G-Men, Spartans set for Battle at Mitchell Stadium

In week three of VHSL football, the Graham G-men (1-1) will host the Giles Spartans (0-2) at Mitchell Stadium.

Giles Falls to Blacksburg in Season Opener

The sound of cowbells ringing and a train horn blaring indicated one thing in Pearisburg on Friday night; high school football had returned. The Giles Spartans welcomed the Blacksburg Bruins across the county line for their traditional season opener. And for Blacksburg, the trip back across Brush Mountain on Friday night was a pleasing one. Even though the Giles offense had success moving the ball in their trademark single-wing offense, the Bruins defense was able to keep the Spartans out of the end zone for the full sixty minutes, allowing Blacksburg (1-0) stroll off of Stephen C.… Read the rest

Giles looks to improve in 2019; hosts Blacksburg in season opener

The 2018 season for the Spartans is one that many would like to forget. The single-wingers were faced with many adversities early in the season, including losing multiple starters to serious injuries. With a very tough schedule consisting of 4A powerhouse Blacksburg, the defending 2A champions Graham, and Three Rivers District forces Radford and Glenvar, the Spartans found themselves wondering if they would even make the 2A playoffs. While Giles was not expected to win those 4 games, the shocker of the season was a 34-28 defeat to James River, after the Spartans lead 28-0 at the half.… Read the rest
