This season, the folks at Coalfield Sports picked five of the most intriguing matchups in the area to be the games of the week before the fans selected THE game of the week.

 

Each week, Ryan and Brady, the hosts of the SWVASports Podcast picked the five contests and were joined by a special guest each week.

 

Now that it is playoff time, there is a twist.

 

Ryan and Brady will still be joined by a guest picker and a trivia question winner throughout the playoffs. However, instead of just five games in the region. We will pick each playoff game in the CoalfieldSports area.

 

So far, the records are as follows:

Ryan: 45-10

Brady: 40-13

Guest: 43-12 (Eugene Hilton: 3-2, Lloyd Combs: 5-0, Rick Baker: 4-1, Casey Goetz: 3-2, Anthony Stevens: 5-0, Chase Parker: 4-1, Nolan Knight: 4-1, Frank Browning: 3-2, Heather Williams: 4-1, Brian Woodson 4-1, Mark Fought 4-1)

Trivia Winner: 19-7 (Dakota Hamilton 5-0, Michael Dotson 4-1, Jeff Atwell 3-2, Trevor Ramsey 3-2, Matthew Ball 4-1, Brian Owens 4-1)

 

ESPN Blacksburg’s Mark Fought went 4-1 against the experts last week. The lone set back came in Radford’s upset over Glenvar. We thank you so much Mark for your analysis and wish the Blacksburg Burins luck in the Class 4 playoffs!

 

This week’s guest picker is Chris Duble. The 28-year-old Centreville, Virginia native spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the Northwood Panthers before stepping down from that position. Duble was 4-14 during his time in Saltville. Before his days in Saltville, Duble played for Centreville High School in northern Virginia before finishing his playing days at Ferrum College. After his playing days, he became a member of Mark Palmer’s staff at Patrick Henry. We are excited to have Chris pick with us this week!

 

Last week’s trivia question winner, Brian Owens, went 4-1 against the experts. Congrats, Brian! Thank you for playing!

 

This week the trivia winner is Hayley Allison!

Congratulations, Hayley! Best of luck!
