2022 Score Updates Week 2 Playoffs Regional Semifinals
GHS89 replied to Gridiron60's topic in SWVA Football
Watched that episode again. Hats off to #52 Radford for being the adult on the field. You represented yourself well. Such a contrast to watch all that knowing Coach Smith was on the other sideline. If he brings a team back to Mitchell, I’ll make the drive home to watch them. -
2022 Score Updates Week 2 Playoffs Regional Semifinals

What was the call against Appo that made it offsetting? -
Wow. Graham getting seriously hosed by the refs. Seems to me the quality of officiating at the high school level has dropped off in a big way everywhere.

Franklin County and Salem at 26 a piece. 7:49 left

Franklin County over Salem at the half. 13-7

Graham didn’t stop Bluefield’s running game by brute force. Graham had great LOS pursuit speed and disguised athleticism that is hard for high school teams to match. They could plain out shed blocks and fly through gaps. Bluefield had their chances to win through the air. If Tazewell capitalizes on the same opportunities, who knows. I honestly think the first thing they have to do is get over being Tazewell. A win against the G-Men right now could do just that.

Relax Graham fans, you have a QB.

Watched Glass handle 6A Franklin County in a benefit last year.

A beautiful unseasonably cool evening will unfold as Cave Spring travels south to do battle with the Franklin County Eagles. Franklin County returns an extremely capable QB and unquestionably the most exciting RB I’ve seen since Bradshaw. Jalen Lee was a stand out last year and I’ve never seen any player play every down like it was his last like this guy. It will be well worth anyone’s time to catch his action against quality teams this year on Rocky Mount’s Cable 12 Facebook broadcasts. The Eagles handle the Knights in this one but one will still come away scratching one’s head at the simplicity of schemes.

Talk is talk. But the posturing, punch to the face, and that strange prissy dance one particular player did after every play in the second half of the fourth is another. They won a game they deserved to win, just didn’t win respect here. Am I the only one that found watching Claiborne was a like a blast from the past when a certain #2 wore the G star?
-
King William earning this one but the next time they come through Appomattox they should pick up some class.
-
You wouldn’t want to play a team that made it out of NW Roanoke on a Friday night.
-
As someone that had to endure Graham/Appo I, I will add this. Graham needs to control the field position game and keep Appo on a long field. The running game is hard enough to stop but it’s even worse when you have to stop it 4 times instead of 3.
-
Saw Bassett in their first game. Win or lose, Abingdon will be very sore tomorrow from tackling that QB. He’s a man.
-
Who’s the better mudder? This one may be played in a monsoon.

As a hometown transplant now in central Virginia, I don’t get to stay as attached and informed with Graham football as much as I used to be. However I watched last night’s game and was very impressed. I too, found the QB play to be excellent. The playmakers around him are impressive as well. Lots of energy and effort from whoever touches the ball. That kind of effort will wear teams down. The defense,,,wow. As this team grows and cleans up they will be impressive.

West Virginia AAA #1 Martinsburg travels to Salem Virginia for the opener. This could be a dandy. Two teams that are gonna expect to win.
-
Looks to me like Tony has no interest in padding W-L numbers and intends to have tough troops come playoff time.

This game was won under the headset of the Appomattox head coach. I bet he would probably say this game worked out exactly like he planned and envisioned it. Yes Graham got a terrible call on the punt return. Yes Graham dropped a crucial pass. Yes Graham blew two coverages. The bottom line as I saw it was the fact that Appomattox could run for 3-4 yards whenever they wanted. The game was slowed way down. Heck, even the refs where slowing it down with the impeachment hearings on every call. I knew Graham was in trouble on the first drive. When the second half started I made the comment that Appomattox didn’t want another point, all they wanted was time and that was almost exactly what happened. I was disappointed, but I’m always a bit satisfied when the team that won deserved it. Graham had the talent to deserve it but didn’t get it done.

I never thought I’d ever watch a football game at a venue worse than Richlands...... but now I have.
-
I’m hearing different reports. I understand GARS is covering it, but I’m hearing they won’t be doing live play by play. Anybody have the facts on if it will be available online?
-
When was the last time a local team with that much D1 talent started the season 0-1?

Favorite area places to play/see a game, past and present.

Gonna be interesting when Mercer county doesn’t want it and Bluefield Virginia takes it on. Awful new turf to rip up and change to cardinal red and gold. I would be surprised if the Mercer county decision makers go this route. To their credit, they seem to be more academically, than athletically inclined. -
I started this thread long ago. It seems an appropriate bump tonight. So happy for this bunch.
