hoard 18 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 One thing that should work in Riverheads' favor is their offensive style of play. That under-center, two TE Wing-T is a rarity these days and I'm sure it's tough to prepare for in a week. I've always rooted against them because I hated seeing them dominate smaller schools in Class 1 but I hope they make the Class 2 final. It would be an interesting game against Radford, Union or Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 They have had 2a numbers for the past 10 years this is not shocking they are competitive in the 2a playoffs. It's extremely sad they petitioned to play down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think because of the name on the front of the jersey, you deserve to be state-competitive at every sport?

It would be an interesting game against Radford, Union or Graham. While Riverheads is not there yet, one more game to go, Uncle Percy says probably Riverheads against these 3. Redford will be out coached, they will out physical Union, and Graham is the wild card. Graham outcome will depend on how many penalties, especially unsportsmanlike, they get whistled for and if they can contain Graham’s speed.

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 For state title winners, we often see a super senior at the helm, an elite type player thst just dominates and has D1 offers. This favors Riverheads and Graham and Radford and not Union and not Poquoson. The thing is, I think Union is as good or better than all of em, but historically going by odds, this goes against Union. So many times, an Appo team with Scruggs or Trey Lawing or Graham with the Defensive stud who had D1 offers last year or Graham with Cam Allen in 2018 or King William with Claiborne. We see the picture over and over. This year, 3 seniors with D1 offers in Clark from Radford, Clements from Graham, and Cash from Riverheads. With all of the above written, I think Union wins the state championship.

No Grundy or Rural Retreat. Honest question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question. Definitely better off getting away from Grundy, but overall competition might not get easier because Poquoson has like 10 titles and Strasburg has about 5. But, anytime you can get away from Grundy, you are in good shape. I still think Poquoson and Strasburg will kind of form that 2 team hump for Riverheads like Grundy and Rural Retreat has in Class 1. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 We will see, I see this group having legit chance at 3 individual titles but likely not enough depth this year for a team title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 And for clarity as a wrestling parent, I am not thrilled about not being against Grundy. They are the standard so that’s who you want to compete against. EH31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokie Bound 107 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not being a smarta$$ but it is actually 25%. 2A is really competitive this year. Its going to be interesting with no clear cut favorite.

Westisthebest 88 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 If i had to choose now I'd give them a 50/50 shot. Id guess they wont have much trouble with poquoson. Thats a bit of a guess tho as theres not much film on them. But wat little video ive watched they dont look as strong as some lead on. They do have a nice RB combo. One that has really good speed and change of direction and the other more of a bruiser type. Id say its Riverheads and Radford. If neither have a bad game id go with Radford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
