I hope Graham wins the State Title !Then it will time for Snake and Ronnie to come home .

I highly doubt either of them will return to Richlands. Snake lives close to Bluefield, VA and his daughter goes to GIS and his wife works in Bland County. I don't see them relocating back to the western end of the county with 100% certainty. I do agree that I hope Graham wins the state title! Ring #4 for Snake if that happens!Ā

Negative. Richlands had their chance with them. They have a new home now. Snake and Ronnie are here to stay!

I think both are very satisfied where they are and have been accepted with open arms by the Graham family,Ā  coaches, players, parents, and faculty/staff at GHS. They aren't going anywhere. They have found their home with Graham.Ā

Iā€™m not sure Iā€™d even take an occasional deep shot if accuracy is a problem ifĀ Bradshaw is anywhere in the vicinity. Heā€™s liable to end up with a pick six.Ā 

Claiborne doesn't need much room to break a long run, he is very shifty and makes quick cuts.Ā  He can change direction on a dime and hits the hole with a lot of speed.Ā  They have another quick back and the QB is athletic and runs the ball very well.Ā  They do throw bubble screens and quick hitches that sometimes go for big yardage (of course Ive been watching hudl hilights).Ā  The lineplay is what I have been trying to watch the most.Ā  I think Graham can match the athleticism, but Grahams line looks better on both sides of the ball.Ā  As mentioned before, KW has a big line, but they appear a little bit slower and not as aggressive as Grahams line.Ā  But thats on video, so it may be different to see them in person.Ā  Good size on the line however for them.

I hope Blevins will be ready to go Saturday.Ā 

Iā€™d say heā€™ll be the same as the past two games. I donā€™t see him on D at all again and limited on O unless he experiences a miraculous healing of some sort. Heā€™s as tough as they come & plays with such heart. I hate he got injured.Ā

Watched film on KW and they have some huge lineman, and their running back and quarterback have decent speed.Ā  Grahams defense will have to come to play especially the linebackers.Ā  As to their passing game, what I saw was the receivers out running the defense and the quarterback lobing the ball deep with the receiver running it down.Ā  Don't think they will pull this off with Bradshaw out there, but the game will come down to the wire IMO.Ā  I think Graham pulls this one out and comes back to SWVA with the hardware. Gmen 35----KW 28

KW running back looks to be the real deal. If the G-Men don't stay disciplined Claiborne will house it every time. KW seems to like the stretch plays off tackle and outside pitch. Graham will have to play lights out if they want to win this one.Ā Ā Ā

KW rb is bad news. Explosive speed. Best running back Graham will have played.Ā  Has had some disciplinary issues. Set out first half of Goochland and another game.Ā 

Graham's LB's will have to play very disciplined. Claiborne gets to the second or third level he will break them.Ā Ā

Not having Zach out there on defense hurts just as much if not more than offense. @Gridiron60Ā mentioned Gage too. Both of them were vital to our defense. For this team to continue to win the way they have is quite impressive. Kudos to the coaches for getting the next man up ready to go.

No matter the outcome on Saturday Zach Blevins has proven he's much of a man in my book.

One more game to go. No reason to let off the gas now. FINISH!

Bingo! In my 39Ā years here I have become immune as well as Salem deaf! šŸ™ˆšŸ™‰šŸ™Š

I worked with a guy from Salem when I lived down there that was the most obnoxious Salem fan in the world. Which was funny considering he was from Princeton, WV. He'd get so pissed at me because I refused to call them the "Salem Spartans."Ā  I would always call them the "Roanoke Valley Spartans."
