Well said!

The most important game is the next game, and for the G-Men tonight that opponent and game is Grayson County, not Galax. Stay focused on Grayson tonight G-Men and bring home a district W

Game day ... Good luck G-Men!

So there is a good chance that DR & Appo ends up 9-1 each.
 
Graham needs to hope Richlands gets clipped by Abingdon and pray they can outplay Mark Dixon's bunch.
 
All of those things happening aren't very likely but for Graham to even have a chance at the #1 seed late in the season is a complete 180 from where they were just a couple years back.

Ben Meade was simply awesome in the QB position during this game. He saved the G-Men numerous times on 3rd down. Very impressed with his decisions and even more impressed to know he is a great guy off the field as well.

Apparently not only did the kids learn from the Richlands game but the coaches did as well. Tonight was an overall good team effort by the coaches and players. Abingdon come out in the 2nd half and was dead. I was glad to see Cousin get the ball more. Great job by Ballard tonight. He played his best game. Meade is a gamer for sure. Proud of the Gmen!!

Cousin may have had the biggest night but the runs by Meade were crucial. Good job by both teams.

You may be the only person on this board who doesn't know that UVAO graduated and pulls for Graham.

Everyone is expecting a high scoring game, and while it very well may be one, I don't expect it to be the 55-44 score it was last year. Graham's defense is improved from last year, especially the run defense. Bluefield scored 34 but some of that was garbage time. Richlands scored 31 but a couple scores were from very short fields and aided by 15 yard penalties. They held Tazewell, 2A's highest scoring team fwiw, to 12 and held Giles to 14 on their home field. That's only averaging about 22 points given up per game. For people that have followed Graham the last few years that's pretty impressive considering we're less than two years removed from giving up 70 to GC in the playoffs.
 
With all that being said, I think graham is in for its toughest matchup yet. Abingdon's offense is comparable to Richlands except for the fact that they have a RB threat, and Sturgill seems more athletic and more capable to tuck it and run than Asbury. Imo they don't have the same caliber receivers that Richlands does so they can probably afford to play Cousin closer to the line to help out with the run.
 
My opinion for Graham to win the game is
1. Feed Cousin the ball.
2. Many jet sweeps and bubble screens to Cooke.
3. Bend but don't break on D.
4. FEED COUSIN THE BALL.
 
If they do I got Graham 38-24.
 
If not Abingdon 42-28

Richlands will win big, and I mean big.

I would pick Richlands over the Cavaliers at this point.

If you can explain to me how a player standing straight up who fumbles the football, and it is recovered by the other team, then given back to the team that fumbled I'd love to hear you out When two refs pointed Graham ball btw I might add

Game day ... Good luck G-Men!

I think we will see an exciting football game Thursday evening for sure.  I just hope the GHS band can perform the National Anthem this time without butchering it.  There is absolutely no doubt in my mind being a trumpet player and performing the National Anthem in front of 10 or 12 thousand would be tough and my hat is off to all those kids out there doing it.  No matter what sport you play hearing our National Anthem and what it stands for can get your head straight and ready to go.  A good friend of mine in high school played the Anthem solo as a trumpet player.  I always admired him for getting out there and nailing it week in and week out.  So GHS band we're pulling for you too!!!

At least Graham can say they play Bluefield every year win or lose. They don't drop them from the schedule or refuse to pick them up because they are afraid of losing like a few other local teams in the area I won't mention.

I can't speak for Bluefield but I can for Graham. I think we have a decent fan base for the size of our school and our town but if Graham isn't winning, our fans aren't coming unless it's against Bluefield, Tazewell, or Richlands. And if we are playing on a Saturday you can forget about it because our fans are either in Morgantown or Blacksburg.  It was that way when I was in school but then again we weren't winning much either.

Predictions or thoughts about this game? I have only seen Graham play and just heard Tazewell on the radio. Usually a pretty good game between these two county rivals. The dawgs always play the G-Men tough. I see Cousins having a big night tonight. Final Graham 35 Tazewell 20
