Here is a piece of advice for you:
Don’t ever become a sports analyst. You are too inept at it. 
 
Also, don’t lecture anyone from Union about class, or the perceived lack thereof, seeing as you neither have wit nor class. 

Also a great effort out of Kennedy, when he walked off field at halftime I thought he was out.  Tough kid there.

You sir are a straight jack ass

I am a Union guy but i could see the the game going either way by 2 TD's. It is going to be a really good game.

Mr. Blue, most games in SWVA are lopsided, teams like Richlands, Union, Graham, Gate City( not this year) are and have been the superior teams in this area, for decades. Vast majority don't have the success that these teams have had. So, that is why I made the statement that I made. You and I know that within the 1st quarter which team has the better D and O, it is easy to see and remember these are high school boys, if they are down by 21 in the first quarter--that is it. Motivation is gone, I observed this with Graham just last Saturday. 

And yet I typed a response,   lol

Ryan4vt, don't get wrapped up in T52OS's words, He is a hype man--just loves to stir the pot---We all have to be something in life--that is his job. 

I had this feeling last night and this morning that if Union got up, that D would shut everything down and Graham would panic. Sounds like that’s what’s happened. Union has the best D on this end of the state, maybe the entire state. 
I’ll be in attendance next week at Bullitt. Please, Union, beat the unholy hell out of Appo. 

And UVA said Graham didn't hold back. ;)
It's OK, we got players with grandkids. Lol

I expected that response ? Although considering I was one of the fans he flipped off, hopefully he is still there. Those types of games are always the best. 

I think it's Union by 10-14 points.  Union 24, Marion 10 or 14ish.  Union is solid up front, and the FBSer in Mitchell accounts for 10 pts, be it a kick off return, long rushing touchdown, or pick six, or a QB hurry up causing a fumble and pick 6, as of right now, it's 10-0 Union with Mitchell and playing at BSG before the game even starts.   I don't think it's a blowout, but I think it's something resembling the Union vs Richlands first matchup in regular season in which Union doesn't blow them out by any means, but they control the game from start to finish and it's never in doubt.  The major concern with Union in my opinion....and I know, some of you Union fans don't want to hear it because I'm a Gate City guy, but........Travis is a bit conservative offensively.  His primary learning sources were legendary Turner style football at Appy and Beamer style offense at Tech.  Back in the day, those worked by the way and both were awesome.  But, I still think Turner needs to turn the dogs lose offensively.  Open up the offense, it's 2017 and you have better talent than most.  With that written, before some of you old P. Valley folks respond, I'm saying Turner is not just good, but among the top 3 coaches from Pearisburg, VA to the TN/Kentucky border in Virginia, but.......he has still an area where he can improve (like all coaches and people), and the area of concern with Union in my opinion is the downfield passing game.  I'm not talking about the pass that comes when Union is up 14-0 from running the ball and everyone is in the box and Mitchell throws the ball to a WR that is wide open when 9 guys are in the box stopping the run.  I'm talking about on 3rd and 7 when you have to throw and the defense knows it.  That downfield passing game or lack of it is concerning. It was enough to keep Richlands in the football game a couple of days ago.

Just about every team has weaknesses out there. That's what coaching at this time of year is about, finding them in the other team and showing them to your team to exploit them. Just because you didn't see adjustments for the Richlands game doesn't mean they need another coach in there somewhere. Graham has a great team of players and coaches and they'll do just fine. 

At this point any team can lose.

Another tough game, i do believe Union has the worst draw of any 1seed in 2A, every single game is going to be tough, no easy wins,  will be a good game.

Union would not be #1 if they did not prove themselves on the field.  My hat off to them for that, they deserve the position, and they won the honor of playing #8 which happens to be Richlands, which by no means is your average #8.  This makes for a great 1st round game and make no mistake about it, both teams will bring the wood in this game. It will be well worth the price of a ticket. Put on your coat and wool hat, bring the hot coffee, because the fur is getting ready to fly.

Appo appears to have a very good program but they don't have the same personel as last year. Things change from one year to the next. I think there are 5/6 teams that could beat them but by me saying that, they are top dog until proven other wise. 
 
 

Not worried about Graham at this point. The Blues are knocking on the door and in 4 days, Union will have put up or shut up.  Don't get me wrong, I am  a Union guy but if they think for one second the Tornados are coming to Bullet just lay on our soft Bermuda grass then we are wrong!!

14 points on starters, 15 on 2nd string or v/v, The Game was over at half. I will say the QB for Battle was very fast, right side of O line big and they ran to that side more. Battle did not have enough speed on defense to catch the long runs, D line on left side pretty good, they did not give up much in the middle, they could not contain much from tackle out. 

I agree but this is why they play the game. You mentioned 2 players, are the other 9 of same caliber?  All it takes is one bad snap, one missed tackle,   there is is always a chance in high school football.

An A+ game by Giles beats a B- game from Appo.  
 
Book it.  Appo should be favored but this isn’t 2016.

Mitchell is throwing TD's to Qualls now
Qualls is throwing TD's to Jenkins now
You never know if we're running out of the T or throwing out of the T now. 
back to the spread occasionally
Union showed ALOT last night. 
I think it was a test last night to see how it's going to work for the next week. We shall see
