BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 I went back and watched the 1994 playoff game between Powell Valley and Radford on YouTube. What do you guys remember about that night? It was 24-21, a great game. I think the Cats got Thomas Jones on the ground more than any high school team I’ve seen. A very good Radford team who coulda knocked off a very good PV team that would go back to back state champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,922 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 The 1994 game was the second week of the regular season, not a playoff game. I was home visiting for a few weeks and went to the game with some friends. I don't remember much about the game other than thinking I would like to see Thomas Jones and Raypheal Milton play against each other. Radford played my brothers Grayson team the following week. Radford finished that season 8-3 with 2 loses to Giles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very fast game, not a lot of passes until the very end to Zirkle that got PV in FG range. Milton was very very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd been a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 1994 Appalachia team was absolutely NASTY good, they scored like 70 in the state title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Yes, they did. Lost 30-6 in the semi's. Appy scored once per quarter. Their passing was what killed Narrows that day. Travis Turner was a freshman and threw for over 200 and 3 of their 4 scores were from pass plays. Had drives stall inside their red zone twice late to keep Narrows from getting back in it. Gave 'em a game. At least a better game than they got the next week. Including the write up from the Roanoke TImes. https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/ROA-Times/issues/1994/rt9412/941204/12070090.htm Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
