Looking at the other side of the state. King William and Thomas Jefferson look very good. Region D winner will have a tough road ahead, but I like our chances. Think we can play with any of them.
Stuart's Draft is equally as tough in Region B as the two teams you mentioned in Region A.
If Adkins goes to Ohio St, I will be watching the Buckeyes regularily, and I'm no Buckeye fan. I just wish Tech would stop beating around the bush and offer. I don't know if he like Tech, but I would like to see him there. This kid is a freaking stud. I think he can play anywhere.
That' s Jason Witten's brother isn't it. Grandsons of Dave Rider who played his high school football with Carlock.
Yep, Shawn played at VaTech. Dave Rider was a man among boys at Big Creek High. He started I think 3 years at WVU and played on both sides of the ball at WVU. Dave Rider is considered by many, the best to ever play at Big Creek High even though it produced Bob Gresham.. That's the same High School that produced the Homer Hickam who was one of the "Rocket Boys," and NFL former RB Bob Gresham.
Central is very well coached. Watching 5 minutes of film on them makes that very clear. They adapt quickly to an opponent. They adjust, see stuff, make changes. That's a direct reflection of a very well coached team, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
This Central team is the second best team Graham has played. If Graham comes into this game thinking, "it's just Wise and they aren't a threat," then Graham will lose this football game. I don't think the GMen will have that mindset. Tony will have them ready to play.
I think the GMen are focused and hungry. If Graham plays their game, then we will win, but this game isn't a running clock game. This game I think will be very close at halftime.
Go GMen and hopefully all players stay healthy and hoping for an injury free game for both schools.
The horns not going anywhere. Ive sat 4 rows down below it every game
This ain’t Kentucky, we’re allowed to make noise in Virginia. At least in Big Stone it’s encouraged. Apparently not in West Virginia
All fine. All great. Horn is great. Horn at the cadence? That's wrong, and it's in the hands of the VHSL now.
Dude I am starting to wonder if you are even from Graham. Even the Graham fans dislike you:)
I'm a diehard Gman and I told you, you pissed me off with the horn during the cadence and I came alive. I'm objective as can be and have had no confrontation ir arguments EVER since being in here, but you got it with your actions. I'm beginning to wonder what you boys at Union got going on calling one another douche bage. You were aware of this and didn't tell your buddy. Brother, this ain't duck duck goose and who likes who it or who is picking who. Popularity I couldn't care less about. Graham football, I do. Longtime booster and former player. I'm not going to stand for my kids getting rednecked by your stupid train at the cadence horn and I'm letting you know about it.
This is a 48-7 smashing even with a low class loser sounding a horn at our kids when we were snapping the ball and not one apology from you classless clowns. Not one.
I always do my best to avoid trolls, but defamation crosses the line.
I always do my best to avoid bitter and sore losers that have lost, don't know their season is over yet, thus; they are trolling, but the lying and gossip hiding about their fellow comrades crosses the line.
You know what else crossed the line? Graham High about 7 times on your own field crossed the goal line. Now, you get back in your hole and worry about basketball. The Graham vs Union game is over and you lost the game, and very soon, your horn is gone. Your going to have to deal with that. A message board debate ain't changing the outcome junior.
Like I just told you in the PM. Have it your way. Retract your lie or I will take appropriate action.
I just read your message and UnionHammers. I want to make sure both are clear.
I don't retract a dang thing because I didn't lie. I thought you wrote it. I will tell you this, my bad. I see where it was Union Hammer that sent me the message calling Big Winners a douchebag and you sent me an email saying that you knew about the email because he told you he did it. Sounds to me like.....both of you are sheeiiitting on your boy BigWinners. No, you didn't send the email, but you knew about it. This means your in discussion with the guy who sent it. That sounds like a lil bit** for both of ya.
You Union boys better get along. It's going to be a rough future with the way the SWD and Graham is playing. After the big win by Graham, and the horn likely to be taken away, and me having you 3 clowns arguing with one another, it's just been an all out bad couple of days for you.
Need to go back and reread your PM. I never sent you anything about @BigWinners. Just like I mentioned on the other board. You know what defamation and libel are right?
Whatever beef you boys have amongst yourselves is yours. Graham won 48-7, and also, a victory that likely gets that horn taken away.
You know what the definition of a running clock is, right?
Union formed in 2011. GC's last state championship was 2010. Since 2011, GC is 3-8 against Union.
Richlands has played in one state game since 2011, that was in 2016.
You are just full of anger that you lost aren't you?
Good for GC in 2010 and Union in 2011. Graham still 1 and maybe, maybe 2. Union 0. We play for titles and expect to win them (not saying we will.)
I'm interested in the email you sent me about BigLos.......I mean BigWinners. You had some horrible verbage at that dude. Bro, whatever beef you got with BigLos....I mean BigWinners, is between you and him.
Right now, these GMen are playing solid football and as long as Coach Palmer is around, the future is bright for Graham. The same for Tazewell with their HC and Richlands always has talent. It's a beautiful future for the SWD.
You boys better come to terms with something, It's Graham and Richlands time now. Along with GC shortly. Since Union combined, no titles. Since Union formed, Graham and GC have one each with Richlands playing for 2 I think. It's clear that since Union high began, it's really been Richlands, Graham, and GC devastating Union with the drop to 2A. One poster mentioned Union owns Graham and is our daddy within 24 hours after the second worst loss in school history (because Tony is nice). Fact is, it's Graham 1, Union 0 with a chance of making it 2-0. Graham comes off of the mountain to win titles not to get beat by a Region C or Region B team. We all know what Union and Ridgeview's problem is. The inability to contain speed and athlete's.

Ok might have went to far on that 1. I admit when I'm wrong wrong choice of words I apologize
I forgive ya buddy. Look, this diehard Graham fan said only two things of which one is correct and one ain't correct.
Union with the train horn during the snap. I'm right on that.
I wish Graham would have put up 80. I'm wrong on that and admitted in the very first post. It's not like I murdered a village of pregnant mothers and children outside a small village in South France.
Why I haven't done is call people names, curse, or take a shot at Unions players or fans. Just the two horn guys. If you recall, it was this Graham fan (was wrong again) that said the game will be decided by 7 or less either way. That's the respect I have for Unions program and I really thought it would be that close.. But again, a train horn. Awesome! I wish to gosh Graham had one. I loved the one last night, but...... As for a train horn at the snap count? That crosses the line and yes, it pissed me off, thus the 80 point comment.
Update. Stay tuned. Evidently this one fan wasn't the only one upset at the horn during the cadence. Monday, Graham will file an official complaint with the VHSL not on the horn, but on the horns use during the cadence and snap.
Stay tuned.....we can revisit this thread Monday afternoon after the official complaint is sent, then we can talk about "who cares" about the use of the horn. Blow the horn and have fun. Blow it repeatedly during the cadence, and you will get dealt with. Union crossed the line. They also got shi* kicked 48-7
You need to quit being a b!tch and change your tampon. Your team was clearly the better team. If anything, it’s made those boys better playing in a loud environment. You are just a pathetic person. Jeez. We congratulate you guys and wish you well down the road. Your just a punk that prolly got his lunch money taken as a kid.
You can just crawl back home and look in the mirror and tell yourself “I told those Union people!”
Man just stop, you’re reaching and big time. We won the game, win with some class and act like we’ve been there before. Perfect example of why people think poorly of Graham fans
A horn is fine. A horn at the snap count is low class. Call that reaching, call me a bitch, call me what you like. A horn is fine. At the snap, not fine. That's the difference in Unions past horn use (which is awesome) and last nights use which was during the snap.
Graham 48-7. Deep into this thread, not yet a mention of a Union poster saying it's low class.
Like I wrote, put up 80 on em. Heck, I just upped it to 90.
If you a have a beef with the AD and you breaking rules, you don't take it out on Graham kids by sounding a train horn during the cadence. You can label me what you like, be it bad, the Devil, Manson, Jesus, or Ronald MacDonald. What Union did was wrong. You show great intensity with me saying Graham should not have put up 80, yet not much with the low class BS Union pulled on the Graham kids last night. I can be as unpopular as you wish. That's fine. What Union did was WRONG and nearly a day later, not ONE, not one has came out and stated, the train horn was uncool at the snap.
Nope, I stand by the post Regardless of how popular it is or isn't. What Union did was WRONG and it shouldn't be allowed in High School Football. It's laughable that in the year 2019, a team can actually blow a train horn while the opponent is calling the cadence. It's wrong and shouldn't be tolerated or allowed simply because the score was a blowout.
You know, this morning after talking to some parents of the Graham players, they were happy as heck with the win, but very upset with the train horn with Graham standing at the line of scrimmage and well past being out of the huddle. That's about as low class as you can get.
Whoever the two or three FOOLS running the train horn were, I hope the decent people in Big Stone and Appy discipline or fire that guy. I have no problem with train horns. They are awesome. But sounding them when the opponent is at the line of scrimmage in the middle of the cadence? That's pathetic and even though it's the actions of a few, it reflects piss poorly on Union.
Incredible class by Tony who called the Dogs off in the late second after the acts of classlessness against his team and his kids. I would have put up 80. That type of beating would have forced the VHSL to take a look at the train horn DURING the CADENCE due to the amount of attention it would have recieved.
The Union AD and Coach Turner should issue an apology to Graham High School players, coaches, and fans. Will this happen? I doubt it, but it might. If it doesn't, Union will have dropped a notch in my book.
Horns are all good and blowing them tons of times is great. I wish Graham had one. But........blowing them during the cadence is absolutely sad, pathetic, and low class. This is why I titled Tony in the post. This dude is a damn class act! To show that kind of restraint speaks at his character and maturity level.
My COY for 2019. Tony "Bone" Palmer. A true class-act.
Union's only slim hope was a low scoring, tight game and that didn't happen. Graham dominated start to finish. Union couldn't get out of their own end and were down 21-0 quick. Union jus didn't have the horses to slow down the G-Men at all. Lester got whatever he wanted on the ground. This wasn't Graham airing it out everywhere, they ran all over Union. I think 21-0 and Union saw the light thru the tunnel, they knew they couldn't get enough stops even if they managed any offense which they couldn't. The game plan for Union, well, it's been a good season for the Bears.
Appo is a run first team, and they won 21-0 tonight. Is Ridgeview really three TDs worse than Glenvar? No, but you can believe that if you want. They beat good teams solidly but it's not like Graham out there. But you're on it tonight, I'm not starting this again.
Yes, Ridgeview is really 3 TDs worse than Glenvar.
