I've heard how great LCA is this season. Of course, I think that Christiansburg, Lord Botetourt, Magna Vista, Kettle Run, Hopewell, Thomas Jefferson and any other remaining schools still alive in the playoffs would like to have their respective shot at knocking the king off the throne. Christiansburg without Tanner Evans (love that kids heart and his love of his team and teammates) changes the dynamic there but nonetheless I can't see them laying down for anyone to wipe their feet on them. KR losing (I think their star RB) would think they are still in full tilt mode to lace up their cleats and hit the field, Hopewell was missing from my understanding the younger brother of Tre Henderson most of the season but I can't imagine them saying let's just forfeit because if we make it to state we're facing LCA so what's the point! I guess what I'm saying is I've seen GREAT teams get beat on given days! Who saw 2016 Stanton River and that young man Overstreet (one of my favorite high school players of all time) losing to the 10th seed Blacksburg team. Who saw the 2015 Salem Spartans face a Lake Taylor team whose fans came to that title game wearing back to back state championship tee shirts as if they had already beaten Salem for that state title and lost to those Spartans. 2014 Magna Vista Warriors facing a juggernaut Lafayette team whom destroyed their opponents by an avg margin of roughly 49 points per game and pulled out the win! I guess what I'm getting at is we play the games to determine the outcomes not verbally give out titles. I get it LCA is GREAT but I think some of our true public schools should get a shout out for lacing them up and hitting the field. There are many life lessons to David's facing Goliath's in this world but what a story it would make to any team that can stand after 4 quarters and look at the score board and if fortune favors see just 1 point more on their side of the scoreboard! You talking about campfire conversations a dad could have with a son 20 years down the road! Good luck to all and not that I'm pulling against LCA because they are sons of mothers and fathers also but they apparently are heavily favored to dominate against public school teams but just want to see if someone is willing to answer the bell! God bless!
