Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Union can lose to Letcher and will still most likely be the #5 seed. Also, best case scenario for Dan River versus worst case scenario for Richlands could drop Richlands to #4. With Lebanon beating Va High last night, I'm not so sure that the Bearcats will beat Lee now. A possibly 5/12 with Gate City, @ Dan River, @ Appomattox. Talk about having the deck stacked against you, lol. That sucks BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks Assuming Gate City finishes 5-5, they will be #12 unless one of the following happens. Lee loses their last 2 games. Martinsville loses their last 2 games Floyd Co upsets Glenvar. Union will have a tough playoff road, but I think they're up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Would Graham not take #1 and Richlands #2 if Appo loses? Graham would be #1... it will be a tough call against Richlands and Appo for #2 spot.... I think it'll come down to opponent w's and l's in those last couple of games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Almost 100%. Pulling for an Amherst Victory... should be a good game between those two... wouldn't suprise me if Amherst wins or if Appomattox wins... 2 very good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO 316 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I don't remember Graham really running it OVER Abingdon as much as running it BY Abingdon. Sure, their offensive line was as physical as I've seen this year, and if that's what you're referencing, my bad, but both Cousin and Meade (in particular) was so fast/shifty, they just ran right by Abingdon. Meade may have broken some tackles late on Graham's last drive, but to me it was more of a dropback, designed QB run or no one open, Meade takes off, leaves the front 7 in the dust and jukes out several others on his way to continual first downs. As for Cousin, AHS had him pretty much bottled up (under 50 yards on the night) except for those 4 long gainers that went for 6. I know it sounds ridiculous for someone who had over 200 yards and 4 TDs, but for the majority of the game, he had nothing going against the Falcons. It's just that when he got 2nd level (again, credit Graham for opening up Monster Truck sized wholes), no Falcon could catch him. Honestly, his performance last year against Abingdon was even better, because he ruled the whole second half. I didn't make it to the Graham game, so what's your opinion of why Reed quit throwing the ball? From what I understand AHS didn't pass at all in the 2nd half. They go up quickly 14-0 and then bail on what got them this far. I understand why he didn't throw as much last night in an attempt to keep RHS offense off the field, but why stop throwing at Graham?

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Dan River and Appomattox don't want to see Union in those rounds either... They'd at least be at home, so that's a big advantage. What style is Dan River? I don't know much about them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 More than a chance. A definite. Not sure anyone wants to to Graham either, when you've got the best RB in your classification and a QB capable of running and throwing you can beat anybody. Graham had Richlands like Union did but couldn't hold on, or else they'd be 10-0 and the clear #1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why he didn't throw as much last night in an attempt to keep RHS offense off the field, but why stop throwing at Graham? They threw the ball quite a bit in the first half but didn't throw a single pass in the 3rd quarter, then they went back to the pass in the 4th quarter with very little success. Fulton ran very well in the 3rd quarter...I think Reed wanted to stay with a hot hand plus run the clock and keep the ball away from Graham. They turned it over on downs a couple of times trying to put the knock out punch on Graham but the G-D held and Cousin took over. Once they started passing again trying to play "catch up", Graham made some adjustments that shut down the passing game. Sturgill was 14-20 in the first half but only 4-10 in the second half.

thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The stoutest part of Appomattox's game is the run defense, whoever gets them better be ready to beat them with more than a run game and the pass defense is as good as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,554 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Not if Amherst beats Appo... I would be shocked. Amherst lost their QB and he was the engine that made their team go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Amhearst was trailing last night for almost the whole game then came back at the end against a decent opponent. Without the qb, I'd say Appo wins hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Amherst has plenty of offensive weapons, they will have a week to the backup qb ready to go. I wouldn't give Appo the game just yet. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaderFan 39 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yep. The drop off is not steep... Maybe not steep but significant it seems. Still very good. Beat Salem earlier in the year. Could be the difference in the Appo game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Let's be real none of us know anything about a backup qb from a school 3.5 hours away. If you're a Richlands or Appomatox fan you're hoping he's 2002 David Carr and if you're a Graham fan you're hoping he's 2004 Ben Roethlisberger.
