Ah jeez you mentioned tradition, now I'm gonna get flamed (again) by all the Union people bc I believe teenagers are less concerned with that stuff compared to other things lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,550 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Congratulations Bears! Your QB came through big time with some great passes & Pollier is just a beast. Kudos to GMen for fighting back after I don't even know how many penalties and being down by what seemed like a lot, lol. Not an excuse but it hurt not having Isaiah Justice on O & especially D. Power won over speed, both great teams. Good luck rest of the season Bears! Thanks for an exciting game! Unchained and Union_Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard nosed 30 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Mason Polier proved tonight why he is a D1 prospect. Congrats Union well played. Tough loss for the Gmen but someone had to lose. Unchained 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eersfan 36 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 A question for the Union fans, did the AD really ban the air horns and was the police enforcing it at the game? I’ve heard comments made about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard comments made about it. Yes sir. I was there when the three officers approached our fans with the air horn. The officer asked them to take it to their vehicle. I spoke to the officers at halftime. They said the ad told them if he hears the horn again, he wants them escorted out. The officers had to play devils advocate. Grateful they’re we’re cool about it and only has them take the horn out. This is happened right after we went up 27-10. Sounds like someone was butt hurt and decided to try and be somebody. In in the end, glad it didn’t ruin a good game. Check that, a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eersfan 36 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’m a Graham and Beaver fan and I wasn’t there last night. I apologize for all that . I’ve been to plenty of games at Mitchell and there have been horns and cowbells galore on both sides. Giles had air horns last week I’m pretty certain. It just seems a little over the top to enforce something as insignificant as that. I’m sure it came from complaints of having to endure it at BSG. But that’s high school football, if your fans are willing to travel that helps lessen the other teams home field advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriticalNoise 180 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 The thing is, it was just air horns. Not even the train horns used at the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eersfan 36 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I totally agree. It’s a part of the game. I watched an NFL game last year and have been to HS games when fans have had a referees whistle. That’s something that can interfere with the game. The stands at Mitchell are so far from the center of the field that I doubt players notice the horn much.

No room for whistles in football stands. Every town has their way of cheering for their team, be it with train horns and cowbells or just setting and golf clapping. Graham’s band played hard and loud in spite of low numbers. They played all the time during our offense being at the line. And during the winning FG. But that’s football. If you want to play in quiet, play chess. Gesh, this is high school football. We have sons, cousins and nephews playing. Cheer for them how you cheer. I was shocked at this. And like I mentioned, the timing of it was eye raising. But let this not take away from the hospitality our boys were shown. Fed them some good papa johns after the game. Nice jester guys. Much respect for that move. I’m guess the ad wasn’t involved with that move😂🤣 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Simple, Giles losing so play the horn asll they want.

Eersfan 36 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 You’re right Ol Dawg, that’s what makes HS football and sports in general great. Back in my day , I loved to play different opponents at their place. It was always nice to see other school’s culture, facilities , etc. There were fields that looked like they hosted a truck pull on Thursday night and some with grass like a putting green. Either way it was something that stood out to me as a player and gives me and my teammates something to talk crap about in our old age. I guarantee you that with Graham being the home team next year for the Graham -Beaver game, Bluefield fans could have a couple thousand air horns and it would just blend in with the other crowd noise. And no one would care. If the other fans air horns are too noisy , it’s only because our fans aren’t cheering enough to drown them out.
