Hard nosed

Kiser is a top shelf kid. No doubt about it. I really hate it for him too.
I will say this about the penalties. The official on Graham's side is somewhat particular. I've known him for several years and I can tell you he is going to call everything and then some. If his day job was a state Trooper he would be the guy that would write his own grandmother a ticket for 2mph over. It's just the way he is. Good guy though.

Agree, lot of nit picky calls on Graham.  Central went a very long stretch with no penalties.  Graham will be ready next week, that you can count on.  Palmer and staff has done an excellent job preparing this team come playoff time.  Thanks for putting it in perspective.

Graham has a horrible day in horrible weather so they are undisciplined.  That undisciplined team is representing this region in the final four.  Where all the disciplined teams at?  Lot of cheap shots on the field today that weren’t called by Central.  Refs decide who’s disciplined and who’s undisciplined.  Let the coaching staff coach they seem to be doing just fine without your armchair qb advice.  I’m sure those coaches will correct the mistakes that were made.  Palmer and his staff didn’t get this far by being oblivious.  Hats off to the coaching staff and team.  Go Gmen!  

I agree. It's bad for us fans to fuss when we win 43-14. Very true. 

I hope Graham can score 50. Heck we won 43-14 today and I was ready to kick the dog when I got home. Just kidding. Don't call PETA on me. Lol. We have to get more focused and play more disciplined. 

Both of these boys will be greatly missed both on and off the field. I find myself watching them 99% of the time.

For "some" of us older G-MEN, the sound of that horn means only one thing. It's time to work!! Get you ass up and go!! Coach Carlock used to blow his air horn in the locker room when we had 2 minutes to get on the field for practice. You didn't want to be late for stretching lines or anything else for that matter.

Graham 48  Union 7

Anybody got any updates on Union score?
 
oh wait it’s 42-0 Gmen!!!  Where’s that train horn?

Looking at records, it looks like Mountain 7 is the better one. 
 
Graham wins the Region D crown, but it doesn’t make the Southwest the best. Not to take anything from them. 

I mean I agree, clearly the M7 was better this year, it's a brutal conference. But the best team in Region D may be a SWD team, and at this point that's what matters. Under the current system, it's 1-1 for the Region D title. 

I think that everybody would agree that the swd is down this year.  

Im a Graham fan and disagree. We aren't the same as Richland's and Union who has played them a couple of times in the past 4-5 years. Graham is athletic and a history of doing pretty dang good in state semi games against the Lynchburg area schools over the years..  If Graham gets that far and wins the region , I can assure you there is no fear for Appo. Graham would go to Appo expecting to win, not to keep it close or upset them, but to beat the shit out of them, and if Graham is on its game, they will run Appo right out of its own stadium.

Central over Richlands

Central over Richlands

i don’t think banged up = drugs
 

Tazewell, do you depend on Graham to do everything for you? 
Princeton hurt our kids, please big brother G-Man, get them back for us!
The big bad Blues beat us again but it's ok, big brother G-Man will get them for us!
Someone posted on the board and it made us mad! It's ok, we have a big brother G-Man here to protect us!
Will the G-Man be building the Holiday Inn on Main Street as well?

You are probably about to feel the heat from every mom and dad on the team that see their precious child as the next star at Ohio St. or Clemson. 
With that said........I agree. I honestly didn't see Graham as being as good or better than last year. I know many did. They do have the potential to make a very deep run in the playoffs if they get their act together. If the Blevins kid could just take a deep breath and settle down I think he has the potential to throw well and be a great asset to the team. At this point he comes across as a kid that's scared to death to "fail". 
The penalties are careless. At the beginning of last year they had several unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. This year holding, false start, and offside penalties are killing them. Curious to see how they close out the year. 

GMen are good and have yet to prove as good as last year. I know they've had some injuries, kids banged up, other starters out, I get that affects plays.  The only really solid teams they've played have beat them though. Still undisciplined, there was no home cooking in Princeton. It was called pretty much down the middle, others may want to argue that point. IMO, GMen thought they could roll this season and if they don't clean things up , they'll be lucky to squeak by Richlands. You cannot have over a dozen penalties against Richlands. They can probably still pull out the win in Lebanon with that many penalties. The season is half over, buckle down and put your heads on straight. GMen are very good and have had explosive plays and great games. Got some great playmakers, They have the ability to go deep in the playoffs.  I'd just like to see more disciplined play across the board. I think they win easily but let's limit the self inflicted wounds. Go GMen! 

And they probably wonder why Edwards transferred.

Well just as an FYI Kastner has been a starting guard for the past 3 years (sophomore- senior).  His back up is a freshman who is learning trying to get him some experience.  But if you talked to OL coach you already know that.

Mason Polier proved tonight why he is a D1 prospect.  Congrats Union well played.  Tough loss for the Gmen but someone had to lose.
