Graham will be honoring fallen officer Michael Chandler tomorrow with a sticker on their helmets. Fans are asked to wear blue in his honor as well. The Graham Football Boosters and the girls basketball basketball team will be donating their half of the 50/50 tomorrow to the family of Michael Chandler.
Come out tomorrow to the game and support this great family.
Such a class act, I along with the rest of the Big Stone Gap Police family,WCSO , Va State Police and Michael’s family are so touched by Union Bears and Graham’s football and school kindness . Thank you , football is just a game but this is truly life at its best
Look out boys, the keyboard commandos have landed and the grammar is well in hand. Those who point out imperfections on social media should really get a job or life, or start donating their time and skills at being perfect to a literacy programs. As I sit here thinking about my past life as a Marine I came to realize that certain words that I used to use didn’t even need punctuation or even used properly as I don’t Care , go Yourself or my favorite Off you Tard , But I no longer use such words, but I may still think them. Just a thought ,
THOMAS JONES was told he is not div 1 he still owns records at UVA, J JONES his brother was told he would never see the field at NOTRE DAME. both were drafted and played in the NFL, HEATH MILLER,and east TN JASON WHITTEN all had great careers ,so this SWVA has no chance or talent thing kills me.LOMAX can play with anyone, same with BRADSHAW,BEAVERS ECT....look at APPO. loads of talented kids as well as VA HIGH
I’ll be interested to see if your prediction plays out. Central seems to be clicking on all cylinders right now. Apparently, the seniors have been talked about since little league. They are supposed to be “the group”. They’ve got some great athletes, well disciplined. I’m not sure how well they can defend against Ridgeview if they come out putting it up successfully. Beavers is definitely a playmaker. Will it be enough to defeat Central twice?
Only senior class that could have been drafted if there was a draft.I know its legal ,but what are you saying to the MEN playing kids?I didnt like it when gate city did it and i still dont like the hold back rule.Maybe they are going to use the COVID NCAA RULE and play again next year
This game is going to be a nail bitter. If Graham plays like they did the first time Union will make it interesting. Graham needs to fully game plan against Lomax. You stop him you stand a chance. Not going to be easy though.
they game planned for LOMAX or LOAD-MAX back in the spring and SATTERFIELD took it to the HOUSE
I read on Twitter that Officer Chandler scored the last TD in Powell Valley football. Such a sad , senseless death. Prayers for his family, friends, coworkers, & community.
THAT is true, he always bragged about it, loved that kid
I just read that the athlete must live with a parent, no aunts uncles,gradpaws ect,So if they move it looks like he may be able to play. IT IS STILL A HUGE RISK waiting on grades conduct records and TEAM CHEMISTRY,some of the other players working out all summer and then some newbie takes their spot on the depth chart????
I thought the VHSLrule was "if you competed in another state in a sport,you could not play in that sport until the following season'????or is that for in state transfers only????.There is a big risk there too, just ask GRAHAM CLARK (FORMER DB COACH AND AT THE TIME CHILHOWIE COACH, he had a kid transfer in late and only used on the kickoff teams, he was found to be outside the eligible guild lines ,so they forfeited 10 games that year and they should have won state
I am just curious what everyone's take is on Turner at Union. He has been the head ball coach since 2011, and has lead the Bears pretty well. This being his 10th year, and still no state championship, just wondering if anyone thinks its time to look somewhere else or if Turner coaches as long as he wants to for the Bears???
He has beaten everyone in the region, he has guided the Bears to the state semis , Appomattox has beat us every time , but who have they not . A injury here or there has kept the Bears from making that next step. You know Graham wishes he would go somewhere else
I for one expect a good game, as for Va High they had a bad game against Richlands , and the Blues had a great game. Everyone has a bad game , Unions was against Central, but the Warriors had a little to do with that. The Bearcats will come in ready to play , and I expect them to use play action to Thomas and try to go over the top with many many many QB draws just like the GMEN did
Rumor has it that Thomas from Va High has a bad hamstring, I have heard that carrying around a sack of 100 lb rocks on you back helps that , it’s true, there are no Union coaches that have bad hamstrings
That's even worse. Actually, that's more pathetic. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the principals made the decision without the Head Football Coaches having a clue until the deal was done. I can't be sure of that though. I don't know and don't claim to know.
AD , is sometimes the head coach, sometimes the principal….just saying , one in the same
All Va High needs to do is watch the Abingdon game. Put in the I formation and run lead 7 about 20 times. Union defense was unable to stop the play.
Yeah and get 5 linemen who go like 300 lbs and can bench like 500 lbs , yeah that’s all they have to do. Last night Jervis was playing LB in the middle at times, he seemed to get more tackles there
John S Battle field , I love how close you are to the action, hate Central’s setup , you are too far away and the visitors stands are low , you just can’t see anything
