42--12 sounds like a halftime score to me .West Point has good line play especially on offense so they may surprise some people. They will need to move the ball effectively on first and second down and stay ahead of the sticks. If they are in 3rd and long and expect to pass it could be bad. That said, I do think Riverheads will win but not by the margin some think unless West Point has trouble with turnovers. I look for a 42-12 game or something close to that. I believe early it will be tight sledding for both but the Casto-T will start to wear on the Pointers and then break a few long plays. I really hope there is no rain but I think I am wishing on a star for that, lol.
We're just glad to be able to play in the game. If we can get the Governor to ease some restrictions, maybe we can line up and get everybody's autograph before the Riverheads bus leaves.
23 looks like a bruiser rb, on there facebook website says they will post about buying tickets from go fan, and that u will have to order tickets, dont look like alot of seats on the visitors side, and what time is the game, i have seen 1 and i have seen 2@Reecesdad, if I am not mistaken you have a lineman that plays, correct? Watched parts of three games today and I do like the line play. Pretty straightforward power single wing with little to no pulling action out of the guards but plenty strong enough for a front five. Like I said, it could be more interesting than some of my fellow Gladiator fans think since most haven’t watched any of the games.
I can appreciate your loyalty to your kids and I don't blame you for feeling slighted by this talk, but don't give them any more reason to open a can on the Pointers. You have no idea how deep the water is when you are playing the Red team in the playoffs.We're just glad to be able to play in the game.

Just got a phone call from the Superintendent. They don't want anybody standing at the outside fence.My boys a Sophomore #75. My son & I are both fans of 4 yards and a cloud of dust. He may get his ass handed to him, but he has spent a lot of time in the squat rack and he's not going to shy away from anyone from anywhere in high school football.
For those inquiring the game is at 2pm. West Point is in the Eastern Time Zone. If you can't get a ticket, park by the elementary school gymnasium off of Chelsea rd and walk the short distance to the Visitors side. The fence is only 3 ft tall and your only 3 or 4 feet from the bleachers. You can easily watch the game from that spot if you can't get in. El Ranchero is my favorite joint in town for an Enchilada and a Margerita.
Im sure Mrs Casto will be streaming it as long as she has internet service.Will the game be streamed live?
Yes on the West Point Athletics Facebook pageWill the game be streamed live?
They have been allowing people outside the fence all year and Sat theyre not? Whats up with that?Yes on the West Point Athletics Facebook page

That’s awesome. My son is at 99 offensively for his career. Hoping to break into 3 digits this weekend.smiley is a beast, over 100 tds in his 4 years, and over 5300 yards rushing, he has many records at rhs, his brother is bigger than him and is the fullback and a jr
nice, congrats, and for what schoolThat’s awesome. My son is at 99 offensively for his career. Hoping to break into 3 digits this weekend.
he is a beast as well, he has a good shot, and u are right about the line and the byproduct of casto,And his is in a long line of good backs there. It is a direct reflection of the line, and that is a byproduct of Casto.
I think the Freshman may end up passing all of them. He was the most impressive of the large stable against SD.

so he must be the qb or rb, either way 100 tds in high school is a big deal, u have to thank the o line, so maybe both will meet up next week in greenville, it will be the third time in the big dance vs each other, GO BIG RED
I see where people are coming from but the reality is that teams that are favored get beat at times even when you wouldn’t have thought it possible. I specifically remember the Gladiators losing to a good but not great King William team at home in 2014 28-27 on the only missed extra point of the year. To be clear that wasn’t on the final play or anything so I don’t want to emphasize that too much just reference the slim margin. My point is that coming into that game, there was not a thought that Riverheads would not advance past that round. Games sometimes take on a different look/feel than anyone expects. That’s what gets the blood flowing and adrenaline surging. Good luck to all the teams still competing and letting old farts live vicariously through them.
Also I remember in 09 I believe we lost to Altavista at home 20-17 in a game we were heavily favored. We had several fumbles in that game that were costly that we never recovered from. I agree anything can happen, but its a Galax/Riv rematch unless Covid takes one of them out. There is just too much disparity between them and their opponents this year. Not trying to knock either team just stating the obviousI see where people are coming from but the reality is that teams that are favored get beat at times even when you wouldn’t have thought it possible.

You indeed may be right but I thought it was a long TD run right up the middle by one of the Fisher boys, either Alex or Matt I think their names were.Going back a few more years to agree with Redpridenation's point, the year was 2006. The Big Red had one of the best passing attacks we have ever had. Jacob Hutchinson, who would go on to play and start for Bridgewater College, was the quarterback and he had two great receivers in Travis Brake and Jeremy Heizer, plus of course our usual potent rushing game and a stout defense.
We were 9-0 going into Senior Night and here came Wilson with probably something like a 6-3 record. It was naturally "assumed" that we would finish the regular season 10-0. But the Hornets showed up to play that night and threw a long touchdown pass in the final minutes to win 28-21.
The story had a happy ending as we went on to win four playoff games and capture our second state title. But that one blemish made the overall record 13-1 instead of a much more impressive-sounding 14-0. My guess is that game still stings some of those RHS players and gives some of the Wilson players a fun story to tell.
