From what I've seen, Radford was a much tougher matchup on paper for Appomattox as opposed to Glenvar. I'm downright notorious for being wrong at this point but I would be surprised to see the Raiders lose here. 

Brody Meadows announced vis Twitter that he was selected for First Team US Army All-American! He will be inducted in Dallas & be there on signing day. That's a pretty elite accomplishment. I'm sure district, regional, & possibly state accolades are in his future as well. Congratulations to him! He's a fine young man & wish him all the best at UVA! 

Will the losing team's fanbase come on here next week and scream for their HC to get fired...
Stay Tuned!

Ok, I understand that, but do you know there weren’t any adjustments or did you just observe that it looked the same. There are a lot of factors go into a game plan I am sure, like personnel. If they had switched to a 40 or 50 front, but had small guys in because they didn’t have size to do it, would that have been better? If your best players are more suited for a 3-3 or 3-5, is it better to leave them or put them in something they can’t play in just for The sake of saying you adjusted something. 
I am truly not trying to sound like a prick, if I do I apologize, just having a conversation about what I saw on NFHS. I wasn’t there, but I can only imagine what goes into a game plan at these size schools for these big games. And in game adjustments when you are getting beat 48-13. Does 42-13 or 34-13 change anything. 
As a fan, and a follower of Union from a distance, I try not to question what coaches do because we as fans don’t know what goes on at their practice. And to say let’s start a petition to get rid of someone on a chatroom to me is crazy. 
 
 

I agree, 2014 NCAA had a better game plan than 22 Madden. 
As for the 3 man front, that seems to be everyones argument as to why you lost the game. Let’s say in the second half when it was 28-13, you jumped to a 50 front to stop the QB run, guess what happens then? They throw to Bradshaw everytime and there isn’t  a human on Unions team who can stop it. Or let’s say a 40 front, you can still double Bradshaw, but then still really nothing you can do to stop the run, because they just manhandled you up front. So 3 man, 4 man, 5 man front it wouldn’t have mattered.
The fact of the matter is that the 1st time you played them you had Honeycutt and Bishop, losing those two killed you. The T wasn’t as effective without that 3rd good back and losing Bishop on the line killed you. And don’t forget you lost your strongest and best defensive lineman to injury in the 1st half of this game.

Union was an 8-4 team that some think under achieved, but realistically whenever they played Graham Semi’s or finals, the season was ending.
GRAHAM WAS THE BETTER TEAM
Don't take a PE or Art degree to figure that one out

Looking back today ... you were pretty close on the score! 😉
 

Coaching came first, then the players...

Isabelle was a great add to the Graham coaching staff. His son is going to be a special player. I look forward to watching him develop over the next couple years. 

In 2019 Kempsville of Va Beach ended a 63 game losing streak dating back to 2013 but still only went 1-9. Two years later they are 9-1 and in the Region Final vs Green Run. Their only loss was a close one (13-21) to Green Run early in the season. Nice to see that you can turn around a program,

At least there is a definitive "plan" in place! 🤔🤔🤔😉 That is a start. 

Hopefully ... an a$$ whippin' delivered by the GRAHAM G-MEN! 

Bingo!

Go Glenvar! 😉

Your knowledge, information, and diplomacy always shines. Good job! 😉

Great..2 games in 1 day in the same place....can't beat that

If Graham comes in as prepared as they were this past Saturday ... it will be lights out! No doubt, another A game will be necessary. 
 
Go G-Men!

I think they have scrimmaged. Hopefully, it's a good game. I'm sure Graham.and Ridgeview will be well.prepared. Hopefully, GMen don't take Ridgeview lightly and bring their A game.

Agree.  The younger Meadows played very well.  Graham game planned well.  Union was content to double Bradshaw.  Bradshaw was essentially a decoy and Graham ran the ball very well.  Having a running back like Meadows to compliment Clements adds to Grahams Arsenal. Graham had over 300 yards rushing.  Great coaching job today for Graham.  G-men were tackling well and being physical.  I hate to hear about Sawyers getting hurt and possibly out for the rest of the playoffs.  Defense has indeed improved quite a bit.  It was evident today.
