Graham has already lost Hughes and Clements and Jennings are banged up. Lilly is their 4th option at RB. This could be a close ball game. Ridgeview only beat them by 2 scores.
You forget Jamel Floyd ran wild on them last year with a JV squad down there. Graham will be fine.
If this Bluefield team had a legit QB they could be so good. Put Fields back at receiver and have him and Hairston catching passes. Defense is pretty stout.
I agree totally. Not having a quarterback has crippled them offensively.
Union beat Graham at Mitchell in the spring of 2021, the first time Graham wore the yellow on yellow! Everyone knows uniforms had zero to do with it! Union came to play last night, our boys didn’t. As far as the uniforms, I’d never wear yellow on yellow again simply because they’re ugly!
After tonight, I’d say Tony Palmer himself will haul them to the dump! 😂 I started to turn around and go home when I walked in Mitchell tonight & saw the GMen wearing them. I really wanted to see the new lights so I stayed. 😂
We beat Union in 2021 in that yellow. The uniforms had zero do to with losing. Eventually we were going to lose and a good football team took it to us. In the long run, the only thing that means is the rematch will be in BSG.
I said it all week long. If Graham didn’t bring their A game Union would be leaving Mitchell with a win. Graham has to go back to the basics from here. Offensively they have to get other playmakers involved and not just Clements. About 95% of the time he was in the game he was getting the ball. You can’t win being one dimensional. Daniel Jennings needs to learn ball control guy holds the ball like a loaf of bread.
Does Graham stay with Roberts at QB? Not having a mobile QB like years past hurt Graham tonight IMO. Union dared Roberts to run they ball.
The loss of Sean Hughes has really hurt our run game breaking in a young line.
Literally every bad thing that happens to Graham is somebody else's fault. How about some accountability? Bears are winning this game on the LOS-plain and simple.
There is way to much respect and decency going on in this thread between Union and G-Men fans.
With the above written, will Graham cheat Union in this game? Will Union cheat and bring a train horn and fire it right at the snap of the ball when the G-Men are under center. Will Union do lots of late hits? Will Graham play dirty and do late hits? Who's eating at McDonalds after the game? What about that sorry Graham home crowd or those Union traveling "rednecks"?
Nothing but respect. Truthfully we're both scared to death this week.
If Appomattox loses a 3rd game l think it’ll knock them out of having 2 home games in the post season. Don’t see them outpointong Radford or Glenvar in 2C. I think one of them finishes 10-0 and the other 9-1.
Doesn't matter. They will beat either in the playoffs. In Salem. In Radford. In the parking lot. They're just better. And it'll be that way until they prove it.
Union came close to getting them the next regular season game at Mitchell. Lost by a point in the fall of 21. A fumble inside the 10 with 5ish minutes to go in the game really cost Union a chance that night.
#32 would be off of my team if I were the coach. Unacceptable.
He will be starting next time he's allowed to play and probably a captain. Mount View's problem is coaching and discipline. They should be competing for state titles every single year in single A with the athletes they have year in and year out. It's sad to see.
Maxpreps has both Bluefield and Graham playing at Mitchell Stadium oj Friday the 15th. Anybody know ifbeither of those teams are playing on Thursday or Saturday?
Agree that Radford is probably going to run away with it. However, as someone relatively new to the site and SWVA football as a whole, why does Crist get so much hate?
If Union and P. Valley are counted as the same, I believe they go back to 1991ish, don't quote me though.
I through 2021 out. Just take that off the table. P. Valley might have missed the postseason after 1991 through 2010 once, but I can't recall it happening. If PV/Union aren't counted as the same, then there's some research involved. Off the top of my head, G. Wythe may be the leader going back to 2005ish if PV/Union is considered different. Until a year ago, Richlands would go way back, long before 2005, maybe I yo th 1990s, but they missed out last year. Graham had a miss around 2007ish, and take away that one, and I think you have to go back to the 1980s as their last playoff miss.
