(1) Appomattox vs. (1) Stuarts Draft 4:30 at Salem
- Thread starter Gunz41
- Start date
That is what i have understood, however somebody has told me the wife of an Appo coach said Appo is home team at salem. Sooo unless there is a regional agreement otherwise i say Appo is not home team. Would like to find the rule that breaks this all down.
Can you speak up i'm old and dont hear too well.
The 1A and 2A championships will be the best games this year. The Watkins kid for Draft looks real good. If Draft can stop Appo’s run game (which is the best I’ve seen this year across the board) then it’ll be real interesting!
Not unless something has changed. Every other year has been highest power point. I know its actually written somewhere as well, but not looking it up
I don’t know if anyone can stop them. Limit them maybe but they are a pretty damned good team with a pile of athletes. And for my money I count the short passing game as a de facto run play as well. If they can hit that a few times and get in space it’s going to be a long day. Draft is fairly quick sideline to sideline so it has to hit quick then get north/south. I know all about how fast all these players from Appo are but poor ole draft has a couple that can pickem up and putem down too. Not as many for sure but a couple. Time will tell and pay no kind to the Hornet fan in the back. He is just loud and right most of the time, lol.
Union runs the double tight T. Some call it a dead T, flat T or fullhouse backfield. All 3 backs side by side, behind the QB, parallel to the line.
Wing T typically has one back behind QB with the other 2 just behind each tight end.
Tucking this post away.... i will talk to u again Saturday
Supposedly the oldest formation invented and allegedly predates the single wing.
As much as I would like to see a double championship for the county, I have to say that if Appo has anywhere close to the team they had a few years ago, they will be too tough for the Cougars to handle. I think their experience with having been there before will keep them focused whereas SD could easily get caught up in the nerves and the hype of the whole thing.
Sometimes that experience just creates more pressure to live up to expectations ♂️
i think SD made a statement this past weekend
As for the team from Greenville..1A is their world and everyone else is just in it

Trevor , are you going to Salem? Rain and my ole tractor on 81 is not a good combo! Lookin for a ride ?
@Trevor_Cash, I will pay for shipping costs if you can delivery Xcross to Salem.
I remember back in 2015 when it was Appo against Clarke, it ended up being 75 degrees and sunny!
It was a beautiful day to draw a crowd.
Last two times we were there it was COLD!!!!!!!

I do need a ride and someone to buy me a ticket to get in ! Oh and concessions !
I got you, no questions asked and will even take you out to eat between games. Where you want me to pick you up?
Appalachia ran the T a lot too at different times. I'm not the biggest fan if you've got athletes at the skill positions because it's a very tight formation and doesn't create much space but it does create the misdirection effect and always creates lead blockers.
When Union played you guys in 2017, it wasn't a T. It was more Wildcat style with Mitchell playing de facto QB taking shotgun snaps and lost of motion for sweeps.
Weather looks better now. Rain ends by Saturday am. Doesn’t return till Saturday night.
This will be a great game and just like last week with Appomattox/Graham game - it will be won on the field - not in a forum. Two great schools, two great coaches - and players hungry to win. Appomattox will be focused and fired up.
Thanks just looked at my phone and chance of rain is down to 20 percent from 70 earlier today.
Man you have no idea how many bubbles you just burst!! Everybody knows the armchair quarterbacks win or lose every game played. lol
Or in my case lose a bunch of games from the cozy confines of my recliner, brother. Good to see the weather starting to act better. Don’t think it would effect any of the teams that have made it this far but you never want that variable if you can avoid it.
Pick me up on the right just past Marlbrook Church , Rt. 11 South 10;30 am , Thanks
I’m sure emotions will be high for both teams trying to carve out space in their respective history. Full confidence in Coach Smith and staff for game plan. Congrats to both teams for making it to the “‘Ship”! While little consolation to the loser being one of the last two teams playing football in all of 2A is indicative of a great season. Good Luck and Safe travels to Draft.
