Any of you all have Satterfields ypc average? I would like to see him get more touches. I could be wrong, but it seems whenver Johnny Satterfield totes the rock, the rock gets moved a minimum of 5 yds. His pappy was the same way at Lee High back in the day, except his pappy had some serious burst/dangerous speed.
Yeah dad and son where two completely different players one with power and other with speed
And for the real old timers in 1965 and 1966 Appalachia in 20 games had 13 shutouts and allowed 66 total points little before my time though. I'd assume that was the Edd Clark teams. Julius and Thomas Jones uncle.
The 92 Appalachia defense was great also gave up 142 points in 14 games and 8 games of 1 TD or less and alot of those points were scored on reserves. Only loss was to Gate City. The 93 defense gave up more points but offense scored so much the reserves played most 2nd halves
If he's good enough colleges will find him no matter where he's at unless it's Fuentes who can't see talent an hour or two down the road as Graham fans would know
Union will be prepared. As frustrated as Union folks are about their defensive coaches is how frustrated RV is with their offensive coaching. The RV offense has unlimited potential but has been operating well below their expectations and potential. I would expect some new packages and looks against Union and I would expect Union to have a few new wrinkles.
This game will be decided by turnovers and if RV can come out and match Union’s early intensity. Another big factor will be which version of O’Quinn shows up. It will be interesting to see how Union handles their defensive alignments in #7 and #13. If RV goes 2x 2 and keeps those two together on the same side they should see single coverage…decided advantage for RV. I see a close game.
I'm not as frustrated with the defense as much as the offense. On the defensive side the biggest issue is youth with 4-5 freshman playing most of the game. Now on offense is where most of the frustration is with the play calling and not able to make an adjustment and of course no passing threat whatsoever
Union is going to running clock Tommy Walker and Duk the Cook. Will not be close or competitive. Tommy Walker is 1-4 and no match for one of the top 7 (in my opinion) class 2 teams in the state. No offense to TW, but this is a complete mismatch.
Don't be shocked if its under 20. TW very capable of slowing game down to keep it close
To whoever said, until Union shows a little passing game and shows teams they can complete a few and try to keep the defense honest, they will see 11 men in the box, with all 11 coming to stop the run with no worry at all about the passing game, is this #10 fault?? No definitely not, but at some point a few changes have to be made, or you will never make it past Round 1!
If you go back and watch Graham game they where literally leaving a receiver uncovered on some plays because they knew Union couldn't throw. Like we've mentioned its not bashing the kid he's just stuck playing a position he shouldn't be playing and he himself would probably rather be at another position.
If turner has made any good decision this year it is keeping #10 at QB. Tired of y’all bashing this kid when he is a top player in the district. Yes Sykes has had his moments but I would much rather have 10 running my offense. Y’all are forgetting the fact that the O line is gonna be the same and the Sykes kid will not escape pressure as well as 10 does. Y’all need to start thinking about the other factors of switching QBs . Throw power, footwork, mobility is all 10 while the Sykes kid has slightly better accuracy but hardly at all. 10 has turned many what should be 10 yd sacks into 10-15yd gains this year.
Who's bashing him he's a great player but not a QB. If Sykes was QB defenses wouldn't have 11 men on LOS to stop the run either. And quit liking your own comments there's 3 new Union posters on here that all agree with each other it's obvious you've opened 3 accounts
Sykes showed he could throw the ball well in the Elizabethton scrimmage, and the GW benefit game. I am taking nothing away from the current QB, the kid is an athlete and can make plays, but not from the QB position. Put him in the backfield or at WR and get him some touches, and let him make some plays. I agree he would make a difference on the defensive side of the ball as well, not scared of contact. Cochran not on the field blows my mind, the kid put in a ton of work from last season to this season, and from what I heard had a excellent summer at the 7 on 7 games, and I thought for sure he would be out there on the defensive side of the ball. Satterfield not touching the ball more than 4 to 5 times a game is just insane, Satterfield has blocked for every running back that he has played with and got his few carries here and there, and seems to always be getting tough yards, and running hard nosed, and BAM he no longer gets more than 4 to 5 carries a game.........
Not sure why Union took Zach Hall from center, he has been a starter at center his whole high school career if I am not mistaken, and Izaak Keith is stout at the MLB position, and had played on the line for a couple of years, and now he's not even playing offense. I understand that you want to keep as many kids from going both ways as much as possible, but when the job is not getting done, it's time to suck it up, and put your best 11 out there, whether you have to have kids going both ways or not. Sitting at 3-2, with Thomas Walker, Ridgeview, Abingdon, Central and John Battle left, you would think changes would be made, and the best 11 would be placed on the field, no matter whose mommy's or daddy's get their feelings hurt.
Agree with everything you said, this season has many scratching their heads about what's going on
Smart teams to going to play tonight. The weather for tomorrow has been changing rapidly. Gonna be alot of schools that wish they would have acted sooner. Union moving their start time 30 minutes may not matter a bit.
