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!Originally Posted by gchs_devils
i said defense wins,they have never saw a defence as good as clintwood has,thay have few receivers that are tall,but we can stay with there speed,i say,just like ever other team we played in playoffs,hit em hard,we win,i think Galax belongs in state championship,Clintwoods wins,LPD Pride,,,,GO BIG GREEN
I'm a sports Analyst and Its clear with some of the messages I reading right now that you all haven't done ANY true research on Galax High School's football team, cause if you did then you would know that Galax isn't undefeated by accident by no means. Let me just quote some FACTS for all those who think that Clintwood is just going to show up and rule this game...Galax has beaten 2 Double A schools this year and has held like 8 opponents under 10 points this season and what you all DON'T know is if it wasn't for the head coach taking the starters out for the most part at the START of the 2nd half then they very well probably would have held EVERY team they've played this year under 10pts...HERES SOME FACT FOR YOU ALL: 92% of the points scored on Galax this year was AFTER coach Dixon took his starters out, and also another News flash, Galax HAS played teams with the size that Clintwood has both Double A schools that Galax played this year were just as big IF NOT bigger then Clintwood and The Maroon Tide took both those teams to the woodshed!! And the biggest FACT I want to bring to the GreenWaves attention that NONE of you all seem to be wanting to acknowledge is that Grayson County's "speed" blew you all out with a 61-6 victory believe....And Galax beat Grayson 21-6 which would of been worse considering Galax had 3 touchdowns called back on bogus penalties that even Grayson fans are saying were bogus! Grayson was a team who was #1 in the STATE in scoring and Galax held them to 6 points and ALL of there running backs to under 50yrds rushing. Honaker, who runs a very simular smash mouth type offense as Clintwood has a running back who was averaging almost 200yrds a game and just came off of a playoff game in which he rushed for 298yrds, went down to Galax and was HELD to ONLY 43yrds rushing....30 of those yards came AFTER couch Dixon took the starters out!! And for those of you who think your Greenwave is just going to come and as you all say "hit them in the mouth" I have a sad news flash for you, Those Galax boys hit back!!...I've never seen anything like it, this Maroon Tide team almost seems to adjust and adapt in mid game. I have seen both Galax and Clintwood play and I can tell you right now that if the Greenwave thinks that there just going to show up and blow this team out then you all are really sadly mistaken. The Maroon Tide has more weapons then you all are really aware off, the only ones you all truly know about are a WR, a QB, and a RB...I can promise you there are a lot more...for crying out loud They are averaging 3 Div 1 Univeristies coming to the games per game...do you really think that they would be wasting there time driving all that way for a "weak team" you all seem to think they are, Galax has speed, power, strength and extrodinary IQ of the game.....Galax 47 Clintwood 12
Three D1 scouts per game? Which players are these 30+ D1 schools scouting? That's impressive...
A true "sports analyst" would use proper punctuation (hell punctuation period) and not misspell seventy thousand words.
Its okay, we know you are a Galax fan getting on here talking shit. If you had read the thread, most people on here were predicting a very tight game or even a Galax win.

Actually all these post show Galax losing, and the sports analyst ???? made a great comment that no one has acknowledged and that is Grayson using speed beat Clintwood 61-6 and Galax did beat Grayson 21-6 on what coach Dixon called one of their worst games of the season. Not bad beating the previously ranked #1 team on a bad night. I understand that teams have bad games but 61-6 proves that speed is their worst enemy. And that is true about D-1 scouts, 6'4 Deon George wide receiver is being recruited by top ACC schools. The running back and the 6'6 defensive end have small D-1 schools like JMU and Emory scouting them. I love the fact that nearly everyone is downing Galax.
You want an acknowledgment, Ok. The first 4 weeks of the season Clintwood was garbage. They had 1 returning OL and the line play early was terrible. They also couldn't hold onto the ball. Add into that Meade (RB) broke his leg in game one and was playing 2 weeks later, plus Dotson (fb) was gimpy, and having 7 fumbles in the first half is the reason for the game/score. It had nothing to do with speed. Other than Rodriguez I didn't see anyone that was "fast". It was an avalanche of turnovers that came in about a 8-10 minute span that put a close game into the cooler before halftime. They couldn't even get the center/qb exchange correct that night.

LOL 2 more FACTS for you GW and Sussex are BOTH FASTER than Galax.......CW will be the fastest team Galax has seen in the playoffs.
(If CW plays to the same level they did vs Grayson than they will lose.........IF Galax plays at the same level they did vs Glenvar than they will lose)
Wow, I didnt know I was a D1 athlete.....

Please help me out a little. I know Galax has a great football team. I hope your correct about the D1 schools looking at a few of the guys they surely look good on paper. There is one statement that I would like for you to clear up for me and the other folks on this message board. You said Galax destroyed two Double A teams;who are they I looked at the schedule on Max Preps and I see Glenvar, East Mont, Radford, Craig County, Fort Chiswell, Graham, Narrows, Bland, Grayson County, Holston and Lunenburg Central. I think all these schools are Single A please correct me if I'm wrong.
As far as the size goes Clintwood is a large team Ol goes 358, 215, 220, 229, 339, 192 about a 258 average across the line backfield goes 195, 234, 172 Wides are smallish
Clintwood's has a very solid defense 136,150,193,195,208,234,178,192,170,209,339 around a 200 average they can go bigger at times all the kids for Clintwood can and will tackle IMO they have one of the better front 8 or 9 that I have seen or the past 10 or 15 years
Im not predicting anything as far as wins and loses go but I can promise you the kids from Clintwood will play hard and with tons of heart
