redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Complete beatdown of the Spartans. There is a risk of catching covid and losing the rest of the season for Union, a lot to risk and very little to gain. I can fully support getting games in and giving the players the opportunity to play but Turner is rolling the dice a little imo. Maybe he figures they don't have a lot to lose if they don't get to participate in the playoffs...

jarhead24219 440 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I would think it’s a favor between the former D coach of Union and Travis , we will see if it helps or hurts , something Tom Turner would do, after all a game is just a practice too, win or loose. I see some younger kids playing a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he wants to win but he's playing alot of young kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unchained 587 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Travis would never say this,but this spring season IMO has been all about prep for the fall. I'm glad we got the game Thursday. We have a bunch of kids needing the game experience. I'm enjoying the JV coverage that NFS has. The future at Union is bright. That JV bunch really gets to the football PDQ. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of the 9th graders are on varsity so imagine how good they'd be with the whole class playing JV. Unchained 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching Central's JV a few years ago and saying that they were going to be hard to handle in 2-3 years. I feel the same with this Union JV.

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Have you guys seen the middle school team? Some of those linemen look as big as the varsity's. As far as this game goes, I really hope Union has all the kinks worked out now, or this might be a closer game than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCLR32 35 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I don't know the specific details as to why the Bears are playing Eastside since Union has wrapped up their playoff birth and doesn't need the help, and playing this game against Eastside could be seen as a gamble when considering injury risk and Covid risk for the Bears. But, pretty classy move by Coach Turner in my opinion. The kids want to play football. They are simply........... football players, and it's in the blood from the days of Appy and P. Valley. Coach Turner is simply letting his kids play football, and to he** with the risk. Sometimes, it just comes down to doing what you love to do, and that is......coach football and let the kids play football. Classy move on behalf of the Bears Head Coach and staff.

Well said my friend... Coach Turner needs to play his true starters this time to make sure he has all the kinks worked out. I feel he has players that can play both ways but he wants to figure out which players he can plug in to help out in certain situations. Go BEARS!!!
