Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 12 minutes ago, UVAObserver said: You’ve just hit the doomsday situation, LOL. Tazewell would be 5-1 and the SWD’s #1. Richlands and Graham would both be 4-2. Both would have losses against a 5-1 team and a 4-2 team. The Power Points would therefore be dead even. Each team went 1-1 against the other. How does the Region break that tie? District standings would seem the most logical (which would then favor Richlands), but I have no clue how the Region voted on that. It’s mathematically possible that Richlands could still advance but that’s the one and only scenario I’m fairly sure. I’ll edit my post above to reflect that. Good eye. If it didn't involve Richlands losing to Tazewell for the first time since before I hit puberty, I'd almost root for this exact scenario just to see the chaos it would bring haha.

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If Abingdon and the out of district games(including Graham/Richlands I) really don't count, and the Battle/Central/Ridgeview games are forfeits, we could always end up with something like this, in no particular order... 1.) Central-Wise 4-1 96 19.2 2.) Ridgeview 4-1 96 19.2 3.) Union 4-1 96 19.2 4.) Graham 4-1 96 19.2 5.) Richlands 4-1 96 19.2 6.)

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Ridgeview already has 2 losses, if the Battle cancelation counts as a L and is calculated but still, a 5 way tie at 4-1 is a nightmare lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the outcomes could reasonably be disputed then a different conversation can be had. Gridiron60 and redtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Completely agree. Both would be huge upsets, and the blame for the situation falls in Battles lap but it is what it is. I just hope it doesn't screw over the M7 - if the SWD splits they will have Three teams at 4-1 and the M7 could have whatever, the SWD will get all 3 in and the M7 will end up with only 1... because they didn't do what is imo obviously the right thing Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-oo- 146 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 On 3/7/2021 at 8:48 AM, UVAObserver said: 75 yards in penalties. 12 yards of total offense for Marion. 3 of the penalties were procedure penalties. 1 offsides, 1 illegal shift, 1 “5 men on the line”. 4 of the penalties were personal fouls, just of the “overaggressive” variety. I’d rather see a team have to tweak the intensity down instead of the other direction. Attention to detail will likely be a key issue this week. That's actually an insane stat!! Tazewell will definitely have to keep those personal fouls down. Those little mistakes will decide who wins. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTrot 180 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If I was Tazewell, I would bring the house on Richlands QB and Keep Webb in Check. Tazewell has a real shot to break this streak! Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed though, a repeat of that may be what separates a win from a loss. Strange to see when the Riverheads game, which was far more physical, was so clean.

Jags52 346 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 In the past I would say that Richlands has a MAJOR coaching advantage over Tazewell when Mance was at the helm. Thad Wells is also a hell of a coach so I think the coaching advantage still goes to Richlands but not as much as before IMO. Mance always did a good job of taking away what you do best and making you beat them with your second option. They were not able to do that against Graham and Bradshaw. I do not believe Tazewell has anyone as talented as Bradshaw but they do have more threats. 1,2,3, and 4 are all really good football players and it is hard to key in on just one. Tazewell was all over the place as far as lining up defensively against Marion who runs normal spread sets. Richland's base offense is tackle over with a lot of motion and crazy formations. IF Richlands can take advantage of an Tazewell not lining up right I could be a long night for the dawgs. This is a toss up game I believe Tazewell is the more talented team but it will all boil down to if their athleticism can make up for their undisciplined play.

Tazewell has a legitimate chance to win this game. They have to be smart and win the line of scrimmage, can't give the qb time to throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goSWVA 11 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 All of the county players and coaches know who can do what, and I’d like to see a match up based on athleticism and strategy, not kicks in the face. Richlands for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The participants on both the Tazewell and Richlands teams, and even Graham, know each other fairly well. It’s a small area and many of them run in the same social circles and have competed for years both against each other and sometimes with each other. They are very aware of the other’s strengths and weaknesses athletically. I would love to see them come out and see who can play the better football game. I know emotions and adrenaline run high, and all teams have their bad moments, but I was disappointed to see some of Tazewell’s behavior in the last game. They were a lot better skill-wise than Marion, but speaking only my opinion, they are better people than what they demonstrated on the field.
