Essex and GW was my preseason state championship prediction and I'm sticking with that. Rye Cove is indeed a tough team too and they'll give anyone trouble out westYou left out GW. Guarantee you that you haven't seen the last of them. I hear similar things about Galax last year. GW if they stay healthy, will win the west and the GW team that arrives in Salem will have a very reasonable chance of winning the game. The one team in the West thst could cause problems is Rye Cove. Their good.
We take for granted the success of programs or even just the consistency.That's unreal! Since the Salem Spartans have a huge game against William Fleming this weekend. I don't think they are going to lose, but if they do it will be the first time they have lost two of their first three games since 2002. That is also incredible. Kudos to these teams who have maintained such a fantastic winning tradition. Good stuff @CRF4Dan .
I’d be interested to see what they do with #3 Hence, the current QB, when Bundy returns. He’s got both speed and power.I believe I saw in the paper a couple weeks ago that Steward is 6’3” 225lbs. Just got the local paper for today and saw that vs. 4A Jamestown, he had 16 carries for 209 yards and 1 TD, and 163 yards came during the 1st Q. Speed back Holmes had 14 carries for 162 yards and 5 TDs. When Bundy returns from injury, and with an O line averaging about 297 lbs from Tackle to Tackle ( all can move ) and TEs at 6’4” 210 lbs. & 225 lbs. that's going to be a mean 3 headed monster coming out the backfield for defenses to deal with…along with other capable RBs. On the other side of the ball, Essex D is solid again this year.
