    Essex vs Grayson County

    Essex played GC in 2003 Championship. The week before essex played James Monroe. Some argued JM should have been D3. 2 years later JM was moved up to D3. The AD at JM complained and wanted JM to stay at D2... anyway. To your point above, for the players, they can only play the teams they are...

    Essex..Grayson..State game thoughts

    I hope for the sake of the Blue Devils players their fans show up for them. The first time Essex reached the State Championship there was only about 200 essex fans, I was one of them. There was about 4000 fans for the other team.

    Essex..Grayson..State game thoughts

    I was talking with coach jones before the game started with altavista. We were standing on the hill watching the altavista players warm up. Normally jones is business like before a game. He seemed nervous that day. IMO he is feeling some pressure to get is done this year.

    Essex vs Grayson County

    As a long time essex fan, I've seen my share of disappointments with essex in the state championship. I'll be there pulling for them this year as usual ( with my fingers crossed ).

    Essex..Grayson..State game thoughts

    as a long time essex fan, I have seen my share of disappointments in state championship games with essex. Could write about all the reasons why but at the end of the day, essex needs to find a way to get it done. Especially considering how many chances they have had.

    Essex vs Grayson County

    Essex has the advantage with size and experience. The blue devils have never been to the state Championship. Both teams have speed. And if you believe those computer projections. Calpreps is projecting essex with a 80% probability on winning.

    State Semifinal Matchups

    An injury to a key player can be challening to any team especially in the playoffs. Last year essex lost their leading rusher Jaden Holmes in the second round and had to play the regional championship, state semi and state final without holmes on the field. That lost impacted essex for sure, but...

    Class 1 Championship

    Having an explosive office is fun to watch ( depending on your point of view ) but a great defense wins championships. Essex has shown the best the defense of any team in D1 this year. points allowed by each team... Essex: 132 Galax: 294 As a trojan fan I'm a little bias but in any case I'm...

    Jaden Holmes?

    Huge loss for sure. Prayers for Jaden. There maybe a silver lining here. With other players getting more touches during the season # 9 should be relatively fresh for this time year.
