Union will only win state if they play the backup QB. He's been begging to play. He's a natural leader. He gets the other kids to buy in. He's a salesman of sorts, and he can literally throw a football from one side of the Valley of Powell to the other. His name is Rico if I'm not mistaken. 

Friday Night under the new lights! Let’s go GMen! 🙏for safe travels for all the Union folks & an injury free game for both teams! 

This is my first time taking a shot at this. Would like to start doing 1D if I get the time. 

Grayson(3-0) 19.333

Lee should be able to beat the 16 on the field against them in this one.

Not being critical, and we already had the little league conversation, but how much credit does Turner and staff deserve for consistency? Some Union fans in the past have criticized play calling, and I remember a post in the last couple years about getting rid of him (that may have been in jest). In my opinion, other than Graham, Union has been the premier program in SWVA. While there has yet to be a state title, their lows haven’t been that low.

AFTER THE WHISTLE 
WILL BE BACK FOR IT'S 6TH SEASON BEGINNING NEXT WEEK WITH EPISODE 1
We did record an episode this week but due to technical difficulties or "testical difficulties" as Crigger called it, we were unable to salvage the entire episode. We will be uploading clips of our BDD, CUMBERLAND, HOGO, M7 AND SWD Pre-season Preview next week as we were able to salvage some of that footage. 
SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!
 

Pretty sure 2A schools get 2a points even if their opponent is 1A.

The last part of the statement is inaccurate. Crews are assigned two weeks out, and sure, you have your best crews on your highest profile games or games with biggest playoff implications. There is a thought process on who goes where each week(we have approximately 10-12 days of notice). I can recall at least 2 games I worked last season featuring an out of state opponent and no less than 60 years of (combined)experience was on each of those fields. Games featuring an out of state opponent do not automatically get the inexperienced crews. Where you really see the experienced guys is past round 2 of the playoffs. With the numbers the way they are, we are just happy to get the games covered every week, putting newer guys with veterans to gain them valuable experience in a big game environment is not uncommon. Contrary to popular belief, we are ALWAYS trying to improve and elevate the level of officiating in our part of the state for the student-athletes and member schools we serve. 

Tazewell fulfilled their contract with Bluefield. Each are free to pursue other games at the end of the contract. Just like any other contract. 

Each player gets a certain number of games. They can play those games at either level. 

I don't know Ryan someone sent me a clown emoji on Twitter and I've not slept since lol

Fire them all and disband your football program for 12 months. Signed the remaining schools in the Mountain 7. Wise Central, Lee High, John S. Battle, Abingdon, Ridgeview, Gate City!
 

Can confirm there is practice today with plenty of kids healthy enough to play. 

Most of you entered your last year knowing this wasn't going to be a championship season. In reality, you knew the victories and celebrations, would be few. But you still gave all you had. I truly respect your hard work, blood, sweat, tears, and dedication. Most of you were just nameless, faceless, numbers on a jersey. So to the handful of you I know, and the hundreds of others I had the pleasure of watching, thanks again for giving this old high school football junkie another enjoyable season. You will remember these days as some of the best of your life.  

A Odd front is a Odd front, doesn't matter if its a 5-3 or a 3-5, 5-2 or 3-4, its the same thing. The only difference is who the defense uses as adjusters the L/R or the Es. 
Edwards ran the exact same defensive look you're advocating for vs RV for a lot of the night, when RV was in their tighter sets(2 Wings and the WRs in close) the Union Defense looked almost exactly like the diagram you posted, when they were 4 wide it looked like a 3-3 because the Es (overhang stand-up LBs) flexed out with the slot WRs.
Alignments doesn't force the Offense to double team defenders, player ability does.
 
Yes, a 7 man box would have helped to stop O'Quinn from getting those key 3rd down runs on scrambles, but he was scrambling because Union dropped 5 into coverage and no one was open. Play RV 1 on 1 and see what happens, they've got the best WR corp in 2D imo, maybe in the 2D and 2C. I wouldn't single cover those guys.
 

If there is one thing I'm sure of......this is somehow Central's fault.

“What the **** does Kyle Petty have to do with any of this?!”

Thursday, this week!

They were 4-7 the year before he got there, and if you look back at the 11-1 team that was before reclassification. Now he is in district with Boyle County (2 Time defending state champions), Lexington Catholic, Bourbon County. Little tougher competition. 
Now, I am in no way saying he is the guru of coaches, but he is a good guy and kids love him, and he wins. 

I like Tulsa's alternate helmet from 2018.  

Glad you know some of the situations going on at ES. I left out the part of helping improves those coaches opportunities to grow. Coach Rhodes is a big part of the community and well like at ES from what I've been told. Sucks to see people push put misinformation on here. 
I've heard February 9th is the deadline as well. 

Now now, don’t throw facts around, it messes with peoples rumors who have no idea what goes on haha. 
Close to a few coaches from Eastside who left, they left because Rhodes did all he could to help them get hired in Wise and when he couldn’t he pushed to help them get on in other counties. What a monster to help improve his coaches opportunities, even if it hurt him lol. 
 
Another thing I read earlier, someone said something about “of those who have interviewed”. Did they have some secret interviews without including everyone else, because the website says it is open until Feb. 9?
Asking for a friend 

I dont have a horse in the race but he didn't take over championship programs, he took over programs that weren't very good.
In the 3 seasons before consolidation 
Appy went 6-5, 1-9, 5-5
PV went 5-6, 5-6, 5-6 
Turner has built Union into a perennial District and Regional contender
