Week 4: Bradley Central at Walker Valley

[broncos58]

If Cooper Melton is back for this game and is healthy I think WV has a good chance to beat Bradley. Rhea county is a quality team.

Whoever makes less mistakes. WV is very young. Bradley replaced a lot of their play makers. Toss up.

 

We've been hearing for 8 years that WV is "young"...not sure what's going on up there, but nobody seems to age!

Last heard, Melton is still out..

Rhea...jury is also still out.  They run their district, which is historically weak...but hard to tell really how good they are until playoff time.  Most any 5AAA team would run that district.

Me either just going by their roster but they seemed to have had enough age when they beat Cleveland but still haven't beat Bradley.

that cleveland win was 6 years ago and they've been young ever since.

That was the year Cleveland was super-young.  I think an 8th grader started at RB and LB that year...didn't they?  I forget.

Yeah sounds about right.

WV is not young, they have a seniors on the line and a junior QB. Their skill people are soph. the defense has mostly upper classman, tired of the young excuse.

I'm not a WV person, so I'm not making excuses for anybody. I just know that their skilled offensive positions are mostly sophomores, with a couple of juniors. The Jr QB is a solid first year starter & he is being pushed by a Freshman with a high long-term potential.

I believe in WV's first game, 4TD's were by Sophomores & 1 by the Jr. QB. I know they have a few Sophomores starting on defense too. The Sophomore group will win lots of games before they graduate. May not have enough to beat Cleveland or Bradley this year, but should be the favorites to sweep the in-County games the next 2 years after this one.

 

Sometimes the 'we are young excuse' is synonymous with 'we aren't very good', but in this case, I think it really means that they really do have talent in the younger classes.

I don't know about WV beating cleveland in the next 2 years, Cleveland has freshman and sophomores already playing big minutes and they are only going to get better.

I am a WV person, everything you stated is why they should be winning now. I think the problem is internal.
