I heard that too this morning and another defensive starter out. Tough loss on the line for the GMen. They had zero depth the way it was. We all knew this would be Graham’s Achilles heal this season. Some younger guys may have to grow up fast.
On a different note, the Hood kid that Princeton got from Mountview is an outstanding athlete. Very impressive showing against Bluefield.
Tanner is doing a great job at Princeton. If he stays, Princeton will be in the mix more often than not.
I heard some talk this morning Graham is in fact down some starters for today. This may be where lack of depth on the line hurts them. A couple younger kids may get a chance to grow up today. Let’s hope they can rise to the occasion and no one else gets injured.
Freddy must have lit a fire under the Beavers. There were noticeably some players (starters) missing tonight. I’m guessing discipline measures were taken to adjust some attitudes. It must have worked for the ones who remained because I don’t think Bluefield got a single unsportsmanlike penalty and I didn’t see any helmets flying , back talking, or arguing etc. like last week. Bluefield will continue to fine tune things and meet up with someone in Charleston.
GPAs are higher but kids lack basic communication skills, lack social skills, life skills, and emotional intelligence. That actually could apply to a lot of adults these days. Internet & phones are definitely two edged swords.

I apologize if this has already been shared on another thread.
I agree if they’re just about as good as last year, it’s going to be battle. GMen don’t shy away from quality competition. Hopefully, they rise to the occasion & just stay healthy.
I have no clue if Lowe would have stayed under Davis or the dynamic of their relationship. A series of unfortunate events for Richlands in the grand scheme of things and obviously things worked out well for Lowe. It is an interesting “what if” to ponder though.
Imagine if they’d hired Davis after Mance left & Aaron Lowe had stayed on as an assistant under Davis. Coaching continuity and an elite QB plus other players that followed Lowe to Honaker.
Graham’s line gave the Palmer kid lots of time to throw and make plays and I would imagine Princeton do the same for their QB. Those boys are massive. Bluefield’s secondary needs some work. Princeton may be able to exploit that but I still favor Bluefield. Capital just wasn’t a good measurement for the Tigers as far as how they’ll do against a quality opponent. Capital is just not good.
