FBDevotee 34 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I know I'm beating a dead horse - but again one of the things that impresses me about the 2015 Bears is depth. Stidham (6-2 260) sat out a significant part of the game against a good Graham team but his backup Walker (6-3 250), who is a solid lineman, played well and likely is a starter the remainder of his high school career. I think those two sophomore tackles could bookend the Bears line for the next couple of seasons. I'm looking forward to watching Union play Glenvar - I can't remember the last time that I saw two 12-0 teams matched up. I think both the Union vs Glenvar and the Richlands vs Appomatix games are toss ups; those games would have made a great double header like we had at UVA-Wise in the playoffs a few years back.

LongTimeSWVAFan 36 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Glenvar's experience proves to be the difference in this one. Union is also due for some turnovers and the weather should assist in that. Glenvar 28-21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swvafan72 15 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 That is my biggest concern. If they don't get to the QB, Union wins. If they wreak havoc in the backfield, whether it be on the QB or RBs then Glenvar wins. Central(wise) is the only team that consistently got pressure on the QB and Union still moved the ball at will. Union only scored 14 points in that game, but it wasn't due to not being able to move the ball. Nobody has shut Union's O down this year, so it will be interesting to see how much better Glenvar is than Richlands, Central, Crockett, and Letcher's defenses.

Swvafan72 15 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 ^^ I don't agree. Richlands constantly had pressure too. #56 for the blues had 3 sacks himself. They were in his face all night. Just shows how tough he is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 ^^ I don't agree. Richlands constantly had pressure too. #56 for the blues had 3 sacks himself. They were in his face all night. Just shows how tough he is though I know that Richlands got pressure on Spears, but the keyword in my statement was consistently. If you recall, Union ran the full house T formation for a large part of that game. Maybe majority. Can't get pressure on the QB the WHOLE game when he didn't have the ball for most of it. Whereas, against Central, they ran shotgun almost the entire game and nearly every time he attempted to pass he was being chased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wave316 64 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I say that Glenvar gets shocked by the Bears. Special teams will come into play. Bears with punt returns and kick off returns will play a big part in this game. Bears also feeding off thousands of fans packed in to watch!

Glenvar 28-21. As of now, knock on wood, the weather is going to be perfect Saturday. 60 degrees, overcast, and winds 3 mph. With the temperature and amount of sun light that is forecast for today and tomorrow, the field should be nice and dry too. wave316 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM3-8404 103 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I posted earlier this year that I spoke with " someone in the know " from Glenvar and they said they were not worried with anyone west of Giles. From the bottom of my heart I hope Union will pound Glenvar's peepees in the dirt and show them that the boys from Southwest Virginia can play football! If Richlands don't win it all I really hope Union can. I think this is how 99% of Richlands fans are thinking.

Regardless of location, or a teams win/lost record. Glenvar respects every team they face. Who ever said this needs to have thier mouth washed out with soap.

Akshun 25 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 That was what I was thinking when he said that.With Glenvar's recent success, a lot of supposedly "in the know" fans say reckless things. Glenvar's motto "One game at a time" is the same every week. They never look past a opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Glenvar doesnt take any opponent lightly. It doesnt matter if the team is 10-0 or 0-10. They have a great bunch of athletes and some good coaches. Akshun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I could be wrong and if I am I'll be right here saying it. I think Union will be able to move the ball rather well, I also think the running back from Glenvar has a big game. As it's been all season for Union, too many options on offense. Union 34 Glenvar 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen them in person, only on hudl, which is probably why I'm underestimating them. Nothing wrong with being optimistic though, right?

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Glenvar hasn't given up more than 15 points in any single game all season. I agree with UVAO, first one to 14 wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbgfan 855 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Giving the Bears the edge in this game. Don't know much about Glenvar other than they beat my Spartans and apparently have one of the best "D's" in 2A. That being said, still have to give the edge to the Bears, home field, rabid fans and A-one skill positions. GO BEARS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Use the height Bears use the height. If you can hold Glenvar to 13, for the life of me I can't see them holding Union below 14 if Union spreads them out like they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
