Even with 8 in coverage, 15 for the Blues was open several times. Other than the drive late, they barely even looked his way. 11 is an athlete but not the only athlete we got. Too many times he was locked on the same player. Just my opinion.

Good tight game all night. Terrible play calling for Richland's all night. Not sure what our coaches were thinking! Not taking anything away from Abingdon at all. Just frustrating to watch that kind of play calling all night!! I guess our coaches wanted to be a 5 or 6 seed. Good luck to Abingdon the rest of the way!!!

This discussion can clearly only go up from here

Looking forward to how the Power Points will end up!! There, I did my part to try to get back on topic lol :)

Landon Lowe for Richlands has also been a beast against the run up the middle.

No doubt!! Cousin can hit for sure. He is quite a ball player!! I feel like Graham should get the ball to him more. Especially get him in space out of the backfield with some short passes and let him make plays. He is capable of breaking one any time he gets the ball.

Yea, that's possible. I thought he was healed up from it though. It had happened in preseason. But, you know how ankle injuries are. They can hamper someone for quite a while before they are back to 100%

I agree, it was a very competitive game. I believe it is very likely we will see a rematch!! I am not sure why they didn't involve Scottie Ball in the offense more. I know Graham had #10 on him and it looked like they had Cousin playing safety on the same side. If their game plan was to slow down Ball, they did that but Howie had a great night. Good luck to the Gmen the rest of the way!! Except of course, in the potential rematch!! :) lol

Hopefully the gates open earlier but I haven't heard anything different at this point.

I concur with the above statement!! lol Howie and Scottie are quite a combination to deal with. Honestly, you can not double to either side. If you do that, it could be a long night. Other WR's have proven they are more than capable of making plays too.

Enough about the game, lol but back to the Bearded Moose. My personal favorite is the Mexican Philly Cheese Steak with Moose Track Fries Back to the game. I have been looking forward to this game since last years game. Should be quite the atmosphere. Safe travels to all the Union fans and all the Blue fans traveling in for the game.

Yea, I was pretty positive Ball or Chase would be playing. Would be absolutely pointless to play them in this game. If there is any question with their status next week, I wouldn't play them then either.

I look for both teams to play a lot of different players. Richlands will likely play their starters a quarter or two. I hope for no injuries for either team!! I just hope the weather doesn't limit the game to a half this year :)

Agreed!!

I was at the Scrimmage with GW. They looked like they are attached to the helmets somehow and can be removed. I think something like this is a great idea to help with the concussion issue!!

Produces and recruits!! :)

Yea, I remember a good fight between Richlands and Franklin County a few years back!!

Looks like it would be Monday August 1st.

Hate to see it but whatever the reason, I wish the young man nothing but the best!!
