GL-45 GW-20 7:46 4th Q 51 yard pass they are just simply out playing us this is a mix between RH and Rad from last season. GW is playing the worst game that I've ever seen no bs lol But not taking anything away from the champs they are FOR REAL! Again
I wasn't able to come to the game but at this point it sounds like watching Battle at Bristol all over again.
They just beat us at all aspects of the game. And got way out coached Galax ran the same play all night.
Congrats Galax! Played a near flawless game.
The Tide OLine just flat out folded our DLine back like broken lawn chairs. That was pretty much the story of the game from my perspective.

Yeah that's pretty accurate loyal they just came ready and GW thought "oh we're GW they will lay down" WRONG!
No doubt the better team won not saying they didn't. But imo the kids didn't look ready they didn't get up at any point. And Galax ran the same play almost every time and we couldn't stop it. Plus GW fumbles the 1st punt 1st kickoff and snapped it over Deacons head on the 1 yard line we didn't do much to help our self.
Again Galax won they are the better team tonight not taking anything away from them. But GW looked horrible tonight the ball was on the ground all night Deacon was having to pick the snaps up.
They could run the same play because they kept whipping us up front.
Sure, we had miscues and some kids out, but tonight, at least, none of that would have mattered.
Credit to them. They just outplayed the hell outta us. No excuses.

I completely agree we had nothing for them up front. That what I mean by they ran the same play. I would have to with the way our line was being abused is the right word.
It sounds like gw can't stop the run they won't last long in November all the top dogs in the east can tote the rock. And this loss will surely send them to the east if they make it to the third round good luck. Excuses only satisfy the maker

Like Ric Flair use to say " To be the man you gotta beat the man" and Galax is still the man till someone in 1a knocks them off
Galax finally showed up and played more like they're capable of playing, especially up front. I don't know if they just needed a big game to get the fire lit or what but they were definitely the better team tonight. GW definitely didn't live up to all the hype, no where near the team I thought they would be. They may have had an off night but they were dominated in the trenches. Don't mean any disrespect by any of that just calling it like I seen it. Good luck to GW the rest of the way.
I will say that GW is better than they looked tonight. Again not taking anything away from Galax they put played us all night. But we just looked like death in Maroon.
And I've said it before I'll say it again. GW only gets batter after a loss look at Radford last year. Smashed us all night everyone said oh they are garbage. And we only got better. MT said if GW would've beat them maybe that's what they need now I'm saying the same GW needed a good beating.
We all have said it.Good teams can make other teams look bad.If Dixon had been coaching GW. They would have won big. They are huge with good speed.
I wouldnt call them overrated. Every team has their night of flaws the entire game. Tonight was GW's. Us Maroon fans will talk a big hype because of what we see from week to week and the fact that a few of us on here have coached these kids. Heck when Blaster and I played we were talked up by all the major newspapers because of the QB we had returning and the fact that we had a big offensive line. We had our flaws the first 4 games and lost all of by 3 points or less. Dixon had them boys prepared for their size and strength and they beat GW with at their own game. Just remember last years team. Get whooped by Radford in the first game and beat them when it mattered. Will Galax have a game like GW did tonight? Certainly. The biggest test Galax has this season other than Graham will be Narrows. No one expected Narrows to hang with Giles and they did what they could for as long as they could. The season is still long and they will start Monday at 0-0. Prepare for Honaker and continue to make positive statements. Good job to Dixon and the Maroon Tide. Good luck on the rest of their season.
Galax was the better team but I beg of anyone who thinks we are "overrated" please sleep on us. And you will look up to 63-0 by half yes we got our ass beat tonight but GW is still one of the top dogs in this fight. Again last season Radford embarrassed them at home and everyone "oh they are done what a joke overrated" That's why us Galax, RH and Esses played in the semifinals and everyone else got the basketballs out. And I recall a lot of people saying last year that a 6-4 Galax team was done.
Woah, woah, woah....
I don't know what world you two boys live in, but you're reaching.
Don't justify this. We got whipped tonight.
Now, is it possible that we could win a rematch? Sure! Every game starts 0-0.
But it doesn't matter who you coached (ridiculous statement, btw). It doesn't matter what team you played on. It doesn't matter what could have happened. It doesn't matter what should have happend.
What happened DID happen.
It's not up to you or anyone else what happens from this point forward. Nor is it up to you to declare what should happen because it happened "once upon a time".
Don't dictate these kids' stories. STFU, and let them write their own. Let them be men and own it.
It's not up to you or anyone to live vicariously thru them....
Y'all are just getting flat out selfish at this point. Shame on you.
Shut up, and let this team talk. It's theirs...Not yours.

Again at what point did I say that anything other than GW getting there ass beat is what happened. I'll make it very clear it wouldn't have mattered if GW played a perfect game Galax still wins that game. At this point in the season they are A BETTER TEAM. All I've done is give my opinion which is what this site is for right? And my post about people sleeping on GW wasn't in response to GDUB or you it was in response to HonestJohn. But this is a site for opinions as I said so please give yours.
Obviously opinions on here should be more discouraged than encouraged. My opinion is that of past GW teams. Confused as to how Blaster or myself are "living vicariously" through this years team. "Major newspapers"-Roanoke Times, Wythe Enterprise, Bristol Herald. Something wrong with that statement? Excuse some of us GW Alumni for being diehards to our school and caring about the sport more than others. We care enough to get on here and give our opinion and get one back but for you to go out and say stuff like "STFU and let them write their own stories". I stay connected because I want my kids to feel the pride and history of our school and every kid that has played on that team from past to future is going to feel that or has felt it. Its called passion. Nobody is giving Fridays game an excuse. In another post I specifically said it sounded like watching "Battle at Bristol" again. The best team won. It also may not matter who we coached but it stings a little more for the ones that did coach these kids in their rec days because some of us have a little more personal memory of some of these kids. The expectations are very high for this team. Point blank. Sorry Blaster. Guess we are just to selfish because of how much we care.
Hey guys, the GW/ Galax game did surprise most of us ( except Galax fans ); as well
As the Marion/ RR game. Yes there was a considerable amount of hype for GW this
Year, and Marion started out like gang busters, before being humbled at RR.
Just one or two words of common sense for any A1 school having any thought
Of going strong into the post season........We ain't there yet folks! Way too much ball
To play before the cream comes to the top.
I will say this, I do admire those on this board who love their schools, and don't hesitate
To express their passion and feelings openly. I have far more respect for them than the
Ones who read those post and sit back and wait for them to make a mistake or for those
Schools to lose, then make Hay on someone else disappointment.
One more point, it's seems like we have a self imposed school football school moderator
That comes on and post what can or can not be said about their former school. Maybe
they are very loyal to their school, and I understand that......but get real man, please.
We do have freedom of speech. If you don't like a post, so what. It is their opinion, not yours.
You can Not police what is or is not said on this site. If you think you can, which you
obviously Think you can, you need to think twice, Sir!
I did not like a reference in a post that referred to the poster as "boys", or did I like the use
Of letters that referred to "cuss" words. Maybe you just need to change your on line
Name to " Judge Judy ".

Weak. Other than Galax, they play PH of Glade Springs. At worst GW will be 8-2 but I would say they finish 9-1. Does it help to play a weak schedule? I'd say not. I think what really rubs people the wrong way, is the fact that some people had crowned GW state champs before the first snap. Now we know that no one can do "The Dougie" like Mr. Peoples from Galax.
Cupcakes with the exception of PH and if and that's a HUGE IF we can stop Humphrey then that's an win to.
