Radford beats Riverheads by 18 and Graham by 12...Graham fans on here acting like world beaters over that 6 pt difference LOL

All this “so and so could be 2nd best” is folly. 
 
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Radford won and that’s the only relevant point. 

I know you guys want to keep graham in the conversation as long as possible but can we quit saying this? Graham couldn’t do anything with Radford in the second half. They were not a threat in the 4th quarter to win the game. 
In comparison, Radford needed a prayer to barely escape Glenvar at home. Radford had to score a touchdown on their last drive. 
 
None of this is arguable. 
 
Congrats to Radford for a perfect season & to Riverheads on being state runners-up!
 

Glenvar is state runner-ups using this logic 

Nobody likes graham.
 
& they don’t care 
 
& if don’t believe them they’ll make a t-shirt that says that to show you how much they don’t care 😂

Non-district scheduling is something that generally gets agreed upon a few years in advance. Those Giles, Fort Chiswell and Grundy matchups would have looked very different 4 to 6 years ago when the conversations likely began for these series. 
But please, keep showing us just how little you actually know about the process. Which is sad for someone that is supposed to be a coach. 

They played the same district schedule as Graham and out of district included Princeton and Riverheads.  So, just what type of Juggernaut schedule did Graham play?  They're not exactly playing Phoebus or anything.  Let's get real here.  They are a 2A school in Southwest Virginia.  Not exactly playing 6A ball in Texas around here.  Also, if you're lucky, there may be 8 good ball clubs in 2A come playoff time.  So, I guess Graham padded their stats too?  That argument is ridiculous.  Also, argue for why your player should be the POY, not why somebody else should not.  

I think we can now put to bed all that talk about how much better Union and Graham are than Radford and Glenvar because from what Ive seen, those 2 schools would finish 4th and 5th respectively in the Three Rivers District.

Not like Richlands has done in the last few years.

Tazewell finished the season 8-4 with losses to:
12-1 Princeton (AAA WV state finalist)
12-1 Riverheads (state semi-finalist)
11-1 Union (state semi-finalist or region finalist)
11-1 graham (state semi-finalist or region finalist)

I made a point to go over and congratulate some teary-eyed Bulldogs after the game. When I watched film of Tazewell and RV I was impressed with the athletes the Dogs had on the field. I knew this would be no cakewalk. I have seen so many teams get intimidated at the park and fold like a house of cards. Tazewell absolutely made us earn every yard today. What a valiant effort in defeat by the Bulldogs. They earned our utmost respect today. I also am man enough to admit when i am wrong. I thought going in that the Bulldog QB was a China doll and questioned his toughness. The relentless Union defense had him down many times, but he picked himself up and kept battling. He earned my respect, and his team earned my respect. Now that I have bragged on Tazewell, On to Union. During deep runs you have to battle through when you are not at your best. The Bears were hard to watch on offense today. Rey had his worst game, and they were way too predictable, but yet again another sophomore with his team clinging to a 12-6 lead and the Dogs driving to take the lead showed up and showed out. I've called the ball hawking secondary the heart of this team, and I am not wrong. Offense may win games but defense wins championships. Great effort today Bulldogs, but the Bears live to fight another day.

Just mentioning Creasy's name seems to get people fired up. Regardless of everyone's opinions on his QB abilities, Carter is a great young man that will be an asset to our area as an adult. I've seen on here a few times where people question his toughness. I can tell you he's one tough kid. He's been through to be so young on and off the field. 

This area still hasn’t adapted out of the smash mouth football mindset. 
 
Systems like the run and shoot and air raid were designed for your receivers to be an extension of your run game. You get your best athletes in space, find the soft spot of the defense & let the QB get the ball out quickly. The quick hitters and screen plays are basically your 5 yard run plays which ultimately forces the defense to move closer to the line of scrimmage which opens up the throws over the top. 
 
Another thing that offense does on a high school level is it keeps the interest level high for the players. Kids don’t want to be fullbacks and tight ends anymore. They like to emulate what they see on tv. How many college/pro offenses are lining up under center and pounding the ball in to the middle of the defense? They’d rather be a Tyreek Hill than a Patrick Ricard. 
 
Tazewell has 11 different players on the roster that have caught a touchdown pass this season. There’s been two separate games that Creasy has thrown 6 touchdown passes to 6 different receivers. 
 
I’m not arguing those stats in this situation to say that he’s better than any other quarterback. I’m just using it to show that everyone is getting involved, they’re not force feeding anyone.

So, the 85 yard TD pass I saw him throw in the 1st quarter Saturday that traveled 50 yards in the air and hit the receiver perfectly in stride didn’t happen?
Besides, have you watched football at every level in recent years. Tom Brady made a 25 year hall-of-fame career throwing those types of passes. It’s the way the games played now. It’s an extension of the run game. 
 
If it’s so easy, why isn’t every high school team in our region duplicating his feats?

Remember when you wanted to go out with a girl and she turned you down so you start telling all your buddies that she was ugly anyway? 
 
that’s the g folks with Creasy 

He was picking Riverheads apart and had just ran for 40 yards before getting pile drived on his already injured shoulder in the 1st quarter against Riverheads.  I don't count that one.  Against Princeton, they put him under tremendous pressure too.  He has the utmost personal character and is a very respectable young man who doesn't get into one ounce of trouble either, the kind of kid you want leading your team win or lose.  

There’s not another QB in SWVA that puts those numbers up against air on a consistent basis. Small school high school football doesn’t see that level of maturity, accuracy and polish from the QB position very often. Enjoy it when it happens. It doesn’t diminish your team to appreciate another kid!
 
My first time seeing Creasy play. Color me very impressed!!!

Gotta tip your hat to #88 also, with about a minute left when our starters were still in he walked around and hugged and shook all the tazewell guys hands! Kudos to that kid! A very class act!

Looks like he took care of business today. 463 yd passing and 4 passing TDs
Do your job but you can still be aware of what's going on around you

Was more of a run but when not breaking the line on 3 plays go for it

There is nobody like #11. 
I can live 100 more years and I know I would never meet someone with a will to win like him. 
 
Every kid should strive to be the warrior that TJ was. 

I am happy for the Dawgs.  Surprising, but awesome game.  Gives them momentum for next week against the Bears.  I am thinking of TJ, #11.  How appropriate this playoff game in a decisive win, being played on 11-11.  
Happy day...Dawgs win, Hokies win, Clemson wins and seal it with a win by the Georgia Bulldogs tonight.  
GO DAWGS!!!!  

Yeah.  This thread is supposed to be a celebration of the triumph of humanity -- well, the part of humanity that plays football for Liberty High School anyway...

Yes you are!! You're putting down the whole team including the players when you say things like calling their coaches and administrators cowards.
