That's not true at all. Union only went to the T inside the 10 yard line. The OL was pushing Marion around out of shotgun with the counters and sweeps.
Later in the game we went heavy T. Owens scored his 4th td. We were in T from about the 25-30 but I was at the far end. Only point I meant was they seemed out of sorts and had only one stop defensively while we were in the T. Wasn’t advocating coming out in it all game. No sir haha.
But will those 3 or 4 runners be in the game at the same time like graham having4 receivers in at the same time to stop.
Yes sir. And any can run it from a base formation. The thing is, Cooke doesn’t seem to like contact on offense. Goes out of bounds a lot. I’m not bashing him. Dandy of a ball player. Do not twist my words please. My question is, can he handle getting snakes in the mouth? A lot? All of our backs, even the smallest one, will lower the boom on people.
And our Front seven has been fantastic this year. But our LB’s have been rock solid as well. They like to hit and track the play very well. Great disciplined corps. People say we don’t cover the pass well. Sure we have gave up some yardage. Who doesn’t. But we also only give up 10.5 PPG. Motown West had a fast defense. Couldn’t handle the pounding they got every play. We are a Turner coached team. Smash mouth is a way of life. If graham can’t with stand the hits, it’ll be a tough night. But if they go toe to toe, could have a great game. I still think Union comes out on top.
If you think Marion's QB or John Battle's QB is just as good as Cam Allen from Graham then you're going to be disappointed Saturday night.
Marion isn't a passing team so if you're sacking them or intercepting them when they're down by 3 scores and pressing then that should be expected. No offense to Marion because Ford is a great player, but if graham goes 4 wide then they will have 4 better receivers on the field at one time than you seen all game last night.
I know Unions front 7 is probably the best Graham has played so far this year but just last week everyone was talking about how Richlands had one of the best defenses in the area when they held Union to 13. Plus Bluefield's starters have only given up around 7 points per game. So it's not like Graham hasn't played any good defenses.
Lastly, I know Union has an awesome home field advantage playing Bullit but don't forget that Graham plays a game in front of more than 10,000 people every year. I don't think that will rattle them as much as what it could other teams.
Richlands also took y’all to OT. Held y’all to 13 through regulation too correct? Sounds like tit for tat when comparing Richlands. Plus Richlands had the benefit of facing us every year and twice this year.
Graham seemed to struggle containing Ford in your Marion game. I’m tickled at the anti Union stuff on here. So pro Tazewell county. We have many more weapons than one player. But hey, y’all might be spot on. But I doubt it. Too many weapons and home field advantage will seal the deal for Union.
Out of simple curiosity. Am I the only grown a$$ man who is excited about Friday night being so close yet so far away?! I feel like a kid at Christmas. I honestly think Union will win by two scores but at the same time I think this will be an epic game. the next 30ish hours cant go by fast enough for me!
Count me in too pal. Got butterflies like when I played lol.
Don't know if this was from the last time it happened or if this is fresh but at the gate closest to the park there's a sign spray painted "Pac the Mac" hmmm....
Since Richlands has seen all 3 (Union twice), who has the best O and D line between Graham, Marion, and Union? I know you two may have not personally seen all of these games, but your contacts with the Richlands coaching staff and players should be enough.
Since Grayson Co has back to back upsets, do they get a 3rd against Graham?
Can Union stop Ford Friday night or can they only hope to contain him?
What does Giles need to do to beat Appomattox?
Will we ever find out the identity of "Trench coat man?"
Which weighs more, the Empire State Building or the Great Pyramid of Giza?
What is the diameter and square footage of the Death Star?
For all the teams that have come to Bullitt Park, how would you rate the fan bases impact on your team and it’s performace. Aka 12th man comparison.
I'm not sure, but I have been told that if a student lives in the same county and chooses to switch schools, its okay as long as they have transportation to and from school. Can anyone tell me if that is correct.
If your talking about after you enter 9th grade, You can transfer you can transfer like that...if you don’t mind setting for 365 days for elegibility. And the court appointed guardian transfer that was mentioned earlier in this thread...it’s a 90 SCHOOL DAY sit. If the family moves, your good to go that day. I’ve heard the vhsl does look into it though.
Entering 9th grade you go where you want and are eligible.
I e thought all season Giles would unseat Appo in Region C. I have no bias towards or against either team. It’s hard to stay hungry for three seasons i would imagine. Not saying Appo isn’t. But it’s easier to take for granted at this point in their impressive run. I’m going with Giles due to their fans backing. Appo can handle the wing. CC will vouch for that. But Giles seems confident theirs is more reliable. Praying for no injuries.
I don't care where your son came from he probably didn't even play. Wasn't talking to you anyway. Did you not notice I was addressing jarhead all for fun remarks.
He was only defensive player of the week for his team last year before a broken neck ended his season. But he came back. Not the same. But still more of a ball player than you probably ever was. That kind of injury will change the way a kid plays. But I hope we meet someday prick. If you “think” we are rude, then I’ll show you a special kind of crazy for talking about my kid. So consider yourself advised douche. Truth be told, your the kid who never put the pads on because you were too afraid. Of you quit when consolidation struck and couldn’t handle having to work for a position. Or your a daddy’s boy and never had to work for anything.
I don't guess jarhead you wanted anyone to know that #43 DE was a transfer from Lee. Also another player from Wise . I always found it helpful to look at my on actions before I stone someone else.
You are right. Union did get a transfer from Wise. MY SON. He’s always wanted to go to Union. Things finally worked out for him to transfer back in feb. not that it’s any of your business. Not every transfer is a sports related one. So before you run your mouth, check your facts. If you want any more of the story, I’ll be glad to talk to you about it. I’m from Appy. My mom works at Union. Our family is there. He is were he belongs. If that bothers you, don’t come to our games.
My son said we didn’t NOT tip the ball. And that pic isn’t very good angle. No depth perception. Not sure what it matters though. Missed kick or tipped. Same end result.
That was a heck of a game as well. Was one of the funniest calls in the huddle when coach Turner asked us what we wanted to do and one of our linemen said kick a field goal. That didn’t go over to well.
He may as well have cussed Coach lol. Kick a field goal ?.
Heck of a ball game, heck of a gameplan by the Richlands D. I tip my hat to you.
You took the words from my mouth. I have more respect for Richlands then any other opponent I’ve ever played. Well coached. Fans are great. Players are polite. I can’t brag enough on the preparation they did against us. Job well done. Heck, I’m proud of them. Great ball game. Reminds me of Appy at Gate City in 1993. The hook and ladder play. Wow!!!! Safe travels back to Richlands all.
Funny you said rude like that. I know a central person that used it like that to describe us. Starting to think the numbers 6 and 3 mean something to you. But that’s fine. Don’t come and join us. Can’t say you weren’t invited.
The reward is up to $3225.00 for info and arrest of the persons who done this 276-523-0117
At 11pm as I was locking my chair to the fence in line at Bullitt Park, a BSG cop pulled up behind me to check what I was doing. We spoke for a couple seconds and he mentioned that the reward was up to $5K he thought now.
If you have followed union all year and are a fan of the beard I encourage you to come on down and tailgate with us I will be there by 7 in the morning. Looking forward to meeting U.
Yes indeed @T52OS, come and join some Bear fans and enlighten us with your knowledge of our program. We are not hard to find. We might even offer you something to eat.
