Why are you all talking richlands union on richland graham thread anyways because union is not playing richlands this Saturday anyways so their last game has no bearing on Saturdays game now.

I understand being disappointed and sympathize. As I said on the other board, I'm sorry if your employment doesn't allow you to attend a Friday afternoon game. But that employment status shouldn't place others in potential jeopardy to ensure your ability to attend. This isn't just about the Galax kids or parents. Narrows kids and parents have to travel two hours to get here. I applaud our school coaches and administrators for ensuring they have the safest trip possible. If you look at the weather report for Friday/Saturday and don't see what precipitated this move, then in my opinion, you're either naive or "hopelessly irrational."

Again, beating the same team twice in one year can be challenging enough but when you add Mance and Co. into the equation it makes it that much harder. They will be hungry. Once you get this far in the playoffs you have to eliminate mistakes and take advantage of what the other team gives you. Graham will need to finish drives. We got inside the 10 a couple of times and come away with nothing. I think we had 2 or 3 turnovers Saturday. Regardless of the outcome Saturday this Graham team has been the most enjoyable to watch for me. They are clicking pretty good together. I love defense and this defense has made big gains this season. Kastner and Edwards are very impressive. If you met Kastner outside of football you would never dream he would play the way he does on the field. Helmet goes on and he's a different kid. One week at a time. Go Graham!!

If Grapeape or Larry gets left out then I will be "legit pissed".

Had to be. This was far from his best year. Mullins from Wise had a better year in limited action. I'm legit pissed Wagner got passed over, he was Unions best OL. Watch the film

The team is more about than what I originally thought, I approached it more like a college team. This is high scholl and while I truly try and judge the sport itself as objectively and with the same lense as other levels on a purely technical basis, I shouldnt. I should shut the hell up and let all these kids enjoy it.

Hey Stu...pull for family. Just kidding, go ahead and pull for Graham considering your record you mentioned.

I’m just stating how the Union game went. TA was MIA and Sexton was the bear trapper. Doesn’t mean I think Trent can’t play. He’s a baller. But yalls team is better with balance. Just hope that that nasty rumor isn’t true or rose ridge will be in a bad way next year.

Roll Tide!!!!!!

Losing to tabernacle by 1 point would look a lot worse than getting blown out by Bearden

Graham's Reed tough to tackle...https://www.heraldcourier.com/sports/graham-s-reed-tough-to-tackle/article_379623bc-ed2f-11e8-b606-d3c71f1e44b0.html

Selections are so political these days, I usually don't even look at them. The best players don't always get chosen.

Alijah Sproles won Defensive POY and Trenton Adkins won Offensive POY both of RV

I think you have to take a couple of things into consideration as to why these guys are dissapointed. I didn't see anyone call out the school on the decision just that the weather report they seen did not support the move. Most of these players parents are not as fortunate as you or I, in being able to dictate their schedule. They do not work in a type of employment as to where they can just take a day off or call in sick. Some of these guys are going to miss seeing their kid playing their last home game and possibly their last high school game ever. So before you label people hopelessly irrational because they do not agree with you, take into account that they may have a very good reason to be disappointed.

Dont be surprised to see a couple of freshmen getting some playing time next year as well.

Congratulations to the Lady Rebels for bringing the gold home to SWVA! PH never trailed in taking a 25-14, 25-20, 25-11 victory over Riverheads in the VHSL Class 1 state finals today at Northside High School. (via Bristol Herald Courier)

Some folks on that other site are pissed at Galax for not playing Friday night or Saturday. Given the circumstances, Galax is doing the responsible thing and I applaud them for it. Some people are just hopelessly irrational. If attending the game is that important to them, take a sick day.

How many times has that been said over the past 18 years only to have the Patriots end up in the Super Bowl? I'm no Patriots fan by any means, but they are the best managed, best coached organization in profession sports history. Underestimating them seems counterproductive when they already have an advantage over the rest of the league. With that said, nobody is playing as well as the Saints right now. Nobody!

Richland biggest advantage is over confidence on Grahams part! Hard to prepare when you have blown a team out earlier in the year! Might not be so easy this time!!

I don't anticipate a "flop". I feel like the game will be much closer than last time. If we can establish the run like we did this past Saturday, I give us a fighters chance. If not, it could be a long afternoon!!! I just hope we score this time lol

2A- Palmer (Graham) I personally think he deserves it. I think he has come a long ways the past two years. Bringing Palmer in as Defensive Coordinator was a great move.

Why can't you just let it go man...it's obvious you have issues here. I normally don't call anybody out but this is rediculous. You guys won the game. GET OVER IT !

This week is the Semi-final round of the TSSAA Playoffs. 1A has Greenback (12-0) @ Whitwell (13-0) and Cornersville (13-0) @ Lake County (12-1)....All chalk in this bracket 2A has Meigs County (13-0) @ Trousdale County (10-3) and Waverly (10-3) @ Peabody (12-1) 3A has Alcoa (13-0) @ Upperman (13-0) and Stratford (5-8) @ Covington (13-0).................Yes Stratford is still playing they came into the playoffs 2-8 and have beaten Camden, Pearl Cohn and Fairview. Just goes to show you don't ever know in sports! 4A has Greenevillie (13-0) @ Maplewood (12-1) and Springfield (11-2) @ Haywood County (9-4).....The Mighty Greene Devils roll on now winners of 28 straight games 5A has Knox Central (11-2) @ Knox Catholic (9-3) and Page (12-1) @ Henry County (12-1).....Knox Central travels to West Knoxville for a trip to Cookeville.. 6A has Maryville (12-1) @ Oakland (12-1) and Ravenwood (11-2) @ Whitehaven (10-3). Maryville defeated Oakland 24-21 at Maryville in week three of the season. Whitehaven upset Germantown last week in Germantown.

Sexton carves thru Unions defense. Atkins didn’t hurts us. Sproles didn’t hurt us. Sexton hurt us running and catching the ball. Really shocked Coach Mullins went this route. Putting too much stock in Atkins.

I've wondered this all year....

Y’all didn’t run Sexton enough. All you ran him on was sweeps. Why not let him try to get something off tackle to spell out Trenton?

Exactly on #3...why call a pass play when its 4th and less than 1 yard to go when u have 2 good running backs?

Ridgeview....outcoached big time, and outplayed big time.....coaching has been absolutely retarded....

Ridgeview by a couple TDs but hoping Richlands pulls upset. If anyone can pull upset, it's Mance & the Blues. Although, I think their chances aren't as good as in past years.

This is a no brainer. Tony Palmer has won more games in his first 3 years than any coach in the area including Carlock, Simons and Mance. Go Graham!
