GW defense is getting man handled!! Offensive game who ever has the ball last will win! LCA is playing well!! GW just keeps countering!
LCA-42 GW-42 TIED 8:42 left in the game
I could be wrong, but didn't state champion Salem give up 40+ last year to Amherst?
Good win by GW, but LCA looks like they might do something in the Seminole this year!
A win is a win, score of this game doesn't matter for next weeks game. Good job GW
That's going to be the down fall of Lca, just the numbers we fought till the last 1:30 of the game and just ran out of gas up front. We have 8 lineman so some of them play both ways and that last drive by GW just wore them down so when Lca got on offense the lineman were gassed. For Lca to be successful they will have to get out early and blow teams out to get subs in the last half of the 4th quarter
LCA has a chance to be in the playoff race as long has they can stay relatively injury free.
There's just no respect from people from Amherst even when we have beat them several times. After watching there game last night, how do you figure Lca to be 5 or 6 in the Seminole?
Whens last time LCA beat Amherst? It was preseason scrimmage games. An its not that there isn't respect thats earned. But you get into Seminole play with D that gives that amount of points up you gonna be hurting. An i say 5th because you have heritage, JF, Amherst, Glass, Brookville. An liberty, rustburg who aren't push overs. An yes i know LCA good to but your playing Bradley, Christmas, woody, watts, Phillips.
An hey they might prove me wrong but thats why I say 5 or 6.

Tommy, you are usually right on the mark. So the Seminole better be ready.
I think you missed then entire point. Someone said what kind of a heck of a team gives up 40+. Well Salem was the champs and they did, so they were obviously be a heck of a team
Without both teams making significant strides in growth last night's results will probably be viewed more about pointing up that both are pretenders not contenders in 4A by season's end. Until GW can actually learn to play defense they will not win enough games to secure a multiple week home field advantage to advance deep in the playoffs. LCA is in reality a solid 2A squad with depth concerns that eliminate any real threat that they can advance deep in to the playoffs. They can steal a few games in the Seminole if they stay healthy. GW should be fine with the swiss cheese schedule known as the Piedmont but, it will not prepare them for big boy playoff football.
My feelings have always been because of the 5th year seniors LCA had and so forth. The first time LCA beat Amherst our starting QB had to have hand surgery and wasn't able to play, granted the second time it was legit. Just like when they beat Appomattox last week when they put in the second string and LCA kept their first stringers in and then the LCA plays were pounding their chest. My nephew played for LCA several years ago. Maybe this year I will feel different about them but for now I don't care for them. They pushed their way into the VHSL
Easy to take one game and overanalyze it, which is my point. That game was also decidedly uncharacteristic of Salem and everyone knows it, the same isn't really said of LCA.
People are blowing up this game for odd reasons. Haven't really seen GW in discussions as best in the state or even the West, why would playing them close be indicative of anything but people maybe overestimating GW's ability? If GW is a 6-8 win team you'll completely ignore what happened in week 1 because it won't mean anything. If GW wins 12 games this year AND LCA is a top 2ish team in the Seminole then you can connect the dots better.
Do you think there is a greater chAnce they both just aren't that good or they were both contending squads that got in a good battle in week 1. I am leaning to the 2nd... sounds like your leaning the other way?
I am leaning towards that both are pretty good teams, the thing is we won't know about GW till the playoffs, LCA will either be exposed soon , or could beat some Seminole teams that are known to be very good. I think Glass beating Charlottesville was a very solid win, somebody better start talking about them.
I don't know how good either is and doesn't effect me whatsoever, I was actually making a positive point about your team. Just because any team gives up a lot of points in any game doesn't mean they arent a good team. If any team gives up any amount of points, as long as they score 1 point more than the opponent it doesn't matter. The same thing in reverse could be said about Sussex Central and Essex last night, they are both supposed to be contenders in 1A. Both could be heck of teams, but score was 8-0 on an INT for TD, so what was said about how can be heck of a team and giving up 40+ points, how could be heck of team and not score a single point on offense
Is Charlottesville supposed to be that good? Glass had 5 turnovers last night, that is going to hurt them if not under control
Glass had a lot of turnovers and offensive miscues last night. Charlottesville scored twice in the second half when they had a short field after a turnover. Take away the turnovers, and I think Glass would've blown Charlottesville out. They had some drives going and the running game would heat up, then... fumble. The defense had to bail the offense out so many times.You see the potential, but the offense needs a little work before Seminole District play. Basically the same things that plagued them last year were still there last night. This the deepest EC Glass team in years. The defense has the potential to be Elite. Athletes everywhere! When that offense clicks, watch out! It's only one game in, but the Seminole looks like it will be tight this year.
GW was 7-4 last year, LCA was what, 4-6? If we're talking about PO contention, sure, both will contend and at least one will probably make it. Beyond that, like the West or state? I just don't see it.
I think LCA's depth is nearly insurmountable, especially as the season will go on (in theory this will be the healthiest LCA ever is) and GW struggling with LCA doesn't infuse me with confidence in their ability. I don't think either team will be particularly bad but I just don't think this was a closely fought battle between titans.
I am going to disagree here , because although defense might not be important against another team that can't play defense , it will show up later in the season when you play a team that has a good defense. Show up against Dinwiddie without a defense and you get shut out. I understand your point , but I am just a defensive guy , good teams figure out a way to score, but great teams shut good offense down. IMO.
That was last year though. Don't you realize that Salem gave up 40+ last year and still won it all. It happens. These are 16-18 year old kids, things like this can happen week to week. As good as Monacan is they gave up 2 TDs to Hanover. Doesn't mean Monacan isn't a good team. Hell Highland Springs lost to a bad MBK team last year. LCA was ready to play and hit GW in the mouth. We won and are moving on to Amherst.
And Kam Chancellor was a 2* and now an All-Pro. But he is not the norm. Neither is teams giving up 40 points in a game and winning state. Using the exception to the rule to govern all logic usually leads to bad results.
I don't think LCA is a great team, therefore I see GW giving up 42 as a big question mark to how good they are if their goal this year is the West and/or state. Maybe LCA runs the table with 35 players or whatever and is the greatest team in the history of the state but I tend to doubt it and I think pumping up LCA to try and push aside GW giving up 42 is short-sighted.
@DanvilleSportsHead We know what we have in GW this year! Just going to have to prove to the doubter that we can play with the big boys when playoff time come around. 1 game at a time!
