Blues_56 23 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 [ QUOTE ] monticello has one loss by one point in overtime to a very good DIV.4 courtland team.make no mistake monticello is for real.and will put some points on Richlands.question is,hows Richlands gonna respond if they get behind by a couple TDs?we will find out how good they are then. [/ QUOTE ] Well i can remember back last year when we were suppose to be ran over by a guy named Marcus Mayo(QB from Rockbridge Co.)...and he was pretty much shut down(running the ball) the whole game. Trust me, the kid is going to show some moves and who knows, might run right over us, but i doubt it, the D the past few years has been able to control the run game pretty decent and to good backs too. Prolly nothing to the caliber of this kid, but my money is on our D. But who knows, we will see on saturday, i hope we stay focused, thats the only thing that matter. If we(Richlands) can do what we've done the past 3-4 weeks, i think we will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mayo was nasty. the only reason he went to Ferrum and not a big school was because they assured him he'd be able to play basketball and football. As for shutting him down, I remember him having some pretty good stats last year in that game. Im not sure, but its what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know about Graham, but at Richlands, we were taught that all sentences begin with capital letters and should be double spaced before starting a new one. Hey 56, don't pay any mind to ghs84. He refers to everybody as "idiot." I think there are some insecurity issues with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cola 10 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mr Renolds is not an idiot, Mayo is a good athlete, but not the best on that day. Maybe 3rd. Austin Fuller turned someones head that day as well as a few others who are now or soon will be playing at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, the weather was horrible that day (cold and rainy) but the field conditions didn't favor either team. KG wanted to postpone the game until Sunday because of the weather condidtions but Coach Carlock would have none of that and said he and his team and fans were there to play on Saturday so the game went on as scheduled. I actually think there were a couple of other Championship games postponed until Sunday that year (lots of snow/sleet/freezing rain in the mountains). That was one of the major reasons games are now held at neutral sites. Graham was built for speed that season...they had a couple of small, fast running backs who they tried to get to the outside on every play and the line wasn't overly huge except for that Mullins kid that went to UVA. King George was basically the same type of team with a very potent running attack also having two good running backs (both named John Parker...one went by Jonathan)...pretty sure they ran the Delaware Wing T offense. It was a very good, competitive game that was in doubt until the middle of the fourth quarter when Graham took the lead but KG never gave up and Graham had to play some good defense in the last minutes of the game to hold on for the victory. I don't remember if they went all four games without completing a pass but I do know they didn't attempt one in the Championship game. And they had a pretty good, smart QB that season to who never made mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy17 10 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I think the key for Richlands saturday is to jump on Mont.early like we did against Brook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy17 10 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 In addtion to what I said earlier, Blues need to cash in on all trips to the red zone. Against Brook they went into the red zone 2 or 3 times and could not punch it in. They have had that problem all year, but the offensive has came along way since the beg of the year.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I also remember about 2500 or more Graham fans making the trip anyway, despite the snowy travel conditions. The funniest thing I ever saw at a football game happened there. Some of the King George teens wanted to come over and start some trouble or something, came over and started taunting some of our fans, calling them red-necks and even sat down on our side...Then about a dozen or so Graham fans dressed in their camo and orange "asked" them to leave and I never saw anybody get up and run to the other side faster...ever.

techfan 43 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Mayo was not the best athlete on the field that day, the two best athletes on the field that day were Austin Fuller and the Wide receiver from Rockbridge County.
