You misunderstood my post. I feel more comfortable, as do most of my friends, with Richlands playing Graham rather than Union. That's not to say Richlands is going to beat Graham, but that I can point to certain advantages that Richlands may have if they meet again. I feel that along the line of scrimmage Richlands is a little better. I'm sure that Graham has improved there, but Richlands did have that advantage in the first game. Another aspect is team psychology. futbolking mentioned that the matchup with Richlands scares him to death. I understand what he feels. He mentioned coaching, and that will come into play, but there's also the reality that Graham hasn't defeated Richlands in 9 years, and there's a knowledge of that history within the minds of players from both teams. That plays to the advantage of Richlands. Conversely, three straight wins on the last play of the game provides a mental edge to the Union players versus the Blue Tornado. I'm not underestimating Graham, they're very good, and I would favor them versus Union. I'd just rather not play the Bears.
