SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I am glad that Giles got to see some talented backs from Bluefield. We won't be able to handle Beck and Terry next week as they are a lot quicker than Bluefields backs and we just flat out are small and don't know how to wrap up. Similar problems to last season only worse this season. I'm still going with my gut that the Spartans will go 8-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man...we had 2 sophomores and 1 freshman at linebacker...give the kids time...they just need some experience Our OL looked awful good and backs looked good as well...may just have to win shootouts until these young kids get some game experience Our staff will do another good job bringing these kids along...just be patient and don't be so spoiled lol...we can't have 22 Brian Mann's every year TripleThreat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting us to be a 10-0 team. If we go 7-3 I'll be happy considering how young and small we are. And I know we had multiple key players out, especially the best defensive back we have. I'm looking forward to playing Blacksburg, and I think we'll give em a fight, we just won't be able to contain their backs as expected.

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 And the O-line looked great, were big holes open on almost every play and Beidleman is running the ball a lot harder this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see Friday night Hey birdman from the Resting of Angels. Word I get down here in the hollow is simply Giles didn't allow really any quick Bluefield drives. That must mean their defense backs made plays even if downfield. I hear ya on those Bluefield backs. They can scat. 34 runs ball harder then most. What would worry me about the defending champs is simply they throw ball better the Beavers. Giles get pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be fully healthy next Friday...Just had a couple out because they were knicked up and no need to play them at all last night. And we had one that was sick and didn't even make the trip. Plus Wilson was out after getting hurt in the Hidden Valley scrimmage last week Hopefully next Friday we are fully healthy because we are going to have to be to have any shot against Blacksburg...But i'll take my chances....We have beat them 6 times in a row they sure are due to finally beat us...and this could be their year to do that Either way I will be there to support the Spartans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTownTigers 82 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 This Blacksburg team improved arguably more than any team in VA the last part of the season. They are the reigning state champions that won 5 straight playoff games to end the season. Their expectations are higher this year coming into the game then any of the past 6 contests with Giles. Blacksburg finished strong and will be a load to deal with for Giles, and when the come to Richlands. It should be a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing both years he played against us....IMO only he looked soft to me and didn't want anything to do with contact....now they may have changed since week 1 last year... I still say Terry is their best player and biggest weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTownTigers 82 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I don't know about BBurg. I didn't see them last year at all. I hear Terry may also be their best player. Just going by what they did last year, there has to have been major improvement at a rate much more than most other teams to have that many losses, and then go on to win the title. Additionally, when Phoebus is one of the playoff victories, it means major improvement. But, Phoebus isn't what they once were. Should be a great contest. I hope Giles wins. It sounds like another Giles and BBurg nailbiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching the game on YouTube from last year (doing my homework for Friday night) and Beck doesn't get any consistency running the ball. It's a committee of 3, and none of them seem to have gotten a rhythm (I'm through halftime). Just my thoughts of the first half of that game.

1bburgfan 41 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hey Ryan , while you have the film out how about a couple stats for me. 1: How many onside kicks did B-burg do and give Giles possession at mid field or better? 2: How many times did they go for it on 4 down and fail giving Giles field position? 3: How many kids did you see going both ways for B-burg ? 4 : How many times did B-burg punt ? This post isn't taking anything away from a good Giles team, just stating what was taken away from a good B-burg team for a half a season. I still firmly believe that the improvement at mid season wasn't the kids but the coaching giving the kids a chance to play football.
