PM lived and died trying to run ball. Altavista played sloppy on special teams losing 2 fumbles that allowed PM to hang around .
Altavista had superior defensive unit.

PM is the very good team and the fans travel amazing.
PM came out and punched Altavista. Scored on first drive. Altavista responded with score of its own to tie game. The Blues are a great team and Dawson is a beast. Blues got a late FG to make it 14-10 at half. But in the second half the number of Colonels that can hurt you, hurt the Blues. No other PM back could get going and Dawson didn't have enough. Altavista's defensive stood strong, shut out the Blues in the second half (and after the first drive gave up only one long play- a halfback pass to set up the FG). Altavista's got the players to bring fresh legs at you (or at least rested legs) all game long. And Dawson didn't have the same speed as the game continued. The Colonels didn't let PM other 1,000 yard back, Arthur, get anything going all night.

Congrats Altavista
Well done, Essex and Altavista represent the East once again. Was not easy by any means, the East was stacked this year it seemed.
PM, y'all kept it close for awhile. AltaVista is really, really good (to state the obvious ha). Great season - wanted to maybe see ole Dawson again (maybe ha).
mmqp- great chatting with you (great community y'all got there). W&L folks were very impressed with y'all (total package).

Re: Congrats Altavista
Always a pleasure chatting with you as well!
It was a great game, but as HR6 said we do live or die trying to run the ball. There is nothing wrong with that. But you better score TD's when you have the ball or else a team like the Colonels will kill you. That defense... my goodness.
Congrats on the win tonight vs. CB and best of luck the rest of the way.

Re: Congrats Altavista
mmqp, impressive showing from PM and the entire community of Buena Vista. I watched film of Dawson this week, and was impressed, but nowhere near as impressed a I was when I saw the kid on the field. That opening drive?? Wow. I thought the Colonels were in a world of trouble, wasn't sure if we would be able to contain him. Colonels defense made the right adjustments, and "limited" Dawson to 102 yards. If BV takes that beginning of the 2nd half kick-off fumble and is able to punch it in......I think it's a totally different game. BV defense did a really good job of keeping AHS from the lightning strike 2 and 3 play drives too. I spoke to the Blues radio guys, and all along we thought BV looked like a 3 seed as opposed to a 6 seed, just thought W&L was not as good as the VHSL formula had them (other than the NND had a bunch of teams with decent records).
I got to speak with several BV people, great community, great fans. Congratulation to the Fighting Blues on a great season, and to Rhyeem Dawson on a great career.

Great game. PM gave the rock to 7 on that first drive and I just knew the Colonels were in for a long night. I was impressed that Altavista was able to adjust and make some long sustained drives, something very different from what they've done most of the year. Couldn't understand the colonels play calling strategy right before the half. That was very poor clock management IMO. I was thinking that would come back to bite them but ultimately it didn't. Good win for the home team and a tough loss for a very talented PM team.
Re: Now you talking
There you go HR6 you called it right,Altavistas D won that game.I was there &great to see the big turnout on both sides.I think all of Buena Vista was there,lol.Thats great they came out to support those young men.A very very good team.I see why there undefeated.But in the end as HR6 stated the Altavista D stepped up&slowed Dawson down and Altavistas overall team speed just to much for the Blues.Im proud of you HR6 not complaining about the total lack of passing on BOTH sides.

I thought Altavista's offense looked a little out of sync all night. They barely beat play clock on a lot of snaps. They took longer to get play in and get lined up than normal.
I just knew they'd hit a big one right before the half.

Re: Congrats Altavista
Yea man, it was a great game. PM had their chances, but Altavista shut the door on every one of those 3 turnovers. The better team won hands down.
Best atmosphere I've been a part of for a very long time. Made the trip from up north worth it, win or lose.
Congratulations on the win and best of luck next week!
And yes, Dawson is a senior. Give it a couple years though, he has a younger brother who is about to start high school.
