I think you forgot the minus symbol lol.
Same. Go Hawks!
Me too. Not being over in first half would be win for me. Lol
A running clock only in the 4th quarter would be a good performance for the Hawks. I think the only Dogwood team with a chance of doing that to Appo is Chatham because of their offense. Chatham is going to run and pound Appo every single play and may have a few drives that take a couple of minutes off the clock. Appo still would win big but the score won't look as bad with the way Chatham plays offense.
Took a look at Chatham last night they are coming along pretty good. By the time they face Appo we will have certain key players back which should make a big difference on defense.
How did you see Chatham last night? Some online film? Their game against Martinsville is tonight. I might catch that one then watch Dan River vs. Altavista Friday night. Chatham is pretty good right now with a lot of upperclassmen and should be good again next year but with no JV team and no underclassmen, I don't know how good they'll be after these two years. Plus there's no telling how long Jack Turner stays around.
I keep looking for that info but haven't heard anything out of either school. It's like they both want to imagine the game disappeared. I wonder if they learned something from the was Pittsylvania County/ Dogwood got 2 of the 4 Region 2C teams last year since Dan River didn't have to play Appo and take a loss. If Chatham never plays Gretna, neither team takes a loss and drops. Neither team gets a win and bumps up either. I'm just disappointed that it looks like the game won't be played. I always try to watch the Pittsylvania County schools play each other and since Chatham and Gretna look like the best two PCS schools this year it would've been an interested game.
I am almost of the opinion you should be required to make up in district games or have a certain number of minimum contests for postseason participation. In earlier years if you did not play a team in your district that was within 2 classifications of you then you were not eligible for postseason play. If COVID could be used to duck games, which I am not saying is the instance here, but certainly could be in different circumstances, then if I was a Dogwood team I would conveniently be sick on Appomattox week, just like if I was a 1A team I would conveniently be sick when the Red Team was on the schedule. I am sure there are plenty of other districts who could think of their own major opponent dip, duck, dive, and dodge from.
Yeah you saw us when we were very low on having starters available, some stil not back and our qb not back to full speed now and not playing any defense. I have subscription to NFHS so i can watch any game. It's not bad for watching a game already played, but live streaming makes me want to shoot the tv with a shotgun. Lol
IMHO Those wins were practices. Yes Chatham does seem to get better in late season. Tonights game will atleast show if they are improving.
Also means the dogwood should be called deadwood this year, it's very weak. Dang i remember back in the day when Martinsville was playing E C Glass and whipping them circa the early 70's.
People have been talking Chatham up as a good team but their wins are against:
It's like college teams making bowls versus not making a bowl game. Bowl teams get an extra 4-6 weeks of practice and continually get better. It really adds up over the course of a few years. Covid was a whole nother deal that canceled full seasons for teams. Kind of makes Martinsville more impressive in getting to 3-3 after not playing at all last year and going winless in 2019.
I agree with your thinking as it does make sense. Personally did not know Martinsville did not play during spring season.
Actually haven't played any sports since the Winter 2019-2020 season. Their poor spring sports lost both the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but regardless, hats off to Coach Martin and the Dogs. They hung close with a surging Halifax too! Could easily finish 4-6 or 5-5
Yea I knew Chatham had really played down this year so far. I think WC beats them next week and are probably fourth in district. It's looking like my Hawks might be the second best team in district that still doesn't say much. Know everyone here is proud of what Coach Miller is doing regardless of how rest of season goes. They are also very young. Pittsylvania County teams are down this year but they too barely had a spring season. County wouldn't even let them practice until all other teams had already started playing games. Then came up with that revised only county schedule. Just about could say none of the county teams have really got to play in two years and it shows.
What a shame! No reason they couldn't have played and waded the same waters that all of the other teams did.
Coach Miller is doing a great job with Gretna. They are very young. My nephew played the whole second half at LB. He just got called up to varsity as a freshman a couple of weeks ago.
I know I might hurt some feelings but the truth is, we had a school board member lose a family member to Covid. This individual did not even want our schools or sports to open back up this school year. Fought tooth and nail to stop the little mini season we had in the spring. Very touchy subject and I feel for his lose but grief is what is costing our children in this county their future. We have school board elections in November and you can rest assure this will be fixed as parents in this county are irrate. They were protesting at school board meetings but now they have labeled that as domestic terrorism and FBI can lock these mom's up. I stated to them just vote in November if you didn't like it. That's all you can do. I'm sure I've hit some nerves with this subject. I just got call from school this week stating if masks are not on at sporting events they will shut them down.
No has nothing to do about who you playing as I have seen some suspicious of timing with each opponent. They have pretty heated conversation on that on D1 boards. The fight to close our school is pretty much over and they know it.
