redtiger 1,739 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 HUGE game! Union has had some close calls while Marion has faced a relatively weak schedule. I'm gonna say the Bears luck runs out this Friday. Hurricane by a TD Harlo78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canes00 434 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 This is the biggest game Marion has played in the regular season in many years and they are ready for this Marion finds a way to win it. Marion 31 Union 28 Harlo78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAFB 218 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Now let's see; Marion is from the " weak " Hogo, but somehow is rated "good", along with George Wythe, who no one what's to play in the 1A west playoffs. Now, having said that, Union should win by at least 21. Whoever plays GW in A1should not have any problems with the 2012 VHSL CHAMPS either, because both have played a weak schedule and play in the Hogo. This is the logic I hear a lot, so I guess that Union should not even practice this week, and prepare for their last regular season game. Good luck to both teams and to whoever plays GW in the A1 west. HS Football is a fun game to forecast in SWVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm going with the canes in a very close game! But a little piece of advice Marion knock them out and then step on there throats because this union team knows the game ain't over until that final horn blows!

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Well the Blues will be very anxious to see the out come of this one because it will have a big impact on the playoffs. Union has played in several very close games this year and it should help them in this game. Marion has flew under the radar and in my opinion is an underestimated team. The game being at Marion makes this game much closer than I would have predicted if it would have been at Union. Marion on offense can line up and power run at you with Wagner or spread you out and pass or run Wagner out of that also. That makes them a very difficult team to defend. Wagner must have a big game and run for a 100 yards at least. Marion on defense is where I think they win or lose. Union I think will score many points. Marion will have to get after the Qb with success or they will have to score a lot! I think this will be a high scoring and very exciting game. The Marion fans should be electric and very loud which will have the team fired up and ready to go. Union better not come in flat or they will get beat. I will be pulling for Marion in this one. My friends Canes and Hurricane have waited a long time for a game like this and I am excited for them. It should be a great game and wonderful atmosphere. Good luck to both teams because I have friends in both places. I think this one is a shootout and Unions 4th quarter heroics fall just short this time Marion-41 Union-35 Bigrhsfan, Harlo78 and Canes00 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 APPY DAWG 39 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Union has played flat the last 2 games. After watching the Central game last night, Union seems to be in some sort of who cares mode.

Jethro 113 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Slobberknocker. Union's 7 point victory over Central last night won't get it done against this bunch. Sam "Rock You Like A Hurricane" Wagner will account for all 3 Marion scores as the Canes win 21-10. BlueRazor and Harlo78 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I believe Union has a much better shot at winning than people on here are giving them. Its gonna be a tough road game, but Union has a huge road win at Richlands. Union has so many dynamic playmakers who can turn ten yards into sixty (see Noaks' incredible run in the first quarter last night, just electric), and are better on D than the GC/Central game showed. Like I said, Marion is supposedly good and they can def win_ but Union can as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 APPY DAWG 39 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 As a Union fan, but a realist I will give credit when it is due and right now it ain't. They have played like $&@& the last 2 games defensively. Being down a few key players is a factor but not an excuse. They played a 15 minute game last night against a Central team that is good but not as good as I had thought. 21-8 at the half and they went into sleep mode until they were down and then started playing again. Not gonna work against a good team. Yea they pulled one out of their a$$ at Richlands but only played well for one half of the game and a little luck went a long way. Don't know much about Marion but I think it will be a blow out may be and hope I'm wrong but I think it's time for a reality check and think it will happen next Friday. Just my opinion...

94 APPY DAWG 39 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 How many games have you watch them play Jerhro? That's what I thought go through my post I think they have played like shit all year. So unless you have watched as many games as I have you have no clue. If they had won by 50 they still looked like shit. If you have watched a few games and think they are amazing that shows you don't know much about football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 APPY DAWG 39 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I believe Richlands is a great team to. You seemed to leave them out. Who cares about Middlesboro anyway and I think they will be playing Union at home next year. From what I have heard Norton will be the only team Union will be replacing on the schedule next season.

fb-fan24263 12 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I guess I should've said I've seen play! I've not seen Richlands play this year yet! I've seen a lot of good football this year! Not trying to upset anyone, just ever where I turn around on here, work, or every time I talk to a Union fan the M-boro and Lee games are brought up not Richlands!

94 APPY DAWG 39 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I myself thought Middlesboro was a pretty good team, several good players and the Lee game is dang near nation wide and people will talk about it for years to come. SWVA has several good teams and I pull for all them if not playing Union and wish nothing but the best to all the teams in our small corner of the state. No one is butt hurt and to the Union fans you mention there are a few bad eggs in every town, so don't worry about it my friend.

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 What's wrong with Union? They are 7-1 with their only loss coming to the current points leader in 2A West. Most teams even the best in the state have games during the season that they struggle with even though they are a much better team. I am not trying to argue with you just don't understand the hate for Union. Most of the Union posters on here are very fair people with good football insight. They have a great fan base and very good coaching. The Richlands game was one of the best comebacks you will see around here. Richlands is as hot of a team as they are right now in SWVA. The Lee game was a classic no matter how it ended(which was bad for both sides especially Lee). Then Lee takes Gate City to the final seconds with a missed conversion being the difference and many figure Gate City to be one of the top two teams in 2A West( Giles & Gate City being the two). I am not saying Union is a top five team. That will be determined in about three and a half more weeks. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
