Is anyone giving fort chisel a chance in this game?
Not much. FC is improved, but Graham is the best High School 2A team I have seen this year. They are faster than Appointment or Dan River. It took the final minute and a few seconds for them to beat us at Giles, but objectively looking at both teams, Graham is much better. I don't know about the East, but I think Graham is the best team in the West. I think they come out on top of Appo, Dan River, Richland, Union, and Giles. I actually don't see them losing even if on the road at Appo or any of the teams above if it were the case.
Anything can happen and the above is just one guys opinion. Graham could lose the first round by 21 points or win by 21. Only time will tell. I will tell you this....you do not want to draw them in the playoffs. What makes them unique from the past Giles or Richlands teams in recent past is their ability to easily run it and throw it. Put 8 in the box and they have about 4-5 guys with blazing speed that run by the defense for easy pass receptions. Play coverage and they have arguably the best 2A back in the state plus 2-3 other guys that can house it on any play. Added to the above, their defense is very fast and they can stack the box because of their ability to play man in the secondary.
