So I'm 4-2 so far in the finals....picked final score total of Richlands game at 52. I missed Blacksburg (congrats to them, though!) and Dinwiddie. Gwave, if you're out there....let me know how you're doing!

That'll end an incredible season of high school football. Very privileged to stream 4 high quality games today in 3A-6A.

I hope your right

But we might also see some long TD passes....Mr. Negative Norm.....

First, you gotta know Im a Sturgill fan....the kid commands (or commanded) the offense like nobody else in the area..IMO. The RPO they ran was top notch and he ran it well. Having said that, what impresses me about JLA is the fact the defense knows he's going to throw it every play...that's not even a question. Yet he still completes a ton of passes. He also has the benefit of really good WRs and that most definitely makes a QB look better. But I can't help but think that if they (Richlands) had any kind of run game then he would be even better. I'm not blaming the coaching staff, if you don't have a kid that can run then you go with what you have. And they've done that very well this year.

Same question for BBurg.

Woo hoo! Way to go Richlands!

This is to much with someone who has had a cath and stent
 
GO BLUES!!!!
 
I said Lord its in ur hands.  You know

High school has very few penalties that bring auto first down.  For instance; pass interference is not an auto first down. Most personal fouls are not. Roughing the passers and kicker are exceptions.

how you get a personal foul unsportsman flag, inside the 20...and not get a first down?

Emory & Henry. As in the "Wasps"...lol

And to you as well!

yep. Good luck to you

I think both semi finals are already decided if I'm not mistaken

Yep congrats. I should have known better.

I left with with about 5:00 to go in game and of course turned on the radio. I heard some people in the background once or twice but I couldn't make out what they were saying....albeit, I knew they were Northside people because it sounded celebratory. I've been in the press box a number of times so I figured you guys were next to some NS staff. I agree wholeheartedly, terribly unprofessional to be that way in a press box.

The best thing about this (or worst thing) is that the Northside coaches were right next to our box and screaming and celebrating all night long so loud that it went out over our air. Most unprofessional staff we've had up in the box, where you're not supposed to root (and I know coaches will scream on bad plays or throw stuff or clap and say "all right" when something good happens, but these guys went fan boy to a level I've never heard).
 
From the time Northside got outside on this play, and keep in mind the guy was still about 10-yards from scoring, one of the coaches starting screaming "STRIKE UP THE BAND BABY! THAT'S IT! STRIKE UP THE BAND!" incessantly until the PAT was kicked. This kind of thing happened on several occasions, and we apologize that this kind of stuff went out over our air all night long. Nothing but respect for the way Northside played and coached. Their gameplan was excellent and Abingdon didn't respond. But sometime sooner than later (assuming it's not been addressed already) they're going to be told they can't act that way in a press box. It's beyond unprofessional.

AHS was outcoached tonight. No doubt. And give credit where due, Northside came to play. Their play calling was outstanding...beat us around the end and we couldn't contain....but we didn't adjust our scheme for that at half. Fulton being out really hurt our ground game too. We had no punch. 2nd team RB did a good job, but not like Fulton...no where near. Tough loss for these boys. Northside seemed to catch a lot of breaks too....tipped pass by our D lands in the hands of Northside WR at the one, for example. We had a chance to score with first and goal at the 8 early in the 4th....2 running plays for Sturgill on the left side that gained a yard each. One incomplete pass on an out route at the 2 incomplete. Fade to corner on 4th fell incomplete. Bad play calling there no doubt...that's where Fulton could have really helped us.

Good luck to all the "good guys" tonight! Some local teams are playing each other, which stinks because someone has to win and someone has to lose, but here's to all the players...may you play the best game of your career and walk away with your head held high no matter the outcome!
