SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Giles (0-3) will host Narrows (3-0) in the county clash. The last time Giles started the season 0-3 was back in 2002, which is the last time that we lost to Narrows. The Spartans have shown that they can play with Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Graham but have struggled finishing drives in all 3 games (around 10 drives have stalled out in opponents territory). The Waves have a solid run defense and shut the single-wing down for 3 and half quarters last year. Narrows has not scored an offensive touchdown against Giles since 2016. Will the Spartans be able to finish drives or will Narrows end the 16 year losing streak? I see this being a low scoring battle. I’m taking my Spartans 14-13. Who y’all got?

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 It can be extremely hard for a team to get up two weeks in a row in big games. I didn't see the Chilhowie game if it was a extremely hard fought game that will certainly be the case as you can become emotionally drained. If the game wasn't a struggle indicative of the score then different story. When cross town rivalries take place you can throw records out the window.

County boy 5 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Giles front line will be out matched and sooner or later the blaker wiley connection will get loose. Narrows will be to fast and to strong. Narrows 20 Giles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Does Narrows actually attack the weaknesses and the mismatches they have on the Giles D for once or out coach themseleves attack their strengths on O like they usually do in this game? Can the Narrows' D keep those 0 to 2 yard runs in the first quarter from turning into 7 to 10 yard runs or bigger in the 4th like they did last year once the linemen get gassed? Does Narrows counter to Giles' adjustments after halftime? The answer can be yes to all these but will they be? Usually the answer is no to most of these questions and until that changes it'll continue to be more of the same. I will call it like this, I don't see it working out unless Narrows has a 2 score lead after 3. It's going to close and it's going to be fun. 1Wingit23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokiebird7 1,416 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Should be a good game....Giles has played a tough schedule so far, to put it nicely narrows hasn't. Hopefully Giles is battle tested enough that it can pull them through in this one. Should be a huge crowd since everyone on narrows side will be there cause most narrows people I've talked with have already said they ARE winning this year...guess we'll see around 9:30 Friday night Can the big green get their first win in this series since 2002 or do the Spartans make it 17 straight wins? See ya Friday night green wave faithful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Soul 14 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 If Giles doesn’t beat Narz, they will finish 3 and 7 In my opinion. Radford with the big kid that left Giles coming home following week, then having to travel to Floyd. Tough beginning of season for them Spartans.

starcityfootballfan 517 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I thought Narrows would take down Giles last year; however, Giles rallied back to win. Narrows has a lot of motivation but these big rivalry games can get crazy and go either way! In a close one ... Narrows ends the streak! Narrows 21 Giles 17 GRAHAM G-MEN 2018 STATE CHAMPS!

Hope everything is fine. Maybe got sick from eating crow last week!? On paper, Narrows should win this game and is a more talented team than Giles. Narrows has had the talent advantage the past two seasons but can't get over the hump. The difference has been like someone mentioned earlier adjustments, game plan,etc. Giles has a better coaching staff that allows them to win the intangibles. I do however think that may not be enough to to continue the winning streak. Narrows 21 Giles 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 This may in fact be Narrows’ year but I just don’t see it happening. Giles will be the best team Narrows plays this year in the regular season despite us having an 0-3 record. I just hope it’s a good game and I pray that both teams are able to walk off the field with the same amount of healthy players that walk onto the field. 1Wingit23 and Livingfootball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles is definitely the best team Narrows will see until the regional finals! Hard to compare the two due to obvious difference in strength of schedule. I think the difference will be Narrows has a swarming defense and Giles just doesn't have nearly enough offense to challenge them. Hopefully two completely healthy teams walk off that field though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
