GALLIA ACADEMY @ POINT PLEASANT Battle of the Bridge

Post by MR305 »

Gallia Academy in this one. Don’t think Point will stop the physical run game of Gallipolis.

Yeah, Point lost at home to a mediocre AAA Greenbrier East squad 32-22. If Point can limit turnovers they might give Gallia a competitive game.

The style of play could be a factor. Gallia's spread and speed vs Point's 11 & 12 power personnel. If healthy, Gallia should have the edge in skill players and possibly the line. Unfortunately, the low numbers could be a factor health-wise the rest of the season. Gallia will need to consistently win the first and fourth quarters by jump out to a quick lead and have enough in the tank to finish. There are negatives to having low numbers, but the positive is all the kids get more reps/coaching and develop at an accelerated rate.

I would bet that Gallia Academy will have more yards on the ground along with the win. Too many options for Gallipolis. Skill players for Point are soft.

Coach Darst has racked up a lot of wins over the years at Point Pleasant. This will not be one of them. Gallia offense explodes. 42-21

Looking forward to watching the skill players of Gallia Academy run on the fast track. Gallipolis big in this one.

gallia wins this game. Have no idea what the score will be. Point is solid this year. But nothing special or that stands out. Gallia should take another step forward offensively and defensively. Still a lot to work on both sides of ball. But the good part to that is this team has a huge upside potential.

I can remember that at one time, neither one of these teams had a great fondness for each other.

Even after that, were there a few years that they didn't schedule or play each other in any sport?

There were a lot of years after that. this game was not scheduled. The rivalry is not nearly as heated now. But i can tell you though. it is still the game on gallia academy's schedule where the fans are the rudest to each other. This is true in basketball and football and pretty much in every sport.

Thank you. I thought that for a few years it was probably best for both schools to not be competing against each other.

I remember my dad listening to that game on the radio (Bill Grey). Didn't play for several years after that.

Seems like I remember a gang fight near Ordinance School between these two the week of the game. Sometime in the early 80's I think.
