C and D power points week 9
- Thread starter hawknation92
- Start date
Union has 194 pts. They will get 30 pts if they defeat Abingdon and 28 pts if they defeat John Battle. That gives them 252 pts.
They would receive 2 pts each for Lee/Battle, Central/GC, and Abingdon and Lee for a total of 258 pts.
They can get 4 pts if Burton defeats Rye Cove and Thomas walker. That would make 262
They can get 2 pts if Richlands defeats Lebanon. That makes 264.
They can get 2 pts if Ridgeview defeats Honaker. That makes 266.
In order to get to 274 the following would have to happen.
Richlands over Va High
Ridgeview over Pike Central, Ky
Letcher over Floyd Co, Ky
Mo West over Knox Bearden
Letcher isn't going to win barring a miracle. The other 3 are toss-ups.
I know absolutely nothing about Fort Chiswell other than there defense is very, very good from what I've read, and their offense is plain vanilla and the fans are unhappy with their OC. Based on that, it's a bad matchup for Fort Chiswell. Graham is going to get the usual 21 points from speed-athleticism-explosive plays from 50, 70, 90 yards, etc. Assuming Graham does not drive the field once, they still are going to get 21 points from the above, or a kickoff-punt return, etc. With Fort Chiswell's offense, they are in a mess against Graham which has a wickedly fast and very, very hard hitting defense. I don't think this game is close, going only by looking at Fort Chiswell's scores and competition and seeing Graham 2 times in the regular season, 1 time on the net and 1 time in person against Richlands.
Graham 31-Fort Chiswell-10
Only my thoughts and opinions above. Best of luck to both teams to stay injury free for the game so they can be 100% come playoff time.

M-ville hired a good coach and good coaches take some time to adjust, but what you hope for is improvement from game 1 to the end of the season. By looking at M-Villes scores and reading comments on this board, it looks like that is exactly what has happened. That's the sign of a good coach, and to go with it, Martinsville has always had talent. A team back that way that is similar this season is Galax. They seemed to have ramped it up from game 1 until present. Most teams improve from game 1 to game 10, but some seems improve at a rate far more rapid than others. It looks like Martinsville and Galax and Giles are 3 examples. I think RE Lee is an example in the East, and Southampton is an example here in the far East. The one thing in common with all of these teams.....Martinsville, Galax, Giles, Southampton, RE Lee (they have very good athletes and are very well coached).
For Glenvar it probably comes down to Cave Spring/Cburg AND Cave Spring/Hidden Valley, both very winnable games.If CS wins out then Glenvar gets back to #1, if not it will be Appo by a slim margin assuming Buckingham wins at least one. Giles doesn't have enough horses left in the game to get to 2/3 without Glenvar or Appo losing.

Giles is no worse then 3. Barring losing to alleghany. Word says Giles is no worse then 260 pts. If cburg and hidden valley beats cave spring then Giles gets to 262. Dunno if Glenvar can get that low. Prob like most say. Redford would have to beat them !
Giles stays at #3 unless Glenvar loses. If they had beat Graham they would be #1. Doesn't seem fair but an OT loss to a great team doesn't count for anything.
First I'd like to thank all the guru's and geniuses that figure all this stuff out. Too complicated for me. But, Say Dan River beats both Martinsville and Gretna - what seed will they likely end up and who will they likely play.
Apparently GW-GC and Martinsville- DR could also play a part in determining #1 seed Appointment or Glenvar
If Appo's and Glenvar's most probable scenarios, plays out, Glenvar will have 12 more rider points.to Appos 8. They need to out point Appo by 6 points over the next two weeks so they need one upset of either CS victory over HV,, a Martinsville win over DR or GC win over GW. That is assuming no other big surprises.. That is the way I see it but happy to learn from anyone with another insight.. . .

That's pretty much the way it is. I had GC over GW in my prediction giving it to Glenvar but it could easily go other way. Just think Glenvar has better chances to get the points needed with closer competition games for rider points. Only close game I think Appo could pick up extra is Buckingham Prince Edward that I went with PE because of record. Don't think Rustburg can pick any up for Appo with two strong remaining teams left on their schedule and after Appo plays Colonial Heights this week CH plays power house Dinwiddie. I gave Appo Heritage two wins but they playing good teams in Amherst and Jefferson Forrest that wouldn't be big upsets if Heritage lost one of those. Just think Glenvar has more of a chance to gain more than 12 rider points and Appo has bigger chance of losing some of them 8 rider points.
I agree. Of all the close "toss up" games, Glenvar only needs 1 or maybe 2 but and Appo needs all the rest to fall their way. if the teams that are likely or heavily favored actually win..
Come on people , don't sweat it so much , the raiders love playing on the road and most certainly in Salem , isn't that where glenvar is right !! No problem
I for one would like to have another shot at Appo. To be the best u have to beat the best and right now they are.
No one is sweating it. It's just fun trying to predict it. It's like playing the roulette wheel and then seeing where it ends up and how close you were. I think Glenvar plays better on the road anyway. Less distractions.
We are not really in Salem other than using the same post office. We are in Southern Roanoke County.
Agreed ! Intrins umpired a state quarterfinals baseball tournament game a few years back at glenvar ! It will end up close in points at the end of year ! Hurts Appo having fuma on schedule no points for that game but know one wanted to play them after Amherst dropped them ! Think they will be prepared for whatever they have to do or go !!
The trip down last year sucked. It took over 8 hours to get there with all the wrecks. If u remember the game even had to be delayed because fans, band, cheerleaders could not even get there. Most fans still did not arrive till half-time. The trip back was almost as bad with accidents. Hoping if we come back will be much better lol.
That's 81 for ya! You can count on wrecks just like death and taxes.
I-81...one of the major North-South truck routes in the USA and outside of a relative few miles in its long length the Commonwealth of Virginia has kept it 4 lanes.
I live right above I-81 (on the North side) less than a ½ mile just SW of Marion. I have a perfect view of southbound and northbound. It's busy 24/7/365 and if there is any construction (which is always) I've seen traffic backed up for miles. Throw in the inevitable wrecks and it becomes a nightmare...and that's here in sleepy little ole Smyth County.
The saving grace is US11 (Lee HWY) runs parallel so us locals can often avoid the mess until GPS tells drivers oh just jump off here and go around. Then the Lee HWY becomes FUBAR'ed.
Luckily there are several backways around the 'hood.
And 81 won't get widened anytime soon because it doesn't run through Richmond, where the powers that be make the decisions are.I-81...one of the major North-South truck routes in the USA and outside of a relative few miles in its long length the Commonwealth of Virginia has kept it 4 lanes.

Use to have to travel 81 from Roanoke to Marion and back all the time. It is a nightmare. Probably most used semi road in state. Alot of steep hills and use to get aggrevated when the big truck going 50 decides to pull out and pass the other big truck going 48. Just to find out after mile or two he didn't have enough to pass other truck. So you go from 65-70 to a crawl and traffic gets backed up and irritated and that's usually where the wrecks occur.
Or NOVA...and lets not forget the wacky North is South and South is North puzzle of the I-81/I77 interchanges in Wythe County (Wytheville and Fort Chiswell). I could be a rich man if I charged $1 to explain to folks when they get to Marion that they're they headed to Tennessee not Charlotte.
That one even has its own Wikipedia page.
Ayup...at least we're far enough South that normally the VT game traffic out of Blacksburg doesn't hit us that bad.
Race weekend in Bristol though is an uber nightmare. Usually starting the Wednesday before and then the day after the race(s).
Traffic sucks all the way back into Big Stone on race weekend, US23 can be hectic from Big Stone to the TN line, all three ways into Bristol are miserable (23 to 11W, Wadlow Gap or going thru Coeburn toward Abingdon).
I’m only seeing one loss for Giles.
