CriticalNoise 182 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I stood on the fence, but if memory serves me right, I don't recall Richlands making it past midfield in the first half. Maybe 1 first down other than the penalty first downs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm 45 and losing my memory lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 we won but we may have lost TURNER, clean play just bad luck.One of the coaches said it looked bad from what BAILEY described to him where he hurt.Going forward may be tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniON_FoOtBaLL 68 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Mediocre??? Union dominated that game richlands has 1 first down in the 1st half an richlands is a very good team. Richlands is not as explosive this year but they are still a very good team. They are gonna win alot of games. Union defense is absoulty top notch. Like I posted earlier some people thought Richlands had the edge at the LOS but it was a mis match. I hope the blues have a awesome year good game guys glad the rain held off for the most part.

Was always the QB in 8th 9th grade. He isnt listed as the back up but i guarantee If Bailey is out he will be back there. An from what I just Hurd he is fine got a few text from coaches that he is ok. 94 APPY DAWG, GoBearsGo and Union_Fan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 1 hour ago, EH31 said: Just listening to the game on the radio it seemed like Union dominated the game and if it wasn't for a couple untimely turnovers the score could've been a 3 td spread. Is that how it played out on the field? Curious why you would think that? That's how played out. Union dominated LOS on both sides, got down to the 1 on two separate occasions and left with zero points. No offense to RHS, the Blues hung tough, but the OL couldn't hold back the nasty Bear DL.

JDHoss 249 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Random thoughts: * I was a little bummed that this didn't come down to the final play, but I guess that had to end sometime. Still a good game though. * Good crowd, but not as big as I thought it would be. Uncertain weather may have had something to do with that. *Thankful that the weather held out for the most part. On the way over from Kingsport it rained pretty hard a couple of times. *Thought at the half that Union was going to win unless they imploded with turnovers. They really just dominated both sides of the LOS, and probably should have been up 2-3 TD at the half. *Really surprised Richlands had so much difficulty moving the football, especially on the ground. *Also surprised that Richlands punted to Mitchell after angling their first punt out of bounds. I have no idea why any opponent would ever willingly put the football in his hands. *Didn't understand why Mance didn't go for 2 after the TD. The way Union was grinding the football, possessions were going to be limited. hhstigers7327, Gridiron60 and BigWinners 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearDawg 105 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Our first home game as a Bear family did not disappoint. Union was strong and had a chance to put plenty more points on the board. But football happens and 16-7 is what we got. Seen a lot of good sportsmanship from both teams. Even the richlands kid that hit Owens after the whistle blew was helping people up and checked on turner after his injury. Fans afterward were polite as well. Great atmosphere Now to address the prick calling my son and his teammates SOB's...Big man. Create a new account to hide behind and talk about kids. If the Bears were gearing up outside the stadium away from the flag and everyone's attention, get over it. Not any different than if they were in a locker room. Maybe you should worry about yourself and focus on the flag during the NA. My guess is you sat down in your kapernick jersey. Disappear pal. You're not wanted here haha.

BlackWolf5 26 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Congrats to Union they played a very good game last night! Richlands defense played a very good game but they can't be out on the field 80% of game. They are going to have to get something figured out on offense! #2 is going to have to just hit he's short routes and work the ball down the field as far as running the ball I seen some good runs from both rb's but if I was Mance I would go to T or power I and run it right down the field! I thought they was going to use #72, 45 & 44 some at rb last night would've been the night to do it! Richlands just put it behind you and get ready for Blacksburg in 2wks!!

Not the same fundamentally sound Richlands I'm used to seeing. A huge drop off in athletes as well. GC hung with Richlands until the end and gave them plenty of fits, and GC is far from a powerhouse. Knowing what Union is returning, I expect a big win in Union's favor. Union 35 Richlands 14 I think most of the former Blues players know what is missing factor is and why the team is not fundamentally sound as in the past. Mance shook up his coaching last year and it's catching up to him. Maybe he can turn it around before the season gets too far along but I'm not too hopeful but also hope I'm wrong.

A very long season if defense keeps giving up 290 yards & offense can't run or pass, get past Blacksburg, should have some easy wins maybe.

I figured the way we totally dominated that game from the start they had well over 300 but wasn't positive...bet we had zero passing lol and doubt we even attempted a pass...rate night no attempts were needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
