George Washington vs Orange
- Thread starter Mic Honcho
- Start date
Orange will be tough, especially on offense, explosive enough to score! Problem lies with the defense, thats been thier issue all season. If they could play a lick of defense they could very well be 9-1 the one being the debacle agianst Albemarle. They gave Louisa all they wanted. I see a 42- 28 GW win.
GW is a team that could very well win the region and also a team to go out like Glass. Depends on who shows up. Orange is good, Western is good, Salem and Louisa could both win the state championship. Very tough road but one game at a time.
The Foxes are on the other side of the bracket but yes. The Foxes will do a lot of damage too.
When Orange steps on the field, GW fans will wonder, "how are they always so average?" Orange has passed the "eye test" for decades in terms of size and athleticism, and looking like they can beat anyone by 40. They usually have one of the biggest, fastest, and most athletic teams in our area. It's fun just to watch their kick and punt returns, it's been a staple of theirs, and they usually return a bunch to the house. A few years ago, their O line averaged around 270 lbs and both of their RBs were over 6' 2" 230 lbs and fast.
No disrespect to Orange but I think they will also wonder wow this is a good football team we are playing and who is #42 causing havoc at the line of scrimmage. Also GW is not the same team that played against Glass in week 1. They always have weapons at every position. Orange will have to figure out how do I slow anything down! GW is very balanced on both sides of the ball. Can’t wait GO EAGLES!!!!
@Lewis918777 my point is Orange never plays how they look. They just *look* the part, but don't play like it once the game actually starts. Understand now?
Don't see Andersson letting GW take anyone lightly but Louisa may have done the Eagles a big favor if any of them were sleeping on OC.
Orange this season, and in the spring, are definitely better than they've been in a long time. Louisa had to come from behind to beat them in the spring.
It's the playoffs. EVERY opponent is worthy of your "A" game.
Orange freshman #2 WR will be a handful tonight and next 3 years, kid is legit D1 prospect. Soph RB has excellant wheels and vision, will also be a college prospect. Orange main issue, is they are young, 9 freshman on varsity, with 4-5 contributing in some fashion, Defense is the youngest and there lies the issue. They will be really good next few years, but if they fall behind they at times get down on thenselves. QB is a soark plug and best GW has seen this year. Over 1000 rushing and 1000 plus passing. The reciever is second in yards and catches in Fred area. They will fight tonight, but GW will wear them down. GW has to shoot thenselves in foot for Orange to pull heroic upset! By the way, I moved out west and son plays for Orange! Go Hornets! I still follow my beloved Cougars.
No. GW played a 4 star QB from Nation Ford and made him look avg. Kid threw 4 picks. Had 7 power 5 offers.
Thats correct, GW to talented for Oranges young defense. GW QB having great game running and throwing.
Let's not act like Orange will magically become tough on defense when they're older. Same song, different year.
Orange making a game of it in the 1st half but they need to stop GW to make a game of it 35-21 GW
Not that it matters, but I’m sure a 3.5 hour ride down to Danville also affects them. GW clearly the better team however.
35-21 GW
GW has no answer for Orange QB who is running all over them. Difference in game is horrible punt and long GW kick off to 3 yard line.

It will make a differance, not many teams have 2 freshman 4 soohs starting in defense. Younsters getting playoff experiance agianst a team like GW veey valuable and playoff tested.
They are Big but GW is just pushing them around like Rag Dolls!
GW matching up well with their size but I think Orange is just young. GW just simply the better team tonight
Orange also played Briar Woods. It didn't help.
49-21 Orange will make two good plays for stops on D, but then give up a 42 yard run. GW has had a few 3rd and 15 or 17 and easily picked up the yardage.
GW containing him but they won’t let him do too much! They seem to have that bend don’t brake attitude when it comes to a running QB
