I’d say the sheer number of athletes and money involved makes this one stand out. It definitely goes on here at a smaller scale. I’m not in the know of how active the recruiting is or simply self-selecting, but now it looks like the trend is to structure regional teams around a quarterback in addition to the former of simply playing for a coach. I hear rumors of pieces planning on moving around again. Now is the motive to combine talent to win a state championship or to play in college, or both? I think those I’m aware of are probably more of the former since part of the plans are structured holdbacks and petitioning to play in lower divisions. Part of this might come as a result of realistic expectations that most will not play in Division I, so cash in all your chips to make memories and accumulate wins during the short season of life. Time will tell how different some rosters look next season.

If I recall, Chandler had 100 plus rushing and QB scored on a broken play most or all in the first half. I think most of the negative plays were QB sacks and Union also shooting themselves in the foot with untimely penalties, which are drive killers for an offense like the Bears who are not as proficient through the air, leading to those sacks out of necessity.

Congratulations to your daughter and the rest of the Wolfpack faithful.

This is the beauty (or ugly) with both teams in this match up. Graham has a slightly more diverse offense, but are most effective lining up and running straight at you. Those closer games (Lebanon mainly) were simply trying too many things on offense. In reality, they could have literally run through their schedule (except for Union). I’m sure at times it isn’t exciting for everyone, but it sure works.

Reading the stats, I’m assuming Graham decided to go with what works, Lilly running from the QB position running with an extra blocker, instead of getting fancy against the Bearcats. This should be a great game because Union is the only team that matches Graham physically. However, I’m going with Graham because I believe they have found their identity. That said, while running backs and quarterback runs dominate the game, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Graham receiver makes the deciding plays or simply the kicker again.

Union 72 yard Bostic run. 21-14 3:46 remaining.

Ridgeview fumbles. Union ball on own 31.

I lost service and Union took over. Now Union punts. Ridgeview ball on Union 46 with 9:00 remaining.

The guys from WAXM are excited. Ridgeview 4thand 11 on Union 20.

Union-Ridgeview 14-14. Lost the time. 3rd quarter.

Is Grundy 100.7 still? Too many choices this evening.

Thanks, guys.

Were you there for that one? That must have been an experience.

Does anyone have the radio coverage links? I know Graham is 107.7, but not sure about the others. Is Ridgeview-Union 93.5? Thanks

I didn’t look, but I believe Breeding broke the carries record with 46 against Salem and it may have been broken again by that Manassas Park QB in that title game vs PV.
