BigO 316 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yeah, I agree. More complete team. Union is pretty much just Mitchell, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 It'd be a barnburner, but I think I'd take Burg in a very close one. I don't know that there's a 2A team in the state that can match Burgs team speed. Even the "slow" guys are quick. I could see Union going power and trying to run for 500 yards again, but the difference is Blacksburg can and will score quickly, whereas Richlands doesn't possess that big play ability as readily this year. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Appomattox or Goochland are the only 2A teams that I can see taking Blacksburg to the wire. If Graham knew how to use their speed and hold on to the ball they would be on the list of possibly knocking B-burg off.

BigO 316 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm anxious to see Mitchell when he comes to Abingdon later this season. Quite obviously Union will be heavily favored, but I just want to see Mitchell play. CriticalNoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'd favor BBurg by 7-14, but Union isn't just Mitchell. He's a big part of the offense but Union has three other guys with 150ish rush yards with Zirkle prob over 400. They are a three headed RB monster with Mitchell being the X-factor.

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Fantasy, well lets say Turner isn't hurt, Union shuts Beck down, no one can stop Mitchell except maybe Appomattox, then we let Jenkins or Owens run the jet sweep. Union by 2 TDs because no one runs on Union, but Turner is hurt , and we don't play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thinks Beck is their best player but it's actually Tiquest Terry. And they have about 4 other talented receivers.

You may slow down Beck but Terry will run by every defender that yall have. Even the slower guys like #4 and #7 are faster than anyone on Richlands team and faster than anyone I saw from Union. Blacksburg takes out Union due to being able to score QUICK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes I have seen the race, but I will leave this here to you experts of life and spelling, please forgive me for not proofreading every word I type. One question here , has the fastest kid in the state had any offers yet? Or is he going to take Bolts place at the Olympics, oh I know why they lost it's because his Track speed doesn't translate to football speed. Appomattox from top to bottom had the best Team I have ever seen, I have seen both Jones brothers , and all of PV state games, nothing compares except Greenville Tn. I was not trying to take anything away from BB , but I think they would have to throw on Union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the 10th ranked player in Virginia and the 10th ranked all-purpose back in the country. Also he isn't Jamaican, so he couldn't take Bolt's place on the Jamaican Olympic team.

I was not trying to take anything away from BB , but I think they would have to throw on Union I was at the Richlands/Appo game last year and I made the statement "that's the fastest team I've ever seen in high school." I call games for Blacksburg now. I have no affiliation with them. Believe me, I was pulling for Richlands to beat them on the inside, while still maintaining professionalism and an unbiased approach on the outside. I say that to say this: Blacksburg's team speed would KILL what Appomattox had last year. It's crazy how fast they are. Their "slow" players are faster than most high school players. They lost because they played in very sloppy conditions against a very good Class 3 squad that came in and controlled the ball for 36 of the 48 minutes in the game. When you can have multiple 8 minute drives, you keep the ball away and then the rain limited the passing game for Blacksburg. Union would be able to keep Blacksburg running game "in check". However, Beck is the fastest player in the state and one of the fastest in the country. If he finds a hole, he's gone. And no one, even Mitchell, can catch him. If Union were to stop the run, Blacksburg is 5-6 deep at the WR position, with several burners and the best player on the team, Terry. If he was 4 inches taller, he's a big-time recruit right now, and he may still be before it's all said and done. He's a junior. It's no slight to Union. I respect the hell out of that program and what y'all have accomplished in the last 7 years. But Blacksburg would beat Union and every other team in Class 2.

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Why is it game between Union and Blacksburg being discussed? The two don't even play nor will they ever play in the foreseeable future.
