GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 They are still in the hunt. If they win the River Ridge they are in. If they only lose one more game, they still have a shot but will come down to points for the 4th seed in the Region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CougarFan 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Unlike last year when 8-2 wasn't good enough to get in, 6-4 might do the job this year. Fleming is a lock from the Blue Ridge, and Salem and Amherst look to be headed for playoff spots. That leaves PC (2-2), JF (0-3), Heritage (1-2), and Staunton River (2-1) to compete for the final spot. All three of those Seminole schools will likely lose at least two more games (Liberty & Amherst). If Pulaski loses only one more game (a district game), they're in barring some major Seminole upsets. Two more losses for the Cougars and they'll still have a solid shot. Liberty moving back to Division 3 has opened up a playoff spot in Division 4.

It made me hellified happy. Is this the first AP sportswriter's poll of the year? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the last 20-some odd years ... I don't EVER remember the Blues entering in the first slot, even in 92. Best wishes to them and my hopes they treat every week like championship week, staying focused and finding even the smallest detail to improve! Props guys. Question: Who besides Graham and Liberty (Beal) -- I think -- is D-3 in those 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog95 10 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Tunstall almost beat Gretna Monday night. Tunstall had Gretna 21-7 at halftime. Tunstall's starting running back was eating them up in the first half, but had to sit out the second half because of "turf toe". Anyways, Gretna worked their way back and kicked a 25yd. field goal with a couple seconds left in the game. 22-21 Gretna. In two weeks we (Martinsville) play them. Hopefully we can knock off that 32 or 33 game winning streak. That would be a big win for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] On a serious note, Richlands folks (and Region IV fans in general) shouldn't overlook Turner Ashby. The Valley District is pretty well stocked with great athletes, and they play a pretty fundamentally sound brand of football up that way. I still stand by my prediction that the victor in the semifinal game between Region III and Region IV will win the Division 3 title, but it won't be an easy chore. (I'm wavering a little bit on my prediction that the actual semifinal matchup will be Richlands vs. Liberty, but a good effort by the Minutemen against Staunton River on Friday will boost my confidence once more.)

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Freshman classes are always quite large, but drop-off quite a bit by the time graduation rolls around. When I was a freshman we had 245 in my class, by the time graduation day rolled around only 184 graduated. The same thing happens almost everywhere with an average dropoff of 15%. Many things contribute to such including people moving, kids failing a grade, kids dropping out, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
