UNION#ATW

UNION didn't come to play tonight...I think they thought they was going to WAL-MART for a field trip...

No sour grapes here , Central out played us in every aspect of the game, congrats Warriors you earned it , and I think you earned a playoff spot

I'll definitely read it. Battle was stout on D last year and in '17, but I think this year will be different. One injury can kill a season at the 1A or 2A level, and they've had enough for multiple teams. Just don't get caught looking ahead to Abingdon or Pikeville!

7 years ago when I bought a house in Big Stone I begged my kids to transfer,but they were loyal to their teammates and band mates at Central and I respected that. I think if they had it to do over again they would have went to Union. No disrespect at all to the folks from Central. The majority are good folks,but just as the town of BSG has been a much better fit for me I think UHS would have been a better fit for them.

Grandpaw Trojan - I feel your pain, I'm from the Big Stone area and 20 years ago I left due to graduating college and finding work in North Carolina. So, I felt when my son was at the age of starting to play ball in high school, I wanted to take him back to where I was from because I knew of the long and deep traditions of football. I remember when I took him to some football games his 9th grade year  to let him see Union play, he was overwhelmed by the home town support and spirit. His exact words "I've never seen anything like this before". He didn't know who Thomas Jones was or PV or APP at all, he just seen all the things I was showing him at the games. So, his 10th grade year, I bought a place in Big Stone and he started playing ball there and from day 1, he has loved it from all the support from the school, football moms, and spirit that he sees. I'm just saying that I think this is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my son. If my son wins state, that would be GREAT! But just for the experience that he has had the opportunity to be a part of, is truly overwhelming. The reason Union is so successful in terms of school spirit, is because of a team and community effort that has a real love for the game! ITS TRULY A FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS EXPERIENCE!

Just my opinion..People in the areas of BS & APP believe in tradition..And what Travis Turner has brought to the new HS of UNION!!
I can honestly say that's way my son there.

True that. Ridgeview is good....dam@ good. They lost to a Union team that's also dang good. Looking forward to the playoffs to see how these top4 in D shake out. All four are very close. Any of the four could do it and I wouldn't be surprised. If Richlands or Ridgeview were to win the Region, it's just not a surprise to me.  Only my opinion though.

#44..Na that's the WATERBOY!!
That's not frustrated...That's just him he's little crazy🤣😁🤔

I'll be the biggest Pikeville fan on November 1st!!

Just saying he didn't show no disrespect towards other people also him and my son took pictures after the game..

In all do respect sir...
I didn't think that Adkins showed out towards the end of the game...If anything he might have been fired up... over getting ( game tackled by 3or4 players at a time, that happened alot)...just my 2 cents..

Bad juju to be talking of next season when this one isn't over.  Just saying 

That #44 had a HELL of a game💪💥👍🙏

Nope it will be Jones, just like at Graham, to block that stud L B and also to run the crossbuck, 3.5 yards per carry for 8 min drives

GO BEARS...
A LITTLE EXTRA MOTIVATION FROM THOMAS JONES HE GAVE A  PREGAME SPEECH TONIGHT💪🙌💥👍

I've not seen a team that reminds me of an old school LPD team until this one. They very much remind me of a Tom Turner squad. No flash just come right after you. A bust 'em in the mouth bunch and for those of us who like power football they are fun to watch (and going to be funner next year:))

Strongly agree. They ain’t out there playing patty-cake. Good luck to Union till we meet again. 

Bring a TRAIN HORN with you and hang out with us at Bullitt Park and watch UNION vs GATE CITY...😁
