Read this board some over the years when the Bobcats are involved, but first time poster  Wanted to know your thoughts on Union vs Radford in the state semi's?  I think it's going to go right down to the wire with 2 very similar and even matched teams.  No surprise at all if Union wins this game.  Big time surprised if either team (the winner) comes within 6 points of Nickel and that East Rockingham team.  Not wanting to send a negative message to our kids on vapreps, but one poster recently stated he felt East Rock was 10 points better than Radford.  I think it's more like 6 points, but that ain't much in High School and the winner of the Union and Radford has a legitimate shot, although a slight dog, to win the state title.  When watching on NFHS both teams multiple times, I would favor Union by 2 or so points, but the been there and done that thing for Radford leads to believe that is worth 4-6 more points which means it really is anyone's game and a toss up type game.

Also, how about Abingdon in the state semi's in 3A ball.  Radford squashed a solid Northside team and Union and Abingdon traded blows this year.  With several of the 3A teams setting it out like Charlottesville just ending their season due to Covid and several in the Lynchburg area, Abingdon has a real chance just like Union to play for a state title.  With teams in the 2A level setting it out like JM, Dan River, M-Ville, Greensville, and Brunswick, this is a golden opportunity for not just Radford, but also Union.

Radford didn't play Northside, they beat Botetourt by about 30 though.  Union spends their summers playing travel ball down south so they are used to playing big time athletes, Radford won't have anyone better than guys they have faced in the past. Just depends on if they can guard people without fouling, and if Cusano or Rasnick can get hot from outside. I'm not sure if Radford has the size to handle Union in the paint, they are one of the best offensive rebounding teams you will find.

Is the game between Union and Radford being streamed by any radio stations tonight?

Union is starting to get away from their game plan.  Playing a little out of control.  They need to settle down and start playing their game again.  They don't need to run with Radford, that will only turn out badly for them.

Radford does not have the size to counter Bunch and Cusano. Pound it down in the blocks Bears.
