The DE is a good looking kid and plays hard......Pulaski County controlled the game from start to finish. I heard Bluefield's offense looked bad, but it's early yet. The Offensive line played particularly poorly is what I was told. Was I told correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrows and FC 1s - 2 to 0 Narrows and Fort didn't reach the red zone. 2s - 2 to 1 Narrows Narrows and PikeView 1s - 2 to 0 Narrows 2s - 4 to 0 Narrows Narrows and Carroll Co. 1s - tied 1 each. Carroll scored on their 8th play. Narrows on their 5th or 6th. 2s - Carroll run their 10 plays without getting in the red zone and Narrows called it a day. From what I seen, if I were to rank the teams in order of performance today, I'd go Narrows, Carroll Co., FC, PikeView. who did narrows have at QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had skintight coverage on one pass, but the receiver just made an incredible play. Now, some of the instances where their receivers got behind us will be corrected with experience, but Union has had that problem as long as I can remember regardless of who was back there. And it's not that Gibson is bad, I just think that his talents could best be served elsewhere when there's another option at QB. Who is the other option at QB didn't notice anyone else play unless it was on the other end of field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,148 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 14 minutes ago, goose111874 said: Who is the other option at QB didn't notice anyone else play unless it was on the other end of field You have Gibson, Lester, Hall, and Bunch. I was primarily referring to Bunch. Of course, I don't know what Travis' mindset is for a primary formation this year, but if it's going to be run heavy out of the T with an occasional pass then Gibson or Lester would make a great 4th run option. If it's going to be spread whatsoever then I think Bunch is the choice. I may have missed it, but I don't recall Hall getting any reps.

The Offensive line played particularly poorly is what I was told. Was I told correctly? Pretty accurate...I was looking forward to seeing the RB and DB play from Bluefield as I know they are being recruited/committed to D-I programs. Just didn't see that potential today, however I'm sure they have what it takes. The DE is def has a D-I body and played with great effort, IMO. I should also note that Pulaski County is pretty good and I will bet anyone here a soda pop that Lord Bottletop beats Bluefield by 20!

Hokie1Pokie 350 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 All of the Div players Bluefield has are just that, Div 1 future players. But, because they have some Div 1 players doesn't automatically mean their Offensive Line is full of them. It's not. Their question mark is exactly what Graham's is, and that's the offensive line. This is why I think and have had the opinion that Graham and Bluefield will be tight and Graham may win. Graham's D will present some problems for Bluefield OL and that game likely is coming down to turnovers.

Nailed it, Travis wouldn’t let Bunch throw the ball the whole scrimmage 1 pass? Afraid of out shining his starter. This has went on for years at Union. The spears/hall is another instance.

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 JIB and TS were to be at TV yesterday I believe. Not sure if Eastside and Holston may have faced each other. That used to be a common first scrimmage matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize that until I listened to the U radio broadcast of the scrimmage. He had some wheels. However, I was more impressed with #10. If I remember correctly, he's the one that ate us alive with the pass. I can't complain with Tanner Hall. He did throw for over 2000 yards his senior year, BUT Spears was definitely the best QB in Union's history. CriticalNoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRISH-FAN18 323 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 J.I. Burton overall looked the best at Twin Valley Saturday. Their run game and defense both look solid. They're going have plenty of speed. The biggest surprised was Rye Cove. Not sure how telling a scrimmage is, but they're definitely better than they have been in recent years and only time will tell will them.

One of the running backs they have looked good though. Pretty quick & shifty. Castlewood & Rural Retreat both looked even. I'd give RR the advantage when they play in the benefit game cause they seemed to be more well rounded as a team. I couldn't get a good read on Lebanon. It seemed like they were more testing & tuning things and not risking getting players injured or overworked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
