    Appo Raiders vs Radford Bobcats....Round 3

    Look at google maps to see how to access the parking on the visitors side of the stadium. Turn off Main St. onto Walker Street and go past the stadium which is on the left and turn left on 6th Street and then go left at the next intersection which takes you to the visitor side parking. There is...

    Giles VS Appomattox - Postseason 1st Round

    We will have the privilege of losing to the Raiders for the third year in a row. Man that trip to Appomattox is getting old. 2 1/2 hours and Friday afternoon traffic on 81 and 460 is awful. Raiders can win by whatever they want to win by. Coach Smith is a class guy and I don't look for him...

    Radford at Glenvar

    Haven't seen Radford play but very impressed with Glenvar. Hard to measure by Glenvar's game with Giles because we aren't very good. If Glenvar can contain Prioleau then they should win. Obviously turnovers, penalties etc can have an impact but Glenvar was solid on both sides of the ball...

    COACHING CRITICISMS

    Coach Ragsdale said after he retired that sports had no purpose in education unless it was educational, meaning that it should be used to teach kids life lessons. We often think of coaches as PE teachers. He taught upper level math. There are up and down years in football. Giles is on a...

    Glenvar vs. Giles

    One coach told me earlier this year that one of our players had played in 8 or 9 different positions (offense and defense combined). We played extremely well for a quarter and a half against James River which was surprising. We were one or two close pass breakups from winning that game but...

    Graham.

    So you didn't like watching the Noles last night? Too worried about dancing around before the kickoff rather than playing football. Saban would go bezerk if his kickoff team did that although I realize that is perhaps FSU's tradition.

    Across the Mountian Brawl is tonight

    I'm assuming you were disappointed by half of the good football part. BBurg had fun I'm sure, but Giles not so much. No argument on the friends part! Not sure we tackled Taquez once. Giles is young and inexperienced. We have a lot of growing up to do this year. Hopefully it happens...

    Interesting Article

    The article is correct in that part of the problem is that kids are becoming one sport athletes with fall baseball, year round basketball and soccer as examples. This is ok at the bigger schools but hurts the smaller schools particularly in 1 and 2A. The fact that Manassas Park and PV Sterling...

    Winners and that's directly related to Doug Smith. Credit Appo

    Congrats to APPO on the 3 peat. Unfortunately for the rest of us success breeds success and generates more interest in the program and kids want to play. Have to agree with the APPO posters that the defense wasn't what it was last year but alsoLee was a much better team than what I expected...

    Agree that adjustments at half were a big difference. Didnt understand Lee strategy of giving Appo short field on kickoffs. A kicker who can consistently put it in the ens zone is a big weapon in HS

    Appo is making a lot of mistakes. They have hurt themselves and having trouble stopping the run consistently. Not sure why Appo has given up on the run either. Questionable play calling

    Games moved to Sunday

    The issue is the travel. Forecast is for 6-8 inches in Richmond. 6-8 inches of snow in Williamsburg and Hampton will shut those places down. Just saw a video posted by Alabama Football and it's snowing in Tuscaloosa and the ground is covered. Some friends are travelling from San Antonio to...
