southbound 19 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 As I typed in the shortest distance to Grundy on Friday evening, my adrenaline was kicked in as I thought the Falcons would pull the upset. My travels brought me to a little town called Honaker and that is where my trip got interesting. My GPS went out and I immediately began to panic. Here is Southbound in a little hicktown with no idea where Grundy High School is. I stopped and ask an elderly man for directions, he was riding a horse along the road. Wow! He told me to go toward a little community called Sorge Creek and keep going and I would come out at a place called "The Raven". Then there would be signs leading me to Grundy from there. Well, this helped and I found my way to the game. I was a little late and someone told me that I missed some singing and tailgaiting. Oh well, I'm sure it is nothing like the Falcons do for a home game anyway. Speaking of the game, I was so disappointed that the Falcons came up short. I wanted to congratulate the Grundy team on their win. Everyone on here knows that I would never make any excuses, but the officials were awful and maybe costed us the game. The last touchdown #21 ran for Grundy should have been called back. There was at least 2 holds on the play. On our last possession, the time keeper kept running extra seconds off the clock and their defensive players were tackling our receivers. On the last play, we had a receiver get knocked down in the end zone. Not to mention the bogus pass interference call on us to allow them to score the last touchdown too. There are so many iffy calls that go against the Falcons during most games anyway. Well, I am proud of the Falcons 2 long trips (Carroll & Grundy) and we fought back like true champions in this game. We will get back to Falcon Field this week against the hated Va High Bearcats. I think the Falcons will be victorious this week for sure. Someone said the Bearcats had only won 2 games this year.

southbound 19 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 you forgot to mention Grundy watered down Abingdon's half of the field... Now that you mention it-I noticed the Falcons were slipping a lot in the first half. They seemed to adjust their cleats at halftime. I am not one to make excuses just calling it like I see it. Thanks for letting me know this Lance-it makes sense to me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconman 44 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I was wondering where you guys were, Dad thought you guys might have wrecked. Better late than never. I thought the Falcons fought til the end, um Grundy is a good team. I think Grundy gives Richlands a tough time. Richlands is not the Juggernaut that evey1 thinks, especially on the road. (Remember Falcon Hill) They have to go to Grundy too, and you know I said it Friday that the Lighting there is horrible. I thought we struggled to pick up on the ball in the first half. Lets face it, Richlands can't run the ball and will struggle in the passing game just like my Falcons did. Thats why I think, Grundy gives em a real game. Grundy isn't a bad team, I still think we are better, but their not bad. I think if the lighting was better, we win that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richlands rolls the rest of the regular season, just like they did in Atown. Against our first team the closest anyone has come to us is 31 points and that was GC.

That was my idea...I told Coach Compton to take the goats off the field while we were on our road trip tour of SWVA the last 5 weeks so it could grow out...worked like a charm.
