GW- We are better than everyone thought and still improving. With a week off we have a little time to try and get out horrible pass D in some what of shape. Honaker is coming and we need to be ready!

Galax- This team is a sleeping GIANT they have had bad breaks in all of their games they are 1 or 2 bad plays away from being 4-0. Mark my words they will send a few teams home early come playoff time. But they have a big test in Giles coming up.

Radford- They are still rolling and show no signs of slowing down they still have Giles and Glenvar. Giles might give them some trouble but Giles does that to everyone lol. But I think they will beat Glenvar.

Honaker- They to keep rolling and also show no signs of slowing GW makes our way down in 1 weeks time now. If Honaker can get there pass game going we might be in for a LONG night time will tell.

Bland- I honestly cant believe that we are even talking about bland they could be 6-0 come time to play Grayson Co. Bland might be one of those deep sleepers to watch.

RR- They seem to have all the tools to be a decent team but can they put it together and come on strong near the end of the season.


If I left anyone off it's not be mean I probably just didn't think about them please feel free to add any team you think needs to be added here.

P.S This is not a post to start crap just a good conversation if your team is not here put them up

Hey Blaster! Coach Dickson helped GW's line play to much .LOL! Just read article in paper about Harner inviting Dickson over for line play help. How many coaches would help other teams in the conference? Don't know but thought this was a cool gesture.

Yes sir he did before the season started from what I've heard we wanted to work with them on technique and they wanted to work with our size. And yeah it was very cool of coach Dickson to help our kids out I have a lot of respect for the whole Galax program. All I can say is other teams better be ready when they play Galax or it's going to be a long night.
 
If Radford beats both Giles and Glenvar then my hats off to them. Pencil them in to the finals at Salem Stadium against Essex. They may beat one or the other but I don't think they beat both. Based on games they've played thus far. I would say they would be 10 point underdogs against Giles and even odds against Glenvar.
 
Blaster I think you are point on after 4 weeks. It's setting up like Galax will be a low seed and dangerous. Maybe about a 9 or 10
 
Idk about anybody else but as a Honaker fan I'm getting sick and tired of the lower seeded Galax and radfords lol! It's like hey congrats on the high seed and easy first round game oh wait you have to play them in the second round? But hey they play extremely tough schedules and they are playoff ready when they get there.
 
From what I've been told GW is not the only team coach Dixon helped out this year. Not sure who the other teams were but just shows he loves the game and wants to help all kids do it the right way and reach their potential.

Galax still has some tough games on their schedule with a lot of work to do just to make the playoffs. If they keep their heads up and continue to work I think they will be fine.

Seems a lot of people from the east think that Essex is a lock to be in Salem and apparently the west doesn't stand a chance on being in Salem. ( that might be true but alot of ball to be palyed yet) just curious on who the other teams from the east are that the west doesn't have a chance against?
 
Trust me guys the West teams are not worried about any of the east teams. Now don't get me wrong Essex is a monster waiting on prey. But the west is full of what most people I've seen on here would call prey for Essex. Who can quickly turn into the Predator. There is no quit in the kids from Radford, GW, Galax, Honaker and many more. We play two completely different styles of football but that is why we play the game to see who gets the chance to play at Salem. Now if in the end it is two east teams congrats but I honestly only see one as a threat to a lot of the west teams and that's Essex but time will tell.
 
Essex, AltaVista, Riverheads, Luray are the four monsters in 2016.....
I hope they finish in some combination of 1-4 so they wont face off until the final 8

but the depth now in 1A East is night and day compared to 2015.
First round will still be a joke but round 2 on will be legit teams

Old teams like Franklin, Sussux, Lunenberg showing signs of life.....
 
Thought Altavista was down some this year or have just played some really good teams so far?
 
You definetly are going to be "down" if you lose a ACC scholarship player (Thornhill) but they are still very very good. :)

I agree with you here on 2016 but right now Essex is the only real threat to some of the teams out of the west.
 
I really need to see this "BIG RED" team everyone talks about because since they entered 1a again everyone seems to think that the depth of the east has grown so much. I hope they get a chance to bring that ground and pound to far swva so we can show them how it's really done.
 
Braves fan Not trying to make anybody sick of any team. Just conversation and I am sure the Tigers of Honaker will be a tuff game for anybody.
 
I said that with nothing but humor scags! Sorry if it didn't come off like that! Never will I be sick of any team from swva.
 
All I meant was just like last year how Radford was seeded 8th. Wow that bobcat team was the BEST 8 seed I have seen. Way to athletic. Gave Honaker everything they wanted and more with a back up qb.
 
Interesting so many people have The Red Team on their radar. I don't think this years team is complete but we shall see. As someone else said, there's a lot of football left to be played before someone gets crowned in Salem.
 
I think the west is much deeper than the east from top to bottom. You have radford honaker George wythe and galax just to name a few. But I think the two best 1A teams are in the east in Essex and Riverheads.its going to be very difficult for any of the west teams to knock off one of these two in my opinion
 
Braves fan. Sometimes it's hard to read the sarcasm. But I do the same. Did you see what the guy said about the west scrub1a teams. Now that's funny.
 
Bland! I'm not sure they're playing at the same level as Radford, GW, Galax, or Honaker but how great is it that we're talking about them? We didn't even have a football team when I went to school there. I would be thrilled to see them upset at least one of the Gs (Galax, Grayson, Graham). They should be favored against Fort and Narz.
