Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 It probably won't even be close. I hope the Dawgs can have a good showing & I commend Coach Harris for putting the Riverheads on the schedule. Play up to get better , play down to pad the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 This game will be a running clock in the 2nd quarter. Tazewell will have played a "good game" if they avoid a running clock before the first half. I would love to see the Dogs somehow, someway pull it off, but Riverheads strength is its line play and Tazewell's weakness or inexperience this year is its inexperienced line play. So, it's a bad matchup for Tazewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 There absolutely is a Possibility of a running clock in the first half. It's Not automatic til 2nd half in Virginia, but Virginia is one of the states having the agreed on Mercy rule at any point in the game (both coaches have to agree if it's done before the half). When the score is a 50 point margin with about 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Tazewell's coach will agree to roll the clock.

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 If I remember correctly in 2014 Giles was beating East Mont like 41-0 late in the first quarter or early in the second and they agreed to start the running clock then. The score was 21-0 within the first minute and a half.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting the Appo fans didn't know it was possible, because in 2 in out of three season from I think 2014-2016, Appo and Chatham agreed to a running clock before the half.

I’m sure Appo did in 2016. Hell they got a running clock in 11 of there 15 games that season. They could’ve won state in 1A-4A that year BoBob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THS6805 124 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 I think the line has 2 seniors and maybe 2 sophomore or 2 freshman. Maybe another senior. But there only 2 that has experience on the line. They route around in last couple of games. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 RH offense gets all the discussion but their defense is phenominal as well. Since this current win streak started they have only gave up more than 21 points only a hand full of times. Twice to Galax, LB, Elkton and Covington.

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Riverheads doesn't have much weakness from what I've watched but the way to move the ball on them and score is the pass. That plays into our offensive scheme perfectly. However with that said Riverheads doesn't make mistakes and if they play the way they normally play, it will never be close. I do think the Dogs get to put up some points with their air raid style offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are they actually have three seniors and one junior who have a ton of experience I think at least two of which have had quarantines at some point though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 The little secret here is that Tazewell’s defense is better than you’d think at first glance. They’ve held both Graham and Virginia High in the 30s, and they simply wore down Mount View as the game went along. Riverheads is an entirely different animal, though. I don’t think Riverheads hits the 60s like many around here think. Tazewell’s offensive gameplan is perhaps the lone weakness for Riverheads. They have had a little trouble at defending the pass. I think Tazewell will move the ball a little and put up a few points. But Riverheads is arguably the best team west of U.S. 29 (and yes, that includes Salem). There will be no tougher test.
