IRISH-FAN18 323 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Unfortunately, Riverheads will have their way with GW. If you hold Essex to just 8 with all the athletes they have, then GW will pose no problems at all. Maybe 4-5 TD win for Riverheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwloyal 192 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I know everyone and their mamma will be taking Riverheads, and most will take Riverheads big.....I can't fault a soul for that. But MAN....What a legendary opportunity we have! Nothing left to do but show up, play hard, play confident, and see if we can't play our way into a chance at stealing the show. Likely? No....Impossible? Also no. MMcMahon26, Gridiron60 and EH31 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 This is not the riverheads of teams past- but they are still a machine. The beauty of the offense makes it extremely hard to get a good clean shot on the runner because there is so many bodies flying around. And their backs run extremely hard which makes it hard to keep them from getting several yards a shot unless you can bottle them up at the line of scrimmage. Essex had talent everywhere but like RedPride stated in here or the other board it is not used correctly. The play calling was suspect in several key times. Their D line alignment set them up for failure before the snap. I hope its a great game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 IMO GW runs a similar offensive set but I feel the Maroons QB keeps the ball and runs more frequently. I believe it will be a good game and closer than some might think regardless of who wins. GW does some things very well that Essex does not. That’s not to take away from Essex but they became very predictable yesterday whereas I feel GW has become more dangerous as they have gotten everyone back. And Essex did turn it over 5 times but some were at least in part due to Riverheads D. Can’t expect that every game but the Gladiators don’t generally turn it over 2 times either.

Hokie Bound 107 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Riverheads 35-6. I've seen the show too long. Nothing against Gw but Riverheads is and has been a different animal in Class 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Best wishes to the young men from Wytheville. I hope you all, like Graham, bring home a state title back to SWVA and I'll be raising heck rooting for both of you on Saturday.

Red Rabbit 14 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 My grandson just showed me the GW film . Wow , I am sorry but you guys are correct . Riverheads will score at will and my guess is GW will not score or only in garbage time . I think there is a lot of talent in SWVA and it would be nice to see a good game but odds are it won't be . I hope it's an injury free contest for everyone . jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rabbit 14 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Had to eat a little crow but didn't expect the Red Team to play so poorly . Chances of that happening two weeks in a row are slim . GW best have a party , go out to eat , get a motel room and use the pool . Hold practice at VT and get pictures taken . Enjoy the ride because the destination won't be comfortable . Happy for them to make it to the big dance . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin’ One could tell the Riverheads to enjoy the big dance this year because they may not even make it to the floor next year in 2A where they should have been all along, lol. sixcat, Dobb83, Number 50 is my dad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a douche....well see next year when they play teams they should have been playing all along...oh yeah they were 2A once and it didn't work out for them....so they tucked their tails and ran to lower division where they could beat up on teams half their real size or more than half nrv_football, Mountain Football, Gridiron60 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS Fan 2 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I thought George Wythe was moving to Division 2 next year? I just seen someting saying they are staying Division 1. George Wythe High School serves 451 students in grades 9-12. Riverheads High School serves 468 students in grades 9-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Wythe High School serves 451 students in grades 9-12. Riverheads High School serves 468 students in grades 9-12. The way VHSL calculates ADM figures changes effective 2023/2024 school year. They will no longer count the senior class. According to the March 2020 VHSL ADM figures on the VHSL website, George Wythe currently has 410 students in grades 9-12. Take away the senior class and they are on the threshold of Class 1 (~350). Incidentally, that same ADM chart on the VHSL website shows Giles, Fort Chiswell, Buffalo Gap, Washington & Lee, Lebanon, Central Lunenburg, Riverheads, Grayson County, Essex, Northhampton, Chilhowie, and PH Glade Spring all with greater or roughly equal ADM figures as George Wythe.
