futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Graham stopped Martinsville on the 2 yard line....on 4th down... Referee signals touchdown!! You could tell they were drunk. The kids who played in the game will tell you they smelled the alcohol on their breath. I do believe that coach Carlock sent in the game film to the VHSL and protested, but they did nothing about it. Biggest rip off I've ever witnessed. This team should've been playing for a state title that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I can't believe that was THIRTY years ago.... My dad was in that video carrying the chains and my brother appeared for just a couple of plays as a freshman in that game..... Time flies.

frito gonzales 103 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 That was fun to watch. I really hope Coach Williams can get Graham back to playing physical football like they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Did Graham have two different players attempt extra points? After the first TD, the kicker was right footed. After the second, he was left footed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 That was fun to watch. I really hope Coach Williams can get Graham back to playing physical football like they used to. If anything, they'll be in good physical condition. He's working the heck out of those kids, which is good to see. It'll be interesting to see what type of offense he installs. One thing they have going against Bluefield going in is the element of surprise. I guess Bluefield will be scouting the scrimmages, though. They still seem small and quick like last year, but man he's going to have those boys in shape!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Did Graham have two different players attempt extra points? After the first TD, the kicker was right footed. After the second, he was left footed. Yes, the lefty was a freshman that season. He could kick the snot out of the ball but you never knew where it was going to go. I can recall during his 4 years at Graham, on PATs, he kicked the ball into the long snapper's butt/back twice, donked it off his helmet once, and once kicked a PAT that went straight up in the air and landed six inches in front of the tee. BTW, he ended up being the SWD Lineman of the Year his senior season and went on to VT, which didn't pan out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone from Bluefield or Graham expecting results like the past 2 years are truly kidding themselves. I expect a close game this year that could go either way. In my opinion Graham should be much improved. The community and the kids seem to have alot of respect for the new coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Anyone from Bluefield or Graham expecting results like the past 2 years are truly kidding themselves. I expect a close game this year that could go either way. In my opinion Graham should be much improved. The community and the kids seem to have alot of respect for the new coach. I went by there and watched for a while and I can tell you that these kids are motivated and working their butts off. I don't ever recall them working this hard, Carlock used to put them through the wringer back in the day, but this guy doesn't put up with any slacking off. These kids will be in superb shape. They don't have a lot of size (again), but they will have a lot of heart, and I doubt there will be one ounce of quit in them. Graham surely hired the right man for the job. I'm just glad to see all of the enthusiasm. Edited August 4, 2011 by futbolking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frito gonzales 103 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I still think Bluefield wins by a good margin, but Graham will be better just by having better preparation and game coaching than last year. I swear I think WeeCee/Marrs enjoyed watching the team get killed. Give Graham another year or two and they are gonna be very good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Graham can keep it close this year, they do have an element of surprise. I don't even know what type of offensive or defensive scheme Graham will run this year....Going to be interesting to see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frito gonzales 103 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You're right about the element of surprise futbolking. I bet Graham doesn't show anything during the grid-o-rama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Watching that clip reminds me of how excellent that particular Graham team was -- and the fact that Richlands was awful to precisely the same degree that Graham was good. As much as it wouldn't bother me to see the G-Men recover some of their glory, I hope that those kind of days don't revisit Richlands any time soon at all.
