When I was in Blfd Va, I saw a middle school Richlands BBplayer karate kick Shane Compton into the stands at Richlands, I saw a Richlands wrestler smack the Gmen wrestler in the face after the match when he should've shook hands. I saw plenty of other stuff from Richlands, but it would just go on. They're the most unsportsmanlike school athletics, I've ever seen. Go G-Men and score 43 more...
Richlands’ fan screaming for Graham players to take a knee & show some respect. Player walked off the field on his own accord. 🤦 Sorry but I don’t think either team has to kneel every single time a player is down. If it’s obviously something dire or serious, okay.
This call had me irate. Calls were awful on both sides all night but this one just put the Cherry on top. Those officials should never have the chance to officiate another game.
I don’t know much about Princeton, but I think Bluefield wins this game. Probably a close game. Bluefield has a good squad and they have athletes. They just need to find their grove on offense and much like Graham stop with the penalties. If Bluefield loses then Beaver nation will be in an uproar. Losing to Graham and Princeton both 3 years in a row….
The difference in this game imo is Graham stopping the big play from Bluefield which will give Graham's inexperienced QB time to get comfortable as the season goes along. Meaning....Graham's going to be run heavy early on and that will kill lots of clock and shorten games (clock keeps moving) until the QB and passing game come along. If the game is shortened against an opponent you are probably better than, the last thing you want to do is allow that opponent to score with Big plays. It's unlikely, especially with the loss of Hairston, that Bluefield is simply going to drive the field with 12 to 14 play drives and score on Graham's defense more than 2 times in this game. This means if you're Graham, don't allow the big play. Bluefield will be playing run on defense knowing the QB is young and inexperienced. Graham will have about 3 to 4 occasions in this game where a WR is running completely wide open. Graham needs to go 1 for 2 (50% of these need to be throws that hit the receiver). If Graham does this by not allowing the big play on defense, and they can connect on 50% of what will be 3 or 4 times in this game where a WR is running wide open, they win.
If Graham goes 1 for 4 or 0 for 4 on those occasional moments where they have a WR running wide open and the ball doesn't get there or is overthrown, and if Bluefield hits 2 huge big plays to score quick without being forced to drive the field for points, Bluefield will win the game. or the game will go right down to the wire with Bluefield having a chance to win Just my opinions and that opinion is LIMITED. I watched Graham against James Monroe and I watched Bluefield only for a 2 minute or so clip against Staunton, so again I admit, a very limited opinion.
This analysis is spot on. Good ole Freddy always has a trick play or two up his sleeve. For Graham to win, they have to stop the big play. That’s what kept Bluefield in the game last year when Graham should have shut them down. A 27-12 lead at halftime shouldn’t end in a 29-25 win, even though Graham won. Bluefield always has the mental advantage for whatever reason. Palmer has done a good job at changing that aspect. Graham has to get over the fact that the team lining up against them has that beaver on the jersey.
