No one ever said how the home teams would be determined this year.
Their pairings page has the AA & AAA matchups listed as away vs. home, so assuming they have A listed that way, too, then the home teams will be Galax & Goochland... both of which are the highest remaining seeds (#1).
I watched a few clips on Galax, I dont see anything impressive, kinda fast but not really, dont hit, small line, idk how they made it this far. Decent passing game but with CW's D line bringing the pressure I dont think it will matter. You hit the brothers in the mouth they will quit. I change my prediction. Clintwood 24 Galax 7
I watched some video on them on youtube and they do look very small, but fast. I remember back when I was playing and started playing GC again they had a bunch of small, tall and fast guys and killed us. I really do believe CW has a great chance, but Galax also earned the right to be there as well I dont see it as a blowout but a hard fought game and whoever makes the least mistakes takes home the prize!Quote:

Galax would have been a West team though.Quote:

I feel like Clintwood will pull off the win due to hard hitting, slobber knocking, GOOD OLE BOY football. Clintwood 21 Galax 14
Just a quick check of the weather tells you that it could be a factor in the game. It's gonna be COLD folks. Per weather.com currently, the projected high is going to be 39 and partly cloudy. Only an 8 mph breeze expected, but you know how stuff like that can funnel through a stadium and bring the temp down another 5-6 degrees. The turf may be slick just from the cold, and any of the hard licks that either team puts on the other are going to sting a little more than normal. Only 10% chance of precipitation, but who knows.

You obviously watched old footage. Galax has burned every team they faced with speed, passing and solid tackling. They have been vastly under sized in the past 3 games. Honaker was the biggest sized team they faced all year and Lunenburg average lineman weight was 235. Give credit where credit is deserved, Galax turned it around last year and are playing some amazing football. Galax has several advantages against Clintwood. Athleticism, speed, PASSING, and a ex-NFL player turned coach. No doubt this game as much hype but Galax will not be stopped. These brothas want get hit in the mouth because you aint gonna catch'em and if you do then Deon George will burn you for a 50yd TD in the air. Galax 42 > Clintwood 14
If Galax can keep there QB in 1 piece that is ;)Quote:
