Took our foot off the gas too soon. Trying to test the playbook second qtr. let gc get some fire in their bellies. 

Official ruling on the onside. White hat says we didn’t have 4 on one side of the ball. We did. And have proof that will be submitted to the WVSSAC. 

Haha. That’s good stuff. Gotta have a little fun in here. 

missed  a lot in the 1st half... needs his yards & TDs

Why is he still in? Game is over.....

These should really be stickied. Haven’t seen this week’s results...

When they play Richlands we do 😂😂😂

Wrong state pal. This is Virginia haha. We don’t recognize bluefield Wv accomplishments. 

Here's an honest question.  Love or hate the horns or how they are blown.  Someone commented that we should let the kids decide the outcome.  How many times has anyone been to a basketball game with a pep band in the gym (think JJ Kellys cracker jack box size gym).  And said band plays deliberately during the opposing teams free throw attempts.  Or the cheerleaders standing in front of the shooter shaking their pom poms, all the while the rest of the bleachers are being stomped on by the fans.  
The way I look at it is, its a high school sporting event.  Noise is inherent.  Our engineer of the train horn has backed off to blowing the horn as asked.  He started doing so during the second half of our Richlands game.  Yes, there were some false starts.  Did the horn cause it?  Debatable.  But doesn't most high school teams use shotgun formation and the snap is a clap?  The center is watching this motion right?  
So embrace the noise at The Park.  It's not going to be like watching in some stadiums, like watching a funeral.  It is what it is.  The horns gonna blow, within the parameters given.  The cowbells are gonna ring non-stop and the crowd will be electric.  Good luck to GC.  They are on the up and up, so I'm sure they will bring the noise.  Let's play ball.  At the end of the day, the kids will decide the outcome...or the occasional rouge ref that feels the need to be relevant haha.
 
Not stirring the pot, just adding my two cents worth.

With VH$L, it’s always about the almighty dollar. Biggest money racket going in the Old Dominion! 

I’m not opposed to going back the way it was, the top four in each region make it. But the VH$L is too worried about money.

Quite possibly, but again, I think we're over thinking it. If two teams have comparable records and one has a head-to-head victory over the other, I think that we can all agree that the team with the head-to-head win should receive the nod, but under our current system, that isn't necessarily the case. Again, I don't know of a way to improve upon the system that we have, just pointing out what may be a necessary evil that is involved in our point system.

It will probably be a lot like a running clock as both teams are going to run it a lot I believe.  Should be a good game that harkens back the late 80s early 90s style of play.

Style of play is what it is,  if they make a couple of plays on deep hail Mary's last game,  they go up big,  on a good team. 

Poor fellar had a off night huh

That's funny....not the 15 yards but the comment. Piggybacking off that...people take things way too serious and get way too offended these days with things that should just be ignored or let roll off one's back. 

No room for whistles in football stands. Every town has their way of cheering for their team, be it with train horns and cowbells or just setting and golf clapping. Graham’s band played hard and loud in spite of low numbers. They played all the time during our offense being at the line. And during the winning FG. But that’s football. If you want to play in quiet, play chess. Gesh, this is high school football. We have sons, cousins and nephews playing. Cheer for them how you cheer. I was shocked at this. And like I mentioned, the timing of it was eye raising. But let this not take away from the hospitality our boys were shown. Fed them some good papa johns after the game. Nice jester guys. Much respect for that move. I’m guess the ad wasn’t involved with that move😂🤣

GATORADE BATH FOR COACH MANCE ON HIS 200TH WIN
Richlands  31
Abingdon 21
FINAL
 

Graham marches right down the field. Ball on Union's 12 yard line after a timeout. 
Great game with a lot of big plays from both sides of the ball.

Fact is, those Graham fans that think this team is better than last year's team are fooling themselves.  You can't lose Cam Allen and be better...period...

Really shows the conditioning because they chased Lester around for what seemed like miles. And he was cool as a cucumber the whole time. 
Just an incredible game and tremendous effort by both teams. 

I agree BigWinners, definitely proved me wrong!!! Shows what kind of heart and tradition comes from Appalachia and Big Stone Gap!! Congrats to the Coach Turner and the Bears!!!

Regardless who your team is the memes are always hilarious
