Who has the better chance for an upset?

[G MASTER BLASTER W]

GW or Galax both are really solid teams this year and both have really! hard tests in week 1 and are both the underdogs going into the first week. For me it's GW and not just because I'm a GW fan mainly because of how much Glenvar brought back from last seasons state team. And GW filled basically all of the spots we lost with same level talent. Now I'm not saying Galax doesn't have just as good a chance cause I really think they are going to be a big task for every team they play this season. This is just my opinion and nothing more this is not to start crap just to get a conversation going.

Galax is going to beat Glenvar and I don't consider it to be an upset. Galax is the real deal and Glenvar lost too much from last year.

Sorry Blaster but Radford is better this year with the majority of their team coming back. I can't say the same for GW. Remember you lost your experienced quarterback and more importantly Skeens who IMO was one of the best players in 1A last year. GW still has talent but those two will not be easily replaced. Radford's quarterback, Finley, is back for his senior year and he will be the difference maker. Radford is definitely better than last year and they beat GW last year. One advantage GW does have is they are playing at home.

glenvar lost 22 seniors

I knew Glenvar lost a lot of seniors but from everyone I've talked to said that they brought back most of there starters from last season. And no doubt Galax is a very good team I don't think anyone will argue that so if they beat Glenvar I can say ill be surprised. But lets not forget Galax lost there best player in Peoples he was a BESAT!. And as far as GW yes we lost Skeen who I agree was one of the best in 1A but his backup was Holdin Tolley and he is back we also brought back Tyler Hardin who started in the backfield and on D at LB. And FINALLY! as a GW fan we get Scrappy Wells in the backfield who started LB last season this young man is a monster he reminds me of Larry McCoy who I played with but faster IMO. And yes we lost our QB but to be honest he was mainly a running back who could throw if we absolutely had to now we have Decon Beamer who's arm is 100 times better no he is not as mobile but he is a true QB with a cannon. And as far as Radford yes they have Finley and Grant and brought back a lot and will be really good this year no doubt about it. But I can tell you for a fact GW brought back a lot as well and what we did lose we replaced with just as much talent maybe more in a few spots so I honestly think we will be better a good bit better. But that's why the young men from each team play on Friday nights to see who is better that night and not who is better on paper. So to all who are traveling to games this Friday be safe and have fun. It's only 4 days away now!

Peoples was at Fork Union last year, Joseph Dixon ran the ball for Galax last year.

Blaster. Peoples was at Fork union last year.So GAlax had Dixon at TB last year.
Now another Peoples is in the Back Field this year. Time will tell if he can run the ball.

So Galax is the real deal huh? Did coach Dixon finally start coaching some defense. Since they combined 1a west ( I had never seen Galax prior to that) they have always had great offenses but never been able to stop anyone. Except for 2011 and they played for a state championship that year. If they play defense then maybe they are the real deal but I would have to see it to believe it

Of those 22 seniors then there were only 6 starters that I can think of which is highly unusual.

My bad I meant Dixon just had peoples in mind cause he was SO good don't get me wrong Dixon was a beast as well. Sorry for the mix up.
