    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    Galax could have easily had two more scores late in the game with Honaker but called off the dogs. Honaker would have scored on Essex but they would have had to be perfect on offense to make up for that defense. Perfect as in, no turnovers and score on every possession. I don’t believe that’s...

    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    Agreed, he’s very talented. But the more Galax pounded on him, the more time he spent on the sideline. You didn’t see that with Essex.

    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    How many points did Honaker score in the 2nd half? How many times did Galax punt? Stops on defense and controlling the clock by running the football still matter. Honaker didn’t make a single stop. They wouldn’t have against Essex either.

    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    I’ll have to disagree. That Honaker defense wasn’t stopping anybody outside of 1D.

    Did it end 7-6 Galax?

    It's very possible, but Galax had 4 seniors see action in the championship game. George Wythe will also be loaded for bear next season. They return virtually everyone. Galax and GW play in the toughest Class 1 district in Virginia. They will likely have a say in the end.

    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    I remember a game 20 something years ago where the only points scored were on field goals but I'm really not certain if that's the game. I'm also thinking it could have been a game Powhatan was involved in. I'm getting old. My memory isn't what it used to be.

    No, Essex wouldn't if Riverheads were Class 2

    Jefferson Senior (Roanoke) beat Woodrow Wilson 3-0 in both 1923 and 1924. Seriously though, didn't Rustburg beat Turner Ashby is 2000 by the score of 9-6? If memory serves, neither team scored a touchdown.

    Did it end 7-6 Galax?

    Sitting in the stands, Roane gets your attention. I was glad they didn't try to get him more involved offensively. He could have been the difference on that side of the ball. Size may be limiting his D1 offers. He's not big enough to play LB in the ACC and would be a slightly undersized Safety...

    Did it end 7-6 Galax?

    Galax and Essex are so evenly matched, if they played 10 times, it might very well be 5-5 with all 10 games being decided by fewer than 3 points.

    Just my opinion. 2016 - Galax 2017 - Essex 2018 - Chilhowie 2019 - Galax 2020 - Galax 2021 - Galax 2022 - Essex

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    In fairness, it was a Riverheads “fan” that opened the enrollment door by whining about Radford having 825 students based on his Google search. Which, in and of itself, is laughable and deserving of ridicule.

    Predictions Class 1 Final Preview: Experienced Maroon Tide Hope to Change Title Game Fortunes Versus Essex

    I tease Cade at the golf course a lot. His personality is infectious. Dixon told me once about Carroll beating Galax in JV when Cade was a freshman. Dixon told Cade, remind me of this when you’re a senior and we’re drilling Carroll 40-0 to not call off the dogs. Fast forward 3 years, Galax was...

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    The one distinct difference I would suggest is more of an issue than it might seem, Giles QB is in the backfield. Which is the way modern football is played so kids today are accustomed to it. Riverheads is unique in this very basic way. Their QB is under center. It takes a bit to adjust the eye...

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    This is the comparison a group of us were making the other day. Clark and Christian are so similar. Not just on offense, but defensively as well. I think there's a lot of folks in this thread that assume the EM of today is comparable to the EM of 2010 and forget just how good that team was.
