Appomattox-Richlands
- Thread starter dmosdad
- Start date
Game officials are interesting, a lot of missed or not called DB holding the WRs and missed holding on the DEs. What might be the worst is that there is no play clock and I've been timing off the official from my phones stop watch and it's continually 26-29 seconds. The hard hit fumbles and INT must be the football gods trying to even it out on the field.
Appomattox holds Richlands to a 3 and out, will get the ball back with about 4 minutes remaining. first and ten on their own 41.
Appo is the real deal......their D is as good as advertised
I told you Appomattox defense was well suited to match up with Richlands offense...its Appomattox offense that's surprised me.
Someone on here said that richlands would/could easily win state titles in 2A, 3A, and would be a Top 4 team in 4A. Might want to rethink that accessment.
No one said they could win the titles in all of those. All they said is we could compete in any of those divisions. And I still believe we could.
The officials did not have good game. Numerous missed calls. But they did call my favorite. A block in back 30 yards from ball. Then they missed a block in back 5 yards from ball and 5 yards right in front of ref.
"Did not have a good game" is quite the understatement. It was utterly pathetic both ways.
Congratulations to Richlands on a great season.
Hats off to both teams. This game was everything a fan could ask of a playoff game between two great teams! We all knew Richlands O was strong and Appo D was strong but the Richlands D impressed me. They kept the Appomattox play makers in check for most of the game! #27 for Richlands was all over the field and delivered some crushing blows! Again, congrats to Richlands for a great game and season. You guys have an all around great program. Great fans too! Without a doubt the Blue Tornadoes are my favorite program from SWVA. Much respect for you guys. @RichlandsRyan @stormwatcher @Bigrhsfan
I have so much to say, but I will say it tomorrow when I get time. Best football game I have witnessed LIVE!
Because Richlands defense I thought were on the same level as ours and we held them in check for 4 quarters. And after going down by 2 scores so late I was surprised they were able to do it as successful through the air that's all.
Wouldnt have mattered, we have WRs. Appomattox is a team that u cant focus on ONE player cause the one u least expect gonna punish you. Hey HR6? How many other WRs got ball in 4th? Exactly...
I will say this, Richlands D did surprise me. Great showing. #11 needs to take opponents head on instead of waiting until they pass him to catch them. He was in position to make a play several times, but he let them pass by him to catch up later. Great WR, good on D unless he can change that about his game. His speed and Appo's #10 seems to be same speed by seeing them on field together. Both are phenomenal athletes.
I will say that Appomattox has several good skill players. Actually, they probably have more than any team in 2A.
