Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this game.
Should be another good game in the series. The game will probably come down to whether the Devils can put pressure on the Richlands QB, and cover the Blues WR's and find a way to slow their passing game down. The Blues have several playmakers at wideout with a good enough running game to keep you honest, although they MAY have lost one of their running backs at Honaker ( Waldron ) that played last year and was expected to make big contributions on both O and D.
The Blues D has so far shown to be very good and a hard hitting bunch !
I really don't know much about the Devils this year except that it is GC and they are always a threat and play hard and it is never easy against them. Well coached and good athletes, plus big fan support.
Should be a big crowd to start the year off at Ernie Hicks.
I'll take the Blues by 13.
 
What does Gate City have coming back this year? How will they place that running back they had last year? What is he doing after high school?
 
I've heard ACL....

That's what I have heard also, but not 100% sure just yet. If it is true, it will hurt some on offence, but I think it may hurt more on D. But, the blues are fairly deep this year so hopefully we can absorb this injury, but certainly can't afford many more.
I feel really bad for Waldron. He's a good kid and this was his Sr year and with a team that has a lot of potential to make a deep run.........again.
 
Just got some new info on Waldron. He is at VT seeing one of their Dr's and it looks like it is a slight ACL tear, but will not need surgery. He is being fitted with a brace and will have some rehab and may be back around mid season.
Good news for the young man ! You hate to see any of these young athletes get hurt and maybe loose a season, but it especially hurts when it is their Sr season.
So it looks like he will be back and able to play this year !

Richlands won this game 42 to 7. it was 42 to 7 at the half and the Blues starters only played the first series in the 2nd half and then cleared the bench.
It's gonna be one heck of a game next week between Richlands and Union !
