LVHS is going to blow GV out thay are just a minor speed bump b 4 thay win state but first thing first. GO WILDCATS!
I am shocked that anybody still thinks the bulldogs will be 3A champs. When we beat them again will the refs still be blamed. Look up the rushing yard discrepancy. MV defense rules. We are anchored by a very stiff D-line. Not to mention crazy psychotic linebackers. Go Pirates.
I am shocked to think that anyone would think that a team from the south has a chance this year. Truckee Wolverines will win the 3A. The score this week against Virgin Valley is going to be Truckee 24- Virgin Valley- 14. The toughest part for Virgin Valley is going to be the long bus ride home after their loss.
I would like to thank both of you for totally "dissing" Truckee this year.
I guess "swhale" was right, the worst part about playing at Truckee, will be the LONG bus ride home...after a total domination by the Wolverines.
Virgin Valley only got on the board by calling a timeout with 14 seconds left in the game, while Truckee's JV call ups were in, getting some reps.
They started coming in late in the third quarter, while Truckee was up 35-0. The "Dawgs" finally scored with 3 seconds left in the game, and they still had their entire first string in the game, rather than letting some other players see some action.
It must have been so hard for the Virgin Valley Bulldogs to leave Suprise Stadium with their tails between their legs after such a loss. All of our players definately did awesome including our JV's!!! Truckee dominated despite what Hinckley said. but hey Hinckley- Thanks for pumping our boys up!! Go Truckee! Viva las Vegas!
Just so you Truckee fans know, these two guys (Hinkley and Brewer) have no clue about 3A or 2A football. They only follow the 4A (Actually mostly just the Henderson 4A schools). I'm glad to see that you (Truckee) used their prediction for motivation, whatever it takes!! They haven't even been to see a Moapa Valley or Virgin Valley game this season, so they honestly don't know what they are talking about...
