tbgfan 856 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Here is writeup from BHC along with their prediction: Union (10-1) at Dan River (10-1) 6:00P.M. First meeting. Union must rely on its experienced line corps in this matchup of power versus speed. The Bears have reeled off nine straight wins behind master blasters such as Hunter Dorton, David Snodgrass and Jeb Stidham....Gritty Cameron Fannon has accounted for 14 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards rushing for Union, sophomore QB Bailey Turner has been solid and 6-4 junior receiver James Mitchell can be spectacular. Union led just 12-6 against Lee entering the fourth quarter last week before Fannon scored twice. DR allowed just 72 points in the regular season, but one of those wins came via forfeit. Zemar Anderson, who doubles as the QB for the Wildcats, has collected 12 sacks. The 6-2, 205-pound Anderson, who was selected as the Conference 37 POY in basketball last season, has passed for 840 yards and rushed for 252 while accounting for 16 scores.....The list of DR standouts includes Jaquon Durant (1,207 yards rushing), Cameron Hunt (583 yards rushing), Jaylan Fitzgerald (352 yards receiving) and Devin Stone (277 yards receiving). DR also has the ability to ground and pound, rushing for 224 yards in a first round playoff win over Wise County Central last season. HC Ferrell Edmunds moved Anderson to QB midway through the season opener against defending Class 3A state champ Magna Vista and the senior guided the Wildcats to a 36-21 win. DR's only loss came in a two-point decision against defending 2A champ Appomattox.... Prediction: Union 21, Dan River 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason 299 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Union's twitter feed should have a good deal of updates... https://twitter.com/unionbearslive WAXM's website calendar says they'll have Burton/Galax... I am starting to think WAXM's idea of a game of the week are blowouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 WAXM probably doesnt have the greatest budget so they are probably going to cover the closest school playing on a night like tonight when nothing is extraordinarily close to Norton. Besides, WAXM is located in Norton too so if its about even at this point they will probably follow Burton anyway given they probably receive more advertising money from Norton than Big Stone.

One of toughest kids I've seen, but against monster Appo next week, if Jeb isn't 100%, who knows if Union can pull it out. They woint be scared for sure, winning at DR is huge. 94 APPY DAWG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope he will be good to go next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 We were in the stands and I saw Union had the ball with 95 yards to go and BlueRazor and I both said, "If you're a real D1 athlete, this is where Mitchell does his thing." Congrats Bears!!! Now go bear Appo. Bigrhsfan, Mountain Football, SuperX and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
