Salem at GW

MrSalem1000
I think the two best running backs to come through Salem has been Peyton Lewis and Deangelo Ramsey. Peyton Lewis was faster than Deangelo was but I think Deangelo was more physical. I think Deangelo could’ve made it to the NFL. I think Peyton will play on Sundays. If he doesn’t get drafted I’m sure he will get picked up as a undrafted free agent

Hayfield back in the playoffs...maybe not

C6 Reg C all play Thur, next Tue, and then next Sat. to catch back up in the playoffs. I guess if Hayfield is still eligible they'll be playing tomorrow night. That's the story today anyway, might be completely different tomorrow?

I'd be shocked if it changes. What I believe will ultimately happen is Hayfield will win their region, maybe advance to state championship, win or don't win. After the season any wins will be vacated just like college, Overton and the admin will be gone and next years team misses playoffs as they pay the reprecussions.

Ramsey had 2300+ yards, 28 rushing TDs (I think a few receiving TDs) on nearly 12 ypc in 2017. Didn't play opener against Amherst, was sparingly used most of the season until Luke Owens got hurt in week 9 against CS and they were forced to use Ramsey. I actually remember talking to my dad when Owens went down and remarking that the injury had just won Salem state.

They gave a lot, and I mean a lot, of Ramsey's work between the 20s to Owens at the goal line or Ramsey probably has 38-40 TDs that season. Used to his full potential under different circumstances, that kid probably could have done 3500 and 45-50 TDs.

Remember talking to Robert Anderson at a Glenvar/Appo game a couple years ago, he called Ramsey Roanoke Valley's biggest "what if", said he had Sunday potential and I didn't disagree.

To date, I think Dennis Haley is the only Spartan to play in regular season NFL games. Perhaps Peyton Lewis and Chris Cole can add to that list in a few years.

glad people put respect on his name. A legendary Salem running back that people tend to forget in conversations about Salem running backs, partially because Salem has had so many greats, and partially because he played on a “bad” Salem team.

I remember "The Comeback" Cave Spring had beaten Salem 34-6 in 2010. They were looking for a repeat performance the following year. They jump out to a 26-0 lead. Salem methodically claws back, but still trail 26-7 with only a couple minutes left in the 3rd. Put the cape on #6 and he and the Spartans refused to lose, scoring 22 unanswered to complete the comeback 29-26.

Riverheads 29 Stuarts Draft 28 Final

Here we go again. Dishonest is far from what Riverheads is. We will move down and up again many more times in my lifetime and it has ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY nothing to do with dishonesty. I am not expert like Gunz on the clock issue and yes the clock operator screwed up once that I saw and if he said more I am not expert enough to know. You can take the dishonesty and stick it where the sun does not shine.

Does anyone know what the total yards are for Salems backs this year? Persinger should be way over 1000. Would love to see a top 10 list of running backs at Salem and their yards .
Marcus Parker, Marty Bishop, DLo Ramsey, Persinger brothers, Fox, Peyton Lewis, Goodpasteur, Harriston, Jo Jo Harris, Claybourne, Haley , Wood probably leaving some good ones out. Doing this from memory.
Lewis most highly recruited---does that make him number 1?

Marty Spartan Ball Bishop. He was that dude man. He single handedly almost beat Christiansburg and Magna Vista that year. People forget how good everybody was back then. It wasn’t any pushovers. Franklin County, Hidden Valley, Cave Spring, Christiansburg, Salem, Byrd, PH, Pulaski, Northside.. Mannn the Roanoke area was stacked in all sports.

I agree it’s a blessing and a curse. I also played on an 8-4 Salem team that I believe could have beat the 12-1 team I played on. I can count on one hand the solitary plays that made the difference in those four losses on the 8-4 season. Conversely on the 12-1 team, many games were close and the luck went in the opposite direction where we won. Does that make the 8-4 team a “bad” team if I could make a sound argument as to why my 12-1 team wouldn’t be able to handle some of the weapons my 8-4 team had? Certianly couldn’t say that according to the 10 game standard some people have hardlined here on this platform.

The point being, all Salem teams have the ability to go all the way in my opinion, sometimes things just go right and sometimes they don’t. There is always an element of chance that goes into these things.

I’m sure the same thing with dinwiddie. Think how a handful of plays could have changed things in a big way for a whole season. And that could be the difference between someone calling your team “bad”, “good”, or “great”. It’s just the difference in a few plays over the course of thousands all season.

Yes, I'd definitely take 2011 Salem with Marty Bishop over 2012 Salem. The 2011 Spartans hung with Brenden Motley's Christiansburg, which gave Trace McSorley's Briar Woods all they could handle.
