Clintwood vs Galax, State Championship Predictions

[1inStripes]

I believe they determine the home team by switching yearly like they used to do before the neutral site. So if we still played games like before neutral site Galax could be coming to Ralph Cummins if it were the east's turn to host. Of course they may have changed it with the new seeding system.

Galax would have been a West team though.

Clintwood has proven on two seperate occasions durring these playoffs that they can handle speed by hitting em in the chin. Call me bias, but I love hard hitting football. Its what I grew up on and its what I believe in. Im goin to ride with the smash mouth team till the end. I feel like if a team can hit hard no matter the score then they will win. 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.

That's what I meant with the new seeding system you can get what we have with two west teams and no switching. So I would imagine higher seed gets to wear home colors, other than that it don't matter with the neutral site.
