It's time for Giles to put up or shut up (not that we are really talking much) but my point is, we are going to have to win some of these 50-50 type toss up games, especially if GW/Galax,Grayson are down. We need to win tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickett 28 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Grayson has not played to their ability but they are still more athletic than anyone else in the West IMOP. Their defense will carry them again and while offense will score 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 No upset tonight. Spartans will be relying on back ups to fill some key positions due to disciplinary issues that took place this week at school. Grayson 28-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defense will carry them again and while offense will score 28 Lots of teams are athletic. That alone doesn’t guarantee anything. Grayson is missing something this season. That doesn’t mean they can’t turn things around quickly but they are doing just enough to get by right now. That’s not typically sustainable over a season. Especially come district play.

Well that's sad to hear but maybe those backups are better than the starters. 🤷♂️ you never know. I mean they are the future of the program.

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 With the talent Giles has coming up, I’m truly concerned it’s going to get wasted. To be at the top of the mountain for so many years and now be a 3 win team year after year is shameful. It’s sad that I had more fun watching the Narrows game tonight. 1Wingit23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This teams talent got wasted too. A few years ago people were high on this current class of seniors. There's a couple that started in varsity as freshman, several as sophomores, and most as juniors. This is probably the most athletic as well as experienced group that has came through Giles in years. They returned their entire backfield too and still can't win. I'm not sure how long "the talent cycle" excuse can hold up nrv_football and SWVAgridiron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrv_football 81 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Been hearing Giles has talent for years and I belive they do. Maybe a lot of the issue is the offensive and defensive lines? I mean if the blocking isn't there then even the most athletic backs will have issues without good fundamental technique and blocking. Or maybe they are not being developed in the off season by not hitting the weights? Or just pure bad coaching? Something is not right. 1Wingit23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
