Counts 156 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 They are a big 1A team in the past they they have been a Power running team with a tough D think they are in a wing T or straight T for the most part Not sure about D year in and year out one of the top teams in A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,864 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 According to the RiverHeads folks, the line will be big, but inexperienced and they have some key skill players coming back. Other than that, that's about all I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,514 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 They have the 1A state player of the year returning (Zac Smiley) & two 1st team all state lineman returning. Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my friend above says, Zac Smiley is the returning 1A player of the year; and would likely have more stats if they weren’t so balanced. He’s not physically overwhelming, but has a MENSA-level football IQ. Riverheads lost some experience, but has plenty remaining. Playing a double-wing or Wing-T team is all about discipline. Can you match the execution? Tazewell certainly has the athletes to compete. Can Tazewell match the discipline? Game of the Week as far as I’m concerned. 😉 redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,739 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've seen them line up in Wing-T, Double Wing, and Wishbone backfields with 1 or 2 TEs but the plays are the same: Trap, Belly, Crossbuck, Counter, Power, Superpower. Occasionally they have a really good passing game. It seems like they never really have dominate backs but they're very balanced and execute with precision. Very impressive team from year to year. I'll put it in the top 2 games for the week. One I'd LOVE to see in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say more times than not they equal or better than most teams they play from a talent aspect. But between the ears they get beat. Maybe that changes this year idk that’s just what I’ve seen.

I must say, I was extremely impressed by (and thankful for) at how we were treated by Riverheads today. Every last person, to a fault, was gracious and accommodating. They are certainly proud of their team, with good reason. Certainly saw the good side of a collection of fans that are maligned quite a bit. barondawg77, Union_Fan and Mountain Football 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
