There are so many things this is evident with them on.  I don't think the school board has any fans from any of the three schools from what I know.  The superintendent does what he wants regardless of what anyone suggests to him but yet he has no spine to stand and make a firm decision either way.  Still trying to figure out how that works 

Galax has taken down both teams in 1C that are suppose to be playing in 2C. I love to see it!

Thank you for your concern, #6 Brock is my son . He took a helmet just below the knee to the perineal  nerve on the side of his right leg . His leg went numb from the knee down and he didn’t have any feeling . Hopefully it’s just like a stinger . Still can not put any weight on it . 
 I would like to say thank you to the Union team and especially their coaches , they all came over and wished Brock well . Coach Turner spoke to Brock also . 
 We left it all on the field when the majority of people said we had no chance . 
 These “Dawgs” played their hearts out , good luck next week to both teams . 

Looks like will be the final. Proud of the dogs and the effort they gave. Final score not an indication of how hard an effort they gave

Don't take lessons from WVVA though.  Nobody tops them in ignoring teams in their back door on this side of the state line.

Despite criticism, under Harris, Tazewell has really developed a culture of hard working kids. I don’t know them personally, but they seem like good kids and community support has grown steadily. Regardless of the outcome on Saturday, they deserve applause.

He did play most of the Princeton game but I can't tell you what the stats were.  They came out flat in that game and they played like it.  I'm not making any excuse but nobody wanted that game, not sure why they scheduled it.  Princeton had some strong coverage.  Would love to see them Vs Graham (I'd be a huge G-fan in that one).  Creasy landed on his shoulder in the RH game which was injured last year.  The Graham game he had a different injury that I was told but not want to disclose it here.  I'll just say that I'd imagine he was in pain before he even took that hit.

I'll admit that is me.  It all comes down to being good winners.  I saw some very bad winners from the G fans on this board (not all) after the win.  So if Union fans show bad sportsmanship, I can swing right back over to Graham for the win.  Said it a million times and nothing is going to change, but it is hard to pull for a rival.  
So far the overall Union fan chatter has been respectful and kind of like Tazewell fans.  We aren't real sure what to expect so we will wait and see what happens and just look forward to a good game.
 
On another note, I can assure from what I heard yesterday that they are fired up and ready for this.  Now the results may not come that they want, but they have the right attitude to start with!

This area still hasn’t adapted out of the smash mouth football mindset. 
 
Systems like the run and shoot and air raid were designed for your receivers to be an extension of your run game. You get your best athletes in space, find the soft spot of the defense & let the QB get the ball out quickly. The quick hitters and screen plays are basically your 5 yard run plays which ultimately forces the defense to move closer to the line of scrimmage which opens up the throws over the top. 
 
Another thing that offense does on a high school level is it keeps the interest level high for the players. Kids don’t want to be fullbacks and tight ends anymore. They like to emulate what they see on tv. How many college/pro offenses are lining up under center and pounding the ball in to the middle of the defense? They’d rather be a Tyreek Hill than a Patrick Ricard. 
 
Tazewell has 11 different players on the roster that have caught a touchdown pass this season. There’s been two separate games that Creasy has thrown 6 touchdown passes to 6 different receivers. 
 
I’m not arguing those stats in this situation to say that he’s better than any other quarterback. I’m just using it to show that everyone is getting involved, they’re not force feeding anyone.

Try looking at the stats this year and look how much the ball is spread all over the place.
As far as last year, you have a D1 receiver, why wouldn't you get the ball to him every chance you have.  Think I have seen that comment made regarding other teams quite frequently on here.

So, the 85 yard TD pass I saw him throw in the 1st quarter Saturday that traveled 50 yards in the air and hit the receiver perfectly in stride didn’t happen?
Besides, have you watched football at every level in recent years. Tom Brady made a 25 year hall-of-fame career throwing those types of passes. It’s the way the games played now. It’s an extension of the run game. 
 
If it’s so easy, why isn’t every high school team in our region duplicating his feats?

Maybe I should have said “most of the players give 100%” , I stand corrected . I have issues when we as parents , fans or want to be coaches have disparaging things to say about the other teams/players and coaches . At the end of the day this is a game that we love , it has taken my son that was a slug (I can say that ) Xbox junkie as a child and molded him into tremendous young man . Do I hope we beat Union Saturday, yes but if we don’t ,my son will still be a “Dawg”…… he’s showed that for 4 years and he and the rest of this team have earned the “Dawg” status .

Nobody tops the quality of Graham announcing on the radio

That's what it is there. They tried to recruit him but he turned them down lol

Most of us have the maturity to give credit where credit is due. 

I wouldn’t say a lot, but thank you for being complimentary. 
 
Not really sure why we can’t compliment all kids for playing well, no matter what town they live in/school they play for.
