Stunning. I honestly did not realize just how good Galax was until today. You have to be good to beat Riverheads. But to hold them to 6 points? Wow. To shut down their run game and force them to throw it?? Unbelievable
Props to both schools on a game well played. And congratulations to the Maroon Tide for getting a football title to go along with that futbol title from last year.
The call to go for 2 was the right call IMO. Riverheads had all the momentum and we've grown very accustomed to seeing the Gladiators pick up a few yards with the greatest of ease. Casto put his faith in his team and let the chips fall where they may.
You would have kicked a field goal instead of a TD? Are you nuts?I would have kicked FG, but Casto is a great coach so I can't second guess him
Yes I would have, instead of going for 2, not sure where the TD came from in post, Congratulations to both teams. Galax beat both front runners imo, very impressiveYou would have kicked a field goal instead of a TD? Are you nuts?
44 has a motor and went both ways...as for Harris. ..he was not as good as I watched earlier this year...something was not 100%...why in the world take him out at the 5 yrds line...galax scores if he stays in...instead it left the door open and almost bit them...sit beside a former galax coach and player...everyone was nervousThe oline and dline for Galax was difference, but player of the game has to go to Spurlin #44, bet he had 20 stops on defense today and a crucial stop on 4th and two that prevented a score late in 4th. In my opinion Spurlin is 1A defensive player of year and Harris 1A offensive player of year.
Harris hasn't been hitting the hole like he should lately and he has been bothered by a bad ankle, Peoples hits the hole harder but he doesn't have the body yet but he is working hard in the weight room and should be a force next year. As for people being nervous I was about to toss my cookies!!!44 has a motor and went both ways...as for Harris. ..he was not as good as I watched earlier this year...something was not 100%...why in the world take him out at the 5 yrds line...galax scores if he stays in...instead it left the door open and almost bit them...sit beside a former galax coach and player...everyone was nervous
The poster said he would have kicked a field goal. I assume he means pat and not field goal.Yes I would have, instead of going for 2, not sure where the TD came from in post, Congratulations to both teams. Galax beat both front runners imo, very impressive
Harris is senior, Peoples is a sophmoreActually I think that poster is referring to Galax's decision not to kick a field goal and go up 10-0 when they were facing the 4th and 1 at the four-yard line in the third quarter. But I just read something that is an even bigger question.......Are you people telling us that Harris is NOT a senior and that he will be back next year????????????? Say it isn't so! In the post-game interview, he looked like he could pass for 25!!!!
