I must have hit pretty close to the mark. Then look at you, trying to once again be a keyboard gangster, after everyone from Union on her congratulated your team and wished them well. Then you do that. Heck, I even spoke to Lester after the game and told him how much fun he was to watch and wished him luck down the road and at the next level. I’ll PayPal you some lunch money young man. Sounds like yours was taken again.

Graham came ready. Have heard nothing but good things about coach Palmer. Wish him luck down the road. The boys came ready. Obviously the horn didn’t bother them. Your false starts we’re by the player farthest from it. But I could see you being that kind of coach. Then get run out of town when your star qb or other player get injured and out (God forbid that happen). 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 and now have the bravery of the internet to be a big man. Once again, congrats graham and Palmer. You can just crawl back home and look in the mirror and tell yourself “I told those Union people!” Next time have some testicular fortitude and come say something yourself.

I go them from the gofan app. Had Union listed. At least they got the price right this week. Charged $10 last week stating that was the price across the board lol.

That was 89. Appy beat TS on a kick the week prior. Billy Owens was the best kicker Appy ever had it could be argued. The Appy/burton game in 1990 was the brawl in the qtr. button lost state title game to king and Queen 21-20 on a missed two point conversion attempt. You’re correct about our kicking game haha.

It’s the timing of it that runs most of us raw. Nothing was said when we were down 10-0. Once we went up 13-10 here comes the police on the ADs command. That was told to me by the officers themselves. I talked with them at halftime about it. They chose not to remove the fan, just have the air horn removed. It was a chump move.

WOW. Just wow. Thanks @Union_Fan

2-0? I'd like to hear the story of that game. Defensive battle.

Loud and proud. Home team AD has the final say. This come from the someone at the VH$L, not hearsay.

We will just have our AD send the police and have them kicked out lol.

Not sure of the season for Calhoun, but he had 14 yards on six carries Friday night.

We had 110 yards in penalties. GC has just over 50. Wanna y’all about penalties anymore? Everyone feels their team gets hammered by the refs.

I won’t disagree with most of this. Well layed out info here. I was just adding to the “my daddy can beat up your daddy” discussion lol.

Correct. It’s a football thread. This whole argument is kinda moot. But going back to 1970 and looking at Richlands, Marion, graham, Tazwell, lebanon and Haysi (couldn’t remember if they were in the SWD). The SWD has 6 state titles. The M7 is a renamed LPD. Appalachia high school has 6 titles alone. Throw in PV’s 8, clintwood’s 4 and JJ Kelly and norton each with 1, that brings it to 20. These are rough state I quickly got from the four seasons page. Yes norton is the only one open still. But the history of the M7/LPD owns this little argument. It’s all for kicks and giggles. Safe travels graham. We will see y’all Friday night.

So how is it fair that a college stadium is in the mix for best high school stadium. Were there others like that. Hardly seems fair to public school owned complexes to go against a college one.

Not having key injuries would be a start. Lol. CJ played a tough gritty game last night!

I wouldn’t say we peaked early. We played lights out early. Then a couple players (both RBs/LBs) were dinged up. Then their injuries got worse to the point that some is out for the season and the other is there physically but not able to be himself. Now teams can focus on Polier. He’s still pounding the rock. But we went from a triple threat to a bull in a china shop. We are singing the same song graham had to sing early in the season. Our just happened at the wrong time. Injuries suck. But it’s part of the game. On that note, what happens to Ridgeview qb Phillips? Heard the hill kid playing qb last night. He hurt too. Hope not.

Regardless of what town/school you support, wins puts butts in the seats. A team gets hot, and people come out of the woodworks. Alumni show up and so do people from towns whos team is down/not very good. Union is not exempt from this. Appy experienced this as well, as I'm sure all of our teams has. But you've got to admit, when The Park is packed, its a fun and rowdy atmosphere!

What would it look like if RV lost to Pikeville and Abingdon?

That’s crazy haha. Small world indeed. I would have played with his son in 92. But the odds of running into him at the beach like that is insane! Thanks for sharing. I’m a nerd when it comes to these small towns. Love hearing stories like this.

Gotcha. Gotta love those old camps. Sad to see them fall into disparity.

This is ridiculous. What a bunch of chumps. I can see trying not to run the score up. But to y’all a kid to not try is counter productive.

Gotta give you credit pal. You know your Appy and surrounding coal camp geography. Impressive. Mentioned Andover and Exeter. Wow.

I hope the scoreboard has new bulbs, because the guest side is about to get a work out. RV plays JV in fourth qtr maybe.

I want to think the 1989 Hopewell Blue Devils were the Central district co-champs and didn't make the playoffs. I went back to the four seasons website and they only played 10 games that year. They upset Thomas Dale in Hopewell that year to give them a share of the title. I'll try and find more info to verify this, but I'm about 90% certain that how it happened. What a scenario!

This is a result of 30 years of resisting and complaining about consolidation.
