I just hope he’s held back some offensive stuff and throws some surprises Union’s way. If it comes down like it did the past two games between Union & Graham, I might should stand near the Rescue Squad ambulance to watch because I may have a coronary. Gridiron, the poster T8KN had a good post on potentially why Graham hasn't focused much on the intermediate passing game, and maybe that's the reason. I don't know. If you go back and watch the Graham-Union game from earlier, in the second half, the middle of the field is open. It will be open even more in my opinion in this game. It's a given that Union is going to be playing so far back it won't be funny in an attempt to not get beat long. Maybe the G-Men insert some of those 15 yard curls and sit down routes. If they do that, Union is going to have a long, long day at Mitchell Stadium. Got to hand it to Graham's QB. Bradshaw, Meadows, Clements, and Watkins get a bunch of love and deservingly so, but Graham's QB is a big-bruising type runner with great feet, and he's very durable.

Westisthebest 88 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hoping for a Graham win. Not knowing anything about the other region's teams, i feel Graham is best equipped to go all the way. They are more diverse in what they can do. Always a plus when you have an athlete like Bradshaw. If either team can get ahead like Virginia High did against Union, it will probably not end well for the other team. This game should show who has really improved since the first meeting.

S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 At this point, nobody should be able to survive 14pt deficit within the first 5 min of a game. Stakes too high, only good teams left. 2 different styles but as far as diversity goes, I think Graham and union have things they're great at and things they're not. Against each other, should be another great one. Most games come down to doing the basics well. Ball control, special teams, turnovers, tackling, etc. Won't even mention time management lol. Both got hit late by in the waning seconds with scores to close. Good luck to both, either will do great if they can pull off 2D.

Not a given that Graham or Union will win Region D. I'm sure Central and Ridgeview will have a lot to say about it. Region D has a lot of depth this season. Whoever comes out on top will be battle tested for sure. But I am hoping for Graham to continue to win, it's a short drive to watch some good football.
