i think graham gets respect because they have been loaded but because richlands and other surrounding schools have gotten better kids are going to those schools.graham's numbers are down and so is their football program.yes,they are right in the middle of things but don't you think this team really isn't what you are use to seeing from a school of their caliber.marion has been bad and maybe our time is coming.things change.graham fans never really bothered me they were just always better than us.but can't marion fans show alil support when finally we get alil better?
i think graham's gb will be there weakness..he is very poor under pressure.i do think we have more speed than last yr when we beat them in the playoffs.but,yes it will be a close one i think.
as i said before..i'm done with talking about other schools.holston deserves a good run.i really think if they get the ph game under there belt they will do very nicely..to say they will win it all might be a stretch.
you know,why is it wytheville is bigger than marion and has a bigger ego problem.if you say anything about the ROCKY MAROONS your fans get bent out of shape.it's the same story.but once again this is a HOLSTON thread.if you wanna down marion start your own thread.but i'm seeing why we don't play gw..on that note i will not respond or say anymore on the gw,marion issuse.
marion really tried not to expose there whole offense to graham.i sat beside the scouts and it looked like they wrote everytime a marion player took a breathe.lol..we can score really fast but i''ll be alil more comfy if we can beat graham..so i'm not gonna shoot my mouth off like others.we pretty good..but we can always improve.by the way,do you know if holston has ever beat ph..it says they did on hogo.com but man..i really think that's wrong?trying to get the correct info
rebel,i see what your sayin..i gotta double check that cause i think they got it turned around wrong.cause that's when my cousin played.lol..god,if they beat them while he was a sr..i'll rag him.lol
rebel i'll check and see..if i'm wrong i'll be the first to say i'm a moron.lol..as for viva.this is a holston thread..if you wanna down other teams be my guest but i'm done talking about how gw is this or that..we can say whatever but the truth is at the end of the game.
lol,i have heard this for yrs..everybody is better than marion..i think when you win a state title something happens to your teams way of thinking the next few yrs..like everybody owes you something.i think gw isn't that great and i'd put marion up against floyd or radford.we play tazewell so we will see.giles is down but the single wing is still dangerous.
ok,here we go..marion has beat abingdon 6 out of the last 8 yrs..i have seen u guys be so good then get beat by teams you shouldn't.but still are always ranked in the top every pre-season.i'll be honest and i know this will sturr things up but..when is the last time abingdon had a team that would knock your head off?last yr henderson got layed out by tommy lyons and was never the same.so no..i'm not on your bandwagon,i was just making a point that the swd was open to more than just 2 teams..was being nice but gosh you guys seem to never be happy.
that's ok..i watched that game..by the way..is this 07 or 08..the past is long gone.i think if u play chilhowie,ph,and of coarse the rocky maroons and u win..i don't think you are a joke.when is gw gonna be double a..your bigger than marion..why don't you guys play us?just tired of hearing gw fans as well as others.then you drop 2 games.never understood that.brag,but get beat.whatever i guess..just a game but be classy about it.
king,i think another single a team up till maybe this year could have won just about any district they were in and that's giles.man,that was a great team but i think they might have final lost a step.honestly,i'm going out on a limb here.chilhowie isn't the only good single a team around here.those cavs from damascus might be the real deal this yr.if they beat ph it might be on.the rivalry of the year i think.i love my canes but on that night i'm a cav..that place will be nuts..i just got told by a friend that extra county cops are on duty just for that.
no,coach web was there then.i know richie thomas and he never coached there.i also phoned my uncle who played for holston in the early 80's and is a die hard cav fan.he said they never even beat them in scrimmages.come to think of it my cousin played for ph when crutchfield was there and i remember him scoring 1 or 2 tds against holston.like i said i got family everywhere in washington county..i just happen to be lucky and be in smyth county..lol
i'm from marion and went to school there but my family is from around damascus va.i grew up going to both school's games when i could.do you think if they beat ph this yr they may go pretty far?they have never beat ph as fas as i know.
i think tazwell fans got somethin to brag about.lol..you guys seem to be pretty good.i'm ready to see sum diff teams go to the playoffs..and i don't mean the first round.things might get interesting in the swd..
35-10..i listen to the last of the game..i thought blacksburg wasn't to good this yr?all i know is i'll be sitting in hurricane staduim this fri.i look for rain fri as well..better strap it on tight..this might be a slobber knocker!!!!
i remember sum of those teams..i dunno,it's like the kids around abingdon would rather be num 1 on paper and then just not show up for the game.after seeing a few of them play i honestly see a shoot out for the swd.it might get wild.i like it.lol..i think if marion plays marion ball..we can go far.just gotta stay focused..play as a team.
i caught the end of the game..i dropped my jaw when i heard the score..trying not to get excited here but richlands went down now graham..what the heck is going on.yes,it would be crazy to see tazwell and marion..don't forget abingdon..gosh,i'm just speechless.honestly,i see the tide changing.we have good players around interstate 81.
i gotta agree with cpf.i was raised in marion and got laughed at by many teams who were on top.one of those teams was richlands.i was in the press box with sum friends filming the game when a richlands fan came over and told the time keeper he had to many secs showin..they had us beat 42-3 in the forth quater..come on..show sum class.we have had our butt handed to us on a platter many times so when we have good seasons,i do show my pride and when we are losin i still watch most of the games even though it sucks.just gotta remember these kids play to have fun and win.it's not just about the ppl in the stands.i played football and i wasn't the greatest but it was fun while it lasted.this is the best time of their life.we forget that as adults.
no offense but that didn't make up for the last 2 yrs of holding and complaning about the same arm.yes,it was a very good pick but his dad needs to tape up his arm and tell him to suck it up.one thing i didn't see tonight and i was smiling.no attitudes coming on and off the field.they done what needed to be done as a team..we growin and it shows.that first drive in my opinoin might be one of the best drives i've saw not only on a marion team but from any school around here.nothing fancy just plain ole running.i smiled when the graham scouts were saying"did they run the off set I against us?where did this come from".it seems to be something we can do very well.almost like a wishbone.i was just impressed..the blocking was pretty good.once again we gotta strap on our hats and welcome in the g-men.i was gonna go watch another game but i found out it was graham and marion were playin this comin fri and it was in marion..i'd be crazy to miss this.on a quick note..congrats to holston.my family are from down that way and i usual go to a few of there games.they may be the real deal this yr.i'll keep an eye on the cavs.GO CANES
what i meant was we stopped bluefields fastest player pretty good.and i dont think marion has a RB as fast as patterson.dont think marion will run all over the G-Men.
well,i just watched a well coached game tonight.marion really showed an impressive running attack.fast,well blocked right down your throat plays.then finish with a nice little outside pitch.i know ph is struggling but we really have showed we can play sum good ball.i sat beside the graham scouts and they to were impressed with how crisp we looked.even said we might be a hard team to handle.we just gotta stick to playin marion ball..matt noe can also throw the ball..completed very nice passes tonight.i think if we mix up our plays we could get very dangerous and score a few tds quick.ph,please read this.PUT RONNIE AS A BACK.geez,you would think a ex nfl player and now coach would see he has a great player just in the wrong position.but my hats off this week to coach briscoe.very well done..nothing fancy just getting the job done nicely.
ok,tazwell and graham are good so i hear..but wait just a sec my friend..there is a team that might give both of you trouble..the canes keep improving and we do have speed.i'll be waiting to see if we can hold it together next week against the g-men.remember,in the playoffs last yr we kinda pulled it off against the g-men.tazwell scares me the most. richlands might be in for a long season but hey,they been good for a few yrs now.GO CANES
