Good luck to the Devils. I'd love to see them and the Wave bring back titles. Could well happen.

I don't follow the game the way I use to, but since the mid 70's one thing that you could always count on was that the teams east of Bluefield would be over-rated and the teams west of Bluefield would be under-rated. Didn't always mean a title, but it sure did a bunch of times. Too many SW Va. Football title winning upsets to count.

I hope all 3 SWVA schools bring back a title. I think all 3 have a good shot (you don't get to this game without being pretty good)

I DO NOT see GC getting blown out regardless based on the type of team they are.....The Gretna/GC game is starting to sound alot like the Bath/Appy game from 89 (No way was Appy going to win that one......till they did)

Odds would probably be like 5-1 Gretna or something. To me the key is whether or not Dustin Jones is able to play for GC. He's their best coverage guy, and he can turn the table in field position with one punt. GC will have to bend and not break on D, similar to the GW game this past week, and keep a ton of pressure on the QB, keeping everything in front of themselves. Eat up clock with every drive making it one possession per quarter for each team or so. If they can do that, they definitely have a chance.

The thing about those matchup scores is they miss the neighborhood of the score spread 75% of the time..and miss the winner about a third of the time. Can't rely on someone or something that has never seen a school play to predict a score.

They're also projecting Buffalo Gap to beat C'wood, 31-21. It's possible, but I don't think that's how it'll shake out.

I know it is worthless. Just something to add to the discussion. Myself I expect GC to win every game they play. Even if it were against the Dallas Cowboys. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
