I think the Gmen may be the best 2a team this side of Roanoke they had Richland's down by 21 in the first quarter. Fort has got a improving Grayson this week before they can worry about graham one week at a time. They were tired last night 3 games in 12 days will do that.
Fort it is a good football team but I don't think they can match up against Graham's skill players and I don't see them pulling one out against Graham. I didn't see them beating Galax either and we all know how that turned out. Fort is easily the most improved team this year!!
Not much. FC is improved, but Graham is the best High School 2A team I have seen this year. They are faster than Appointment or Dan River. It took the final minute and a few seconds for them to beat us at Giles, but objectively looking at both teams, Graham is much better. I don't know about the East, but I think Graham is the best team in the West. I think they come out on top of Appo, Dan River, Richland, Union, and Giles. I actually don't see them losing even if on the road at Appo or any of the teams above if it were the case.
Anything can happen and the above is just one guys opinion. Graham could lose the first round by 21 points or win by 21. Only time will tell. I will tell you this....you do not want to draw them in the playoffs. What makes them unique from the past Giles or Richlands teams in recent past is their ability to easily run it and throw it. Put 8 in the box and they have about 4-5 guys with blazing speed that run by the defense for easy pass receptions. Play coverage and they have arguably the best 2A back in the state plus 2-3 other guys that can house it on any play. Added to the above, their defense is very fast and they can stack the box because of their ability to play man in the secondary.
Graham beat them 60-0 last year in fort chiswell. Graham is way better this year. What do you think? If fort is 80 points better than last year you might have a chance.
I don't think they will win by 50 or 80. I see graham winning this game like 46 to 14. There defense is starting to play a lot better. Still not able to contain there speed and size of graham. If they can limit the big plays they will stay within 3 tds
If Graham shows up and plays without turnovers it will get nasty quick. They remind me of Altavista about 3 years ago. Speed everywhere. But Fort better get ready for Grayson first.
