JIB and GC should both be ahead of Colonial Beach. They're a farce.

Here come the Generals.

Is Cwood or JIB good enough this year to compete with William Campbell or Buffalo Gap in a potential state title? Ive not been able to really get an idea on either of those schools.

[pvfan]

IMO yes. CW has a better shot than JI Burton.

[curveball08]

What style of offense does William Campbell play? If Buffalo Gap is like they were last year then they play an offense similar to Cwood and I think that Cwood can match up well with that.

Consider the voting. I'm surprised any SW VA teams are ever ranked.

I agree its a wonder that anyone in eastern virginia even realizes that we have schools and football teams around here lol.

[pvfan]

Why would they vote for us? We've won one state title in football in the last 10 years.

[Ironlung]

Why would they vote for Colonial Beach who's never won one, ever? Or even made it to one? Or Buffalo Gap who'd never won one till last year? They should try to base it on a yearly basis. Not what was done last year or 10 years ago.
