MT FAN 91 119 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thoughts on this rematch? I for one am expecting a much more competitive game this go around and the young men from Galax know how much better GW has been playing since the last meeting. I still think if Galax plays up to there capabilities they can come away victorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think Galax wins probably by a lot. True, GW is improved but I think being off round 1 will hurt more than help. At this point in the season every team benefits from starters & subs getting more reps. Keeps the rust down! If GW wins, I’ll be shocked.

Jollay, living rent free 120 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Well I can tell you this. If Gw doesn’t come out and have anything new in the bag I expect the same ole same ole! Here’s a stat of the day for you guys! Last 9 games between GW and Galax GW is 0-9 being outscored 338-102. That’s your stat of the day!!

sixcat 2,937 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Every year people suggest the playoff rematch will be closer than the regular season game. Every year, it isn’t. This iteration will be no different. Deleted Account and MT FAN 91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said have you guys ever heard of the due theory?? hopefully one day GW will be due for a victory and to add maybe one day rivershead is due to lose a title game!! hey thats why you play the game.

Every year, it isn’t. This iteration will be no different. That was my initial take when reading MT FAN 91's initial post. No way I can pick it to be close until one of these playoffs games in actually close. I don't know this for sure, but it seems to be George Wythe's talent level on its team over the years is a bit closer than what the playoff score indicates. Not that the Maroon Tide doesn't have more talent, because I think they do, but scores like 41-21, 50ish to 6, 42-14 the last 3 or so years, and that's an average margin of roughly 30 points or 4 touchdowns. I don't know if Galax's talent level is 4 touchdowns more than George Wythe. Maybe it is, I don't know, but I think these past games largely speaks to the Maroon Tide's Coaching. Riverheads gets the Headlines in Class 1 other than Galax who beat em a few years back, but if you look at what Galax does in the regular season on the years they make the state title game and compare that to the playoffs, Galax absolutely seem to find another gear and pick it up a notch at the perfectly right time. There's nothing to indicate this game won't be different in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Could it be different? Possibly Will it be different? Likely not GW can compete with Galax but they can’t stay conservative on offense or defense and expect to win. Balanced approach but lean more towards attacking while you have the ball. What’s the worst that could happen, lose? Outside of GW most people expect that already so flip the script and come out with fire in your eyes.

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I will agree that GW definitely seems like they’ve improved since I watched them in week 3 but so has Galax. Not only looking at the impressive wins they’ve had but even the losses were impressive. Lost by two TDs to the #1 team in 2C and gave the overall top team in 2A all they wanted for 2.5 quarters. Let’s also not forget how Galax turns it up a few notches in the playoffs. As much as I would like to see GW knock them off and give Giles a 3rd round home playoff game(if we beat PM) I just don’t see it happening. Galax wins 35-13.

I always get nervous about the GW game every year. I usually watch a couple of their games in person and think are we going to be able to match that speed. And yet we do. GW looked really impressive against Grayson , but Galax looked the best I had seen in a long time Friday night. Football is a game of lucky breaks and momentum so anything can happen. We may end up losing this one but I have been extremely impressed with the Galax kids character and fight this year. To battle back and forth with Glenvar after missing a whole week of practice and to play hard against Graham being down 5 starters , no matter how the game ends up I’ll be proud of their efforts. .

We came out in new sets and a totally different Quarterback running plays we haven’t run all year Friday night. We threw all night last Friday and tried to run this Friday . Totally didn’t help, It made thing worse. Lol they are a tuff out. We might have had 20 yards total offense except for two big pass plays until the jvs got in . We brought 10 guys stacked in the box with a 5 man front and dared them to throw it. instead it took them 2 plays to adjust and they just blew us of the ball. Then decided to throw on us just to show they could. MT FAN 91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper22 39 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 This game will come down to Galax DBs as GW is not going to run on them in my opinion. To much speed on the outside and two stud linebackers on the inside . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andersonj829 7 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think what a lot of people don’t realize is how much the weight room has set Galax apart. Very rarely do you see any of their guys getting blown off the ball. It’s a right of passage up here and I know others hit the weight room but they seem to do something just a little bit different. It’s also helped with injuries. sixcat and MT FAN 91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also helped with injuries. Right of passage is a very good way to put it. The dedication is passed down from grade level to grade level with each passing group not wanting to let down those that came before them. It isn't something that can be easily replicated, either. Coaches can put all the right things in place but it's up to the kids and the community to buy-in and make it something special. I see the weight room parking lot full every morning when I drop my daughter off for the Governor School shuttle at 6:30 am.
