I'm a train horn dude. One of the few things that can compete with the train horn is a "mine whistle." I think air horns are to soft. If your tradition is having a horn like Giles or Unions, then the only sportsmanship lacking would be for that horn not to be there during any game.  These things are what makes High School Football special.
 

Yes he did. Threw the pick 6 to #43.

Booker and Bradshaw or Turner. not sure which he goes by, both ran the ball well against us in the regular season. I like the way Graham utilizes all of their capable playmakers. It's what most of us have been screaming for Union to do. Throw Dales, Bauer and Ray in there, also obviously Lester and the Gmen have tons of weapons. But these Bears aren't going to lie down. Can't wait til Friday. 

Walloped. Lmao. You clearly weren’t there.  Central was the better team. But Richlands has the ball on the 15 in the 4th down 4 and throws a pick six. If they throw a TD, it could be a different story. It was a great game last night that neither team really deserved to lose. 

But sure. Inflate your little ego and say “walloped.” 

Exactly, it shows he knows little about Region C and the level of play Appo is playing and the level of play that Radford is not playing. Radford will lose to Gretna this coming weekend. You won't have to worry about Radford beating Appo. And if you do get fortunate enough to host Appo, it's going to be Pikeville KY all over again. 

And Mason Polier single handily won that football game tonight. He completely took over in the second half and late in the fourth quarter. He wasn't going to let Union lose tonight. 43 will hopefully be never worn again once he's done with it.

It has went on all season. Its a shame.

Exactly. Very frustrating to be a Bears fan sometimes. I can shake my cowbell and be frustrated at the same time I guess. Lol

If you have watched Union at all this season then you had to know this game was going to be close. Doesn't shock me at all. Union better play keep away next week and STOP WITH THE DUMB PENALTIES. But that's not going to happen

If this was another team, I would be less wary. But GC has a history of upsetting more talented teams from BSG and with both teams playing time consuming ball, one or two mistakes could lose the game..
 
In 2017, Union was clearly the best team in Region D (I would argue all of 2A) and barely got by a 4-6 Richlands team they handled earlier in the year. If Union isn't 100% ready to go, GC can absolutely win.

May be wrong but I'm taking Eastside to beat Holston. Eastside has Garrett Whited back and their quarterback has been playing well and can be a factor will his arms and legs.

Hopefully the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are cut down in the playoffs. This team would have beaten Paintsville if it wasnt for a couple of critical penalties and it's almost cost them in a few other games. 

Not sure the teams in SWVA are that greatly mismatched since realignment in 2013. Yes Appomattox won 3 straight but 3 teams west of Roanoke won also.

We blew a great chance in 2015 due to playoff injuries and a less than adequate defensive coordinator. 2017 was definitely a missed opportunity. If any 1 of three plays had gone our way in the Appo game, we would have been playing for a state championship game and I truly believe we would have won.
For the future, if our current roster of 7-11 graders stay the course, we will have a couple more shots at a championship. Time will tell.

Gate City has the talent. They do have a couple big uglies up front in Kert Gibson and Logan Davidson and two big backs in Calhoun and Tomlinson to go along with some other scat backs like Jenkins and Mack. Blanton is a tough runner and Reed is capable of making plays at quarterback. Gate City has normally played us tough with the exception of a few games 

Yes, one game a year in my opinion. I'd love to see us play Gate City there one year and then a non district opponent the next. Not play Gate City there every year but one year they travel to us have the game at Appy, then two years later back at Bullitt, then so on. I think that would be really fun. 

Starting tailbacks Lomax #3 and Guerrant #24. Both also play linebacker. Lomax is out for the season with a broken leg suffered against Paintsville and Guerrant is absolutely battered. Hes a senior so he is gutting out a shoulder injury that would have normally ended anybody else's season. He's tough as nails but he hasn't been much of a factor in the running game. Couple of our offensive linemen are dealing with some knicks and bruises but are playing through. Glad a lot of those guys got much needed rest last week against Battle.

What I was trying to say is that, when the offense has 2 or 3 formations... The defense can't key on certain things when they see it..
On the other hand them young players that got playing time is  looking impressive for UNION🙌🏈💪

It’s official now. 
Friday at 7pm. Thank God. I don’t have to get a divorce for missing my wife’s baby shower Saturday. 😂😂

Great coaching by the whole staff this season. I think we’re all just hoping they get a little more creative on offense. But you hit the nail on the head sir 

I agree with you both. However, when I think about it, the games aren't for the fans or the money they generate. 
They're really for the players. If it weren't for the kids that wanted to play, there wouldn't be a team. No team, no game.  No game, no fans. No fans, no money.
Does a 1-9 team "deserve" to be in the playoffs? No.
Does that senior that loves the game, and maybe is in a bad situation due to inept coaching or poor turnout deserve one more chance to put on that uniform and play the game we all love? Absolutely!!
If I was a HS senior, I would be ecstatic to play just one more time. Even if I knew I would get beat to death. Lol
Just a thought.

Teams are stacking 9 in the box and keying on Mason. I don’t blame them. He’s the only thing carrying the team right now. He’s been getting 30 plus carries a game. I hate to be an internet coach but they’re offense is so vanilla. No creativity to it at all.
