Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 A very winnable game but will be difficult. Fiser is a good back. Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriors_XO 214 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 The prize for beating Grundy would most likely be playing Ridgeview in round 1, which is no prize. But the playoff experience is invaluable, especially if Central is to make anything of this run of talent the next 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think Grundy will win 27-22. I wouldn’t be surprised if Central won 27-22 though. I feel Grundy will be too physical for Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 This would be a good win to end the season on for Central with an almost guaranteed #8 seed. However, a win for Grundy could get them a home game in the first round. Both have something to play for, so it should be a hard fought, competitive game. I would give Grundy a slight edge, but not enough for a certain victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Does Central get in the playoffs even if they lose, assuming Marion loses too to Graham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counts 156 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Will be close but it LOOKS like Central will need to win and Marion lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ugly vol 92 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 For some reason this strikes me as a really good game. I will go with Grundy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Its that time of year. Last games of the season and being #8 in the rankings pretty important to teams just on the outside looking in. Central has a lot to play for in this one. Grundy is safely in the 1A playoffs. If your not in, you want in and #8 is good enough regardless if you have to play the #1 Seed. At least you are in.

Counts 156 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I agree Central and Tazwell are both young teams that are looking to the future and getting into the playoffs after a few years sitting on the outside looking in is a big step in getting where there programs want to be Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 5 left on the team. We start 5 freshmen and 2 sophomores on defense, 4 freshmen and 2 sophomores on offense. Only 4 juniors currently on the team, and they all play.

The 2 inside linebackers just play defense and the offensive linemen doesn't start on defense, but comes in. cowboysnskynyrd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These dang freshmen by all accounts should be sophomores. 4 or 5 are holdbacks. Now I have nothing against holdbacks and I am from Wise, but that Great 7th and 8th grade team they had were really 9th graders playing down. The biggest problem I see right now with Central is not the skill position but rather the line play on both sides of the ball. I don't see any linemen in the future. The Mnt 7 is a tough place to play without good linemen week in and week out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, nobody said anything about any 7th and 8th grade teams. And really if you want to be technical, only one of the hold backs has a true age advantage, but that doesn't even translate into a size advantage for him. Let's say they are all sophomore age just to appease you. So? Does that mean they are not a young team anymore? Nope. 4 freshman hold backs with the other freshmen mixed in plus 2 sophomore hold backs is not an advantage, and it doesn't change anything that I have stated. Let's also not "pretend" that any other team that Central has played this year does not have some varied ages. So what's your point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in certain situations it is a great thing for a kid to hold back due to maturity ect: I don't however agree with holding a meeting with 8th grade parents and trying to convince them to hold back the whole lot of them as the majority it is not a good thing. If a kid is ok with grades and maturity then no reason to hold them back. After all as coaches they should be teaching young men to become productive adults and look out for the best interest for the kids. Obviously we will just have to agree to disagree and again I have no ill will toward you or anyone on this board. Just stating my oppinions like everyone else is. fridaynightstripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
