My Dawgs are gonna surprise some teams this year. We lost a bit due to graduation but be aware!!!!!
Keep your eye on those Martinsville Bulldawgs
- Thread starter AntGZee
- Start date
Care to explain a little more? I know about the WR Pettway(sp?) but who else will contribute? I watched them when they came to Bluefield last playoffs and thought they were a very good team but I thought I read they lost a lot?
Martinsville didn't lose a ton in terms of numbers, but did lose a fair amount of key players. MHS only had one QB on the roster a year ago. And when he wasn't on the field, they went wildcat. Both of those guys graduated. A huge chunk of the line play is gone as well.
The Dogs do welcome a kid back to town that had moved away for a few years that is a potential game changer. He is just the type of athlete that could flourish in a spread.
To me, the obvious questions are at QB and on the lines. Then can the kids adjust to a new coach and system all while playing a fairly brutal schedule that includes GW, Magna Vista, William Byrd and Dan River? That's a gauntlet.

Well said Mayberryite!! The Dawgs' will be strong at RB. If the D and O line can play solid, then we'll be a team to deal with. I will be on VaPreps to give my 2 cents worth.

Rb and wr will be well stocked, if they get just adequate qb play they should be able to score. Should be very quick all over the field this year but as old Mayberry said alot will tell on line play and if they can survive the early schedule with 5 of the first 6 games on the road. Time will tell
Martinsville had good size to their line last season. Do they return a lot on the line? If so then I agree that they should be very dangerous. Their new coach likes to spread it out and throw it around. He had success with a team that wasn't very athletic. It will be interesting to see how the Martinsville kids do with this offense.
I've got Martinsville in my Top 10........Team speed and athletes! I think they will catch fire late in the season and win a game in the postseason.
