Given all your posts, I have to ask. Are you conducting an elaborate, government experiment on "fat, old men" trying to live out their dreams on a football forum? 😂

Just my humble opinion, but I think Union did more to lose this game than Glenvar did to win it.

Keep Edwards at the helm , of course, Wise County Public Schools could care less about a Tazewell County person’s opinion but I think Coach Edwards proved he’s more than capable of leading the team.

Rather have Chris Akers and 5 disgruntled GC fans at the helm with them in a weekly, cage match, battle Royale on the 50 yard line before and after the game.

Can't wait to see how 'Blank Cassette' spins those stats

This right here ⬆️ Kids & coaches from Union battled a storm that no high school team should have to endure and they weathered it. Definitely, hold heads high, Bears!

That’s what I assumed they would call, but it’s hard to argue against giving the guy who got you there the ball with three yards to go. I wish they had a little more deception, out of the gun you have to defend Bostic as well, but I get it.

Saw three games today where teams went for two to win. Watauga made it; Union and Nitro didn’t. Either way, loved the call — no OT, trust your kids, live with it.

Travel ball sucks and I think it hampers kids more than it helps in football. Winning is more important than learning to play the correct way abd that makes it even harder for the HS coaches to correct. I hope BSG never goes to that model.

Game is on NFHS network, you could watch it there. It is under away vs. Science Hill.

The Union coaches, Jay and Kory, deserve so much credit for stepping in and being able to keep them focused. Our fans in the stands can be idiots at times but anyone being too hard on those guys needs perspective. They didn’t sign up for this, they were thrust into it and lost a state semi by a point.

With all the noise, the Union kids showed incredible poise and effort these last three weeks. Hats off to every player, coach abd parent. In an impossible situation you really showed character.

War Damn Eagle!

If Rye Cove still wore these beauties, they’d be a two-TD favorite.

In games like that, you never know when the pivotal moments that will decide the game will arise. Have to seize on every opportunity given. Yesterday, the majority of those went the other way.

If Jay wants it it should be his. He and Kory deserve to get to do whatever they’d like after doing what they did this season.

🤣Definitely, not the government. However, I would happily accept funding to confirm my thoughts on how that population that I may or may not be part of thinks.

Rapp is prototypical of every good team that comes out of Region A. Super athletic but struggle at times with consistent play, they will look great one play and very very average the next. Rapp is athletic enough to score many times on plays the go south quickly or even total broken plays. Any space they have to play in is dangerous for the opponent. Will be a tall task for Rye Cove. Rye Cove advantages IMO: Coaching,Team Discipline and Interior line play.

Strasburg had no luck stopping Graham’s passing game with Roberts at QB (probably his best game of his high school career) ,unless their pass defense has greatly improved, I don’t see them stopping Dawyot.

Graham & Strasburg had cowbells and a couple of guys had those drill horns last year. Nobody said anything.

This ^^^ is my thinking and what I observed as what has happened with many youth programs unintentionally (or at least in Richlands case). I know some seek better competition through the travel route. You brought up more good points that I hadn’t considered. For example, when Richlands began hosting teams from Russell, Buchanan, and Tazewell, I think it shifted the focus to competing for championships, especially when some teams would consolidate their best into one team. We now have the SWVA League. That said, Union still has more available football players with only places with higher population able to rival the roster in size in high school. I asked that hypothetical question and this answer reinforced my thinking and knocked it out of the park with details that supports my thinking even more. Thanks.

I said same. Didn't disagree with running it...but not out of that formation. But i didn't know about the injuries

I didn't hate the call and completely get it...Chandler from the 2 1/2 is a pretty good bet...Just would've preferred to see an option

So were two games today decided by a conversion attempt at the end with both being stopped?

Strasburg probably won’t be denied from the two yard line twice.

In what? Football or overall school titles, because we have three times your amount in total team sports, so no, you ain't "gooder."

And we have more than you. So we're gooder than you.

It wasn't a dig...

Unless it was 1962, then you have to take your elders' word for it 😉

Congratulations Princeton! First one is always special

Princeton Co-MVPs: Brad Mossor and Chapmanville

It's party time in Stumpy Bottom, Mercer Street, and at Southern Exposure. I predict....there will be crimes committed and someone will be arrested in Tigertown tonight. They will tear that place apart tonight.

Is this where defense goes out the window and it ends in a 56 to 54 type game

Take it easy on our little detective. Or blank CD man. Used to use memorex to burn CDs 25 years ago.

no.

"Shot out of a Cannon"....lol. Yeah, those guys are the worst....by far.

TD Watauga, 2 pt conversion is Good N. Guildford 42 Watauga 43 4Q 0:47

💯

Oh NVM

If he just had some more size he could probably go anywhere

Yeah i knew that and I totally agree

I didn't realize that..Hard to believe they agreed to reduce it the first time. People don't usually agree to tougher paths to state titles.

You wouldnt be alone in that opinion.

When little league cares more about winning a trophy than teaching fundamentals and love of football, you don’t get high numbers in high school. The little league season drags on way too long also. It needs a total revamp. I’ve seen too many kids not stick with it and it has more to do with how teams are run than kids themselves.

Yelp...Varina/Dinwiddie was the state championship.

I think edwards proved he should stay at HC take away 2 bombs it’s a different game. Defense played well. Bostic didn’t call a bad game, there were questionable moments where us arm chair QBs will disagree, but all in all this team was very impressive and improved vastly from last year, still I think you are good where you are unless a big name throws his hat in. For OC/DC/HC

I know Ridgeview plays in SWVA league that travels to many communities. Union is closer than most. That said, Union has no reason to be so generous, but hypothetically, if Union invites RV into the league would it ruin the feeder program? Just thinking because I believe generosity of including teams from outside communities had an unintended impact on Richlands feeder system leading to an arms race to compete. This may not be the case, but my thoughts led me there when you mentioned the feeder program at Union.
