-oo- 146 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Any kind of news for our area? Who are the favorites as we're just a week from district play? I know Graham girls are undefeated for the year. Anybody had a chance to see them play? I think Virginia High is leading the boys side with a few stud players from what I've heard. Anything else?

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Galax is 14-0 having given up only 6 goals all season. They beat Graham Friday night 5-1. They play Giles tonight and Carroll Wednesday to wrap up the regular season. Strong possibility of a 7th state championship since 2014.

Graham girls are very good and have one player that really sticks out. Richlands, Tazewell & Virginia High girls are all pretty good teams too and on a normal year they could all compete for the region D championship but Graham has beaten them all handily this season, with the exception of one game against Richlands that they won 3-1 .

On the boys side, Graham and Lebanon are probably the two best teams with Honaker a tic behind. Lebanon split with Graham and swept Honaker although both games were very close. Not sure anyone has anything for Galax or Radford, but I would be surprised if anyone other than these three teams won their respective Region Titles.

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 9 minutes ago, Tigerman10 said: Not sure anyone has anything for Radford Glenvar is 12-1-1 on the season having outscored their opponents 82-10. Their only loss was 2-1 to Salem. In the regular season against Radford, Glenvar won the first match 3-0 and tied the second match 4-4 after PK's. Glenvar and Salem play tonight. IMO, Glenvar is the strongest team in 2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford is also a potential contender at 11-2-1, scoring 67 goals and allowing 13. Glenvar beat Radford once and tied 4-4 the other game. Nelson County has a good record but has played a weaker schedule than Radford and Glenvar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have played tough schedules, are exceptionally well coached and have loads of talent. Blacksburg not withstanding, Glenvar may be the best team in C/D regardless of classification. Magna Vista is 19-0 but have played a really weak schedule. They can't be overlooked but until they play someone of consequence, the jury is still out on just how good they are. I know it's Maxpreps but they are usually pretty good at separating the contenders from the pretenders with soccer rankings.

EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Region 2D Bracket 1. VA High 2. Union 4. Ridgeview 3. Marion 1. Central 2. Graham 4. Tazewell 4. Gate City I wouldn’t be surprised to see Virginia High vs. Graham in the 2D championship game. That would be interesting considering the game between the two on Monday apparently got pretty heated in the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 2 hours ago, EH31 said: Can East Mont play with Galax? I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The Pioneer is exceptionally weak. The MED has 3 teams other than Galax that could legitimately contend in the state tournament and they couldn’t hang with Galax. Galax has a new head coach that is a legacy and former NCAA All-American. This is the best team they’ve had in a few years, which is saying a lot.

BBHoops_18 206 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Anyone else think six classifications in a sport like soccer is way too much? They could probably do four. Classes 1 and 2 could easily be combined for soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
