Ryan4VT Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've come to know and trust this site. They are pretty accurate at a high percentage of the time. So here are their rankings in the preseason for A and AA West. AA West: Team Predicted Record 1. Glenvar 10-0 2. Richlands 9-1 3. Buckingham 9-1 4. Gate City 9-1 5. Giles 7-3 6. Union 7-3 7. Marion 9-1 8. Appomattox 6-4 9. Lee 6-3 10. Dan River 5-4 11. Wise Central 5-5 12. Tazewell 6-4 13. Chatham 4-6 14. James River 4-6 15. Lebanon 4-6 16. Floyd 5-5 17. Virginia 3-7 18. Graham 3-8 (3-8????) 19. Martinsvillle 2-8 20. Gretna 2-8 21. Grayson 4-6 22. J.S. Battle 2-8 23. Randolph-Henry 2-8 24. Grundy 1-9 Note: Ridgeview wasn't listed. I'm sure that will change at some point. A West: 1. Radford 8-2 2. Honaker 10-0 3. Parry McCluer 10-0 4. Galax 7-3 5. Auburn 6-4 6. Covington 7-3 7. George Wythe 5-5 8. Ft. Chiswell 6-4 9. Hurley 8-2 10. Patrick Henry 7-3 11. Rural Retreat 4-6 12. JI Burton 7-2 13. Northwood 6-4 14. Eastern Montgomery 4-6 15. Twin Valley 5-4 16. Holston 2-8 17. Twin Springs 5-5 18. Eastside 3-7 19. Narrows 3-7 20. Bland 3-7 21. Chilhowie 1-9 22. Bath 1-9 23. Craig 1-9 24. Castlewood 2-8 25. Thomas Walker 3-8 (again??) 26. Rye Cove 0-11 (......) Edit: They have Abingdon at 5-5 this season.

Bigrhsfan Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think Union could be better than 7 & 3, and I like Honaker, but I'm not sure about 10-0. They have a chance to be good but going 10-0 is hard and they did loose some good players from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think Union could be better than 7 & 3, and I like Honaker, but I'm not sure about 10-0. They have a chance to be good but going 10-0 is hard and they did loose some good players from last year. But they have a very manageable schedule. 10-0 isn't that far out of the realm of possibility. As for Union, I see them at either 9-1 or 8-2. Losses to Richlands and either GC/Ridgeview.

RiverRat24 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Much more reasonable looking rankings here! I agree with alot of it....however I'd have GC between the 9-12 spot and probably move Union into the 4 or 5 spot. Wouldn't be a bit afraid to put Ridgeview in the 9-12 spot either. But that will all come out in the wash after about week 8 or so. The real top 8 or top 10 will emerge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Marion at 9-1 is the only unbelievable one I see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Gate City at 9-1 is equally as bad. If we didn't have Bluefield and Sullivan South on our schedule i would call it highly unlikely but still a chance. Gretna at 2-8?!?! Woahh....i just now seen that. Think that may be feasible for them this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here are their rankings in the preseason for A and AA West. I certainly hope you are being sarcastic with that...if you are, I can't sense it.

Account Deleted Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 One section of the Calpreps website has Altavista and Honaker ranked as the 4th and 5th best teams in the state, regardless of classification. Another section has Radford the top 1A west school when only considering other 1A west schools. Kinda speaks to GMan's point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Radford has the speed but they are small in the trenches. The rankings are generally off imo. GCs not gonna go 9-1 and GW isint gonna go 5-5. RC isint gonna lose all of their games. Btw, I constantly overlook Covington. Does anyone know what they graduated?

Popeye Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Covington lost most of the offense Line. Graduated around 13 regular starters. Return a ton of speed and an elusive qb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks Popeye. They were an athletic group(although not very skilled) and were big/strong up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I would say the 0-11 / 3-8 records are because for some odd reason MaxPreps has Eastside listed as two seperate games for some schools (one as Eastside, the other as Coeburn).

That appears to be the case for several schools who have recently consolidated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercloud Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Looks like most of these sites base heavy on what a team did the year before, of course except Virginia Preps with Richlands? Just not logical in many cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigrhsfan Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 But they have a very manageable schedule. 10-0 isn't that far out of the realm of possibility. As for Union, I see them at either 9-1 or 8-2. Losses to Richlands and either GC/Ridgeview. I hadn't looked very close at Honaker's schedule so I would say you are probably right about that.

HM3-8404 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 At first back in July I thought Richlands would go 10-0 easily. Then Union, Bluefield and Abingdon all look like very good teams all of those could beat us and Gate City is always tough, if we stumble at all any of those teams they could beat us. The rest of the schedule looks like we should win all of those unless we have a complete meltdown. To me it feels like the area's level of play in the last few years has risen. Back in 2005 -2012 Richlands with this team would be beating everyone by 30+ points now I feel like we could be 7-3 if we don't take care of business.
