Graham plays 4 seniors

I could see this game going either way. If Tazewell can keep their head right for 4 quarters they can win. If they unravel as they are capable of doing whether its penalties or thinking they have it in the bag against a good team and they really dont. Then Wise will be playing the winner of Graham/Union.

Have these two teams ever played each other?

What was the score of the Tazewell vs Richlands middle school game? I'm pretty sure they took Richlands to the woodshed and delivered a spanking. I know you can't count on great middle school teams being great varsity teams but if they continue on the path they are on...........

It seems the general consensus is Richlands is greatly improved and stands a good chance of beating Graham. I can see the improvement from their first game against Graham till now. But look at it like this. In that first game Graham's coaches had nothing to go on. Whereas Thad and Co had plenty of film to review. 5 games into the season who's to say with some film to study and more preparation Graham wouldn't spank Richlands more the second time around??

You have to create an atmosphere that kids not only want to play but play hard for you. I can't speak to the atmosphere at GW but when you watch their games it doesn't seem like they make many adjustments. Especially defensively. It can get hard to watch a team pound the ball 20 times in the same gap with no adjustments. Kinda demoralizing as a player.

Keep going strong boys. We are going to have 10 pages of trash talk on the game that never was.

Great idea

I can respect that!!!!

Original

Out of likes for the day. Good point.

I can see the frustration. If it were Graham this happened to I'd be frustrated but at the end of the day I would be pulling for the schools left from our county or our region. There was no doubt in my mind this was going to end in a mess.

If something is mentioned on this board people take 100% to heart. Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor?? YES THEY ARE QUARANTINED! Let's get some crayons out and draw you a picture.

Nope. They on vacation

I couldn't agree more! I wish someone would go wake @Leatherhead Larry and @Grapeapeup. They need to knock the rust off and get on here and talk some trash at least! I miss those guys.

Are we allowed to drop F bombs on here? Asking for a friend.

He took the "Bradshaw factor" completely out of the game. Jo-Jo played a great game. Cassius had a real good game as well. I think he's the one that come up with that fumble recovery. That was one of the best games I've watched period. Im glad both teams made it out without any injuries and can hopefully represent our district in the playoffs.

Has anyone checked on @UVAObserver after the game? I wouldn't have a voice left if I had called that game. Talk about an adrenaline crash!

I watched Central last night. You are right. They are very impressive to say the least. Union isn't too shabby either and for them to beat Union at Union like that says something.

I really don't get how Graham's o-line was able to do as well as they did. Take Meadows out of the equation. The rest of Graham's o-line was much smaller than Tazewell. I really thought this was going to be the game we seen Graham's o-line not only bend but break. Having kids that much bigger leaning on you for that long is tough.

In my honest opinion halftime is what cost Tazewell the game. Great game Bulldogs.

The radar looks bad till at least 3 o'clock for the Tazewell area.

Hard to believe its been 11 years.

I noticed that. Pretty impressive to watch for sure. They execute well.

Is Central predominantly Jr's and Sr's?
