    NFHS coverage is a joke

    This is 100% on the schools. Some schools have great camera action. Others, not so much. The schools have to take the initiate to contact NFHS and work to calibrate the cameras. Some schools don't clean the cameras or they have them behind the glass of the press box which creates cloudy images...

    2A Football Race

    Correct. Lee went for the 2pt conversion at the end of the game, didn't get it. Dropped from a possible 3rd place to 6th. That was a big point!

    C D Points

    If both Radford and Graham go 10-0, Radford will be well ahead in PPs. It would take many upsets for Graham to catch up. Radford will finish somewhere around 290 and Graham around 280.

    I read somewhere that the Dogwood denied their request to join.

    Graham 42-28 with 1/2 of a QB. Its different in Bluefield

    I'd have to agree. The 2015 team was very good, but the 2016 one was nearly flawless.

    Graham 42-28 with 1/2 of a QB. Its different in Bluefield

    Excerpt from NA... Smith said he’ll question where the kickoffs went for “a long time, but I also feel like our guys know that we believe in them, no matter who they have on the other team. We’re going to give everything we’ve got to stop them.” Excerpt from BHC... Smith explained the...

    Graham 42-28 with 1/2 of a QB. Its different in Bluefield

    Just read articles about the game from BHC and News & Advance. It would seem that Coach Smith did indeed kick to Bradshaw intentionally. Not sure why though.

    Appomattox vs Graham

    You mentioning a parking lot reminded me of an article on Jim Riggs, the football coach of now closed Appalachia HS from the late '60s and early '70s. An excerpt from that article.... He held practices on a gravel parking lot to enhance his team’s fearsome reputation. Virginia Tech recruiter...

    King William/Nottoway not on NFHS

    Exactly. And that equates to roughly $1.10 per month, per subscriber that designates a particular school. I could watch every NFHS event for Stuart's Draft, but they're not my designated school, so they get nothing from my views. It's true that the diehard fans will be in the stands, but who...

    G-Men vs. Bears.

    Graham is the overall #1 seed in D. If anyone but them is the Reg D champ, they will be traveling to C.

    Class 2 State Cross Country Championships

    Elbowing all those old ladies in turn 1, on the way to the stands, makes a man out of you! That's not counting all the little kids with blankets you have to kick out of the way too. 😁

    UPSET ALERT?! Ridgeview at Richlands

    And the QB is just a freshman. They have several good receivers too, with speed. If they only had a run game to go with it...

    IF we still had East/West 16 team playoffs

    Good read. I've had some of the same thoughts, although I eliminated a few because of subjectivity. Number of returning players might impact a 14-1, state runner up team, coming into the next season, but would probably mean very little to an 0-10 team. Science Hill, TN has 30 seniors on this...

    IF we still had East/West 16 team playoffs

    All this talk has me curious too! I'm perfectly fine with our current system until something can be proven better. I think we can come up with something better, but it would take a lot of work and trial and error. I would envision something that doesn't take into account margin of victory or...

    IF we still had East/West 16 team playoffs

    It could be one in the same. Nothing would ever be 100% correct, but if we found a system that truly rates a team, then, in theory, those ratings would be able to predict the winners of games.

    IF we still had East/West 16 team playoffs

    Not talking about subjectivity either. It would be a ratings system, purely mathematical, using an algorithm. May work on that over the off-season, but doubt I would share it with the VHSL. Haha

    IF we still had East/West 16 team playoffs

    I wasn't actually referring to powerpoints at all, but what is considered a quality victory. I'm talking about a rating system that takes in to account more than class and wins. Just because a team is 9-0 or 6A doesn't make them good. I used the comparison of Blacksburg and Riverheads because...
