Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I see this very one sided especially with Covid pause & lack of games for George Wythe. Coaching advantage definitely goes to Galax.

02GW12 91 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 No one is going to be able to and shouldn't try to lol. Unless Galax has an absolutely pitiful performance they will win easily. Yeah sure we finally have our actual starting QB back which means his brother can go back to being one of our best skills weapons. It adds alot to the offensive side of things. But not enough to beat Galax. I full expect to see running clock by the half. Galax-60 something GW-14 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper22 39 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Galax played by far and away its best and most complete game of the year Friday night. If Galax can have a repeat performance I would give edge to Galax. Allen opened the playbook wayyyyy up compared to the first 5 games and it was a huge difference. Galax has played a tough schedule the first half of the year with Glenvar on 7 days of total practice, against a hard nose Giles team, then a battle against Radford. Not to mention having to go against a really good Graham down 5-6 players. It's been brutal. Now they need play flawlessly as they need the points and Giles and Parry McCluer are clicking and not mention Grayson county has quietly put together a 4-2 season thus far.

I don’t think they have a coaching advantage, Their coach is living off the Residuals of Dixon’s final class. That being said it will be tough to get a win for GW with the month layoff.

I see your point I do but Harner is not capable of defending the Galax offense. He never has been yes getting our QB back will help the O a lot not saying his brother hasn't done a great job cause he has. I just think he's our best WR and his brother is the best option at QB they are a dangerous duo for sure. But Galax knows our plays inside and out they literally call them out before we run them and I agree the extremely vast gap at which he was being out coached is there anymore with Dixon gone. But he is still gonna be out coached by some margin that's been proven with this spring seasons playoff game. I just think it's a massive blowout I hope and pray I'm wrong I swear I do but I'll be shocked if it's not running clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke "2" is the QB not Ben. Ben only played QB last year because Luke had a ruptured Pec muscle so he missed a year playing and is still a little rusty. Last game he came to life and now 3 weeks off guess we will see. 02GW12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GW12 91 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 That's what I meant lol sorry if it all got confusing with my jumble of words. Luke is #2 Ben is #7 right? I'm pretty sure it's 7 and yeah he was the one calling them out but some of those kids he had are still at Galax. That imo is why this coach is so successful currently Dixon's remaining talent. Like I said I hope I'm so wrong on this one I'd love to beat Galax for once but I just don't see it. The talent is on the field for sure to do it but I think coaching gets us beat and beat badly on Friday. I think at the Skills we are at least equal to them if not better but I think Galax will easily have the advantage in line play. And when we're on D that'll hurt a lot! If Beeman or the QB get to the second or 3rd level constantly we're screwed. When we're on O it'll hurt but not nearly as much we have the athlete's to outrun them to the edge. And now with both twins on the field were dynamic on O to many weapons not to score. I just think our D is outclassed here and we are outclassed in coaching.

Ben is 6, Beeman is gone, but Ben will be on a play count this week so it may not be as close as I would hope. But come playoffs hopefully Ben is full go. 02GW12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Quick question. Even if the defense knows what’s coming, if executed properly isn’t every play supposed to be somewhat successful? I am not being an a$$. In the admittedly little bit of film I have watched of GW, it’s execution as much or more than scheme or play call. In a thread not so long ago the complaint was about GW running the same play repeatedly. I won’t say that doesn’t happen but again when executed every offensive play has a chance of success. It’s not always probable but it certainly is possible. Either way, back to the squabble at hand, lol. 02GW12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some seniors who i believe packed it in after the first few plays and were going through the motions through the rest of the game. It wasn’t the finest hour! 02GW12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon would scream the play coming at his defense more often than not and against virtually every opponent. It didn't matter a lot of the time. I recall him knowing Northside was going to the big TE a few years ago. It didn't stop that kid from having over 100 yards receiving and a couple TD's. Dixon did the same thing repeatedly against your Gladiators. It didn't really have any affect on the outcome of any of those games. I agree completely with your premise. If the offense executes, does it really matter? My personal opinion, @Jollay, living rent freescreen identity isn't the only thing "living rent free" in Wytheville. 02GW12 and Gridiron60 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's hard to execute a play properly when the defense sets up in the perfect position to stop it cause they know what it is. If you and I coached opposing teams and I told before the game we would only run hail mary's the whole game would you run a goal line D or a prevent? Same concept here it's hard to execute when 1 they know what's coming and 2 they know what's coming because it's the same play they just saw 5 times.

Maybe we’ll see some surprises on offense against Galax. Even with some surprises, I think Galax can make adjustments and it’s going to be a win by at least 3 TDs. I could be wrong. I hope it’s competitive but I just don’t see it being a barn burner. 02GW12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Different sport but same principle. As Greg Maddux once said, “No need to steal the sign. I will tell you what I throw. It’s an 89mph Sinker and you won’t even swing at it”. Knowing what it is and stopping it is two entirely different things. We are talking about high school kids here. I will give you the best example yet. In 2015 the young man from Galax might as well have been in the huddle with Riverheads. He was a machine and I give him all the credit in the world for that state championship that Galax rightfully won. The next time they faced each other the coach knew we ran the same plays and may have called them out but they could not stop them. Just like with boxing or any combat sports, matchups make fights. Sometimes you are the hammer and sometimes you are the nail. So is life..... Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
