I agree with all this especially the sportsmanship. Players from both teams exhibited great sportsmanship in my opinion. Honestly, both played hard and both have tremendous athletes. I’ve not seen one Union person saying anything negative about any Union player. I don’t know what’s being said on Facebook but it’s obviously not an accurate representation of this board or the Union posters on here.

Glenvar has an elite soccer program & I’m betting their kicker is part of it. Graham’s kickers play soccer too and are pretty good there as well. Should be a great showdown … offensive vs defensive battle & perhaps special teams shootout. We’ll see come Saturday which team comes to play & win!

Basically the same stats but it sure seemed like Union was on offense at least 70% of the game. I’d be interested to see that breakdown on the actual minutes each team was on offense. Union is ground & pound and experts on eating that time up.

You & @Wave#24 Grandson might have to make a friendly wager 😂😂😂😂. I just hope the GMen can win whether it’s one point when the clock hits 00:00 or more than that.

Regular season game in September should be a good one for sure. Union has some athletes. Bostic, Chandler, Anderson, Burns, & couple others were in on a lot of the defensive tackles.

He joined in 2010 & hasn’t posted but five times. He’s not a very devoted GMen fan if he is 😂😂😂😂. We need serious fans not fare weather ones.

@Wave#24 Grandson who started a duplicate thread disagrees. He says Glenvar & it won’t even be close.

FYI: There is already a thread for this game.

I don’t know much about current Glenvar team other than they have a rich football tradition and their QB is a playmaker. I’m not sure if he’s as good as Clark was from Radford last year but Graham will need to stop him in order to prevail. Thoughts from others?

Very conservative play calling, when you’re down by two scores, you’ve got to pull out all the stops & eating up the clock on every drive won’t help if you cant capitalize on those drives. Union could move the ball and did very successfully getting numerous 1st downs. Graham made the big stops when it mattered most.

Princeton intercepts…should do it! Edit: score 34-20

Respect Union & their program! Chandler & Bostic are tough. Chandler especially, he just lets defenders pile on him and carries them for added yardage. He really does remind me of the Forbes kid from Central Woodstock. I was really expecting a close game even though a lot of Union folks were saying otherwise. I give props to those kids from Union, they kept fighting and grinding away. I do agree with Union folks on here, play calling was terrible.

I was a little shocked too. I figured he’d go long & try to get a score.

Graham up 7-0 halftime. What a defensive battle! Chandler & Bostic just keep going. Tough kids!

Does it have adequate seating & parking? That might be the issue but not sure.

Rye Cove should but does their stadium meet requirements for state semi-final?

Yeah, that was pretty bad. I still hope Rue Cove puts it all over Grayson though.

Those miscues can cost you a close playoff game. It will be interesting to see if one or the other gets it together the remainder of the game & comes away with the win. Either way, I hope they curbstomp Grayson.

The saying in these parts is “Union is Union” and Union is never to be taken lightly. Bostic gets some space, he’s fast. Chandler just keeps churning. He’s hard to bring down. He runs low & compact.

Have you heard if he’s out for sure? If he’s back, it might be a hard win for Eastside. Either way, I think it’s a lot closer than the regular season match up. Both teams seem to be rolling right now. I plan on watching if it’s on NFHS. If not, I hope I can find a radio broadcast at least.

There’s no way! It was a one point game in regular season. Don’t get me wrong I’d love that to be the final score but I think Union comes to make a statement and it’s close. I could be wrong but hope you’re right 😂.

Grayson is ridiculous!!! Crazy! No respect for that leadership whatsoever!

Fingers crossed that holds true but Union may send them into the weight room a bit earlier than normal 😂.

I believe Graham normally starts in January.
