Central (Woodstock) vs RE. Lee
- Thread starter bullrun25
- Start date
Having seen both play Riverheads this has the makings of a great game. Both teams have speed on the offensive side, quarterback (both lefties) and receivers and defensive side, mostly same people on corners and safety from what I remember. They both have good size on the lines also. If both teams bring their "A" game this one might go to the horn. If somebody has turnovers it could get ugly pretty quick. Look forward to the game. I thinks its the game to see this week.
Although the two Riverheads scores were similar, the games were different. Lee took complete control of the game and had RHS on the ropes the entire time. Central on the other hand was a closer game that saw the Big Red on the two yard line with a chance to come to within 21-14. But as I said at the time, Lee was able to play a turnover free game and also had the bye week to prepare. So on their home field, I might have to go with Central in this one.
I agree that it will come down to execution and turnovers. I can see Central being a little bit more poised if it comes down to the wire. One thing is for sure, it will be a great choice for any neutral fan who just wants to see a good football game.

I haven't seen Lee play with exception of highlights. I do know this - Central is going to play hard smash mouth football. These boys will hit you hard play after play. Central has massive team speed and if you're a passing team they will defend it very well. #4 Bright has 12 interceptions and with #1 Clanton (Super Fast) on the other side it will be a task for teams to throw the ball. Central has several RB's that run and run hard. The O-line and D-line's are huge and are aggressive.They also have a MAN in #44 Davis at Fullback....he is a beast and makes running plays look like rugby football. They will be ready and they will play hard. I just know this will be a great game and it should be one for the ages. Best of luck to all teams still in the mix. Go Big Blue!

This above quote from the Region B matchups thread has my thoughts on this game... I'm not saying Lee will win by any means, but I do have faith that they CAN win as long as they get some breaks to go their way. That said, Central is the real deal.
Clanton is electric. I watched him walk down a Clarke RB (21) who was in the open field. Clanton ended up in front of him and saved a TD.
#1 Clanton most likely the fastest guy in the 2A playoffs. It will be a fun game to watch.

Luray ran the ball right at them and it seemed to work,Luray beat them off the ball most of the night,no doubt it was the Bulldogs best game of the year.
I knew he was fast, but I didn't realize just how fast until I saw his 80ish yard TD run vs Buffalo Gap last week. There is one RE Lee player in particular that has some wheels on him, but I think you may be right in that Clanton is likely faster than him. Here's to hoping he is able to outrun Clanton for a game-winning score for the Leemen
haha...Back to the predictions, I feel like if RE Lee wins, it will be by less than a TD; but if Central wins, any margin between 1 and 35 wouldn't surprise me.
I doubt he can keep up with Taymon Cooke from Graham. I'd almost guarantee it and I haven't seen player mentioned. Cooke is legit 4.40 or faster in the 40.
Don't know either one, but fast is fast, and difference in track fast and football fast. And it sounds like nobody in state is as fast as that kid from Blacksburg
Beck is lightning, but I’ve seen Cooke, kid can absolutely fly. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, I think he ran a 4.37 40
He must have transferred from Parry McCluer haha just kidding... for those that dont get this reference-- last year there was a big debate between some PM fans and some regulars claiming PM did/didnt have multiple players running sub 4.40 40s
.
I remember that. It’s rare to see that speed, especially west of Roanoke, but occasionally we do in swva.
Like I said difference in track fast and football fast, but if I remember correctly, the kid from Blacksburg was 2nd in NATION last year in track. It would stand to reason he hasn't gotten slower. Others in state or nation may have gotten faster though.
What is very interesting is that Blacksburg kid was 2nd, with an extremely fast time (I was decent in HS way back when, but nowhere close to that. The year before the fastest or 2nd in NATION was from VA too. He went on to Olympic qualifier, but as a senior was that fast, I believe his time was close to 1/2 second faster, which is an eternity in 100
Yep. Colton Beck (Blacksburg) and Taymon Cooke (Graham) were at the same Virginia Tech camp. Beck ran a 4.29 there and Cooke a 4.37
Cooke is just as fast on the field. So we can agree that Beck and Cooke are two of the fastest FB players in the state. Not sure Clanton is quite that fast.
Can you imagine if a HS really did have multiple players running 4.40 or faster? They could go five wide and just throw fly routes every play and never be stopped lol.
Think this one will come down to coaching and experience playing in a big game. Not too familiar with Lee. But central on the other hand has ran some head scratching plays on money downs. And central is basically playing with 20 JRs. (Which is kinda scary) But As long as central stays the course, I think they'll win in a close one. JMO
The kid from Blacksburg ran 10.5, while the kid the year before from TC Williams ran either 9.9, 10.0, 10.1 something like world class fast. Whatever it was it was one of fastest in amateur history. I can't even dream of being that fast, and think he will only get better
I pulled my hamstrings reading these posts.
This one will come down to Lee being able to keep its poise and avoid turnovers. Prior to them playing Riverheads, I had read that they had trouble holding on to the ball, sometimes having as many as four turnovers per game. But on that night, they were a well-oiled machine and played a nearly perfect game. Central was pretty much the same way the next week.
So if Lee plays that well again, they can hold their own, but if they get caught up in the moment, I could see them making mistakes and Central capitalizing and maybe even winning easily. I think Central wins a close one, but anything is possible at this stage.

Splitting hairs but Beck from Blacksburg ran a 10.41 when he won at the state meet and a 10.41 when he finished second in the country at the national meet.
I was just going off memory. Even more impressive, but think about the difference from the kid a year before, WOW
I just watched the first video clip of him on Hudl. He ran into a crowd of defenders, somehow managed to get through, and then left everyone in the dust. There is no angle you can take to catch this guy.
Just now watched a lot of video on Central. I AM IMPRESSED!!! Dan River needs to take notes on how to run the I Form (if that is what Im seeing) correctly. WOW?! THEY ARE A THREAT!!!!! Two fast RBs and a QB that can throw. If Appo gets that far....they need to be doing homework extensively to beat this team. They got the goods! Please watch all these vids on this link.

Hang in there...I am only 5 seconds off the world record in the 40
And with little chocolate donuts, you can shave off those 5 seconds and become the world class runner you were destined to be.Hang in there...I am only 5 seconds off the world record in the 40
