As a fan of both teams I have a different take on this game. I think Va High has too many factors in their favor this year for the following reasons:
1. It is homecoming week and RHS usually plays fairly flat in this week of the season.
2. Va HIgh has had 2 weeks to rest and prepare.
3. Va High Will be" Up "for this game remembering what happened the last time they played at the Ernie.
4. The addition of the transfer running back from Abingdon who ran all over RHS last year.
5 Sewell is back and RHS doesn't have anyone in the secondary who can cover him much less he and Watkins
both. One will have to be double teamed while the other will run wild.
6. RHS will be hard pressed to pass against Va Highs secondary.
With all this in mind and to the dismay of my family and friends in Richlands, I think this game is going to shock many . VHS by 21
