Riverheads 35. Galax 6At the beginning of the playoffs Cal preps prediction was Riverheads win by 17 points. Galax were the closest ones out of all the teams in 1a. Let's hear your thoughts. I think Riverheads win 31-14
Galax is better this year than the 2016 team.Is this Galax team as good as the 2016 team, or better? Big Red is about equal as their 2016 team, and they beat the brakes off Galax in 2016
I've watched every game and I'll disagreeBased on yesterday’s performance, I don’t see any drastic improvements from the 2018 Galax team. So as much as I hate to see it, Riverheads 42-10.
I've watched every game and I'll disagree
triple hhh I think u have hit your head to many times in wrestling ring, but u have a good taste with your nfl team, even though they need a dumpster fire with all there coachesRiverheads wins by 21
You are correct, Coach Dixon finally figured out that we needed more balance game plan to get over the hump, finally have a good passing game to compliment our running game, I personally think this is the best team Coach Dixon has ever fielded.....yes even better than the team that best Riverheads, and better than the team that was undefeated at the time and got beat by Clintwood......but that's just my opinion, time will tell.I've watched Riverheads and Galax each twice this season. Something different about this Maroon Tide team this season. They arent just a run til you stop it team. They have weapons all over the field and their defense is fast and very physical. I have no dog in the fight but if Galax brings their A game, they win this game.
Good thing is that this isn't 2016 when they beats the brakes off of Galax, it's also not 2015 when we beat them in the title game to ruin there undefeated season.....this is 2019.Is this Galax team as good as the 2016 team, or better? Big Red is about equal as their 2016 team, and they beat the brakes off Galax in 2016
points scored are almost dead even like u said, rhs 679 to 141, 4 playoff games 206 to 21, galax 677 to 187, 4 playoff games 205 to 43, and glenvar only common opponent, rhs 38 to 21, and galax 32 to 29, but both games earlier in the season, both teams are playing much better and are rolling, I think it will be a close game and will be a chess match between 2 very good coaching staffs, GO BIG REDRiverheads can be beat, Galax done proved that, but I also seen Riverheads come into our house the following year and beat the brakes off of us.i personally think this game will come down to what Galax team shows up, if we come out and make unnecessary penalties then we will more than likely get our ass handed to us, if we keep the mistakes to a bare minimum we can pull this off. Both teams are almost dead even in the points scored and points allowed category, only common opponent this year was Glenvar, which both teams beat.....that's about the only measuring stick I can see to gage these two teams, hopefully it will be a close game...... Roll Tide Roll !
Not that it really matters on the common opponent, but we did have to travel to Glenvar, and they was super pump up to show off there new field for the first time, and Riverheads did get home field advantage in that match up..... in the infamous words of Ric Flair to be the best, you got to beat the best, and clearly Riverheads have proven over the years they are the best, and the team to beat......I'm really looking forward to this matchup...... Roll Tide Roll!!!points scored are almost dead even like u said, rhs 679 to 141, 4 playoff games 206 to 21, galax 677 to 187, 4 playoff games 205 to 43, and glenvar only common opponent, rhs 38 to 21, and galax 32 to 29, but both games earlier in the season, both teams are playing much better and are rolling, I think it will be a close game and will be a chess match between 2 very good coaching staffs, GO BIG RED
IMO Riverheads has played a much tougher schedule than Galax so the points for an against are a mute point. What I have seen in 1A and 2A football offenses that try to do too much dont do anything great. If they dont have an identity they struggle against good defenses. Against subpar opponents everything works but its a different story when you go up against a very good defense. Just ask Sussex and Essex. Dont know if Riverheads defense can slow down Galax saturday but I will be surprised if Galax can stop our offense. May be another 2010 title game.points scored are almost dead even like u said, rhs 679 to 141, 4 playoff games 206 to 21, galax 677 to 187, 4 playoff games 205 to 43, and glenvar only common opponent, rhs 38 to 21, and galax 32 to 29, but both games earlier in the season, both teams are playing much better and are rolling, I think it will be a close game and will be a chess match between 2 very good coaching staffs, GO BIG RED

I have to disagree with that. Riverheads played three 3A, five 2A and one of the 2A is playing for the state championships. Galax district schedule is really weak IMO. They played 2 good times all year and lost one and was lucky to win the other.the best team either team player was Northside, and that was Galax.
Riverheads played Glenvar, at East Rock and at Draft. Galax played at Glenvar, at Northside and at GW. The schedules are very similar. Neither team player a much tougher schedule than the other.

Wasn't luck....Galax should've have won that game by a larger margin but hurt themselves with early season mistakesI have to disagree with that.

Bottom line is shoud’ve but didnt. We should’ve beat Altavista a couple years ago but didnt. We should’ve lost to William Campbell in 06 but we got lucky and won and went on to win our 3rd championship when should not have been there. I could shoulda, woulda, coulda all day. Bottom line is the final score is what it is.Wasn't luck....Galax should've have won that game by a larger margin but hurt themselves with early season mistakes
So how does the final score mean we were lucky to win??? Were you there to see all the lucky plays we had to get the lucky win??? Think what you want but beating Glenvar definitely wasn't luck.Bottom line is shoud’ve but didnt. We should’ve beat Altavista a couple years ago but didnt.

Maybe the word luck wasnt the right word should have said the game could have went either way.So how does the final score mean we were lucky to win??? Were you there to see all the lucky plays we had to get the lucky win??? Think what you want but beating Glenvar definitely wasn't luck.
Outstanding until that one play Saturday lol.How has the Galax pass D been this year?
Riverheads JV team wins over GW. fromwhat I watched on YouTube. jmothe best team either team player was Northside, and that was Galax.

one of the many running backs broke the school rushing record on that 90 yard run on sat, and needs 2 tds to break the season td record, but I am sure he wants a win on sat and if he gets the record he gets it and if not he has next year, and he will break the all time td record next year, GO BIG REDRiverheads has sooooo many weapons that Galax will have great difficulty deciding where to key their defense. We have at least six running backs who can (and have) scored from anywhere on the field, including one who has scored as many as six touchdowns in a game. One of our top fullbacks has been moved to another position and if he were to be activated, that would give the Big Red not one, not two, but THREE quality fullbacks. We have a top notch receiver who can catch anything that is thrown near him and we have two quarterbacks (brothers in fact) who can get the ball to him. On defense we have improved by leaps and bounds, especially on pass defense and very few teams can get to the corners when running the ball. But most importantly we have tradition and we have a coaching staff that prepares themselves and the players like you wouldn't believe.
For Galax to win, it will simply have to be a case of them being the better team, one that could beat Riverheads any time on any field. The Gladiators will show up prepared and focused and with all those weapons I have just listed at their disposal. If they lose it will not be due to their own lack of effort.
Its great they have a lot of weapons, but last I checked only 11 played at any given time and only 1 can carry the ball. Our boys deserve to win as much as any team and will come just as prepared and just as focused. They know everybody’s wrote them off but they won’t back down from anyone. And just like your boys if ours lose it won’t be because of lack of effort either.Riverheads has sooooo many weapons that Galax will have great difficulty deciding where to key their defense.

Hopefully they won't get there and lay an egg like Chilhowie has the past few years. Galax yesterday did alot of things out of character in that game yesterday like Chilhowie did in the championship game. They both abandoned the pass game when it got tough. Cannot do that. Riverheads will stack the box and dominate. Riverheads was by far the dominant team both years but chilhowie did themselves no favors. It was a good game going into the second half. It was just a one score game last year at the half I believe.
One game does not represent the whole body of work. The game I saw yesterday is not the Galax I have watched on YouTube this year. If Galax plays like that next week it will be a repeat of the past two years.
