Trust me, I have 100% confidence they'll be prepared. Who wins? No prediction from me but I'm hoping for a GMen victory!
Central (Woodstock) vs Graham
- Thread starter BullRun66
- Start date
One thing that makes me doubt Central are some of their scores. Players out or inconsistency? I would think a senior heavy team wouldn't be inconsistent like that. So theyre SoS is concerning if i were pulling for them.
I hope Central goes 3 and out every possession. I despise grind it out teams, that try to run out the clock in the first quarter.
Having HR6 on here wanting to see teams spread it and throw every down makes me think all might be alright in the world after all. He has been consistent in his quest to abolish run heavy teams, lol. I have to respect that.
And in 1a and 2a he can get his champion "G" team as well.
Several different kids plus back up QB because Meadows was out with broken hand for about a month. Actually one of those two weeks without Clements, they were short about 9 others too, almost entire special teams if I recall correctly & that was against VA High with a healthy Brody Jones at QB for the Bearcats.

Ahh, I forgot about that. HR6 does like the G teams (as long as they run the spread offense of course).
Broadway, Clarke and Luray.
What happened in the Strasburg and Luray games where they lost the first meeting and won the 2nd?
Also, i notice a few times that even the games they won they were outgained in total yardage. Are they just good at creating turnovers?
I still have to go from what i seen on video and they look solid esp on offense. Havent seen a lot on defense. Very athletic team.
I noticed they like to go deep or hit the screen in the passing game. Their FB reminds me a little of Devon Johnson that played for Richlands. Looks like theyre a solid team. Shoukd be a good game
Yes, totally fair to speculate. Obviously there can't be an excuse for every game but here are a few.
Clarke is totally fair. Central was down 14-0 before storming back. They were certainly still finding and identity at that point in the season. Came alive when it mattered.
Broadway game was pouring rain. I know cause I was there. They went up 14-0 I believe quick and once the rain hit it ceased to be a football game. Still, an eight point win over a bad Class 3 team is notably concerning.
First Luray game I 100% chalk up to three onside kick recoveries. Central scored on all four of their possessions before the 4th quarter and were still down 16. Clearly did not work the second time around.
I think Graham wins but I do think Central is quite good, and most importantly they are rolling at the right time, hence their appearance in the state title, regardless or what happened in the regular season.

Nice write up on CW! I enjoyed reading it. They seem confident & ready to go. Hope the GMen are too!
I was surprised they haven’t played on turf all season. That seems crazy to me. I guess that area of the state prefers grass fields.

Not sure how they figure the defense has only given up 14 points in the last 4 games? They've given up 41.
Buckingham - 12
Luray - 12
Strasburg - 7
Poquoson - 10

I willing to bet it was a typo because they have given up 41. At least for me 12+12+7+10=41. If I am Graham I pressure the edge with the running game from the get go and try to break one or two long ones. If you get them down by 14 in the title game never being there before it will basically be a wrap.
Nice video produced by the senior cheerleaders from Graham. These boys are making memories for a lifetime from both schools. No matter the outcome, congratulations to the Falcons and the GMen!
Very True these young men have built a brotherhood for life with their teammates and are making great memories regardless of the outcome. May the best team win tomorrow and everyone come out of it healthy. Good Luck to both teams
Luray in two games put up over 650 yards rushing on Central and it all did'nt come on 1 onside kick an 1 squib kick,I was there at both games, What killed the Bulldogs was penalties on crucial downs,Central had a hard time stopping them. 100%
Shout out to Richlands High School & Principal Ricky Vencill for feeding the GMen tonight after practice. That’s a very generous gesture by the GMen’s county rival!
That's
true. Poquoson's only TD was in garbage time. After that score, Central sent their starters back out.
So you’re saying our “bigs up front” won’t be able to handle CW? I say our boys can hold their own! Should be a great game! Go GMen!
While I would like to see Central win because I have friends with kids on the team, I find it fascinating that if they win they would get a state football title before Strasburg.
I've seen Central live twice this year and both games I was at Central started off slow, but came out in the second half like a whole new team and took control, they definitely don't want to get behind against G Men, but they don't rattle easily, well coached. Good Luck to all teams playing for titles today
They can throw, believe me, I've seen it......Sophomore quarterback Nick Barahona has thrown for 1,077 yards and 10 touchdowns. Forbes leads the team with 1,101 rushing yards and 22 scores. Senior Ben Walters has 25 catches for 435 yards and four scores, senior Luc Retrosi has 14 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns and senior Jake Boyce has 14 catches for 327 yards and four scores.
Tops-seeded Graham faces history-chasing Central Woodstock in Class 2 title game today
Dec. 10—BLUEFIELD, Va. — In spite of having one of the more recognizable names of any high school in the Commonwealth, Central-Woodstock has never won a state championship in football. If top-seeded Graham keeps playing like it has been over the last three weeks, it doesn't appear that the...
