If it was true wonder what the chances of the visitors winning and getting the game moved across state lines....i guess Maxwell would be the closest field if Graham wanted to stay close to home.

Can I ask how the gate$$$ is handled, we all know that the VH$L loves the gate money during playoff times to pay for their meetings at the beach in FL during the winter, just wondering because I know Bluefield loves them some $$$ too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham's only losses this year were at Mitchell stadium. 🤔 On a side note, why do posts disappear from the forum if they are non-derogatory, non-profane or non-abusive? Because you post stuff that's false trying to stir the pot. I'm the only one allowed to stir the pot. Don't like it? I can take care of it...

Do they have anyone fast enough to catch Lester is he gets an open space? No, they're actually quite small, but they're quick and athletic. And yes, I would say that they may have 3 that can catch him. Match him move for move, I'm not sure, but as fast, yes, they are fast. The biggest thing I see with Central is the misdirection and play calling within all that movement. Graham will have to be disciplined and read their keys to totally shut down their offense. Defensively, I truly have no clue how Central will handle Graham's offense. It may be that they match up perfectly or can't do a thing. Will be interesting to see how that works out.

I think its an interesting match up for sure. Central had a good plan to stop Atkins but Graham isnt line up and run it down your throat team. They have other weapons out side of Lester even though he is the best. Even though Graham has those monsters at tackles that are pretty weak in the middle of there o line IMO. Central should be able to take advantage of that. its hard to run trap when the d lineman beats the puller. Now can they tackle Lester? I have no idea. On Offense Central has to play keep away. I agree with you here that you counters and eye candy historically have killed Graham in the past and that is something Central does very well. This Graham team may be better than last year. I am interested to see what happens over the next few weeks Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie1Pokie 350 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Central is very well coached. Watching 5 minutes of film on them makes that very clear. They adapt quickly to an opponent. They adjust, see stuff, make changes. That's a direct reflection of a very well coached team, especially on the offensive side of the ball. This Central team is the second best team Graham has played. If Graham comes into this game thinking, "it's just Wise and they aren't a threat," then Graham will lose this football game. I don't think the GMen will have that mindset. Tony will have them ready to play. I think the GMen are focused and hungry. If Graham plays their game, then we will win, but this game isn't a running clock game. This game I think will be very close at halftime. Go GMen and hopefully all players stay healthy and hoping for an injury free game for both schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The county has to pay for all the usage at Mitchell. One of the biggest reasons people want Graham to have their own stadium. On another side note, I have been told that city of Bluefield also charges for parking. The way they collect this is by taking $.50 of each ticket sold GMEN94 and Mountain Football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wonder if Coach Owens knows the Poquoson coach that was from Grundy. They ran the wing t very effectively. What kind of defense does Central run? Central has something good going or they would not be there. If Graham keeps that focus and fire burning their going to be hard to stop, to many tools in the tool box and at a place they are mastering those tools. Not sure about that but here’s a nice article related to another coach & Coach Owens. https://www.heraldcourier.com/sports/vhsl-playoff-football-primer-wise-county-central-boss-luke-owens/article_a3a771a4-0f2b-11ea-9818-3bbcfae7bffa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 On a side not. The playoffs wont be over until December 14th this year. Maybe the season should have started one week earlier, if the playoffs are going to last this long. Somebody may be playing in a foot of snow.
