Mountain Football

Unfortunately I don't see Tazewell beating Richlands this year. With Harris and Jones out it's going to be hard to get much offense going.

I think GC wins this one. Watching film from both of these teams I'll give the edge to GC. If I'm a GW coach after watching film he needs to be charging a couple of his starters an admission fee for the game. One LB in particular literally watches numerous plays and takes himself out of the play. The GC kids seem to be working hard and buying into the program. Gate City 24 GW 17

I have no doubt as hard as this young man works he will overcome this setback. He is a great kid with a great attitude and work ethic. Very unfortunate set of circumstances that didn't have to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Mance go a while without playing Bluefield for this reason?

Glad to see Jared out there. That kid has a TON of heart. He could bring a spark to that team.

I have a feeling the Chris Akers thread may be in danger of getting over thrown.

You are correct. Pitiful

If in fact some of those changes happen, especially one of them playing on the line. I will buy you a frosty😂 I'm not disagreeing with your thinking but the social media world would be turned upside down. Facebook would explode.

I can see now these train horns cause some serious chafing......

The Graham player invited the Union player to McDonald's after the game. He said something about getting the "school discount". Ref didn't find it too funny........15 yarder

I deleted what I originally typed. Feelings seem to get hurt easily. Lol Great post!!! Couldn't agree more!!

They put a "shrine" in the locker room every week.

Speaking of places to eat. I heardThe Last Fountain in Bluefield, Va was closing after 80+ years.

At this point if Turner scores a long touchdown he might as well head back to the huddle because it's getting called back. I dont know how many TD's he's had called back this year.

I'm not sure what to make of Graham yet. I really don't think they have played to their potential yet. With Kastner out last night it threw the defense out of sync. Blevins stepped up and played great especially since he had to figure out the single wing offense from Giles. Offensively I thought the new QB threw a pretty ball and seems to be accurate. I knew the Ray kid had some wheels but dang he has another gear I'm not sure anybody had seen until last night. Will Union be making any videos before this game? If so please share them with us! That was good stuff last year.

#33 is a beast. Fun to watch!

They were lost

You are probably not the only one that thinks that but I'd say you are one of the few from Richlands that does. Now as an opposing fan if he wants to hang it up that's fine by me! Lol. In all honesty for the kids in this part of the state he has done well to get them attention that may not have happened. A coach like Mance doesn't come around very often so hoping he hangs it up isn't in the best interest for Richlands or the surrounding schools. That's just my opinion. Take it for what its worth.

That's great news!!

What's the latest on Harris?

Ok thanks. The Eddie Neel I recall hearing about that played at Graham would have played at the same time or near the same time as Kenny Bourne.

Did I see an obituary for Eddie Neel recently or am I imagining things?? Seems like I saw a social media post about it or something along those lines.

You may be surprised who has been rubbed the wrong way by this transfer. Hopefully it will all work out in the end without too many getting upset.

I recall this...it's amazing how things come full circle.

After last Friday's thrashing I'm not sure Tazewell is even close to being in the same auditorium as the better programs much less the same stage. This comment may not age well but appeared to be the same Tazewell from last year. Actually they give Graham a much better game last year. Hopefully they can get back on track this week.
