I am also a friend with D. Palmer. He's a top quality coach, knows defense, a real student of the game,  and a good person. I'm with you when only one Tazewell County team remains, I cheer them on to victory. Hoping Graham gets by Radford and can represent Tazewell County in championship game. I would be thrilled for both Palmers, other coaches, and players to bring home that ring. 

83-10 in 2 games.  7 of those coming late on a running clock. I think the poster has an excellent point about Grahams defense
Good luck to Graham moving forward.  
Great effort by Richlands making the most with what they had.
Good luck with basketball to Richlands.  
Credit Graham and move on.  
 
 
 

Agreed ... "Credit Graham and move on." 
 

Hats off to Graham and as promised in my post, we all are now pulling for the Gmen.  I think Graham has a good chance to bring the hardware back to SWVA and I hope they stay injury free the rest of the way.  Cam Alley is my grandson's first cousin.  My grandson's live in Alaska and listen to all the games via internet and they love to rub papaw when the Blues loose, but I'm glad Cam is having a good season, and hope the Gmen go all the way.  One Blues Fan that doesn't care to say the Gmen are the most talented team in SWVA this year and I believe they will win State. Go Gmen!!!

I kinda feel this way about it.  I liken it to being brothers...........well,  maybe stepbrothers........in that I can say things about you and we can beat up on each other,  but we stand together when it comes to the rest of the state.  I know that some on both sides may feel different,  I will always pull for the Tazewell teams when we are out of it,  and if there are no Tazewell Co. teams left then I will be pulling for region D teams.  Besides that,  I played ball with D.Palmer in high school and I'm still good friends with him so I wish him the best !
  I will be a Graham fan this week and the next and hope they bring the championship back to Tazewell Co !

Tony Palmer no doubt. GMen manhanfled Mance & company both times. (Insert, lighthearted joke alert so no one gets "triggered" thus multiple 😂😂😂😂) Wonder if Mance regrets getting rid of his longtime defensive coordinator now? 😂😂😂😂

No. Wrong Palmer. Dennis Palmer was the Richlands DC for a LONG time and is now in his first year at Graham. 

The G Men return 8 players on the Defensive side of the ball and some key offensive players, next season.  I think they will be tough to handle again next season.  They have a few good looking young players on the sidelines who will fill in nicely.  Of Course, I'm hoping that Graham's season extends for two more weekends after this saturday.

To all my Union buddies, @Union_Fan @Union's hammer @UNION#ATW @BigWinners &rest y'all , the Graham/Richlands thread this week hasn't been nearly as fun as this one was with you all. I'm a bit disappointed! Could one of you talk Mance into making a hype video? You know to liven things up a bit. 

They were focused Saturday. Made some mistakes, but were still on a mission. I think they'll be fine against Richlands. May not be 45-0 again, but they have too many playmakers to lay an egg.

Is it homecoming again?

regional champ will determine that

Tony Palmer has built a program from one of the worst in the region just before he took over to one of the best.  

Graham does have talented players, which helps; however, beginning of season they were sloppy and undisciplined. Seconds half of season, defense has improved tremendously and that's a credit to coaching and good play calling on D. Give credit to Mance but I don't think you can discount Graham's coaching.  

Agree, Graham's defense has come into its own past few weeks. Kudos to coaches & players! Great decision by Tony to bring Richlands former DC on board and top marks to Rex for what's he's accomplished. I think they seem to have meshed well together and it shows. All around great coaching staff and kids. Graham definitely has to forget about first win over Richlands. Prepare like they've never prepared before and I'm sure Richlands will do the same. Bring it home GMen!!!! 

Congrats to both teams on the wins today! 

This^^^^^  I would love to see nothing more than for Richlands to upset them,  but being realistic,  Graham has a lot of speed and the D has been playing lights out for the past several games.  When you have an athlete at QB that is as good as Cam  on a high school team,  he can just about carry a team when the D is playing like they are.  
I think we have a punchers chance and we do have a fantastic coach and staff,  but Graham has been playing some great football this year..........but anything can happen !

Might as well come on down to the U

Adkins would look good with that lighting R on his helmet....

That would be a weird place to visit 

I'm one of the Blue Tornado biggest fans I've only missed a hand full of games since 2003.The blues will have to have a lot of things go there way to win this ballgame..the 1st time they met the blues just didn't look like themselves .I hope for a good clean and safe game..and which ever team wins ill be pulling for them rest of the way.

I hope Palmer & Company rob him of his 200th win. I don't mind picking against him, lol. Roll G-Men! 

That's makes sense with travel time for RIchlands. I know it's not a great distance but still a long ride.

We all know that Cam Allen of Graham is the best player in this coverage area. But after watching the game today I honestly believe Devin Lester is the 2nd best player in the coverage area.

& the Big Creek/War,WV community too. Even though he finished his career up at Richlands the people in southern McDowell County loved Devon and was overly proud of all he accomplished.
