Force feed a quarterback? How does that work?

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

Best part about it is majority of our defense is coming back next year 😈

Don’t get too excited tho, Union returns almost everyone too lol

But Union CANNOT afford to let Tazwell isolate Chandler in space and attack him with the slot guys down the field. He lacks the top end speed to cover faster guys. Move him inside and let Anderson play the slot guys. Or start Rey at DB, finally.

Creasy is currently 9th in career passing yards, T-10th in in career TD passes, and 6th in career pass completions in VHSL history but he's underwhelming?!?!?

 

Doesn’t hurt when your coach force feeds kids and clearly values setting records. 

42-7 type of game. 

I wouldn’t hate shortening playoff roster IF they let teams play a plus-1 to end the season. That’s the best scenario in my mind. Let teams schedule some games they’d never get in regular season.

Union-va high final?

34-6

Union has several very good athletes in the secondary but stopping the Dogs offense will occur if Union can get consistent pressure. A good QB like Creasy can beat even the best coverage if he’s given the time. 
 

Union should be able to score as well but Tazwell puts up points in bunches. Can’t fall behind and start panicking. 

Chandler finds end zone, 14 yards

28-6

7:19 3rd

Bostic with an insane circus catch between two defenders. Bears strike first 

PAT good

7-0 Union 5:58 1st

Or, you know, those gravel lots with a thin layer of rubber pellets and plastic grass. That'll eliminate head injuries from smacking the turf!!!

The 10:00 mark of this video. The kid sat out ONE play!!! He can be seen walking in the background of the following TD clip for verification.

 

I’m a true believer in real grass. I think at every level, football should be played on real grass. 

And every field needs the right grass. That will help with some of the surface issues with head impacts. A nice field without dirt spots can really make it easier on kids not to smack their heads as hard.

About like Galax and Riverheads in the 2015 state championship game. Fastest game I’ve ever witnessed. I had to kill a lot of time after that game to wait for the 2A game to be played 

Union games are usually pretty fast too, but they have always passed occasionally (except for 17 when Mitchell was forced into action at QB). PH seems to have just thrown out every pass play in their playbooks and the RB has responded with an absolutely insane statistical season. Grundy doesn’t seem to mind that style of game either so fans of the Rebs and Wave will get home before it gets too awful cold lol. 

Grundy at PH could be the fastest football game ever played. Will either team attempt 10+ passes?

It’s within the travel window for a Friday game so I’d say it’s a Friday night game.

That’s a lot of ifs when you consider it’s high school football.

But they’ll also have the best player on the field in any game they play all year. A game changing QB is hard to stop at this level, I just worry about Crist keeping them together.

I have seen film of Radford and yes they are really good. However Appo just seems to be their Achilles Heel so to speak.

I agree with that. Wouldn’t be shocked if Appo won but Radford has all the pieces if they can put it in overdrive and not be outcoached

Radford doesn't get the benefit of the doubt after last year.

Fair but I think they are better this season and Appo is a bit worse. But they’re def good, that Buckingham W just keeps lookin better. I wouldn’t be shocked if Appo won but Radford is the better team and has made it look easy so far.
