**imported_biggamesjames** · December 13th, 2005, 12:22 PM

Season is over so time to post final rankings for SWVA football.

1. Richlands...tough loss in championship game
2. Graham
3. Burton...good showing for the Raiders this year
4. Haysi...not many would've had them here in preseason
5. George Wythe....Maroons lost to a really good Giles team
6. Rural Retreat
7. Tazewell
8. Powell Valley...All things considered not a bad year
9. Honaker...Very veteran group had to be disappointed
10. Gate City

swap 4 and 5

"swap 4 and 5"

Yeah all of them are debatable...you could just as easily say swap 3 and 4. Just an opinion...if you consider Haysi and George Wythe it could go either way but I go with Haysi at #4 because they lost the same amount of games as GW but Haysi went one step farther in the playoffs. Both were spanked by eventual state champion Giles so I don't really see how that a GW team that lost to Lebanon and had to win in overtime just to make it to the Region C championship could be ranked ahead of Haysi...once again just my opinion...if you could explain your thought on that maybe I will agree I don't know.

I agree. 2 thru 10 is interchangable.Having see both GW and Haysi play this season. IMO I just believe GW was a better team. Thats all, nothing personal.

Don't worry I would never take anything on a message board personal unless it had my name in it [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Out of curiousity which games did you see from each team? Alot of how a team looks depends on who they are playing and what part of the season its in. Some teams look completely different at the end of the season than they did at the beginning...example: Haysi/Honaker...Honaker won the game in September but never really even challenged Haysi in their November playoff meeting.

As for the GW/Lebanon game you mentioned, I just think Lebanon matched up well with GW. Also Lebanon controled Davis (QB) from running wild, and crammed the ball down GW's throat most of the night. It was a very well played ball game on both sides.

Rankings or someone's opinion?

Big difference there, bubba.

"Rankings or someone's opinion?
Big difference there, bubba."

Can you tell me what the difference is then? I thought all rankings were someone's opinion or a group of people whether it be the media or whatever. Of course what I posted was just my opinion...any rankings that ANYONE will post is exactly the same thing: OPINION. I didn't say mine was better than anyone elses and I even offered for others to post their's.

Where is Giles? They are SW VA too.

Maybe in his opinion they aren't located in SWVA. All it comes down to is one person's opinion, at least that is what it looks like.
I guarantee if Haysi doesn't win Region D next year, he won't be on here running his yapper. Just like he wasn't running it last year (2004) or the year before. He's a "Sunny Day Boy" if I have ever seen one.
