Gunz9 71 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 If Cousin is the main focus it could be a long night for AHS. Ben Meade at quarterback is run threat as well. Cousin may have had the biggest night but the runs by Meade were crucial. Good job by both teams. bgibb, EH31 and GMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Poor clock management and play calling by Abingdon right before halftime. Didn't get much better for them after that. I felt like after Sturgills second interception they didn't have near as much confidence in him. Awesome second half game plan by Graham. Great play calling and good defense. The exact opposite of what we seen against richlands. Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact opposite of what we seen against richlands. Apparently not only did the kids learn from the Richlands game but the coaches did as well. Tonight was an overall good team effort by the coaches and players. Abingdon come out in the 2nd half and was dead. I was glad to see Cousin get the ball more. Great job by Ballard tonight. He played his best game. Meade is a gamer for sure. Proud of the Gmen!! bgibb and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcityfootballfan 517 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Ben Meade was simply awesome in the QB position during this game. He saved the G-Men numerous times on 3rd down. Very impressed with his decisions and even more impressed to know he is a great guy off the field as well. bgibb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcityfootballfan 517 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 No doubt, the Graham coaching staff learned some valuable lessons during, and after, the Richlands game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Great win for Graham. Very impressive. Feel sorry for Abingdon though, as it almost assuredly means road trips for however long they last in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 From the BHC...Cousin scored four touchdowns, all on runs of 30 yards or more. I think that's why most people, myself included, were saying stop Cousin. I know that Graham has more weapons, but there is something demoralizing to a team to just be run all over. Sounds like the Graham D was the real star of the game. To basically shut down Abingdon's offense is a real credit to them. Congratulation G-Men!

EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Graham's defense did play very well. One knock on them is the first man to the ball needs to start wrapping up. They gave up a few first downs by going for the big hit and letting Abingdon bounce off. It's not all about the hit stick. Cousin did it at least 3 times. That boy is going to hurt himself playing like that. Way too valuable to your team to be on the sideline because you were playing to hit instead of to tackle. futbolking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Special teams played well with the exception of the opening kickoff (There was a block in the back missed on that one, by the way)... I am impressed with Chris Chinault getting down the field and making plays and a few others. Just wish they wouldn't "squib" kick it so much. Who are they afraid of? What team is going to have more speed then them on these kickoffs? Also, on the squib kicks, they kept kicking it to Abingdon's best running back (Fulton).... Other than that, they did a good job and are much improved from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I would like to congratulate the Graham G-Men on an awesome win against a really good team, I know as fans the Graham faithful have had to endure years of mediocre football by their standards, so welcome back and I hope you win many more big games in the future. Their at one time was a big five in Southwest Va. ( Gate City, Powell Valley, Appalachia, Graham, and Richlands) I hope Graham can return to their on time excellence. starcityfootballfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
