It’s a sad case of kicking a top notch program while they are down. Sounds like that are bragging about the law of averages kicking in too😂. Nothing but respect for the Richlands program from this fan. Good luck Saturday. I know there are few other teams glad they don’t have to play y’all Saturday.

Brilliant idea. I’d love to get to know some of you guys. I’ll be at the game at the Union fire pit per invite. May even camp out with those crazy guys if they do it again this year.

I’ve been waiting for this tread to take this turn. How no one can match Graham’s speed. No one can match up with them. Their top players are better than every other teams. I’m sorry guys. But didn’t y’all sing this song last year? Until y’all win something, stop claiming titles in early November. This may be the year y’all take down Union. May be the year y’all overcome the Bullitt hump. But I think Turner is still the better coach. I’m prolly gonna get the hammer dropped on me for speaking badly about graham. But up is up. Graham wins Saturday, then I will tip my cap. But I’m still not so sure the Region D is a lock for y’all. One game at a time. Union is still the Region D champs. They still own Graham’s butt until y’all take it back. Once again, good luck to both teams and safe travels.

Parking at Appy is very tight. But the view from the stands is great. I’d like to see the Bears get a game per year there. That way it has a home game feel for the program still. I think the soccer program uses it right? So it is maintained some. Just a random thought from an “outsider”.

Game location is the factor. Bears by a score. Gmen struggles at the Park continue. Bears are being overlooked I think due to losses to solid teams. Should be a good one. Look for Union to ground and pound to limit Graham’s TOP. Good luck to both teams and may they both come out injury free.

Not so sure I can agree sir. Your research is second to none. But we may want to table the convo until after next week. Ridgeview has a solid D1 prospect of their own. Very good chance y’all meet them if ya make it out of the Park. Last years Union game is the only time I’ve seen these two young men from Graham play. And they were non factors. And I say that, with respect, due to a vary solid Union defense that supposedly didn’t match up speed wise to that Graham team. Can Allen has next level talent and I look forward to seeing his progress.

Wow. That’s a fun game!

Have always looked at the Giles program with admiration. I’m sure they will bounce back strong next season.

Holy crap, what happened in Region 1A??? Upset city. And it wasn’t even close games. Wonder how the 2v7 game will shake out. Can honestly say I’ve never seen a bracket get that messed up in the first round. I’m sure it has. I’ve just never noticed it. Wow. Just wow. Nice work underdogs!

Prolly the coolest post I’ve read of yours jarhead.

Entitled? Union is a blue collar community. Your thinking central. The 92 state title game played by Appy at Bullitt was postponed until Sunday. It does happen. Mother Nature is being a tool this year for sure.

Was meaning it from the opponent point of view. We didn’t care how the field was lol.

Exactly! I was talking from an opponent POV. Appy kids didn’t give a care if it was muddy or dry.

You have reset the bar good sir! I’m a fan!

Age of entitlement. Everyone gets a trophy and can’t get dirty. Good thing Appalachia is closed or they would cry every week to move to Bullitt or uva Wise. May as well play flag football now days.

Come on man. Not cool. Gman, where you at. You dropped a suspension on a guy for making a harmless, silly joke about bluefield football. This is way beyond that. Regardless of what people “know” or think they know, this isn’t the place to pop off at the mouth about it. I don’t know the young man or his situation. And regardless if he walked on water or stole from children, he has a family that is having to deal with his passing right now. I don’t know the details and don’t care. Not my place. I’ll pray for the family.

Been hitting the medical weed hard huh??

TJ will have to coach now. Not that he can. Maybe he will focus on his team and not his family playing for him. That said, he’s still dirty. Will tell his players to do dirty things. I pray Isaiah recovers quickly. Injuries suck. Not sure TJ should be allowed to coach as interim principal anyway. Not sure how that works. Hope they players have a great season, as that’s the only reason they will be successful.

👍

Short answer (and not trying to be a prick about it) last two trips to Bullitt Park. Last year had all the speed in their favor. Was never even in the game. Little bit more of a game a couple years prior, 2014 or 15 best I remember.

Ridgeview wins the Region D2. Graham crumbles, doesn’t have the moxie. Can’t handle not playing at home it seems. Coach Mullins will handle business on Rose Ridge. I think Union can go a couple games deep. Never count them out though. May go to the region finals. If graham has to come to the park, I go with Union. Grayson Co seems to be struggling late. Richlands is always up for an upset Region D1, Chilhowie is at the top until proven otherwise. Burton isn’t close to knocking them off.

Thanks pal. You are correct. 5a was a typo on my part.

This isn’t a valid argument. Hopewell high school, the defending 3a state champs plays in the central district. Always has. Thomas Dale (6a) and Dinwiddie (5a) are in this district. Both have recent state titles in their classes. That’s a tough district. They have always been in it together along with other tough schools from 3-6a. The M7 and Central districts aren’t the only ones who have this. It’s no different than the old LPD under the old classification. Appy, pound, clintwood and norton class A div1. Pv, kelly and counting class A div 2. Gate city was class AA some. What were they in 97 when the triple title happened? We’re they LPD that year? Could have had three classifications in one district that year too. Yes, I’m from the other end of the state. But I’ve been around here long enough and enjoy the local programs history to learn about it. Abingdon really comes out on the short end having to play in the M7 due to not playing AAA schools. Helps the smaller schools. I am not a fan of Abingdon. But don’t mind playing them either. It’s football. It’s our 11 against their 11. Shut up and snap the ball!
