    Graham vs Union Part 2

    Y’all prepare yourselves for that train horn to never be stopped. After they threatened to escort Union fans out of Mitchell for little air horns — I cant even imagine how loud and often they’ll blow the train horn Friday night.

  2. If we’re not careful, we won’t have any football! We already have a game where a defender can’t breath on a QB. The mother of a Grayson athlete works in my office. The Tuesday following Grayson’s 57-0 drubbing at the hands of Galax, she said to me.....”if everybody can’t have NFL players coaching and teaching weight training, nobody should be able to! It’s not fair for Galax to cheat like that. They are too big and too strong to bully those poor Grayson kids that way!” If you think these mothers don’t carry weight in the changing of the game at every level, you’re naive! Just saying, I don’t agree with it but it’s the changing landscape of the world we live in!

  3. Why don’t you start a thread on Central vs Ridgeview and hash that out before worrying about state. Just a suggestion 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. Im a Graham fan and disagree. We aren't the same as Richland's and Union who has played them a couple of times in the past 4-5 years. Graham is athletic and a history of doing pretty dang good in state semi games against the Lynchburg area schools over the years.. If Graham gets that far and wins the region , I can assure you there is no fear for Appo. Graham would go to Appo expecting to win, not to keep it close or upset them, but to beat the shit out of them, and if Graham is on its game, they will run Appo right out of its own stadium.

    Graham vs Union Part 2

    It was the same thing last year with East Rockingham. The majority of people on this forum have not seen any team east of Salem play, so we take someone from the east’s word for it and run with that team. Tony Palmer said on the SWVA Sports podcast last year that he would’ve rather had played East Rockingham than Goochland. He said that after watching film he felt graham would’ve had their way with them. But, most of the people were picking East Rock to win it all last year. My point is - outside of SWVA - how many of us actually have in depth knowledge of other teams?

  6. Being a big fan of Appo for many years and watching them thru thick and thin i have to say some people have over hyped my Raiders. Yes we lost to Buckingham, no excuses from me they were the better team that night at that time. Appo is a young team same as last year, alot of growing to do yet. Smaller sqaud than past few years so staying healthy is pinnacle. My honest opinion Appo will win region C. After that im scared to try to guess. Too many things can go wrong and being young pressure could get them like it did last year.

  7. It should without a doubt go into the mix but lots of other stuff play a much larger role in any 1 particular game

  8. Just a factual point, the majority of the less than stellar teams Graham played this year were district games that they have no control over. Regular season means squat now, it’s win or go home. If Union wins and ends up in the state playoffs, I’ll gladly cheer them on because that’s what loyal Region D fans do. I’m betting if Graham goes on, most of the Union posters on here will be cheering on the GMen. PSA: It’s called “Adulting 101” 😂😂

  9. I usually agree with most of your comments but this one not so much. I think I’ve missed about the same amount of games since 2003. This years team went 6-4 in the regular season. The only game the blues lost that they had to play in the regular season was graham. It would be easy to fill a schedule minus bluefield , Abingdon Radford , union , gate city , as your non district games. You could finish the season at 9-1 and get a soft first round game. Then maybe win the next round. Then people outside the program don’t realize that you actually are not that good. This years team and last years team were 6-4 teams. Last years team made it at least 1 round Further than they should have. This years team probably made it 1 less round than they should have. Simmons played well. Cox came in several times early in the season and looked awful. Just wasn’t ready. His feet were not ready. Tuned the gate city game around in a hurry. I said it earlier and will again. No skill players other than Webb. No Lbs other than Absher. Steele ran hard this season. . Some of the other wr caught a few balls but needed to be capable of scoring or winning 1 v1 matchups consistently. The Altizer injury hurt the blues tremendously. This was a 6-4 team that could have maybe won another game or 2 but could have also lost 2 more in the regular season. Simmons played good. Exceeded expectations. Doesn’t make him the best qb around. Not trying to make that argument, But was gritty in wins over Abingdon , Radford , tazewell , etc. The blues will be starring at another 6-4 season unless the get some skill players fast. I think cox will be a player next year If he works on his feet. His arm is great. Needs months of feetwork. If he does, it will add a dimension next season that the blues lacked. I would love to see Webb back 10 lbs heavier and Steele 10 lbs. They say both of them are tireless workers in the offseason. if they all buy in and develop a couple lbs they can exceed expectations. I’m disappointed with the lack of toughness from the blues this year and last but saw some flashes with some of the younger players at times this year. I can’t wait till August . Good luck to all the area teams in the playoffs this year. and hopefully the blues will be right back in the thick of things at this time next year.

  11. Appo IS ABSOLUTELY in the same league as Pikeville. Who in the world are you kidding. 3 out of 4 AA titles with a chance to make it 4 out of 5 in Virginia. Yes, they are very much in the same league as Pikeville. The problem for so many SWVA football teams is, they don't see a true spread air attack offense very often, and when they do (like Ridgeview vs Pikeville), the hinges come off. Another example is how close Paintsvile played Pikeville, and Union about beating Paintsville. It's because a team like Paintsville has seen that type of offense and is used to it.

  12. Congratulations to Tazewell on a hard fought season. The way those kids finished this year compared to last year is really impressive. Especially with the amount of injuries they endured. There's something to be said for Coach Harris and his staff for keeping those kids focused. He would have my vote for COY.

  13. Exactly, it shows he knows little about Region C and the level of play Appo is playing and the level of play that Radford is not playing. Radford will lose to Gretna this coming weekend. You won't have to worry about Radford beating Appo. And if you do get fortunate enough to host Appo, it's going to be Pikeville KY all over again.

    M7 > SWD

    The best team in the AFC is probably New England but that doesn't mean the AFC East doesn't stink. Graham winning the region only proves Graham is the best team, not that the SWD is better. This is a dumb discussion bc it doesn't really matter, but on the whole this year the M7 was considerably better.

  15. The Warriors are rolling. This isn't the same lovable Rollback Renegade Walmart Warriors we all knew back in week 3. This is a brand new team that deserves respect and this game will be MUCH closer than the week 3 matchup. Game is Friday night at 7:00. Who wins?

  16. I listened to some of the Tazewell broadcast on my way to the game yesterday. I thought they did a great job. Better than listening to Graham's...........I know, I know that's not really saying much. Lol

  21. Same same. I understand Poca is pretty good and still undefeated, but just not on the level of Bluefield and Fairmont. Semifinal winner is overwhelming favorite in the title game. Go Beavers!

  22. I was not part of the direct communication, and if I'm wrong they can correct me. It is my understanding that Richlands' AD requested that it be blown less and that request was honored, but silenced, no, not silenced.

  24. Cannon Hill is better than Hess... and he's only a Freshman. Hill will be known more for his defense in the coming years though. He's the second coming of Sproles... punishes people with nasty hits.

  32. Neither of those would surprise me in the least if they play. If either team won by 30+, that would shock me. Ridgeview did lose to Union and on the road in Pikeville but make no mistake, that's a very talented team. They are capable of beating anyone.

  33. Appo is good but they aren't in same league as Pikeville, c'mon be real. If it plays out and Ridgeview plays Appomattox, it's a toss up game. Acting as if RV wouldn't have a shot is silly. It's a coin flip.

  36. And Appomattox will beat Radford because they dont have two of the starting running backs they started the season with. Appomattox should win Region C easily.

  37. Appomattox is rolling right now & I’m not saying Radford cannot beat them but it’s more probable Raiders cage those Bobcats considering injuries Radford suffered especially. Right now, everyone better be in the mindset one game at a time including the Pack fans!

    Graham vs Union Part 2

    It's been said on here multiple times that Union isn't the same team since the injuries. That hasn't changed. Several posters said the GC game would be close, and a GC win wouldn't be a shocker. Those statements weren't popular with a lot of Union fans. Guess what, these posters were spot on. If GC had more depth, they would have won. It will take a perfect Union game, Graham miscues and something other than what we saw last night, as far as a gameplan goes, to beat Graham. Plain and simple. Hoping for a rabbit out of the hat, Friday night. Either way, looking for a LOUD Bullitt Park and an exciting game! Can't wait!

    I mean I agree, clearly the M7 was better this year, it's a brutal conference. But the best team in Region D may be a SWD team, and at this point that's what matters. Under the current system, it's 1-1 for the Region D title.
