God wanted Grundy to win that '02 playoff game. 3" of slush on that field, which totally neutralized Graham's strengths. Even still, Graham's WR dropped the tying TD with :14 left that couldn't have hit him any more square in the chest.
Noone would ever think it but Grundy actually had just as much speed that year as Graham did. Bradshaw may have been the fastest on the field but not by much at all. HT put that ball on the money for sure, I was less than 5 feet from the kid that dropped that ball. Always wondered if Carlock would have went for 2 If he caught that ball or not.
I remember that game at Grundy ... Graham fans were on pins and needles! Best ride back from Grundy that I ever had. I also remember the playoff game between the two the very same year. Great memories!
Good memories for you on that one maybe, I was on the losing end of that one and just missed catching the winner in regulation. The playoffs at Mitchell that year was a completely different story lol , we got beat I think 42-14 or something like that. The next year in 02 it went opposite with Graham winning big in the regular season and Grundy winning in a nailbiter in the Region Finals. (better memory)
Earlier this year when Central played at Grundy even though they won they wrote an article about the game that started out with how the field grass was high and looked like it hadn't been cut all week or something to that extent.
