Says the guy who joined the board tonight, lol.No one denied Graham had transfers. Kids transfer all the time for various reasons not related to football like a parents’ job. Even if they do transfer for football, who cares? I don’t begrudge any kid wanting to go where he thinks is the best fit for himself even if it’s not Graham. Did you join the board just to address this issue that obviously bothers you, lol? ((Big Hug)) Feel better? 

Bluefield did not plan well or adjust on defense against Ridgeview and it nearly cost them the game. I guarantee Rex & Snake will have Graham’s defense well prepared for Ridgeview and will make adjustments as needed. Graham’s defense is clicking on all cylinders right now. If Ridgeview slings it up deep too many times, Bradshaw will have at least one pick 6. Ridgeview should take advantage of Graham’s biggest weakness, the kickoff team. They haven’t cost us a game but in a close one, they could. 

I have a feeling you have no idea just how dangerous your last statement was, as it relates to a hammer in your future.  The PA announcer for Graham and Bluefield is one of the better ones in the entire area. You aren't getting close, will not find anyone even close to the knowledge level of the man behind that microphone at Graham and Bluefield with any other PA announcer in the area. I can assure you of that.

Graham will be honoring fallen officer Michael Chandler tomorrow with a sticker on their helmets. Fans are asked to wear blue in his honor as well. The Graham Football Boosters and the girls basketball basketball team will be donating their half of the 50/50 tomorrow to the family of Michael Chandler. 
Come out tomorrow to the game and support this great family. 

I agree that Tony has been the main reason for Graham’s consistency. Having a coach that kids want to play for means more than anything in this area. He’s also done a great job of learning to delegate things to assistant coaches, and he’s done a lot better job of making in game adjustments. The 2015-2017 teams he had were more talented than almost every team they played but they struggled after halftime (especially against Richlands) due to not making great adjustments. 
 
With that being said, Graham has been blessed with unreal talent during his stretch as the HC. Roman Workman, Jamorya Cousin, Taymon Cooke, Anthony Edwards, Nick Kestner, Cam Allen, Devin Lester, Brody Meadows, Xayvion Turner-Bradshaw..and many others. No other team on this side of the state (Bluefield not included) has had that collection of athletes. 
 
Graham has had at least one D1 skill position player on the field since 2015. That will win you some games that you shouldn’t sometimes.

I think Coach Palmer has a good mix of discipline and forgiveness. His time as a police officer has helped him very much. Players want to play for him. He comes from old school but doesn't force that attitude at all costs. Players want to play for him. 

I think Tony Palmer is an excellent head coach and had quality personnel in place prior to the addition to Dennis Palmer. I do think he brought a new dynamic to Graham’s defense and helped mold it into the powerhouse it seems to evolved into but that couldn’t have happened without Tony & other coaches buying into it. It’s long been said by many, Dennis Palmer is a defensive mastermind. Of course, having talent that’s coachable is always a plus. I have always believed Mance getting rid of Palmer lead to the downward spiral of the Blue Tornado. I dare say a lot of Richlands people feel the same way. I think the coaching staff in conjunction with talent has helped propel Graham into a solid winning program. Kids love Tony & the other coaches. They have fun & play hard for them, That’s what it’s all about…memories for a lifetime. Football is so much more than a game. 

That means I can go watch Bluefield Friday and influence officials Saturday ---- I mean do the P. A.
