Parry McClure beats east Montgomery 55-0 tonight

Might watch one

I don't ask many questions on here thought I do enjoy very much reading the questions asked by others and the answers from the officials. To the officials who answer our questions - thanks for taking the time to do so and help us learn about the game we enjoy very much. On to my question; I was working on the chain crew at a game last Friday night and something happened I don't believe I've seen in my 36 years on the chains. After a penalty, the official who was working our side, asked the visiting coach if he wanted the clock to start or not. Under what conditions, does a coach get to decide whether the clock starts after a penalty? Have a good one!

I think the biggest surprise to me was how tough the MB line was. As well as they played, and as fast as a couple of their backs are, I amazed that they haven’t been more competitive this year. They tackled well. Their defensive penetration was pretty good. Pass defense was not bad. Like I said, they should have been more competitive. Maybe they are just now coming together as a team?

Sadly, their fan support was abysmal. But, even sadder is the fact that the AD and/or the school Administration has let the entire season go by without repairing two poles full of lights. As an answer, they set up two light banks that shine in the eyes of whichever team is playing in that direction. Sweet Jesus, it’s Chesterfield County. The wealthiest county in central Virginia. They say they are doing good things for the kids and then they allow a situation to persist simply because someone won’t do their job? Pitiful. Don’t blame the kids for not doing what they should do when you set this example.

If the team will stay the course over the off season, Meadowbrook has the ability to be a factor again next year. I know they are moving up to Class 6, but they will still play the same seven Central District foes. I really hope to see this once proud and feared football team resurrect itself.

Central has had the Rams number over the last several years. Is this the year the Rams get a win over the Falcons. The Rams got a monkey off their back when they defeated Clarke County for the first time since 2012. Both teams like to run it a lot. They seem to be evenly matched. Opinions and Predictions on this one?

It looks like Colonial Heights and York will be battling to see who finishes 7th, and who finishes 8th. Their reward, Phoebus or Lake Taylor!!! Wow, what a reward. Talk about Trick or Treat.

First, a question: only seven of us have participated regularly but would you be interested in a playoff pick'em? First two rounds would be all games in 5C, 5D, 6C, and 6D. Regional finals through state championships would expand to include all regions in Classes 5 & 6.

On to this week's contest. For this week's Pick'em we have 7 of the 10 games featuring 14 teams that are either undefeated or have only a single loss - all going head to head. Yes, I stepped a bit beyond the normal confines of the NOVA region but this coming week has so many great matchups with huge implications for playoff seeding. The other three games in this week's contest also will significantly affect the playoff seedings. It seems the playoffs have arrived a week early! Note: Two games this week are on Saturday and one is on Thursday, so have your picks in by 7:00 pm Thursday or the Thursday game will not count for you.

Do you want to participate in a playoff pick'em? Yes or No

112-16 Final Freedom

What the holy heck? Wonder how many of those 112 were scored by JV? That’s just crazy especially on a running clock. Did Freedom run up the score or is Colgan just that bad?

Thoughts on this one? Galax is coming off possibly their best performance of the season and Grayson coming off their first loss of the season to GW. This is a huge rivalry game with big playoff implications for both teams. I think if Galax plays like they did Friday night they can get the win, regardless should be a good one

The Rams Jv team finished the season a perfect 9-0 by defeating the Falcons. It was a defensive fight the whole game. Central finishes 7-2. Great season by both squads. Talent coming to both varsity rosters in the next 2 years.

There are a lot of good players out there. Who's someone we should keep an eye out for going into the playoffs?

1 point per game. 2 points for GOTW. Bonus point for winner each week. Pick each teams score in GOTW. (not total) Tie breaker is winning percentage first then difference in points for each team. If games are on Thursday, it's your responsibility to pick before game time. If you miss games that are played on Thursday, you can still pick games for rest of the weekend. Deadline is Friday before 7pm.

This week there will be an extra bonus point for overall season leader heading into the playoffs. Games will be worth more in the playoffs and scores will continue until the the end. There will be some other classes the deeper we get into the playoffs. So, don't give up if behind and hope everyone has had fun this year!
