Can anyone confirm if Graham scrimmaged today and if so how they looked?

Graham played Glenvar this morning.  I think final score was 28-7.  Reed had a 60 yard TD on their first play.  Taymon also had a 50 yard TD along with a pick 6.  Allen had a 10 yard TD.  This coming from Facebook post I saw.

I was on that 97 team.  Great game between two great teams, heartbreaking loss though.

He ran the 40 in 4.37 at Tech yesterday.  2nd fastest time behind Coleton Beck from Blacksburg who ran in 4.29!

Found out that Cooke ran a 4.40  40 yard dash at a developmental camp in Charlotte back in March.  Ran the fastest time of nearly 400 kids at camp.

 

Has 3 D -1 Offers currently.

Received another offer from Campbell University this week.  D1 FCS 

Good luck to Tazewell.  I've heard good things about the middle school program, just might take a few years to see the same at the high school.

Any info?  Where he's from....etc?

Setting up a sendoff for the boys. Their bus leaves the field house at 10:30am on Saturday. Asking fans to line the roads from the field house all the way to Walmart. Help spread the word.

I know it's not a long bus ride but I'm surprised they aren't staying in a hotel the night before. Good luck Blues, this G-Man will be rooting for you all.

Damn 19000 yds in one season? Believe that's how many blunts he smoked in college!

Like too many that have played football in SWVA....what could have been.

Sorry Gunz. I played against him, but didn't include because he wasn't a state champ.

Yeah I didn't think about that before I posted. My bad.

Suge Graves-Graham

I played with him. He just had a different gear. Ran for 2,100 yards in 13 games in 1998. Ran for 19,00 in 9 games in 1999.

Edit: Not a state champ

Part of the problem could be the uncertainty of JMU's football schedule. If they make a playoff run then that could conflict with the state games. Trying to fit 6 championship games, plus a NCAA playoff game all in a couple days would be a big problem. Also hotel availability would be a nightmare as well.

This link I believe shows why Howie got his first flag but it's still not that bad in my opinion.

I would say the entire backfield for the 95 Graham team haha.

Milton Byrd over 1,000 yards rushing

Brandon Banks over 1,000 yards rushing

Toney Easley (Fullback) over 900 yards rushing

Never attempted a pass the entire playoff run.

Salem looks like a really nice facility. And as a wheelchair user, it looks very wheelchair friendly and the accessible seats are about halfway up the stands on each 30 yard line instead of down low like most high school football stadiums.

 

Will be nice to watch a game without not being able to see because of the players on the sidelines, people standing in front of me, etc. At 4' tall, it is hard to see over anybody!!! lol

Salem stadium is top notch. The NCAA D3 national championship game is held there. I think the stadium holds around 7 or 8 thousand. Like Mitchell, equal seating on both sides. Mac and Bob's in Salem is a great place for lunch before the game.

Good luck Blues.

I know Howie was ejected but was it late hits or extra curricular activity that got him the flags?

Wow.

* - Richlands was on probation in 1993 but won the SWD title in terms of the standings. Not sure if the VHSL sanctions had any effect on this particular championship.[/quote

 

Grundy beat Graham in 1995 to win the SWD but Graham went on to win state.

Seeing some stuff on Facebook that leads me to believe that Coach Allen has stepped down. Does anyone know for sure?
