Not called the "Backyard Brawl" for nothing. Haha 

Another team I would add for the outside of 20 year window was the 1982 Powell Valley State Champion team. 6 shutouts and 4.2 ppg

Based on their schedule you'd think Va High wanted to 🙂

Will the Wolfpack passing game be too much for Union? Will Union play keep away and keep the score low?

@Gman Just incase someone needs to file a complaint  

If turner has made any good decision this year it is keeping #10 at QB. Tired of y’all bashing this kid when he is a top player in the district. Yes Sykes has had his moments but I would much rather have 10 running my offense. Y’all are forgetting the fact that the O line is gonna be the same and the Sykes kid will not escape pressure as well as 10 does. Y’all need to start thinking about the other factors of switching  QBs . Throw power, footwork, mobility is all 10 while the Sykes kid has slightly better accuracy but hardly at all. 10 has turned many what should be 10 yd sacks into 10-15yd gains this year.

Lets not forget about the guy who played at the end of the 90's up in Honaker. Heath (The Steeler) Miller! IMO he has been the best NFL carrier wise

Sykes showed he could throw the ball well in the Elizabethton scrimmage, and the GW benefit game.  I am taking nothing away from the current QB, the kid is an athlete and can make plays, but not from the QB position. Put him in the backfield or at WR and get him some touches, and let him make some plays. I agree he would make a difference on the defensive side of the ball as well, not scared of contact.  Cochran not on the field blows my mind, the kid put in a ton of work from last season to this season, and from what I heard had a excellent summer at the 7 on 7 games, and I thought for sure he would be out there on the defensive side of the ball.  Satterfield not touching the ball more than 4 to 5 times a game is just insane, Satterfield has blocked for every running back that he has played with and got his few carries here and there, and seems to always be getting tough yards, and running hard nosed, and BAM he no longer gets more than 4 to 5 carries a game.........
Not sure why Union took Zach Hall from center, he has been a starter at center his whole high school career if I am not mistaken, and Izaak Keith is stout at the MLB position, and had played on the line for a couple of years, and now he's not even playing offense. I understand that you want to keep as many kids from going both ways as much as possible,  but when the job is not getting done, it's time to suck it up, and put your best 11 out there, whether you have to have kids going both ways or not.  Sitting at 3-2, with Thomas Walker, Ridgeview, Abingdon, Central and John Battle left, you would think changes would be made, and the best 11 would be placed on the field, no matter whose mommy's or daddy's get their feelings hurt.
 

This is a hard one to pick.
Grundy lost some close ones....and beat the teams they should have beat solidly. 
Tazewell beat VHS and Battle. VHS looks great on paper with a 4 - 1 record but lets be honest the strength of schedule is pretty week with them playing FOUR!!! 1A schools and (1) quality win vs Central.
THS -- 28
GHS -- 27

Right....It's a little known fact 🙂 

I just watched this one today. Props to GC. Again, props to GC who is getting better and rapidly improving, but.......I ain't picking them to beat Union if they meet again come playoff time. Gate City scored 3 times on 3 weird long plays. I didn't see Gate City driving up and down the field effectively. I know...big plays ARE part of the game and they count, but this wasn't like a superior freak athlete exploded. The first one was a great catch in the corner of the endzone on a well covered receiver and it was more of a desperate type pass for GC and it somehow worked. Another was a misjudgement by the DB for Union who overplayed the route and when he missed the tackle, nobody was there. It was just weird. The other one was a great athletic play where the GC kid made people miss, but it was also poor tackling by Union.
Again, credit GC who got the W and those 3 big plays decided the game and they do count, but at least 2 of them were borderline bad luck for Union in my opinion. Again, credit GC, but I don't think they are within 10 points of Union if they meet in the playoffs. Only my opinion though. It was just weird how GC scored. I don't think they replicate that again if they play Union in the playoffs

I can kinda see why the Narrows folks are hesitant to consolidate😂

Union isn’t a very good team and big bad Graham could only muster 17 points. How does it make you feel GC put up more points than Graham did v Union?

Nope just waiting on you to lock this thread to crybaby.

I like this game now.
If Tech had converted their third downs and scored every possession, they would have won. Don't say they are not great, it was a few slip ups that cost them the game.  Oh yeah, and the refs. 
So if they wouldn't have had penalties, converted on 3rd downs, not turned the ball over, and scored more,  they would have won.
I think they are the better team with better players....except for that. 🤣🤣🤣

I second this but you better becareful you'll get banned. Especially if this board is ran like certain programs in big stone.

lolol then you clearly don't know shit about football. Union played a terrible game too. How many trips inside the 30 and zero points? Four. You're a homer so I don't take what you say to mean anything anyway, but what was the yardage difference? Only a clown would make that statement. 

I'm here, and this is exactly what I'm seeing.
Outside of a couple of years, Union has never had the best secondary, and Betsy is eating us alive on the pass.
Against the run, however, this front 7 has the potential to be the best since 2017.
OL and backfield are much better than I was expecting.

Ref moving the ball on 4th down reminds me of what happened to Union

Maybe a new reality show......call it Coach Swap. Swap Turner and Palmer and see how the seasons go next year 🙂 

Numbers pulled from Va Dept of Ed for fall enrollment. I added the 8th grade numbers for what 22/23 will look like for SW and M7.
