Play until the game is over, weather it be starters or not. The back ups want be back ups forever. Just my opinionTo try and steer this in a new direction, how should a team handle getting plowed in playoffs?
I'm torn. I was kinda disappointed in how Marion kept attacking the second and third string guys on defense for Union last night, and the Canes starting D was laying some wood to the bottom of bench for Bears and I thought it was a little unnecessary.
But once I think about it, how do you handle that? Do you really take your seniors off the field in their last game? Do you do it like baseball, give them a curtain call? Send the starters out, then at once sub in the back ups letting the starters get a big round of applause?
I'm honestly curious as to how most feel.

I think it’s one of the hardest things in regards to football cause there is no right answer. Personally, I think the winning team decides when to sub out in massive blowouts and when they do I am totally fine with the losing team 1’s staying in for a score or so against the 2’s etc depending on how bad the blowout is. However, I don’t like when the losing school keeps their 1s in versus another’s 2/3’s for 3/4 multiple series in a row.To try and steer this in a new direction, how should a team handle getting plowed in playoffs?

Like I said-no right answer but just my opinion.
Correct and then the senior thing is a whole different animal. It’s hard to to take those kids off field for their last few min of football for the rest of their lives. Basketball and baseball are totally different as there more stoppages and dead time for curtain calls etc.I tend to feel mostly the same way. But again, I can see the other side of letting your seniors finish their final game.
I'm glad someone else agrees it's a tricky situation with no right answers. FTR, I was referring to Marion-Union, Bears up 49-7 in the 4th after leading 42-7 at break.

BTW-good luck to Union (I believe you follow them) as that Saturday 2 years ago up at Clarke in the state semis is/was what high school football is all about. By far the greatest atmosphere I’ve seen by 2 communities and you guys had to travel 6/7 hours. I know that I personally follow and root for you guys down in Southwest Va. and hopefully one day we can have round 2. Good luck the rest of the way.I didn't even consider the stoppages and dead time point, good call. I guess you could take a time out and give the units a curtain call of sorts but it'd be much harder to pull off.
It was just a situation that in the moment, I had one opinion and after some time to think I realized where I may have not taken all variables into account.

Write this down, Giles will never win another title with that gimmick offense. You heard it hear first. 10 years from now you will be saying the same old crap. We won 4 rocks and I wasn’t apart of any of those teams kids, your daddy played the meat flute in High School. I just dropped the mic on your DA!!

Bahahaha. The power va preps gives some people. Giles is something that rhymes with legit. Any guesses???Hey dipshit dumbass. Giles is legit. You are mere nothing. FT Chiswell has had one good team in history. It was soft as you.
maybe not so much in the play0ffs, but I've seen situations in some of the smaller A and AA schools in SWVA where they simply don't have the numbers to pull 11 guys off the field and replace them with another 11. Sometimes your starting tight end is your 2nd team fullback. Things such as that keep better players on the field. Same thing with injuries, one guy goes down, you may have 3 guys switch positions with a sub coming in not to replace the injured guy, but replacing one of the ones that moved. I noticed this in a game a few years back as the fans were accusing the leading team of running up the score although they had made lots of substitutions and had guys playing different positionsTo try and steer this in a new direction, how should a team handle getting plowed in playoffs?

Oh for pete's sake, grow up or get off the boards.Write this down, Giles will never win another title with that gimmick offense.

My name isn’t Pete and like that’s going to happen just because you said it. Maybe you can run outside and yell the sky is falling and it will happen just because Clarke said it is. The power of ones mind.Oh for pete's sake, grow up or get off the boards.
Please don’t tell me to jump off of a bridge, I can already feel myself growing up. LoL!!Oh for pete's sake, grow up or get off the boards.
Totally agree, it only appears to me that someone got very upset they went home in the first round.The fact that this thread actually has the word "class" in the title is mind boggling. And it only gets more asinine from there...
And someone got even more upset they got beat down in the second. Is it worse to get beat in the 1st or 2nd round? Just wondering. You are probably really upset Narrows is still playing and well you know the rest. I hope I see a lot of red in Narrows on Saturday.Totally agree, it only appears to me that someone got very upset they went home in the first round.
None of your post even make sense. One if Narrows does not play Giles i pull for them. Second Narrows got spanked by Giles 35 to 0. Keep winning Narrows, makes Giles look even better. I'm just trying to go back and see what triggered your emotions on the Giles hate. I have never seen you act this way before, but then again your team is not used to being in the playoffs either. So only thing I can figure is u really thought Fort had a chance to beat Giles and just very upset it did not happen. Happy Thanksgiving, hope u get lots of turkey and WINEAnd someone got even more upset they got beat down in the second. Is it worse to get beat in the 1st or 2nd round? Just wondering.
