Thoughts? Huge game this week. If Rapp wins they claim the district title so the pressure has to be on them. I got Essex winning by a couple touchdowns. It will be close until half and then Essex offense will wear down the raiders defense.

In my opinion Essex since the 2000s has the moniker of being a finesse highlight reel program, give or take it has cost them some titles at the States. Due to not being able to execute the normal Essex juggernaut offense this year , Essex has started to embrace the strengths of the personnel of this year team which is more suited for power downhill football offensively, if the Trojans stay the course of riding there all State Rb and D1 recruit they could and should see a rematch with Franklin in Region A. If the coaching of Essex fully embrace this concept it will give them a good shot of winning Friday, then surviving Region A then setting up a rematch with the Big Red Machine. Essex by then shoud be able to sprinkle some of that passing game in to get a shot to go to Salem.

That program has always had baby bulls that they ignore to utilize, until know.Excellent breakdown. I know when I saw them play vs. Altavista in the 2014 State Title it was surprising to me just how big Essex was on the line, yet they never ran plays that allowed that line to get physical.

The weather for Fridays game is Bull weather, should benefit Rappahanock.The baby bulls are alive and running now!

They were HUGE that year I know. Running backs and all but they ran some sort of odd looking double wing or something to that effect.
Thanks uvacavs1 we all are football crazy and share our passion for programs you continue to stand up for your Indians never waiver. As for Riverheads im quite sure we will argue some more but I have nothing but respect for them, actually I hope to get to meet them next year in Sussex as my Tigers Rep Region B.tutiger16, I enjoy your thoughts and analysis. I may not always agree with it all but I like reading it.
Hey, as long as you are not arguing back and forth with the Riverheads folks, you are a chill dude lol.
Rapp only lost to Essex by a touchdown a couple years back in the playoffsIt's been a long time since Rapp has been able to play Essex close.
@uvacavs1 must be something in the water around here.[/Q
After Sussex season finale im pulling for Broncos to Win State.Its not the size of the dog(player) in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog(player). But the handler (coach) has to put them in a postion the be successful you take programs like franklin, sussex, and Southampton with the power I and the veer its not pretty but it always work.
