This year the SWD has one win if I remember correctly and it’s over the 3A school in the M7. Surely you recall your original post. You mentioned the “M7 dominance of the SWD”, which is historically untrue. If you’re judging by hardware, the mighty M7 has zero state championship game appearances. The SWD has 2, and is 1-1 when they get there. If anything, M7 has continually fallen flat in state semifinals against Region C, while the SWD has given a decent account of itself. So much for “dominance”. If you want to talk this year, I’d favor Graham or Richlands heavily over Ridgeview, having seen all 3. I have not seen Union, but that team is banged up much more severely than the one that trailed Richlands in the 4th and needed a last second field goal to beat Graham by 2. I’d lay pretty good money that your 2D final is an all-SWD showdown. Dominance and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeview would still be #1 and Union would be #2, if Graham defeats Richlands, or #3 if Richlands defeats Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Although you can take any reason you like from what I am going to say here, I still hate rematches in the playoffs. I like to see playing against a new team that you didn't play in the regular season. I don't want to see us playing Richlands or Graham again and it has nothing to do with our first game against either of them. I would much rather face a Central, Union, or Ridgeview.

I also don't like playing teams in the regular season, out of district, that you may see in the playoffs, or that other teams on your schedule play. I know that Graham was a great schedule and the Richlands game has taken on a life of its own. They are both excellent opponents to get Union ready for the playoffs and bring a great rivalry, but it kills the power points rating. I wish we could load up on Tennessee teams, but it is what it is. That was the best thing about the East vs West system. The travel was horrible for the schools, but I enjoyed playing Gretna, Appomattox, Dan RIver, Tazewell, Stuarts Draft, Clark Co, Graham and Glenvar in the playoffs instead of rematches.

I think that was the year we lost at Richlands on missed 2 pt. conversion. Yeah that was the year when the traveling started to suck but it's nice when all games are at home though so it was good and bad.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 18 hours ago, Ryan4VT said: So extrapolating that data you get this record for the SWD vs. the M7: 31-33. I don't know what your metric is, but "Kicked the SWDs ass up one side and down another" doesn't seem to apply when the M7 has won all of 2 more games against the SWD than they've lost. Also, if you take Lebanon out for the SWD, it's 28-22 for the SWD. Lebanon is the anchor that is dragging the SWD back. Without them, the SWD has owned the M7 (Except for Union). The M7 hasn't "kicked the SWDs ass" but I wouldn't call 28-22 the M7 being owned either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little strong on my part. Both districts are about even. Each has a team that has dominated the other side. Both have regional title finalists. redtiger and Tiger 2000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 As far as playoffs, I think the VHSL had it right with the East/West format, they just had too many teams. Cut it to 8 teams per region - 8 East, 8 West and let's play ball. Great games all around. S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Looks like the only intrigue is in the 4-6 range. Central beats GC, it’s: (4) Central (5) Richlands (6) Tazewell Central loses to GC, it’s: (4) Richlands (5) Tazewell (6) Central Everything else is pretty well set in stone at this point.
