This thread has taken more turns than a Watkins Glen road course. So why not add another.
Why has there not been any type of wvva story or BDT article on Chancellor? If there has been I apologize. What this kid bounced back from with his knee is pretty darn remarkable if you ask me. He worked his butt off just for one more shot at playing football. Not only has he made it back he's still good and fun to watch.
Tazewell does have a veteran team and I hope they win Friday night. I'm not sure what you mean by they have been there before. Furthermore Graham plays a tough Union squad Saturday and if I'm not mistaken Tazewell plays a very tough Central team. Pump your brakes a couple times and take care of business Friday before you worry about another game lol
Thats a good question. I don't know enough about the Abingdon kid to say one way or the other. Like @Real Sasquatch said Fritz has really good balance. He's a 4x State Champion in wrestling and he has 2018 football ring as well. Football is the ultimate TEAM sport and I dont like bragging too much on particular kids but he's a workhorse.
*****No I'm not his dad lol
I'm glad to see someone else is willing to give Fritz some credit. Im sure I'll catch some grief for this but IMHO he's the best back we've had since Jamorya.
I don't see this Graham team using the quarantine as an excuse. I could see the first half being a little sloppy but after that I think they'll settle in and be good to go. 3 days of practice obviously isn't the ideal situation to be in especially against Union. I cant wait for Saturday to get here! These two teams seem to always put on a good show.
I believe it was @UVAObserver that said a few weeks ago the region needed to release a statement on the playoff format. Did the other regions base their playoff seedings from the points system and take the top 4 in their respective region?
Buddy that's a great question. I've heard so many stories on the process behind this. Card games, corn hole tournament, and a pissing contest. I think a game of "Horse" is what finally decided it. Union being the basketball state champs obviously won that and here we are.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't Union undefeated at Mitchell Stadium against Graham?
Obviously a short week of practice for Graham coming off a quarantine. With only 4 seniors on this team I still like their maturity. They showed me quite a bit last week battling back against a veteran Tazewell team.
I'm terrible with predictions to begin with much less this year. I'm a little leary of these Appo and Union guys downplaying their teams😂 On the other hand I'm not sure where @BigWinners thinks us SWD guys are bragging or something about our teams. Heck we've spent the last 3 weeks trash talking each other like a big family feud. Lol
My prediction for this game is the same prediction I made last week with Tazewell/Graham. If the score has more than 7 points separation I'll be surprised. This should be a really good game.
When I say Graham plays 4 seniors I probably should've said they have 4 seniors on the team period. All 4 do play. I may be wrong on this but I think for the most part Graham's starters are sophomores for the most part.
