UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have a hard time seeing anyone from Region D run with a fully healthy Appomattox team. I think Appomattox A vs a region D winners A is a solid 17-20 points better. BoBob and Graham32 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 When it comes to this game, I think if Union brings their A and Graham brings theirs, it could go either way with Graham being a slight favorite. Union hasn’t played a full game all year. Haven’t been tested all year. Could hurt them. Graham seems to have some penalty issues and that could swing things in Unions favor. I expect it to be high scoring, 34-30 type game. Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T8KNDookeez 100 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 1 hour ago, BigWinners said: They had 20+ penalties against Norton. They get called. Pretty lame excuse. Union had not played a real team since Elizabethton scrimmage. The rust showed. Hopefully it's gone by THU if not Graham will crush then. I don’t understand the “lame excuse” I said they were a good team but if plagued by penalties it could really hurt them at Graham. Seems as if we agree with that statement.

Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 40 minutes ago, Gmen2021 said: Graham has not given up a point on D yet everyone on here is talking about tackling. I don’t get it. Focus will be there guaranteed. They had better be. Union will be much better than Richlands or Tazewell. It will be a whole different level of play. They gashed Graham big time in the spring with the running game. I like what I see with Graham so far, but Union is the defending regional champs and Graham had better be focused. They have never beaten Union at Mitchell stadium. That should be reason enough to be focused. Better be prepared for a hard hitting physical game from a well coached team. Union may be the most balanced team Graham will face all year, including the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 8 hours ago, Gmen2021 said: Graham won’t give up 200 yards rushing Thursday. Spring was last season! Different cast with Bradshaw playing. His effect on the game transcends his touches. Correct . If Union gashes Graham's defense like last year, it could be a long night for Graham. Correct. Look, I'm pulling for Graham, but until they prove that they can beat Union at home, Union is the favorite in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears' 1st team has only played 2 halfs. I hope that doesn't bite them Thursday. Lee TD was on kick return I think Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T8KNDookeez 100 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Don’t forget Graham was coming off of quarantine in the spring and had to put 3 new starters in the secondary on 2 days practice. But an L is an L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Appomattox A vs a region D winners A is a solid 17-20 points better. Not so sure about that. Appomattox can be a handful for most any team WHEN they are at full strength. Not sure if that will happen right now. If they can't get Lawing back thats a big hit for them. Backup is a good athlete and a better passer in my opinion but you don't just take the 2A player of the year and replace him especially as good as he is on defense. If we can get back to full strength it should be a great game between us and Region C folks and even better if we get the chance to face Region D. oldfool and BigWinners 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersen is a much better passer in accuracy, however he lacks the ability to scramble . LB gets killed on pass plays thats a major weakness for them. If appo can get D line and O line back we have a good to excellent shot at beating LB . BoBob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union did have some big returns on special teams against Burton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
