Galax loses Tedruhn Tucker, AJ Ashworth, Bishop Whitaker and Ayden White. Everyone else returns. Colton Coomes and Ayden Stiltner will have an expanded role in the offense. Stiltner, in my opinion, will become the feature back. Current freshman Trey Markham and Braeden Whitaker show a lot of promise if they continue to develop. They are both already over 6-feet tall and weigh close to 200 pounds, fearless and a very good athletes. Another year of growth and weight training should help them even more. Markham's family moved here from the Charlotte area during Covid from what I was told. George Wythe loses Tandem Smith (QB), Austin Repass (WR), Caleb Campbell (WR) and Laden Houston (RB). I have no clue about Honaker. Maybe they should lose the defensive coaches on purpose. They obviously spent way more time on that offense than anything on defense.

Grayson's superintendent is frantically searching for another group of homeschool kids to play two grade levels below their age as we speak!!!

That's exactly why Galax plays the schedule they play and will continue to do so. The Galax kids know they can handle four quarters of physical football. The question usually is, can their opponents. Essex didn't have an ounce of quit in them. Galax pounded on them for four quarters and those kids kept coming back for more. Galax graduates 4 seniors that saw action Saturday night. The starting center being the only lineman. Galax usually goes as the line goes so that should be solid next season.

I don't think there's an argument, the MED is the best Class 1 district in Virginia for football. I believe any one of GW, FC, Giles and GC would have given Honaker a run. It just happened to be Galax.

Giles -6.6 Galax -6.7 George Wythe -13.0 Grayson County -13.1 Buffalo Gap -14.3 Fort Chiswell -15.1 The MED hold 5 of the top 6 spots for strength of schedule in Class 1. Link should take you straight to the final rankings for Class 1. https://calpreps.com/2023/ratings/Virginia_division.htm

They are holding the East in general down for their schedule strength. Northumberland (14) and Lancaster (21) didn't even crack the top 10. They were both behind Giles, Rural Retreat and Narrows. Class 1 statewide was down but the east was WAY down.

CalPreps Class 1 final rankings. I don't agree with this at all. Essex was without question, the best Class 1 team Galax faced all season. Ranking them 4th is a joke. Rank School Rating (Rounded) Schedule Strength Opponents' W-L 1 Galax 5.7 -6.7 123-62 2 George Wythe 0 -13 88-70 3 Grayson County -1.1 -13.1 62-78 4 Essex -1.5 -27.4 83-88 5 Honaker -1.6 -20.8 87-73 6 Altavista -9.6 -22.4 88-72 7 Sussex Central -11.4 -25.6 69-80 8 Patrick Henry -13.3 -26.1 63-70 9 Fort Chiswell -14.3 -15.1 77-63 10 Rye Cove -14.8 -32.8 74-72

I don't know Ronnie Davis at all but from what I gather on here, he has some strong Jack Turner vibes. Comes on strong, fades quickly, and disappears completely.

Galax, Mount Airy and Radford all brought back state championships. Three high schools within a ~50 mile radius. Pretty impressive!

Dam, I love this new logic. This could be fun.

Essex held Galax to 7. Since Giles held Galax to 14, this new logic must suggest Giles is a touchdown (or 2 safeties and a field goal) behind Essex !!!

You been living in Tulsa Time?

I don’t think anybody here has a beef with you. But some of your neighbors on the other board are outside their damned minds. They can’t have it both ways.

Riverheads fans on the other board whining about having to play schools bigger than them. My how the tables have turned. One guy even tried to convince everyone Radford had 900 students because he “did a Google search.” Augusta County is going to be redrawing boundary lines for sure now.

Riverheads!!! If they play where they belong, Galax wins a couple more championships. That group between 2019 and 2021 deserves better. Those were the best teams Galax ever produced.

Both WDBJ and WSLS have video on YouTube of the play just before halftime. Camera and angle was right on top of the play. He really wasn’t close to scoring.

Please have a kind thought for Essex head coach Todd Jones and his family. A family member had a medical emergency during the game and passed away.

🤣🤣🤣

It was a pleasure to meet you. Bring the train horn to Galax next fall and we’ll get you a good spot beside the 35-person visitor bleachers.

He’s only a freshman!!!

Soccer school with a football problem!!!

Galax with a 42 yard field goal with 7 seconds remaining. Lead 7-6

Mount Airy 21 Tarboro 3 Final.

#56 for Galax is a wrestler. I guarantee he’ll keep coming back for more.

Happy riding his bicycle down Main Street in Blacksburg.
