tiger2001 20 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hopefully this one will be better than the regular season game for the Blues. . RV with lots of weapons. Richlands, not nearly as many. I think it will be a better game. Richlands has played with much better energy since Tazewell, just not sure that will lead to a Win. The Blues , other than one long pass play here and there have resorted to using Webb in the backfield more than at receiver. Cox has ran hard the last few weeks, and brown has as well.Defense has improved. Weather appears that it will come into play at some point Friday and may shake things up some. Hoping for a competitive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwvaOG 600 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 This game will be closer than the first one, if not only for Richlands has seen what RV has. They will game plan to stop #7 but if #13 shows up big like Friday night, it may not matter. Look for Richlands to run better this time. Watched that Va High game and they ran well.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Closer than the first game: Richlands has settled in a little and Ridgeview has been up and down. Wolfpack by 3 TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Seen some improvement on the Richlands side, but not enough. The results will probably be equal to the regular season game, but it's the playoffs and anything could happen. I'll hope for the upset, but really have my doubts, just being truthful. Still a fan, never give up, never give up, GO BLUES!!! Irishman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be better to have a 14 point victory and keep starters injury free, rather than a 4TD victory and maybe get a valuavle starter injured? It's playoffs, no need to try to be impressive with the score, win by one point and move on is all that's required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with winning by 1 is it becomes easier to lose by 1 Im saying an early 4 TD margin that we cruise with till the buzzer sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s sometime in the first half you keep the starters in for a bit. If it’s the end of the 3rd then you might pull them! I don’t see 4tds either, but RV can score quickly.

IF Ridgeview can get that kind of lead they will be doing well and would be smart to leave the starters in. The Pack had a comfortable lead vs Richlands in the Spring that quickly eroded when momentum swung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of it that way, but just hope no one get an injury, and I'm sure the coaches for both teams feel the same. Yes momentum can be a ditch to fall into if you pull the starters to soon, agree. Guess I was thinking abolut all the games Richlands won by 4 or more TD's in the Mance years and everyone complained about running up the score.

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 If the Richlands that showed up against Gate City and VA High shows up again, this game could be a close one. If the Richlands that showed up against Ridgeview in round one comes around, it will be a repeat of the first game. I'm done picking for or against Richlands. Just no way to tell with them. <-------which can make things a bit scary for Ridgeview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just disappointments so far. I know they are favored and beat Richlands soundly the first time. A solid win here would get some good momentum headed too am assume game against Central.

Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Rematches, like this one, seem to always go 1 of 2 ways. It will be a 10 point or less win by Richlands, or another 35+ point blowout by Ridgeview. The middle rarely happens. I would bet on Ridgeview, but with their playoff history, who knows...

Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 RV was very balanced the first time around and looked really polished in the game back in September. . Richlands was playing the worst 3 game stretch maybe in the last 2 decades. Not sure how this one plays out, but somewhat expect a better showing from Richlands. Rv would have to make some mistakes and the blues would need to come out swinging to have a shot IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the most Jeckyl/Hyde team around the region. Tiger 2000 and tiger2001 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog05-CO2017 102 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I’ve said it from time to time, for some reason Richlands seems to show up against the better teams. However, I agree, Wolfpack takes the W. Tiger 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0cketer 11 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 So question, is this covered anywhere now, since it doesn't appear that WDIC is covering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0cketer 11 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I found it on a Richlands station and it has been difficult to listen, I didn't realize I gotten used to a lot of our local stations coverage, who most don't just cover one and don't tend to do 'us' we' and a lot more nicknames and cheering for one team so much. I've listened to WDIC and gotten mad before that they seemed to try to avoid being seen as 'pro' our team and/or neutral that they would almost go the other way.....that isn't the case here at all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
