futbolking 766 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I give Tazewell the edge in this one. Graham's defense didn't stop Bluefield one single time (I know, it's possibly the best Bluefield team in a decade). Tazewell matches up well in size, strength and speed with Graham. They have an experienced QB that is both a passing and a rushing threat. Several rushing and receiving weapons. Big and strong offensive and defensive line, bruising fullback. Tazewell wins if they can limit turnovers. Graham will have to show significant improvement on defense if they expect to win this week. Should be a good competitive game with a lot of points however and it wouldn't surprise me to see Graham pull out the "w". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaverHokie 35 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm a Bluefield grad, but tend to support Graham too...and also rooted for Tazewell to break their long drought. They really seem to have returned from the depths. I just don't know how much the problem is Graham has a poor defense, or how much it was who they were playing, or some combination of. I was impressed that even after losing the starting QB and bringing in Workman, the passing game was still there. Should be an interesting game, I don't have enough info to make a pick in this one...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Workman probably would be the starter, if he wasn't so valuable on defense. Big strong kid, great arm.....smart and tough as nails. It's better for Graham overall if Meade starts, because although he doesn't have the arm strength, he adds the dimension of being a running threat, similar to Sheets a couple years back. With Workman at QB, Graham loses a valuable outside LB on defense and a very good TE on offense. Hopefully Meade will get better soon, it's better for the team if they are both on the field. starcityfootballfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs52 483 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 As long as the Dawgs stay healthy they pull this one out! They will pound the ball the and then hit ya with the pass! Should be another good game between these two rivals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHS89 77 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Graham picks off 3 passes and wins this, 35-28. The crappy field keeps them under 40 (and the crappy stands keeps me wondering what's going on). The G-Men are just sick with athleticism and they gain confidence every week going forward. starcityfootballfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHS89 77 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Very respectfully disagree. Graham scores no less than 17 in any game this year. Whoa, that's a lot of limb behind me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcityfootballfan 517 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Based on week #1 the edge goes to Tazewell. Based on my heart .... Graham gets the win. However, my head tells me that Tazewell wins in a close one. Unfortunately, I would not be surprised to see Graham enter district play with an 1-4 record. I sure hope that I am wrong.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Crappy field? Bulldog Staduim has one of the best natural fields in the area! Probably speaking from the point of view of the visitors bleachers. Having set over there, it is tough to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Probably speaking from the point of view of the visitors bleachers. Having set over there, it is tough to see. I've heard that said by several people before. However aside from a select few stadiums the same can be said about most all of them in the area. Blacksburg has to have the worst visitor's section I have ever been to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ryan is right.......the front side of the visitor bleachers is right on the track. The home bleachers concrete foundation takes the home bleachers a little farther back. That being said it still is a long way from the field and the bleachers are really built low. Me and Ryan have made a few trips over to the visitors side to spend some time with Canes & Hurricane watching the action and it really isn't very good but few are.

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Last time I was at Amelia, those were by far the worst visitor bleachers I had ever been at period. Reminded me of the old wooden bleachers at Graham High School, where they used to play midget league football with the BTC Lions and Wyatt Wolverines? Anybody remember those things. Of course that was 15 years ago when I was at Amelia, surely they have upgraded by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because of the prople we visit, but because the view sucks. Lol. The players block a lot of the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHS89 77 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 No brother, it's Graham's first live action on grass this year that keeps them under 40. It's the crappy stands that keep me from seeing half those points scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
