Funny when Salem played all those teams, they didn't outnumbered the Salem fans. Maybe a lot of people showed up for the State game that normally doesn't go. Not to mention that some fans are from other teams that have been eliminated. Who knows. Like I said earlier. You can have 5 fans or 5,000 fans. The only thing that matters is the play in the field. I bet Lake Taylor had the smallest crowds.
I will say Amherst brought a lot of fans to Salem when we had those epic battles in Regions. Some of the largest combined crowds I've seen at Salem Stadium
I would be surprised if he does. Salem what Salem does. They don't change based on their opponent.
They made changes for LT and Louisa in the state games. And that's just off the top of my head.
Big OL came back from injury in 17. Big OL came back from injury in Spring 21.
Did not say they wouldn't make changes if necessary. I highly doubt Salem has #73 or #51 playing O-line for this game. The less 2 way players the better. Could they play if needed? Yes
Louisa probably had more fans in 2017 than Salem. Didn’t affect the outcome but that was the only time I’ve seen Salem be outnumbered. We saw that ridiculous debate on the 3A boards about LCA having home field advantage and more fans, but it doesn’t mean a hill or bean. It’s all about who’s most prepared, coached and ready to play that day.
It didn't help that Salem had to travel 3hrs and 38m to W&M on the back end of a 3 peat. 100% agree with your above statement.
Right up there with the 11,000-12,000+ for Salem and Pulaski in the late 80's early 90's.. Nothing like winning a $4000+ 50/50
Yep, they are the two best OL on the team but they haven't played one snap of offense all year. Neither will play offense barring injuries, imo.
I watched Salem / Amherst game on line last week (Free). Bathroom, Fridge (stocked with adult beverages) just a few steps away, and my comfy recliner. Why go to a game and put up with the hassles.
Just talking about the football game is only a guessing game. Louisa is 1b after Martinsburg at 1a as Salem’s best opponent this year. Both teams gonna play smash mouth football. If Louisa can stop those 4 yard a pop runs by Salem then the Lions will win. If Salem stops Wilson/Smith, they win. Thing is, Logan is good but I won’t go as far to say he’s the best player on the field tonight. Jordan Smith is damn good too and probably has something to say about that.
If they are the best OL why are they not playing?
Yes we did. I just look at some photos from those games. It was completely full. I miss those days.
The best FOOTBALL PLAYER on the field tonight will not touch the ball.... Unless he scoops a fumble or pics a ball off. CM51 is a Dude. If ya don't know, now you know.
He’s good too. Louisa and Salem both have very good players. Hard to say who’s the best.
To be a Got Dang American! To experience life. To check out the hot moms.
Also team speed/quickness favored Salem and Salem was much much better fundamentally.
