Guest Graham WVU Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Really not trying to be biased here, but definitely see Graham winning regardless by a long shot. If they play like usual it will be a blow out. But if not they still win by 2 or 3 TD. They will not be tested till semi finals or finals, been saying this since pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t think going to Ridgeview would be a test? Genuinely asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graham WVU Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Honestly no. Went to the Abingdon game and RV did not impress me none. that was first game that they have been tested by all season and there next will be this week with richlands, I put those 2 on the same level.

I honestly think RV is quite a bit better than Richlands. Just basing that off of what I saw when each team played Union. I was at the Abingdon/RV game aswell and I don’t think they played as bad as you think. If/when RV and Graham play it may be the 2nd time all year when the best player on the field isn’t wearing a G on their helmet. I’m not trying to hate on Graham because I expect them to win fairly easily this Saturday. Just discussing the possible region D title Game.

Would not be suprised to see richlands pull out with this one. But would love to go down to ridgeview and see Graham and Ridgeview match up and see there facilities.

You are possibly right on that being region D title game but after watching them play there wasnt one i would take over our starting 11. Thats on both sides. our best 5 is better than RV best player by long shot and not a single one is on same level as Cam Allen and Devin Lester.

I wouldn’t say that Adkins isn’t on the same level as Allen or Lester. Although those 3 are on a different level than probably anyone else in region D. I veered this thread off subject so let me get it back on path. I give Union a chance just because the game is at home. However, Union doesn’t have anywhere near the skill position play that is required to win this game. The only Skill players (QB, Wr, Rb, Cb) thAt Union has to match up are Jenkins and Falin. Jenkins due to his speed and Falin because he has made some plays on the outside this year. However, it will not be nearly enough I’m afraid. Not without the other pieces.

I think a lot depends on Graham's mental preparation. No game is ever a given. Union has a strong consistent football program. Physically, Graham may be better but mental mistakes can cost a team a game. If they can get Union out of their head like they did with Richlands, then they'll make it a game. They made some sloppy mistakes against VA High but overcame them to win handily. I look forward to good competitive game on Saturday.

FootballFan67 62 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 22 hours ago, Gridiron60 said: Will it be a three-peat for the Bears? Will Graham come out on top this time? Determining factors as you all see it? Graham is much improved as far as being more disciplined and defense has really stepped up since first few games. Union may not be as good as last year but they are still Union and it's the playoffs, anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I have heard how Sorry Union is , how Graham is going to score whenever they want , I guess by halftime the cheerleaders will be playing. I call bullsh&@ , Union has won 9 games this year, no one has given us nothing, I heard the same line last year “there is no way a one dimensional team like Union will beat Graham” well they did. This is a different team with many many new faces. Does Graham have a great team????, at the first of the year we heard how bad they were. by their fans. We have a tough game but everyone knew that the championship for D would have Graham envolved . So let’s Quit bitching about the fact we don’t run the spread and throw every down , we areUnion and we run the Rock, we will hit you in the mouth, and we have faced MW of Tennessee and they threw a lot (thank God for those penalties)My point is this , this team reminds me so much of the 1982 Powell Valley championship team , full of no names , no superstars, just kids going to work everyday , and yes these kids have seen this board because I have spoken to several Unchained and Bigdog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support this team like few people do. I’m just calling the game the way I see it. I’ll be there the night before with about 5 or 6 of the biggest Union fans that there is. All I’m doing is saying it will be an uphill battle. Yes, in 2016 we went to Appomattox and tried to pound the rock. 43-0. It didn’t matter. This notion of “if we run it we can win” isn’t the case when you are going against talented teams. Union will have to line up in the T and run it, yes. However, Union is going to have to sprinkle in some passing, which they haven’t done consistently all year.Nobody is asking for the spread, T bone, single wing, or anything else you want to come up with. I love the T, but on 3rd and 8+ it won’t cut it against a good defense. I hope I’m wrong. I would love to be wrong. And im not trying to question your credibility because I know you are also one of the biggest Union fans out there. Just differing opinions this week.

They are much improved and working better as a single unit. They cannot take win for granted and need to be in right frame of mind. I'm a realist, anything can happen in playoffs. Union has beat them three times in playoffs, I'd say they're more than capable of doing it four times. I hope it's a good, fair, competitive game with no injuries for either side. I've said I'll cheer on whomever wins our region and I will whether it's Graham, Union, Richlands, or Ridgeview.
