Class AA Football Preseason Thoughts

[Gridiron60]

Since this forum has all fall sports across all classes in the same place, I created a thread specific to the one I’m interested in. I don’t know that much about Region A or Region B. I know several schools are consistently in the mix and there are a couple 3A that can moved down. I really can’t speak to those regions.

Region C - I like Glenvar. Their QB is very talented. He can sling it with great accuracy. Will he have an offensive line that gives him time to do it ? If not, he can take off too. There may be other teams in the mix but I favor Glenvar.

Region D-In the M7, I give the nod to Union & in SWD, the nod to Graham. Graham lost some key players to graduation but have some formidable talent coming back. I’d say one of these two will win region D. Its hard to bet against Graham and I’d like to see them repeat as champions but Union is due a trip to state.

I got my Gmen coming out of Region D. Region C Glenvar. Grahams won the Region 4 years straight. I'm not picking against them. Ahmads other son moved from NC back to Bluefield. Gonna have 2 Bradshaws on the field at Graham and several other great athletes to go with massive and very deep OL and DL. Gonna have 2 Palmers also. The oldest is upcoming junior and has D1 offers on defense and the youngest is a freshmen and Bradshawish in talent/freakish athlete. He's major D1. Out of Grahams 22 starters and many of them playing both ways, there will be probably 6 guys on the current team that either already has D1 offers or will have at least one D1 offer by end of career. They are talented! They can also lose, but going to be tough to beat them. The game at Princeton, WV, is the one we have highest chance of losing in regular season. I might even pick Princeton to beat us.

Don't sleep on Martinsville. They move out of the Piedmont. And into the three rivers. Level of competition goes way down on a week to week basis.

Competition going down week by week can be a double edged sword. I’ll take your word to keep an eye on them though.

Having an easier district schedule will probably net them more wins in the regular season and give them a higher playoff seed, but adjusting to the level of playoff competition will be very tough. Glenvar, Gretna, Radford and if Appomattox can claw back in to the upper echelon of Reg C, would all be favored over Martinsville. Not saying it's impossible, but definitely improbable.

I heard the youngest Bradshaw hasn’t been at two a days all week. Doesn’t look like he’s coming after all.

Oh, he's coming. Watch practice Monday the 12th.
