HurricaneWarning 212 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Nope. Coming from someone who hasn't seen us play this year, I wouldn't know how you'd know. I think we can play with George Wythe, we shall see Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I've seen GW, and Marion hasn't played a tough schedule at all. Just don't see Marion winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 GW by 3 tds at least. Too much size and speed for Marion. GW is my pick for 1A State Champs right now old_school 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwloyal 192 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'll just take a win. Marion is one of the tougher teams on our schedule, and no matter what some other chatterboxes might say on other forums, most everyone around Wytheville know that.

GW is my pick for 1A State Champs right nowI think so to and it's no disrespect to them. GW should just have to much for them. I don't think the run game will be there for them. So they will have to air it out all night if they can keep us out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAFB 218 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have not seen GW play yet, but I have seen Marion. I will say Marion just may be the Most improved team in SWVA. I know their schedule thus far has been weak, but I was impressed With Marion's play. They run their offense very well, with some size and quickness. They have Several skill players who are tough. Their backs run hard, and their passing game is pretty Darn good. Their Defense is solid, and their Coaching is always solid too. Don't sell Canes short this Year. GW will flood the field with athletes as usual, but Marion just may surprise. I am not Saying the Canes will pull an upset, but it might be closer than most think.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks, I seen it somewhere else too but can't remember what site I was on but didn't think it could be right, might be a little too far for a ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GW12 91 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I hope they give us all we can handle. We need a test after 2 games where the team could do as they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwmaroon 23 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Walker Nowers will do a great job at QB. The Maroons will rally around him. That's what good teams do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 STOP USING MAXPREPS!!!! Quite true. You can't even find Ridgeview via the search engine. You have to look up an opponent of ours and then click on us in their schedule to find us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02GW12 91 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Walker Nowers will do a great job at QB. The Maroons will rally around him. That's what good teams do.Yes he will and the team will have his back. Plus with Walker at QB it gives us more speed in the backfield. Don't get me wrong Deacon can run but Walker is a step up in speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02GW12 91 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 what is wrong with the Beamer kid?Concussion-like symptoms but he has been at practice taking reps with 1st team. But right now it's 50/50 weather he plays this week. But we have a really good backup in Walker Nowers who has a cannon and is very fast.

02GW12 91 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Prayers that it isn't a concussion.I think it was more of a precaution to take him out of the game. Plus we had a 40 point lead at the time. From what I'm hearing he is taking 1st team reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plywood_King 518 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hopefully it's nothing serious. That young man can play some football. If history has taught us anything, if this game is competitive, it will be low scoring and defensive, and I have a feeling it will be again. I get a feeling that a big play on defense or special teams will be the difference in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GW12 91 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 2011 GW-52 Marion-13 2012 GW-17 Marion-14 2013 GW-27 Marion-20 2014 Marion-14 GW-6 2015 GW-57 Marion-20 3 out of the last 5 has been a td or less so this game has the potential to be a fun one. And I'm hearing good things about Deacon he is doing well and it doesn't seem to be serious. But it's not 100% that he will play Friday. If he doesn't it's simply to air on the side of caution. His and any other young man's health is more important than a football game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
