2017 State Championship gameDid they play each other a few years ago in the State Semis or Championship?
On a Sunday due to weather. It just didn't have that exciting state championship vibe to me. Many fans who had tickets couldn't make it.2017 State Championship game
I thought it had a good vibe.On a Sunday due to weather. It just didn't have that exciting state championship vibe to me. Many fans who had tickets couldn't make it.
Not sure I agree with the ends being weak. They do what’s expected of them. Salem defense is assignment. It’s not flashy, it’s not heroics. It just gets the job done!! Anyone know how many rushing yards the front 7 have given up this year?I'm really looking forward to it. Both teams match up well defensively with the opposing offenses.
As many have mentioned on here, Salem's front 7 is VERY good. Their DT combo is easily the best that I have seen in the state and all of the LBs are extremely aggressive, fast and physical. The DEs are solid but are definitely the weaker part of the DL (which is why the Peyton Lewis injury was so important) so I am sure they will be attacked.
It's possible. Especially since it's Louisa Co. A very good team that we haven't played every yr. Definitely see this matchup being a staple in the playoffs for many yrs.Can y'all pack your side like this?
Well Salem is playing at home. Winning records also help.It's possible. Especially since it's Louisa Co. A very good team that we haven't played every yr. Definitely see this matchup being a staple in the playoffs for many yrs.
Fans in recent yrs have not turned out for playoff games. 2019 vs Glass and Danville crowds were very smallWell Salem is playing at home. Winning records also help.
Appomattox does.It's possible. Especially since it's Louisa Co. A very good team that we haven't played every yr. Definitely see this matchup being a staple in the playoffs for many yrs.
I know I go to them all because we host and none have been very large. The largest crowd I've ever seen since at LU was Amherst vs. Louisa in 2006Fans in recent yrs have not turned out for playoff games. 2019 vs Glass and Danville crowds were very small
Obviously yes we can. Now will we. Depends on weather. Have A safe trip, eat at Mac and Bob's on Main Street. If weather permits there will be some tailgating. Enjoy your trip. You are about to play in the best high school stadium in Virginia.@racindan4u that was directed at Salem fans.
yeah i got that but showing the salem stadium confused me. is that supposed to be a full stadium i mean ours when full is FULL and on the road we have more fans than the home team usually.,
Were you asking if they were allowed to fill their stadium like they had in the past or were there restrictions and there wouldn't be much of a crowd?@racindan4u I simply hope Salem fans fill their stands like they did in the photo. That's all. These are still COVID times.
I'll be honest with you LionsNation, some Salem fans have been spoiled by success and just take it for granted that they'll make it deep in the playoffs. The fan support has been disappointing the last few years, especially considering the recent success. The picture is from 2015 Pulaski when both teams were 9-0. I'd love to see that level of fan support again. The team deserves that much.@VAHSFootballFan no, I just expect a smaller crowd since it's still not normal times, but I'd love if everyone comes out. Louisa has had smaller crowds but no restrictions.
I can't remember how much tickets cost when I became an adult, but I'm pretty sure it was $5. That $5 from 1992 would be the equivalent of about $9-$10 today. So $7 for a regular season game is reasonable compared to COLA.That may be true about being spoiled but I also think high school sports has priced themselves out of a market. $7/$8 per game or more is tough on a family especially in these times. I've always been of the opinion that $5 is the most anyone should have to pay for a high school athletic event. Children under a certain age shouldn't have to pay that. I don't know how many coaches and AD's read these posts but I know some would agree. Coaches and players especially would rather see 2000 people at a game paying $5 each than half that many paying $2 or $3 dollars more.
I wouldn't be surprised if Salem's #73 plays on the O line.I doubt the OL of Spartans can do anything with 52 and 97. I saw there highlights on Hudl.
I've been to all the state games at LU and there have been team fans that have outnumbered Salem. Dinwiddie, Christiansburg, Amherst, Sherando, Richlands and Louisa that I recall. Brookville had a decent crowd. The other schools wouldn't compare because of distance traveled.I'll be honest with you LionsNation, some Salem fans have been spoiled by success and just take it for granted that they'll make it deep in the playoffs.

1MoreHokie- [I feel pretty confident in saying in the nearly 40 years that stadium has been standing no opposing crowd has EVER outnumbered the Salem faithful.]I've been to all the state games at LU and there have been team fans that have outnumbered Salem.

I doubt he plays offense unless it's absolutely necessary. Salem wants the D-line to stay fresh. So they don't get worn down by the second half. Basically what you see us what you get.I wouldn't be surprised if Salem's #73 plays on the O line.
