Bearcat Dad 439 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 VHS has until next Friday to find their way out from behind the woodshed that the G-Men took them to on Thursday night. Ive already seen a few posts on here that have written the Bearcats off as a contender in the region and that's ok. The Bearcats heard all week long about being ranked #1, from most everyone in the community, and it got to their head. Hopefully they learned that they are not good enough to just simply show up to a game and their opponent will just roll over. No doubt that they were out coached and out played, but they started pressing too early and tried to challenge Graham to a track meet when it was still a game after the blocked FG. There's no team in Region D that has a chance in hell in trying to keep up with Graham in that way. Their speed is unrivaled around here. Anyways, the Bearcats get back home for 2 straight, and look to rebound against Lebanon. I know the Pioneers are not very good this season, but even with the tough season VHS had last year, most figured that Lebanon would be an easy win. They were wrong. For everyone who has seen Lebanon, what are your thoughts on this game? V-Cats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone who has seen Lebanon, what are your thoughts on this game? I don't think anyone wrote VHS off, but I don't see them contending against best in Region D. Win one playoff game, which I would figure would be a great season for VHS. A trip to a place like Graham or Union would likely await the Cats in round two. I don't see VHS winning against either, but would obv have a better shot v. Union. Looks like Graham is the best of Region D right now, but a team like Union isn't far behind. If VHS gets the #3 seed, they will crush the #6 seed (unless somehow Ridgeview falls that far. RV is a very solid team that can give a team fits but I'd still favor VHS) and likely bow out against the #2 seed. Bearcat Dad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Bearcats will be looking forward to the opportunity. Not worried about the Blues right now, though. Still have Lebanon and Marion before then. See ya in a few weeks! Good luck with Graham, you're gonna need it. ? EH31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams have speed. Will give Graham the edge. But Union has more people that can beat you than just Mitchell. Union plays clock control game and keep their offense off the field. Frustration sets in and they lose their cool. Game over. And I see RV beating VHS if they meet. RV is the sleeper in all this. Now saying all this, I mean no disrespect to graham or VHS. This is just how I see things playing out. It’ll be fun to see it all play out. But before all that, let’s finish the regular season. Got a district title to win!

Graham has multiple athletes and speed at all levels. Mitchell will be tough to stop, but take him out of the equation, and where is Union? As for Ridgeview, only time will tell. Lets see what they do against Abingdon? Then we will talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell on that one. Graham gave up well over 100 yards rushing to central. We gave up 40 yards of total offense. This will be a fun game if/when it happens. Should be a true battle.

With their front 7 on defense, Union would be in pretty much every game regardless of who does or doesn't play on offense. How many other teams in the region do you think could lose their starting QB in week 2 and still be undefeated with 2 games to go? It's true it would be tough with Mitchell out of the equation, but name me a high school team who wouldn't struggle without their starting QB and their best player, too.

Most any team would struggle in that situation...I don't care who it is. That's why when folks go on about "What if you took Mitchell away from Union", 2 things cross my mind. First is "Well what if you took away any team's best player" and second is "They are already without their QB." Who knows whether or not they are the best team in the region...but, they are one of the most resilient. Since week 2, every team they have played came in knowing Union to run on offense, and they have to the tune of an average of around 325 yards per game.
