Trenton Adkins?  

Yeah, that helps too, lol. 

He’s been Graham’s MVP this season.  Take him away, I’m not sure Graham’s even a playoff team.  He takes so much focus away from Bradshaw and allows him to excel as he does.

I agree 100 percent @Gridiron60 that’s why I went back and said central is +fast. Going to be tough for the dogs. I believe in them. 

He is really good. @jonah58I said I think Central could be a dangerous team. Graham and Union isn’t a done deal either. I am not saying tazewell will win. I was saying as a fan it would be cool to see a rematch graham and tazewell. All respect to Central. They got highlight players. 

I will be surprised if this is closer than 2 tds in favor of Graham. 

This will probably ruffle alot of feathers but the only kid with anything close to D1 talent in Region D is Meadows from Graham. That's just my opinion. 

Meadows is definitely D1 material, probably most legit D1 prospect in Region D. He’s a hard worker and it shows. Lots of kids get D1 offers but don’t have the work ethic to play at that level. Talent can get you by in high school sometimes without much effort but talent alone won’t carry a kid on the next level. Meadows has talent and works hard. 

I agree 100%.

Bradshaw had an offer from Notre Dame, so I would say they know a thing or 2 about D1 talent.

This will probably ruffle alot of feathers but the only kid with anything close to D1 talent in Region D is Meadows from Graham. That's just my opinion. 

Thats a good question. I don't know enough about the Abingdon kid to say one way or the other. Like @Real Sasquatch said Fritz has really good balance. He's a 4x State Champion in wrestling and he has 2018 football ring as well. Football is the ultimate TEAM sport and I dont like bragging too much on particular kids but he's a workhorse. 
*****No I'm not his dad lol

We are obviously on different pages terminology-wise, but that happens. No worries here. It all comes down to blocking and tackling in the end anyway.

I don't see Union scoring a point.  Graham should win this one easily maybe around 34-0.

Their main play is the super power toss, that is the "bunched up" looking play. Everything else they do is prefaced off of that. They run criss cross (counter, double handoff), trap off of buck action, buck sweep, waggle pass and belly.
Veer is actually the path the dive back takes in a triple option oriented offense, but generally the play is called "veer". That play is set up by identifying one or two players that won't be blocked, but rather "optioned" on the play, requiring a decision by the qb. Generally Veer option teams (this year John Battle ran quite a bit of Veer and midline from split backs) use wider splits to give the back a better path to "veer" on, and to give the qb longer to "ride and decide". 
With that being said, Riverheads is almost foot to foot on their line splits, and probably running belly that may look like Veer to some. Difference is, no one is going unblocked,  and the QB reverses out rather than opens up playside.  

What makes all these predictions so difficult this year is that we have no point of reference with most teams only playing within district.  You can't always count on common opponents giving a clear picture,  but it sure helps in gaging competition levels. Strange season.

The power toss was what I thought was their bread and butter. They would simply outnumber the defense on the short side and just rack up yards. I'm not sure I saw them have any negative yardage plays off the sweep.
When I think of the veer, it's usually in the context of the option. Dive, QB keeper off tackle or pitch HB outside, whatever the unblocked guy dictates. I have never known Riverheads to use many option concepts at all but again I have only seen a handful of games thru the years. Battle is the team im most familiar with around here running lots of veer stuff, that pistol veer set can really cause teams trouble if you are unfamiliar with it. A smart, athletic QB running those veer concepts can be a nightmare for opposing teams. Riverheads QB, from what I've seen, isn't making that kind of decision, it's all called plays. To me, they are a wing team thru and thru. 
Central also runs a lot of those concept but I think you guys are way more willing to trust the QB and let him make those decisions. You guys are also excellent at exploiting matchup and tendency with the pass, so often Wise has guys running wide open downfield bc they execute so damn well.
enjoy this Jonah, prob the most I'll ever be willing to praise Central lolol

Super Power, Criss Cross, Trap, Power and a handful of other plays are the basis of their offense. They don't run any option that I've ever seen, been following them since they beat Eastern Montgomery for state some years back.  Love their style of play. 
Veer - give to a dive back, keep by the QB, or lateral to a pitch back. Battle has ran Veer for several years now, split backs Veer this season and Pistol flex one Veer previous seasons. Veer is more like a basketball 2 on 3 fast break,  undefeated man gets the ball, some teams break it down to Dive and then Keep/Pitch or Dive/Keep with no pitch option (Haysi actually ran those a lot). Usually paired with a FB Dive, a Lead play, and some sort of Counter.
Riverheads wants to beat defenses with brute force(more blockers at the point of attack that defenders) and the occasional slight of hand play. Central wants to out flank defenses and uses more slight of hand and passing. 
Riverheads and Central are similar, but in the same way Tazewell, Graham, and Richlands are similar.

Not trying to argue, but maybe it's a terminology difference,  but I went back and watched week 1, and didn't see one veer play ran by Riverheads..... 

Same, I watched entire game and didn't see a veer play. They rarely if ever run the QB, most damage done by the HBs. They ran that bunch sweep most of the time, QB would turn, toss to Smiley and then block. Mostly Wing T stuff IIRC but maybe we are all talking about same thing just different words.

Not seen any veer concepts from Riverheads before...

Correct.  Run of the mill PF do not lead to ejections and suspensions.  Or 1 UC for fighting also gets the boot.
