IMO, (which means nothing) Gretna is the best team in the first 3 Divisions D1-D3. I'm not as nuts as some of those people on VA Preps who believe they could play with Amherst.

If the games are close and the VHSL has their way about it, no region D teams will win. That's doubly so for a LPD team.
Gretna did not play a AAA North Carolina school. They played a 4AA North Carolina school. The school was Davie County high school, with an enrollment of just under 1900 students in four grades. The reason I know this is because I was there.
I now live in Davie county and a buch of co-workers (all Davie natives) and myself met at the game. I guess they thought since this was a small single A school from Virginia then it was a sure win for them. They tried to give me a hard time during the game but I got to walk out the gate afterwards with a big smile on my face.

I for one am not counting GC out. These kids have beaten the odds every week. I remember all the talk about how it was between PV and Leb. Then there was no way GC could beat PV. Then GW. If you have Tyler Parks on your side you have a chance.
This kid has the biggest heart of any kid I have ever seen play at GC. He deserves a ring. I hope he gets his Saturday.
GCs fortunes got better as their O-line got better IMO..
I couldn't remember if it was AAA or AAAA. Fact of the matter is GC needs a miracle to win this one, anybody who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. However, miracles do happen.
IMO ball control and tough D slays giants...
Agreed, I just dont think they can control the clock. People talk about Tyler Parks and while I agree he is one of the best running backs in Region D he's not DJ Coles. We all seen what Gretna did to Coles. Gretna will be the best team GC's faced all year (including Richlands) they will have to line up behind Jones and get 3 yards a pop and pray. GC must play a perfect game to return with the trophy. Are you going up there?
Guys, I don't care who you areand how good you are, if you lay the ball on the ground, you can get beat. That's why they play the game.
