8,9,10 should be ahead of 5,6,7 just saying give the east more credit outside of galax and gw none of the other west teams would win a head to head match against anyone of the these five teams out of the east come on man lets be more realistic on here folks.

He just copied and pasted this. This poll is the one that Virginia Preps did not Blaster. But as someone from the East who has seen film on all the top teams out West including the 3 you are referring to in Hurley, PM and FC, I definitely would not say it's a guarantee that any team would beat them. FC holds a 33-21 win over Galax while PM holds a 50-14 win over FC. Hurley is undefeated and despite their schedule not being as strong as some the fact is they've dominated everyone on their schedule and has everyone back from last years team that beat PM in the playoffs and played Galax tough. It will all come to light soon enough but until then why don't we all as adults just have adult conversations about things. We are in fact talking about high school kids here and plenty of these kids read these posts. What kind of an example are we as adults setting for these kids if so many adults on here act like kids. Nothing wrong with being passionate about the sport and whomever your school is but do it in a respectable manner. And this isn't just directed at you woodslayer but anyone on here who feels the need to disrespect other teams or try to purposely start an argument. I enjoy hearing all the insight on here from people all over the state but only when it's done in a positive manner.

4 PM
5 Galax
6 Altavista
7 Franklin
8 Colonial Beach
9 Central Lunenburg
10 FC

I must add in a pre-season scrimmage, PM manhandled Central Lunenburg. I'm wanting to say something like 42-0. Just a scrimmage I know but still. Cant wait til Nov!

 

[oldballcoach13]

Correction....
Hurley in at #7. FC out.

 

[woodlayer#952002]

I m not trying to start an argument I'm just being honest that's the problem with the world today everyone is so up tight stop sugar coating everything for these kids and tell them the truth because when they get out in the real world know one will hold there hand this is not little league where everyone get a trophy. As far as the top ten list goes Hurley, PM, and Fort would not win a playoff game against anyone of the five teams from the east that is on the list they probably wouldn't against Essex or Colonial beach not trying to be harsh but that's just the way the cookie crumbles I don't beat around the bush I go through it that's just my motto and if this offend anyone I'm sorry I'm just being honest

I seriously doubt that you were at that scrimmage; if so, you and I watched two different scrimmages. I was there, and I just watched it again on hudl to be sure of what you are saying.
Central's 1st team offense had the ball first and drove to the 10 or 15 before running out of plays(10). We had a fumble that PM recovered during the drive.
PM's 1st team offense scored twice against us in their 10 plays, but one was called back due to a block in the back. I believe that would make the score 7-0(14-0 w/o clip)
Central's 2nd team offense went against PM's 2nd defense towards the end of the scrimmage and did not move the ball well. PM's 2nd offense did not go against Central in the scrimmage.
PM is very talented and were without the Nelson kid when we matched up against them. We were missing one of our star backs/receiver/safety as well.
Get your facts straight before running your mouth.

Yeah these aren't my pick for top 10 I just bring them over from the homepage for everyone to see.

 

[kwhs95fan]

Rankings aren't always based on who beat who. Galax has beaten GW also but I don't have them over GW. In college last week Penn State beat Ohio State but that doesn't mean Penn State goes from unranked to the top 10 just so they can be ahead of Ohio State. As for the kids I totally agree about not sugar coating anything for any of the kids. But when they go on a message board and see a bunch of adults acting like kids then they aren't getting much of an example set. That's what I was referring to more than anything. Fine line between sugar coating and actual sportsmanship and some don't really know what that line is

 

[THEGOATFROMJMU]

The bottom line is that non traditional powers who play light schedules and have no/little recent post season success usually aren't viewed as elite.

Grayson County comes to mind a couple years ago.....

I would put Hurley and PM in this same boat.

 

[Xcross]

In other words prove yourself in the post season and then people will give you a little respect !

 

[RedPrideNation_RollPride]

I agree that having a history of success in the post season is somewhat important. Thing is there is always those teams that just transition into being an elite team for a while and they dont have that history up to that point. Both Blaster and the red team supporters have had a fairly long run of successful teams but it wasnt always that way. Not trying to start a war but current success is not really based on last years team. Sure there is some carry over of players and belief in the system but most teams do not just churn out 8+ win regular seasons year in and year out with deep runs into the playoffs. Let's see if the "surprise" teams this year make that transition. I absolutely hope the red team dominates everyone they play and brings the championship back to G-ville but there are also about 7 other teams that have impressed me so far this year. Good luck to all the contenders unless we face off.

This is the same Fort team that no one gave a shot at beating Galax, including myself. Schedules really are overrated anyway. It's all about the game your playing on that day. How good can your coach game plan for the team in front of him. Some can some can not. I would love to eat some turkey and watch Fort practice on that same day. Something about Thanksgiving and Football, gotta love it.

 

[Xcross]

Wilson was very good two years ago and many were ready for them to make a run at long term success . Looks like they were one and done ! Since they copy everything Casto does , Wilson fans thought they would be back year after year ???? Not as easy as he makes it look ! There is a lot more to long term success at this level . 3A . 4A get a lot of skill players witch may or may not make a coach look good ! imo

 

[Sports talk89]

In my opinion there should be an outside source that makes the schedules for high schools. Redo the districts to be very competitive and play different schools each year for the front 5. Put smaller schools against each other. For example put narrows, bland, holston,pH glade spring, twin valley norlrthwood. And the George wythe, radford, galax, giles, fortchiswell, parry mccleur. Every game would be interesting

 

[CallMeCoach19]

I would love to see Giles, PM, and GW in the same schedule year after year...never happen though. Economical mindset is defining districts. Competition comes second to hemorrhaging money.

 

[PaPaMoose]

Years ago, PM and Giles played one another.

 

[CallMeCoach19]

Years ago, PM and Giles played one another.

As did Giles and GW. I just don't see those particular AD's and coaches coming to an agreement on football unless it becomes the district. Plus Three Rivers is finally getting to be an all 2A or higher section, so there won't be any leaving.

 

[Sports talk89]

As I said before take the power away from the ad's and let someone outside the schools set the schedule. Have a strong district and play strong other opponents like keeping rivalry going. And as far as money who wouldn't want to pay and travel to see gw play Giles instead of gw and Holston or Giles and bland or narrow

 

[RedPrideNation_RollPride]

Xcross, evaluation and utilization of talent is what separates the top tier teams from the mediocre teams. Coaches at the HS level have to be good at that and be able to recruit typically non football students to come out and buy in to the program. Every school we have discussed on here has more athletes walking the halls than those on the football team. The consistently good schools don't have as high a percentage as those that struggle. Look to Stonewall, they were a powerhouse 15 years ago and now they struggle to get players out. They have a similar student population but barely have enough to run 11 on 11 in practice. This is what happens in my opinion anyway.

Galax plays all of those schools already with the exception of PM and if I am not mistaken they have the smallest enrollment of all them. I don't know about PM's enrollment.

I'm thinking of other sports as well. I think in football people would love those matchups. But is anyone going to travel to watch Narrows Volleyball beat on Hurley? Is anyone traveling to see Giles Soccer slaughter PM. And those buses, drivers, and officials require cash. And sure thy do that already, but geographic factors make it less cash.
I'm not saying I don't like the idea. I love it! I just want to point out the reasoning for these lackluster matchups.
And Giles County has dictated that Giles/Narrows will always occur. They are out of district/conference already.

Lol you knew I'd respond...

I realize you're from Sussex, so you were born with a big mouth. May I ask, where exactly has Sussex been the past few years? They're not exactly a powerhouse either. You are the champions of the lip-n-curl come playoff time though....you run your lip, then you curl up in the fetal when you get smacked around.

I agree with you also to add to what you were saying instead of having scrimmages 1A should have exhibition games between the best of the east and west at neutral sites in the pre season. franklin use to have exhibition games against AAA schools until the beat Lakeland then know one want to play anymore nobody wants to lose to a single A school especially if you are a 5A school but that was back in 2012 or 2010 cant remember the exact year but this would be awesome this way everyone would get to see some stiff competition. just a thought

well I'm sorry that you feel that way towards Sussex and Franklin your team must have fell victim in the past.

 

[mmqp]

well I'm sorry that you feel that way towards Sussex and Franklin your team must have fell victim in the past.

As I said, you run your mouth now. But you'll be crying later. I still remember the year that you clowns had declared Sussex and Franklin the state champs. GW kicked your mouthy butts and Sussex...well they cried "racism" for 3+ years because they got their butts handed to them.

You wrote your post looking for a fight, you got one with me big mouth.

 

[20Bronco06]

Guess everyone just hates the tri rivers district lol

 

[THEE_LEGEND_KILLER]

That's what everyone from down that way was saying two years ago. Strong Washington and Lee team will beat PM. We went to their place and POUNDED that *** before losing to Alta Vista the next week.

 

[kwhs95fan]

W&L is not even close to Sussex or Franklin bud. About 2 and a half hours or so away. Both were in the old Region A but that is about it. W&L is in the Northern Neck district with teams such as Essex & Colonial Beach.

 

[woodlayer#952002]

You wrote your post looking for a fight, you got one with me big mouth.

First off nobody was talking to you and I didn't write the post to start anything I was just simply stating the obvious the east has better teams then the west this year but I hope GW make deep in to the playoffs this year so Sussex or franklin can come drag them up and down the field and for the record GW barley won in 2012 when they came to the armory it was one bad play call that cost franklin that game they were driving on you all and coach called a stupid pass play and it was a bad pass that went striate to the defender it wasn't like the back was playing good d the ball sailed and landed in his hands so don't get up here and lie to these people who wasn't at the game and act like it was a total domination. I'm praying GW gets the 1 SEED IN THE WEST.LETS GO GW MORONS

Also If I recall the I never heard anybody calling you all racist the police officers were standing on your sidelines and heard one of your fans being racist and they got escorted out of the stadium I believe that to be factual you can take that up with the officers on what they heard.it is what it is LETS GO GW MORONS .

W&L wasn't that strong they weren't a title contender that so pump your brakes buddy Everybody knew Essex or AltaVista were going to win it all that year so take a chill pill PM is a mediocre team in the west dude just face the facts buddy. I do give it to the west you guys are deeper than the east meaning the west is full of middle of the pack teams but the east is top heavy this year we taking the championship this year I m going on record I just don't see any way the west come out on top this year. LETS GO GW MORONS

Sussex may not be a powerhouse but they definitely have been SUCCESSFUL! In the last 18 years their record is 162-54. Two state championship appearances (1-1), three state SEMI-appearances, two undefeated regular seasons, ONLY MISSED the playoffs ONCE(MISSED THE PLAYOFFS TWICE IN SCHOOL HISTORY). If I go back to the 80’s and 90’s the stats get BETTER LOL. Basically I think other programs would love to have Sussex Central High Football team’s track record.

And to reference the game in 2012, Sussex was up 26-6 and had 2 or 3 tds called back in the second half. The final score was 40-48…not pulling the race card but something went wrong. Either way they lost so it is what it is….but please show a little respect. Thanks
