This is the 1st meeting between these 2 since 2010. And GW has won all of the previous meetings to my knowledge and most of them by many points. This year it seems that these 2 are closely matched I say that by way of common opponents alone. So we could be in for a good game but I'm also predicting a high scoring game.

Grayson has a pretty good pass game and that's our weakness always has been. But the D they field isn't spoken of with much respect at all. They don't seem to be able to keep the opponents out of the end zone much at all. But they seem to be able to score but the better teams they've played we're able to have alot of mistakes and still win. FC jumped up big but slacked and gave up some point's and Grayson made it look better than it was. Glenvar had an ungodly amount of TO'S and still won by 20. Now I'm not saying GW is a Glenvar caliber team this year but they aren't Bland, RR or Auburn either.

Even with the beating Galax handed out our O was spectacular in the 1st Q. And we went off on Bland and I know it's Bland but we finally came together a little bit. So if we can keep that momentum going then we can win this game and look good doing it. In the same breath we can lose it and look very bad doing it. Idk how much either team will be able to keep the other out of the end zone. So this game might simply come down to who has the ball last. Or if one teams offense struggles to get going this game could be a blowout either way. I'm confident that GW can and will win this one by a comfortable margin off they come ready. Our backs have been giving it hell the last 2 weeks especially Rayvon Wells.

Grayson should struggle to run the ball on us but I think they will have success passing. GW should be able to run the ball or pass the ball but will have trouble stopping the pass game for Grayson. So I'm excited to see what's going to happen tomorrow night either team can win it's really going to depend on what team shows up and whose defense does a better job. I'm going with GW coming ready and playing good team ball.

So with all of that said you know I gotta go with MY MAROONS
GW-49 Grayson-35
Good luck to all heading to a game and safe travels

Spectacular? Come on man
 
Yeah I believe it was compared to what we've looked like all year. Scored in 3 plays Rayvon ran like he was lit on fire and ran over a damn good player to score. They looked better that Q than they have at any other point in this season. If that GW plays the whole game it would've been alot closer of a game. And if you would've seen our O in any other game this year you'd truly understand why in saying that was spectacular. 99% of the time this year we couldn't score on ourselves haha.

That was their first series, not the whole qtr. Not trying to bust your bubble but almost every team Galax has played this year looked pretty good their first series or two.

That's fair it really is but that was by far the best they've looked to this point all year. If that GW showed up all 4 Qs we could very easily be 7-1 right now.

Would have loved to have had the chance to go to the game tonight. Listened to the thrashing graham put on the fort and didn't get but one score update at halftime from Gw game. Kinda miss the old announcer. He was way more connected as far as in game scoring reports! Still not sure at this point if RR survived against auburn??? Anybody know anything?

Auburn 31 -7 I think
 
Hopefully we can lay the wood to RR next week lol. That's the only game 99% of GW fans care about anyway so I'm hoping for a blowout next week haha.
 
Yeah no doubt those 3 are huge games at GW. But no rival is bigger than RR that is the game of games for us and them. Both teams hate getting best by the other and it's bragging rights for a year. The rivalries may have been different years ago but among younger generations RR is a must win every year.

im gonna have to agree with maroons67 on this one! Sounds like some BS! The RR game is a local rivalry but not anymore important than the FC game. The 2015 RR/GW game was an absolutely the most exciting game I've seen in years. But prior to that it hasn't been much to write home about!!! Not sure but I think the last time RR won this "rivalry game" was the alumni game a few years ago.

Pretty sure gw has won every game against RR since 2004 or 2005! Now FC on the other hand has went 5-4 in the last 9 showings against the mighty roons! Seems To me that would be a bigger rivalry at this point.
 
Dont know about either of these teams, but competitiveness isn't the main factor in a rivalry game. For my school, Stuarts Draft and Riverheads has been a good series over the years, while Stuarts Draft beat Wilson something like 30 years in a row. Wilson has always been the bigger rivalry, because of situation with kids going to school together for years
 
I understand what your saying. I just feel like having 3 teams in wythe co should be a rivalry so to speak anytime two of them meet up. No one more important than the other. I can also understand blaster saying that RR is a long standing rivalry and should be because the two schools are only separated by 13 miles or so. Bottom line for me is in wythe these kids start competing with all three schools at a young age and continue thru high school so I wouldn't be so quick to assume that FC game isn't as important. If it isn't it should be!

FC is a big one but we smashed them for 20+ years before they've got these few wins. So they really fell by the side. And yes GW has owned the RR rivalry but in the not so distant past they were always the ones talking and always the ones pranking us. So among the younger generation RR has always been the one you must beat. And the reason RR has stayed at the front of the line is FC and GW didn't play for years after 2 or 3 63-3 type beatings. But no matter what RR has always been a district game and has always been right in our face. So yes on paper FC would be the bigger game for us and the bigger rival. But in most recent players hearts it's RR.
 
1A West Point hasn't beaten nearby 2A King William since 1999, but it is clearly the biggest game for WP most every year.
 
first i have to LOL cause "current players hearts" don't always win ball games!!! If so, gw prob wouldn't even be 5-4!!! Sure they will crush RR this Friday? That's not a question really. We all know how that game is gonna play out. Gw wins big! Hope they play it like their in Salem cause IMO I don't think we will be seeing them there this year!?!?!

Oh I agree that heart is not anything we have this year. And yes GW should win by 7+tds but imo that game mean alot if not the most. It's not always about who can get you the most points or who has the most wins sometimes it's about beating the guy's you see each week. The guys that may be family or simply a friend.
 
Blaster maybe I misunderstood you. I was under the impression that u were overly excited to go whip RR.(a team that is way smaller, and clearly struggling in years). But I do see what ur saying about it being more about family and friendly rivalries. U make a good point.
