Who's your pick for Salem?
- Thread starter BCKnights
- Start date
My pick would be KW/Appomattox but since everyone is picking that, I'll say Draft v Glenvar just to be different
No clue but I’m hoping Graham, lol! They have a rough path to get there though. Region D is tough from here on out. Then getting past Region C champ will be a tall task for whomever comes out of D.
Hate to pick against Draft but it will be KW and Graham, and that will be a helluva game with that kind of speed on both sides.
KW running back is D1 and runs a 4.36
That boy Fasssst. Anyway I just hope our Raiders can make it again. They have not been playing to strong lately though.
I know Riverheads handed to SD twice this year. Really haven't watched no full games of KW, Graham or Nottoway.
May the best teams meet !!!

I think Graham has a sneaky tough road, prob the hardest road of any 2A team left. A Union team that almost won at Graham earlier in year (although Graham has only improved since then and Bears been up and down), a Wise-Central team that is absolutely clicking right now if they win v. Ridgeview (I think they will despite first meeting L), then the 2C winner.
Graham could absolutely be there in Salem but don't be shocked if they get tripped up. That's a very very tough road to hoe.

I agree on Graham's road to the finals. Very tough. I think King William's road is up there close to Graham. King William is hosting a very dangerous team next weekend in Poquoson. Poquoson plays arguably the toughest schedule in the 2A class year in and year out, and if you look at Poquoson's losses outside of Lafayette, they involved major self destruction and penalties and turnovers. They are much better than their record. I think King William is well aware of that and will be prepared. After Poquoson for KW, is Nottoway. Nottoway may be on the same level as KW, Graham, and Appomattox and Draft, but the Cougars have kind of flown over under the radar all year long. They have major talent on that team. Great speed, size, and athleticism. Their schedule isn't the strongest, but they have absolutely taken opponents apart. Then for KW, if both get that far, Draft, the heavy favorite in Region B is still the team to beat in the East until someone steps up. Overall, I think Graham's road is very difficult, but King William's is also very tough.
The above is only assumptions about IF teams like Nottoway, Graham, KW, Draft, Appo keep winning. I don't mean to be disrespectful to any other team not mentioned because anything can happen and on the right day, any of the above teams mentioned could lose next weekend.
As for the state title game and picks. I'm going to go with a a three-peat. I think it's Stuarts Draft by the skin of their teeth over King William and Appo by the skin of their teeth over Graham. I think it's round three for Draft and Appo. If King William or Nottoway or Graham were there, no surprise to me. Outside of the above teams mentioned, if there were a team to make the state finals other than Draft, Appo, Graham, or KW, I think it would be Union or Poquoson.

I think this season there so many that could be there , the big question is who can handle the pressure of winning 5 games for the title ! Appomattox knows what it takes they been there and won a few , draft has a tough road to get there and they can’t beat appo then the new teams on block KW and Nottaway they have been here a few times back in the day then you got those guys from region D. Always a battle in the semifinals to get to Salem from union , graham . Have to win your region and take one game at a time ,Dec 11 2021 will be a fun day .
