Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I watched Frozen II with my kids tonight, so I couldn’t follow along. This...is shocking. I knew Graham was better, but good God. That team’s a state champion if they do that three more times. ”CHOO CHOO”... Hokie1Pokie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokie1Pokie 350 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 You know, it's a shame Graham didn't play a tougher schedule, otherwise; this game would have been 58-7 instead of 48-7. Our schedule clearly hurt us. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham is really 50 points better when Graham plays it's A game and when Union has lots of injuries. Also, Appo is 40 points better than Ridgeview like I said they were and those two aren't a "toss up" game. Teams that can't advance past the 2nd round of the playoffs are not going to be in a "toss up" game with Appo. They would get throttled.

Doesn't really tell me if Union quit early in the game though. Obviously Graham was better, was just asking if they were 40 points better.

Some people do give Tony Palmer the credit he deserves. It's the ones who recall the lost decade of Graham football before he was hired as HC. Unfortunately, there are others who think Palmer is simply the beneficiary of a run of great athletes. That was what I meant when I said he was "underrated".

Graham out physicalled Union. Union likes smashmouth football. Graham smashed them in the mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat Dad 439 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I haven’t posted in a while, so I figured I would get on here and congratulate coach Palmer and the GMen...... Also, watching grown men talking **** to each other about high school football, like some on this thread, never fails in entertainment value. fridaynightstripes, Deleted Account, BigWinners and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,864 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Hokie1Pokie said: Tony understands the following concept well, and how to make it happen. Get your athletes out in space and in one on one situations. Graham does exactly that. Credit the other Palmer on defense. Since this man has arrived, it's like Graham's defense literally turned it around from day 1. I'll 2nd that. Graham had been experimenting with Meadows on D, just for this game, I think. I was hoping they would utilize him more against Union. He can just blow up a play by pushing linemen into the backfield. Awesome job by the coaching staff as well as the young men on the field.

Obviously Graham was better, was just asking if they were 40 points better. I don't know if "quit" is the right word, but had you seen Union since the Ridgeview game, it would leave you scratching your head. Several injuries definitely made a difference, no doubt, but the seemingly lack of an attempt to adjust to those injuries was puzzling to say the least. Kinda like being tired of vanilla ice cream, walking into BR 31 flavors and then asking for vanilla ice cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Hokie1Pokie said: Well, looks they would have needed to hold Graham to 6 points Real classy 😕 Union's only slim hope was a low scoring, tight game and that didn't happen. Graham dominated start to finish. Union couldn't get out of their own end and were down 21-0 quick. Union jus didn't have the horses to slow down the G-Men at all. Lester got whatever he wanted on the ground. This wasn't Graham airing it out everywhere, they ran all over Union. I think 21-0 and Union saw the light thru the tunnel, they knew they couldn't get enough stops even if they managed any offense which they couldn't. The game plan for Union, well, it's been a good season for the Bears. Appo is a run first team, and they won 21-0 tonight. Is Ridgeview really three TDs worse than Glenvar? No, but you can believe that if you want. They beat good teams solidly but it's not like Graham out there. But you're on it tonight, I'm not starting this again.

Tony knows what he has and he uses his playmakers the right way. He’s a great coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only teams they could drop would be Fort Chiswell and Princeton. All others are District games except for Bluefield and Union and you cannot fix that over night. Also the SWD is down right now and we cannot help that either. You just have to play who is on the schedule and try an work on it when you have openings.

Tony is a great head coach, yes, he's had talent but talebt cannot win championships without an exceptional coaching staff. I agree about the other Palmer. I've said it since the beginning of Tony bringing him onboard. Richlands was known more for their defensive prowess all those years than their offense. Snake was the architect of that defense. You know Mance is kicking himself for letting him go. Rex Bradshaw & D. Palmer have crafted a well-oiled machine. Tonight's defense reminded me of last year's during the playoff run. If they stay focused and don't get overconfident, I can't see Central having a chance. Hats off to Tony & staff and to the players who got the job done tonight!
