Turned on NFHS to see a coach in the huddle putting his hair up while trying to talk to the players. Yeah you read that right. May want to wait till you get back on the sidelines to fix that bun so you can focus on the play calling. Another terrible play calling night.
Judging solely from the scores, has Union been the best team Graham has played? This demolishing of Pulaski shorthanded is monstrously impressive.
Yes. The Union folks on this board are masters of deception. Yall have to be good poker players. I will say that something tells me that Bluefield is better than what their record shows but I may be wrong.
Gonna be 48 degrees up there at kickoff and drop to about 39 by halftime. I hope NFHS Network works well and is on its game tonight, because I'm saving my Mitchell Stadium trip for Ridgeview vs Bluefield. I'm gonna hit Double Gates Grocery and the hotdogs hard for that Ridgeview game. I start with 5 dogs, then get 5 more to go for the parking lot at the game. My wife eats 3 and she's only a buck ten.
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.
What was his dad's name and about when did he graduate? I recall that last name but can't remember his first name.
I said more than I should have last night obviously. We have that ironed out now. Things got a little carried away and those of us that normally keep our cool didn't do so well. Whatever you do @GMan don't shut this down because of me. I'll bow out before i would ruin the fun for everyone else.
I get what you’re saying, but let’s be honest about it - how many years are SWVA teams really playing for a state championship? Obviously Graham has made it a couple times in the last few years but they’ve had once in 20 year type athletes on those teams. Other than that Union threatened once or so but that’s it.
And it’s not like this is something new. Rivals have been playing for things other than bragging rights for years. People in McDowell county will still talk you about the Welch vs. Gary games where they played for the “Barrel” for 40 years. They haven’t played that game since around 1978(?) but it obviously it meant a lot to those two communities if the conversation is continuing in 2022.
Lebanon and Honaker play for the Coal Bowl trophy.
Graham and Bluefield play for the Great American Rivalry trophy (and hats).
Patrick Henry (not glade spring) plays for the Tomato Bowl.
Appomattox plays for the “Axe” against Buckingham.
Only 1 team Per division can be state champs. Nothing wrong in my opinion with giving some of the other teams something to look forward to during the season.
I will say, I wish some of the teams played for something other than trophies. Back of the dragon is missing a good opportunity to make Tazewell & Marion play for a barrel or a keg to silently promote the brewery lol
Valid points. You proved I'm old and narrow minded.😂😂
Yes and Mr. James C. Ramey was a huge part of the Tazewell and Richlands Community. He was greatly respected. How many rivalries across the country have trophies associated with them? Too many to count.
I understand he was a huge part in both communities. I also understand it's pretty hard to hand a trophy back and say you don't want it. I'm a jerk but I understand where you are coming from. My question is at what point does it all become so much that kids lose focus on what should be the ultimate goal? Whether it's Tazewell, Graham, Union, etc.
I agree. Let those kids and their friends and family celebrate. This is what a true rivalry should be like. Celebrate beating your rival. Enjoy this win Bulldogs!!
Tazewell was down for so long I'm glad to see some energy and excitement in their program. Any time you beat your county rival it's a big deal. At what point does the t-shirts, parades, and regular season trophies become too much? BTW the James Ramey trophy got "gang banged" on the bus going down Main St. last night. Not a good look on social media.
Yeah from the games I’ve seen this year I’m not impressed with anyone. I thought Graham and Ridgeview had a shot at state early in season but it’s not looking good for this end of state. Hopefully someone here can step up
I agree. Other than Radford I don't see a dominant team this way.
Well I knew they weren’t gonna win but a 3 point game with 9 minutes left isn’t exactly over. I think they played good tonight just couldn’t get a 3rd or 4th down stop and too many penalties AGAIN
How many PF and unsportsmanlike penalties did both sides get at the beginning of the game? That was a mess.
This is about the only away game that I look forward to going to just for that reason. Great facilities and beautiful mountain views!
I've never been to RV field. Just watching a little bit on NFHS, is the sun ad bad as it looks on the home side? It may just be that camera on nfhs but it seems like it is cutting the retina out of yours eyes for the part of the game. That stadium does look really nice though.
Edwards demolishing defense, will make the packs offense run around like a chicken with its head cut off. with a mix of blitzs and zone coverage
Alright coach I got a question for you. Every week your fans talk trash about your defense, offense too but that's for another day. Let's hear your side of the story. Is the defense good or are they just making crap up?
