There will be year one growing g pains implementing Tester’s offense.  I’m assuming he will running a wing-y or something similar.  Once they get it down pat they will move the ball methodically but may not be explosive.  I think the problem may be defensively and dealing with the pass which has been the thorn in the side for Grundy historically. I’m betting 6.5 wins.

Because he is a Prima Donna prick.

Whoever decides to start a VHSL baseball playoff game at 11:30 at night should be fired. There was simply no reason to start this game. The teams are 25 minutes apart. Reconvene are start this morning at 10/11 am. 
Richlands should file an appeal and someone should justify their decision to have kids playing baseball at 2 am. Stupidity….all the way around.

Owens had them competitive.  But, he also secured a lot of wins with that very talented class of ‘22.

Just waiting for it to turn back into another Union thread. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is it so quiet on this topic, is it because everyone is tired of the good ol boy system, maybe the leaders need a reality check cause there way is not working!!

Can you imagine what they say about the drive to Rose Ridge? Last time they visited it was a great game..21-19 Bluefield. Ridgeview turned it over inside Bluefield’s 5 yard line on an ill conceived jump pass. 

This has been a pet peeve of mine for the past 6-8 years.  No one posts the full district or region teams anymore.  The schools get the teams and extract their players and posts a fancy image/post on Facebook.  Why there isn't an official M7/SWD and Region 2A site, I'm not sure.  It would be great for historical purposes as well. 
If you really want to be frustrated, try finding the all M7/SWD and Region team in baseball in summer...when the kids are getting out of school.  Damn near impossible.

The answer is because many leaders are lazy in communication. Whenever there is lazy communication, it's often a result of lack of respect or caring or empathy for others. "If I don't care about you or respect you much, I'm not going to listen or communicate much." Sometimes, poor communication is due to being short staffed, super busy, and stressed out, but in many cases, it's not about being short staffed or stressed out, it's about being lazy and disrespectful. That's often the case with any local, state or federal governing authority or regulating agency.

I’ve known boards to limit the amount of time an individual can speak for public comment portion of meeting but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it eliminated completely. Definitely a bad look for the board & just adds to speculation they’re covering up information or at the least not addressing concerns parents may have considering this isn’t the only incident within the district. I don’t know the best way to handle the situation but eliminating that from the meeting I agree, unforced error on their part. Bad look. 

Do you intend for me to believe the Central fanbase is difficult?  I'll not have it, Sir! 

I'm sorry guys, but I'm not buying that someone didn't have some suspicions about the activities.  No one picked up on anything?  A look, smile, odd behavior, suddenly gone/not-available?  No one picked up on body language?  This type of behavior, unfortunately, is more common than a lot of people think.  You had inappropriate conduct at RV and Honaker with a former HC just a few seasons back.  I know it was going on at my high school and a rival high school when I played ball.  I'm willing to bet that several of the posters on here have similar stories.  
That being said.  I think it is a no-brainer that Edwards takes the job.  I do wonder if Bostic wants to coach once his kid leaves.

Another interesting thing could be what if Bostic stops coaching after Kam graduates?

Damn...that's a serious statement and, if true, they will be a load.  That being said, I did notice a couple of things about Union's OL that I hadn't noticed before.  I saw the big OT get slung to the ground several times by a kid that was about 210lbs...including on the last play of the game.  I watched the plays several times....the big Union kid had really poor balance and couldn't move his feet.  This reinforces my believe that a 225lb DT/DE with good technique and a nasty attitude can handle/whip most 275lb+ high school OL. 
If I'm a high school coach, I'm building from the interior DL out. Priority #1: DL...then OL....then QB....then DB....then the rest.

Well, in an effort to be fair, perhaps the most overlooked stat is Glenvar 13-130.  Anyone who knows football understands what the heck that does to a game. 
Another telling stat: Union rushing- 53/187 (that is only 3.5 ypc).  That is a hell of an effort by the Glenvar defense.  It is also about the ypc that Glenvar averaged.
Glenvar completed 61% of their passes and Union 37% with Union getting bigger chunk yardage and Glenvar being more efficient.  I'm curious as to sack yardage.  I'm assuming it comes off of the rushing yardage totals.  That would explain the 153 total yards by Glenvar.....I'm having a hard time believing that is all they had. 
If you want to do an interesting deeper dive you could look at what effect the penalties had.  Did they wipe out significant chunk plays?  Did they stop drives, etc. Not to be a dick, but you can't just look at stats on a surface level and not dig in to see the real story. A lot of this game was told by those penalty numbers.  I mean Glenvar "averaged" 10 yards a penalty over 13 penalties.

I know Ridgeview plays in SWVA league that travels to many communities. Union is closer than most. That said, Union has no reason to be so generous, but hypothetically, if Union invites RV into the league would it ruin the feeder program?
Just thinking because I believe generosity of including teams from outside communities had an unintended impact on Richlands feeder system leading to an arms race to compete. This may not be the case, but my thoughts led me there when you mentioned the feeder program at Union.

The Union coaches, Jay and Kory, deserve so much credit for stepping in and being able to keep them focused.  Our fans in the stands can be idiots at times but anyone being too hard on those guys needs perspective. They didn’t sign up for this, they were thrust into it and lost a state semi by a point. 

Have you watched Union’s #2, #11 and #12 this year? Showboating is showboating. Not a big fan of it….but people tend to overlook it when it’s their boys.

Poquoson has one of the best lineman in America. Is an Alabama lean. Only a junior.

End of the day, you can't let a good team hang around and you have to convert in the red zone.  Union's strongest attribute up front met a team with just enough to cause problems.  If Union converts one of those red zone  attempts, maybe a different outcome. Great game, good luck next week.
