Bold Predictions

[Graham32]

With the regular season right around the corner. What’s your bold predictions?

[UnionGuy2017]

Graham loses more than one game (wishful thinking.)

Richlands finishes 2nd in the SWD. 
 

Ridgeview finishes 4th- 5th in the M7. 
 

Eastside wins a district title.

Bluefield beats Graham.

[Real Sasquatch]

The region D title game will not be Graham vs. Union.

(One of the 2 will make it, but not the other one).

[MMcMahon26]

Auburn makes the playoffs. Craig County wins the Pioneer district.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised with this prediction. 

I think the entire stadium drama will wear thin as the season goes on with the ridiculous scheduling and lack of support from a select group of elected officials and school personnel. Hopefully, the players and coaches use it as fuel to show up & show off. 

I wouldn’t be shocked if Graham goes anywhere from 7-3 to 10-0 regular season.

Agree.

Bluefield beats Graham

Bluefield makes it to state

Princeton wins state 

 

Quick edit, not a prediction, but Fritz coming back and being the offensive coordinator for Bluefield is HUUUUUUGE

I don't know.  I'm super confident RV doesn't finish 4-5 in the six M7 games it plays. 😂

[Fairlawncat]

2D makes it to the state title game and loses to a team in Region A not named Poquoson or King William, but from Richmond.

I guess I should have checked my grammar.. I meant to say finishes 4th-5th in the standings. 
 

Also partly threw that out there because I knew I’d get a response from you. 😂

I think Glenvar will be tough to handle. 

[Graham32]

In 2A Glenvar goes undefeated and wins it all.

[SWVAgridiron]

My prediction…. Galax folds halfway through the season. 
 

First 5 games consist of….

Glenvar

Graham

Carroll

Radford

Northside 

 

[nrv_football]

2A Glenvar makes it to the state game.

Graham loses at least 1 game regular season does not make it back to state.

1A Team from the East wins it all.

1A Mountain Empire - GW or Grayson with Giles 3rd. Galax wins 1 or 2 games.

Pioneer - Bath or Parry McCluer

Hogo - Rural Retreat

That is an 0-5 start almost guaranteed

[Football is Cool]

-5ish teams fold during the season due to numbers. 
-Eastside wins Region D 

-M7 is most competitive conference 

-One Washington county team finishes above 5-5  

-Northwood is best team in smyth county 

 

 

 

[BBHoops_18]

I don’t see Graham beating Princeton. I wouldn’t say them losing is a bold prediction.

[Liam McPoyle]

-Honaker keeps the same coach the entire season.

-Marion returns a punt!

-Chilhowie loses a game and doesn't blame the officials.

-Union transfers return to Lee and Coach Joey Carroll wins state in football*

-Rural Retreat coaches finally embrace the "Dean Rhea Way" and win the Hogo

-A Gate City fan is ostracized from the community after complimenting Chris Akers

-Central Wise** goes undefeated

-The missing page containing Union's pass plays is found in the bottom of the backpack

-Carter Creasy and Ryan O'Quinn are deemed eligible to return for a 12th season

 

 

Corrections and Clarifications 

*Coach Joey  Sheena Carroll wins state in football  Girls Track

**Central Wise (Middle School) goes undefeated

I appreciate the low-hanging fruit.  Lol.

Man, I'm on the fence about Ridgeview, I really am.  They have more variance than any team in the M7 in that they could be the biggest surprise or the biggest disappointment.  I truly believe that the M7 is sleeping on the talent that is at RV.  There are several positions where they should be the most talented in the district.  I absolutely believe their skill group is under the radar.  My hesitancy is the deployment of that talent.  IMHO they have potentially the most dominant DT in the region......IF they can get him to play there....he likes DE better.  They tend to not play their QB on defense which is a problem because this year's QB is going to be 6'3", 250 and should be a dominant DE.  They have another kid that should be a dominant DE that they will probably play at LB and I fully expect the natural CBs to play S and vice versa. 

Additionally, I don't see a better group of young WRs in the district and they have two that have plus speed.   They have a very capable group of RBs with the Deel kid being elusive and fast.  No one will argue that they will have the best kicking game in the state.....maybe at all levels.  So, you have a team with talent and skill and top end of the region speed coupled with the best special teams group in the region.  The defense will be one of the better units in the region...as they always are.  One can see how the team can be underrated.  On the other hand.....brand new QB and several new OL so you can potentially see a team that has trouble moving the ball.  They also don't have depth in many places except WR and maybe DB.
