East Rock vs Strasburg
- Thread starter BullRun66
- Start date
Back when they had the state split in half, one year a 16 seed upset a 1 seed. It was either Class 3 or 4. For some reason I want to say it was Harrisonburg, but I might be wrong
Waynesboro. Beat 1 seed Hidden Valley. Then beat Liberty maybe? And came close to beating Western Albemarle
I see east rock keeping it close in the first half kind of like they did with central earlier in the year. 2nd half strasburg pulls away forcing a few turnovers. But if east rock can get a few stops early on with their offense they can score some points. 35-21 final
Like some have already said, hard to beat a team twice. Strasburg kinda benefited in the first matchup (28-0) with rain (Hurricane Ian). Will be interesting, because passing was the only way Central could move the ball.
I think Strasburg wins, but East Rockingham did beat Luray by 21, when Luray was undefeated. Anything can happen when you're dealing with 15-18 year old kids.
East Rock is a sneaky team. They can be a matchup problem for some teams. Strasburg did not seem to have a problem with them, though. East Rock will throw them a new wrinkle or two and make it closer, but Strasburg should still get the W. I do not expect a blowout.
Draft is VERY well coached. That will keep them in it... I expect a low-scoring game. I just don't think Draft is seasoned enough on offense to score enough points to win against Strasburg.
