Due to Radford’s Volleyball team making it to the State Final the game has officially been moved to Saturday.

But the time has definitely NOT been decided.

Just talked to a player that said still Friday night is what he was told today. Can't decide on time Saturday. Gretna wants 2 and Radford insists on 11. Wants Gretna to have to get up at crack of dawn and make that two hour bus ride.

Yep . Team needs to get there approximate 2 hours before kickoff. At least 2 hour ride on unpredictable interstate 81. Team needs to grab a bite of breakfast before leaving. Did I mention that they have to travel to school to catch bus. And be ready to play at 11 !!!!!! I think thats reasonable LOL.

With VT playing at home Saturday, traffic on 81 might be bad.

VHSL has the game listed as Saturday at noon.

Game is at Christiansburg now

Christiansburg high school 1pm. Blacksburg is playing there at 7 Saturday also. Brand new astro turf.

I’m just kind of stuck on why would anyone in their right mind want to kickoff at 11:00? Glad it’s not at 11, but why? I think any type of football game before noon is nuts

Blacksburg is Friday at 7

Why they move it to Christiansburg ?

 

[eastspartan]

Radford’s field is in bad shape

 

[SWVAgridiron]

Radfords field does not drain well at all. Since Gretna has more overall team speed, I think they’ll benefit more on the turf.

Probably because Radford's field is in bad shape and Christiansburg is the closest school with turf.

I agree. The change to turf should help Gretna. Not saying it's enough to beat Radford but speed kills and a turf field definitely benefits fast teams like Gretna. The question will be how Gretna's handles the defensive pressure of the Radford D-Line and blitzing Linebackers .I think it will be a good game but you just never know in the playoffs.

Radfords defense has been lights out since the Galax game. Only giving up 7 points per game. I think the offense is still a work in progress
