I know Galax doesnt graduate many key players. What does Honaker and GW lose?
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.
I wonder if Galax's schedule played a part Saturday. Seeing a Radford and Graham and Glenvar has to have some kind of meaning when facing Essex. I don't know how much, but it has to factor in. Seeing this type of quality and athleticism and lineplay certainly means Galax isn't going to be overwhelmed emotionally/mentally prior to kickoff. They may win or lose, but they know they've seen some real juggernauts in the regular season that I think has to factor in.
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.
They are holding Essex down because of a weaker schedule. Which again proves your schedule has NOTHING to do with how good you are.
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.
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.
Giles held Radford to 35 points. That means Giles has a better defense than Appo and Riverheads along with majority of Radford’s regular season opponents. I like this new logic, it makes the Spartan defense look pretty good.
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 !!!
I’ve been away from the area for a long time, but I used to despise Pennington when Don Williams was there due to them holding back players to create an advantage.
Lol, guys it’s not everyone whining. I am one of the few that post on both boards and will defend certain things. I have learned any talk about enrollment is a fools errand. I don’t care where we play and as I have said numerous times, Radford was the better team period.
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.
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.
