Stream not working for me. Internet is fine.

Im picking Graham in this one. Not impressed with Appo's offense. Theyve not put up many points against their above average competition. Defenses look pretty even. Barring any crazy turnovers or penalties i say Graham 38-24

You know, they stopped sounding the train horn about midway through the second qtr, LMAO.  Also, the Union stadium announcer is a guy I feel sorry for.  This guy is so depressed that his voice is actually cracking as he's calling the game.  I think the guy literally might have been crying a bit in the late 1st qtr.  Also, Union played the train horn up until the snap of the football all through the first qtr.  That's a bad look, period.  I'm a horn man.  I love horns and whistles and stuff, but playing them literally during the cadence is not cool.  Either way, the train horn has ran out of gas. 

Whats it matter? What are you gonna say next year if SWD dominates M7? Apparently like they did last year when it was an average Richlands (that went to Ridgeview and WALLOPED them) and Graham in the title game. It goes in cycles. Dont agree with 4 team format. I think you'd see a lot of teams scheduling mid tier 1a teams. Just look at GC who almost took down the number 2 team in the region.

Nothing is impossible. Give it all you got Bulldogs

Yep. Lost to Cave Spring. 
 
Also Richlands losing Cody Howie for the state title game against Appo in 16 when he was ejected for two boneheaded penalties. 

Speed makes a huge difference and if Graham doesn't beat itself, it will walk through Radford if both get that far.  Trust me, forget about Radford.  Appomattox has completely kicked it into another gear.  They are pulling a Graham of 2018 right now, just like Graham did about 2/3rds of the way through the regular season, the improvement is through the roof.  Appomattox will beat Radford by at least....at least 3 TDs when the two play in the playoffs, if Radford gets past round two.  Look for Gretna to beat Radford in round two when the two schools play again, but regardless of who wins, it's not going to matter.  Gretna, Appomattox, and Glenvar, none of them are within 2 TD's of Appo at this point.  

Yes. If you’re ejected you miss the current game and all of the next game. 

I think so but ive heard it takes refs and both schools to agree. Thats for sure on any other ejection just not sure if its different with targeting.

The refs need to be 100% sure on targeting in high school, it would be nice if somehow they could see a replay before ejecting a kid.

Lebanon  is so young but they are going to keep getting  better 13 plus freshman playing. 

I just don't get it. That's all im gonna say.

Tonight was the worst I seen the Blues db's play all season.....

Yeh that definitely was a safety. Yall got robbed with that one. But i had a clear view of the 4th and goal and  he was a half a yard short. But Graham flat out spanked us tonight. Terrible play calling for one. When Palmer knows u, u gotta switch it up. Think they shouldve kept Webb in the backfield. He wasnt contributing at WR with the double teams. Then u go empty backfield when theyre dropping 9 guys? Play calling needs work and im sure its a lot to do with executing. 
Unless we meet again im pulling for Graham. But if Graham happens to meet Radford again i see them playing a closer game than we did. Yalls line isnt on par with your stud LBs and secondary. They make up for the very small defensive line. I can only imagine what kind of defense Graham would have if the D-line was on par with the rest of the defense. I can see Radford's monster lineman getting to the 2nd level to block Edwards and Kastner if they happen to meet. They beat Glenvar tonight so it looks like it might be Radford or Appo. But of course theres Union and Ridgeview. Should be a great playoff.

Holding on 54 on the bad snap. No call. Hahaha. Yall are winning and still making excuses.

Home cooking down in Richlands 

So what is the pint of playing tougher competition lol. I was sure that you got lower points for playing down. But you are on top of this stuff and I look for your posts to figure things out. Typical vhsl I guess haha. RV May stay ahead of us if this is the case with their 1a OOC. Bunch of crap lol. But if Pikeville throws like paintsville then they may be in trouble. They didn’t cover us very well. Tough task for them. 

Silly that you get equal points playing down or even close to it.  But that being said,  tough schedule is gonna be better come mid November through December.  

I agree. Wouldve loved to seen Tazewell healthy. Feel bad for the kids. Hopefully theyre not seniors and will be back next year. They may get a home game in the playoffs. Would like to see them win one. Or heck maybe even two.

Not sure I'd agree with SWD being the weakest ever. Richlands is always in the mix, Graham is back to their old ways and who knows what Tazewell could've done this year without the injuries. Just for comparison look at the Mountain 7 excluding Abingdon since theyre 3A. You have 2 top teams. Union and Ridgeview, and Graham and Richlands. After that both districts have a significant falloff. Yeh Wise is 4-2 but they beat the easy teams and got whipped by the good teams so how good are they really? They barely beat Va High. Va High is winless, Lee is winless. Battle has only won one game with a loss to a very down Marion team. Lebanon is winless and GC has 2 wins. In no way am i saying SWD is better than Mountain 7 just using it for comparison. They look very similar in my opinion. So if you say this the weakest the SWD has been for a while could you not say the same about the Mountain 7? 

Let me make sure I got the fallacy down just to be sure....
A. Narrows is undefeated.
Because Narrows is undefeated, they are infallible. There is no room or need for improvement or thoughts or opinions that might......just might...make them better BECAUSE Narrows is undefeated. I just wanted to be sure I had it down. 
B. If the poster is the wide receiver's parent, then automatically that means the WR should not get the ball more even if it makes the team better. 
Literally, a textbook definition for fallacy demonstrated two times with only a 15 word statement.
 

He passed the ball 9 times last night....it’s not like it’s McCracken or Asbury out there slinging it 30 times a game. I’m not 100% sure, but I can only recall 2 first down passing plays in the entire game. Opening the playbook for Simmons isn’t about passing early. It’s about giving him more options in the read option game and more RPO’s...along with a more complex route tree for when we do pass it. 

Tazewell will still make the playoffs. Will they have any injured players back by then?
