RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Purely academic discussion at this point, since Richlands needs to focus on one game at a time. But the Leemen might not be as big and bad as advertised. They've been taken to the wire the last couple of weeks by Broadway and Spotswood (neither of whom are earth shakers by any stretch). As chance would have it, I'll be in Harrisonburg Friday, and I plan to take in the H'burg-Lee game. Word around the Shenandoah Valley is that Staunton is very fast, but they aren't very physical. Not that it matters a whole lot right now. Go Blues! Win #11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Anyone here actually seen them in action? It's hard to believe they are not a physical team, I know they have tons of speed. I would like to go see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will confirm or deny what I've been told after this Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Since the loss to Richlands, Tazewell has looked very good, if we (Richlands) have to play Tazewell I think it will be much much closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] it should be closer......richlands is better than tazewell but not 61-0 better.....if they play again, and tazewell is actually healthy for the game, i would say more like richlands 41 tazewell 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,453 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 all games are going to be closer the second time around, and for the hints of RE Lee not being physical, i played aginst magna vista the first trip we took down there and were s*** kicked by a "lesser physical team" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(by the way cburg didnt look all that impressive in august) [/ QUOTE ] I think it boils down to a couple of things. Hidden Valley was flat after the loss to Salem the previous week. And while Christiansburg isn't a great team, they aren't a pushover either. The Blue Demons have a pretty well developed (although fairly recent) reputation as a spoiler in Region III. Just a bad combination of variables for Hidden Valley. The Christiansburg loss could prove to be a good thing for the Titans. This week's game against Cave Spring will tell the tale. If HV wins that one, the Titans will be pretty focused heading into the playoffs. A loss throws the region into further chaos at the D3 level.

I however like your prediction much better!! We might all find out in a couple of weeks. Good luck to Tazewell and Graham that one should be great!

It was funny, but I guess you had to be there and here it yourself. As for Richlands and Tazewell, yes, with Tazewell at full strength, the game will be closer than 61-0 but I really don't think it will be a close game at all if they play again...Richlands still wins by 30+...

old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I wouldn't say you spanked the G-men. More like you escaped with a hard fought win. The second game will also be a monumental struggle. May have to go watch this one. Good Luck to both teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
