GC would be the bestr 12 seed ever in VHSL history, I'm so hoping it plays out that Lee or Floyd get the 12 instead of the Blue Devils, they could win a game or two which is awesome from a team seeded 10thnkr lower.

Not much of one lol. Reality, they ran a spread attack against Union but it was more of a running style attack.

Honestly, this year, a team with a quick passing attack, a mobile QB and 2-3 good WR scare me more than a dominant run team. I do think Union holds up better last year against Clarke if Barnett woilve been healthy (he's playing great at UVAW), but I think this years team has fewer quality DBs. Fannon is a very good S and Jenkins is very athletic and talemted (but occasionally will give up a big play) but our LBs aside from Mitchell struggle in pass coverage. The DL can get pressure on slow developing routes, but quick passing attack cost us a chance to win @Richlands scares me. Mobile QBs too, Collier at QB gave us fits. Not really designed run from a QB but just scrambles have hurt Union. Having a young QB scares me at times decision wise, he someti es stares down his primary and doesn't scan the field,but he's impressed me a lot for being a first year starter. Union is much better at running the ball this season, four quality RBs, Turner can run when needed and the passing game is deadly with Mitchell!and Jenkins. I hope Union has ways too get Owens involved more so on offense against better teams, his speed is game changing. I honestly believe any of the top five seeds canwin a state title this year, it will depend on what teams play more efficiently, injuries and matchups. Unions shown they can play w Richlands, and they're as good as anyone. Dan River is elite, Appo is defending champs with a ton of talent and the favorite IMO, Graham might have the best runner in 2A and would give Union a MUCH tougher time than they did last year, and Union has a great team overall. But honestly one of!y biggest worries is the kicking game. Union struggles on PATs, much less any FGs and we all know how crucial every single point is between two good teams.

Hey now guys, Union may have a lilmto say about all this, we did just barely lose at Richlands in OT after having big lead in 4th, don't count us out lol

No but it may hurt Jones' career! Lol

Believe Galax and George Wythe will have somethin to say about that. I'd like to see Hurley do it, they're somewhayb local to me, but I'd have q hard time betting against Galax. They've actually played some very good teams opposed to Hurley whom hasn't been tested.

Don't believe it would've made any difference tbh.

He was a special,special talent. One of the best I've seen since the Jones boys and Babb with my own eyes, haven't seen a lot of the greats out east like Curry or Vick.

Floyd could he Unions first round playoff opponent, could they give the Bears trouble?

It'll be tough for any game to top Union/Richlands. As for this game, I think Blues win 45-35.

Was Hall at Gretna in 2011? No way RV would've been within 50 points of that Gretna team.

Hoiw ya been Stipres? Recovered from the beating my Tide put on your Viles Saturday?

They might end up passing Hurley BC the teams on GW/Galaxs schedule will all finish w great records while Hurley will likely not have the same advantage. And both GW/Galax play several 2A/3A teams.

You and me both man! I love it!

His touch on deepo balls reminds me of last great PV QB, Brad Robbins. Brad was a lefty so it had a lkil diff spin but both him and Bailey throw beautiful deep balls. Turner's accuracy can be spotty in the mid range area but he js awesome downfield.

He throws a beautiful deep pass, has great touch.

Wal Mart Warriors, I love that.

Amen. I wasnt in band,but you guys work very hard a d it takes a lot of work. I called him out on that too, jus total lack of class.

I'd say Turner is around 12-14 totaL TD

Hurley is very good, just now sure they're Galax/GW good.

I love players like that, ones that make big plays that help their team win but don't stand out in box score. For Union, #7 is a great player who doesn't get much credit, as well as most of the OL. All the studs get plenty of credit and rightfully so, but every team needs the glue guys, who play smart and make the small plays to win games.

Never played in the band (and there's nothing wrong with being in the band, shows you lack any class insulting band members, those kids work very hard) and I was up in the stands not yelling at any Wise kid. Maybe laughing a bit at their overall ineptness, but not singling out any one WC player. And I have four family members playing and played in high school, so your whole argument is a fail.

I respect that, its a fair opinion to have. As a BSG/PV alum,I'll defend Phil to the death even tho most everyone outside of Big Stone despises him lol

The VHSL reference rankings. I'm in no way trying to downplay Colleys success, he was a very very good coach. I just think Mullins was the right choice. Plus he's younger too.

I agree the feeder program at Union is great and there are some very talented kids coming up, but smaller 2A schools can't just reload after losing players like 82, 50, 5, 9, etc... From what I hear, #21, Jenkins, his little bro is gonna be a stud. But question for Union guys, why can't we get a reliable kicker? I kmnlw the younger Simon had some issues and isn't wit the team any more, but why aren't we finding a kid young and prepping him to be a consistent kicker by time he's in HS?
