Well if i may put my opinion on this i think the reason why Altavista went under the radar this year is because a lot of people on this forum just mainly talk about the west teams and not much on the East. If you just ask a quick question about Altavista your question will be answer. Another reason why people are counting them out is because when Thornhill and crew were there they were very good and people expected that after they left. Just because that group left doesn't mean there isn't any talent left to play and the coaching staff knows how to put players were they need to be.

That makes sense...is the QB(Adams) now related to the QB from 2011?

I did pick Altavista to win myself but I don't think it will be a blowout either. Sussex is a very good team and I don't think they are overrated. I do think Altavista is underrated though. But if our prediction does come true then Riverheads will host next week if they beat Colonial Beach

How many fans would you guys guess will travel from CB this week? Just curious as I have noticed smaller crowds follow some of the east teams unless they are home.

Hard to say honestly. They are a tight knit little community and this is pretty big for them. Not sure how many of them traveled to Buffalo Gap when they played in 07 but I remember when they won the state title in basketball in 08 that the head coach said in an interview that the only people left in town that day was the police chief and a stray dog. Lol. Typically teams out East don't travel well but maybe the Beach fans will bring a respectable crowd on Friday

Sadly Essex doesn't even have many when it's a home game unless it's homecoming or they're playing King William. Sad that with all the success they've had they really don't get much support. King William probably gets the most fan support of any school in this area but even that fails in comparison to what the schools out West get

This guy right here is SUPER FUNNY! So glad Altavista fans aren't like this. But at the end of the day you are entitled to a opinion. Guess we shall see in a few days. Really looking forward to going to my hometown and talking to the guys! I hope all players are injury free in all games played this weekend, safe travels to everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Im starting to think Xcross losing faith in his boys they scared to head out west that's why he want Sussex to lose so bad to AltaVista. so they can host the next round.

Riverheads went out West and won last year. That team is a well oiled machine. Plus their fans travel well anyways.

I don't believe anyone from the red team is making any plans yet as there is a good CB team that is coming to town on Friday. Looking ahead this time of year will have you looking at someone else playing the following week.

Dude trust me this game wont be close unless riverheads let it be close I just don't see CB defense making any stops and riverheads offense will score on every possession time of possession will hurt CB RHS 42 CB 18

Don't mistake my statement as not being confident. I just think it's a fools gamble to dismiss a team that has made it to the quarter finals. Regardless of opinion, they are playing on Thanksgiving weekend which means they are a quality team in their own rights.

Back to the game this post is about. I have seen a good many people picking blowout scores in the Sussex/Altavista game and I just don't see it. I haven't seen either in person but both have been impressive at times. I look for at least one surprise game in this round and this or GW/PM is where most people are pointing. It could go just as some have predicted and be a complete blowout. Friday by about 9:30 we should know so good luck to both.

While I do believe this will be a good game. I don't see it being a blowout. 2016 Altavista may not be 2014 Altavista but they are a top notch team in there own right. Looking past them at this point would be a costly mistake. Sussex has proven they are were they should be while other teams have proven they were better then they seeded. I think Sussex wins this one by playing solid D and wearing Altavista down by putting pressure on were it counts.

Dtayl6,

Good luck to you guys tomorrow night. Hopefully it will be a good close injury free game so that every team left knows its a tough road to states.
