Gridiron60 2,550 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Should be a barn burner! Hope GMen can stop the pass & come out victorious! Can the GMen contain O’Quinn? Stop Beavers? Ridgeview has lots of weapons. I know the coaches will have our boys ready. I want to thank Bluefield for helping us play at home! I would have hated that drive to Clintwood! What do y’all think? How’s this game shake out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado99 341 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I’m taking Graham. A Ridgeview win doesn’t surprise me due to there ability to pass. To be the man, you have to beat the man. Until I see someone in Region D do so, I have to roll with the G-men. Graham 34-Ridgeview 28. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRISH-FAN18 323 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Graham needs to take a page from Grundy's playbook against Lebanon on D and just drop 8 and send the DL. QB will be so through off that it would be really hard to adjust. Graham's LB are pretty athletic so they could catch the QB and backs if they decided to takeoff and get maybe a few yards.

UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) The difference will be coaching. I think the staff at Graham does an amazing schematic job every game. (Except that one time in the spring of 21 at the end of the game 😉) and as we know, the RV folks haven’t been keen on some of their coaching situations. 31-29 Gmen.

You just had to bring that game up , didn’t you? 😂 I was concerned when the GMen came out in those yellow on yellow uniforms today since that spring game was the 1st time we wore them.

Gridiron60 2,550 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Sharing this article where O’Quinn wondered if Graham was working during the summer like him. To answer his question, Graham works year round. 😉 https://heraldcourier.com/sports/pressure-doesnt-faze-ridgeviews-oquinn/article_34f4827c-4f44-11ed-a1a9-e3e6affc9610.html Tony Palmer & company will do everything in their power to prepare the GMen. I’m not saying Graham wins but I know they’ll give it everything they have. Our coaches are very good at making in game adjustments & getting the boys fired up! It’s going to be a long week of waiting for us bleacher coaches, ummmm…I mean fans! Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,056 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 When I make an actual prediction, I have tended to be mostly accurate but I see Graham taking this one without much issue. RV will be hard to run on and don't think you will get the edge on them. Straight up is all you can do and short yard passing. Again don't think you will take a swing pass or pass to the flats anywhere on them. Offensively, I don't see RV moving the ball on them consistently. They will come out and have some initial success but Graham will do what they do and adjust to it. Defensive lines are going to be some of the most aggressive either have seen and it will be a low scoring affair but Graham wins by 3 scores I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I wonder if the G-Men faithful will show up? Was very disappointed and seeing such a low turn out today. Even being down 30 points Gate City’s fan base was still making more noise. I know Mitchell Stadium can make a crowd look small but I don’t think Graham had enough people to fill up a single section today. With nasty weather Saturday it’ll probably sound like a funeral again. The 12th man wins games people! Stop being lazy and sitting at home to watch it online!

Shame on Bluefield Va!!!! NFHS is ruining it. Granted I love getting to watch a lot of games online in my spare time but I’m not going to miss a Giles game just to sit home and watch online unless I’m physically not able to. SWVA use to have some damn good fan bases but times have changed. I hate it for the players especially Graham’s. They’ve played their ass off all season and have won every game. They deserve a loud and proud fan base to be behind them. Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham fans need to show up loud & proud next Saturday. I think in general NFHS has hurt attendance especially on days like today. Thank goodness for an enthusiastic band.

Shame on Bluefield Va!!!! They did that even before NFHS. Few years ago when we played them first round, we had more than they did and someone said that knew it wouldn't be a match so they didn't bother. I knew last week it would be a slim shot we would have at Ridgeview but was going to make it no matter what, we'll since they moved it to Sat I could that is. I've said for years that Graham has the weakest fan support of all the county schools. Tazewell could suck bad and still have more fans than they did in that matchup.

We didn’t have a dog in the fight but me and dad still drove 45 minutes up 460 and watched 3 quarters of the game in the cold while I was wearing shorts. I figured with Graham being up 54-7 that no comeback was going to happen so we left. Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can fill the stadium for the Bluefield game and can’t get two sections full for the playoffs. I don’t miss a game. It’s embarrassing to say the least. Our boys need a big loud crowd next week against a tough Ridgeview team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCAT 10 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I’m probably going to drive there from Big Stone Gap to watch it because I think it’s going to be a really good game. Both have really good teams. Seen both play and not sure who I would give the edge to in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 If a team doesn't win fans don't show up. Now it seems if a program is turned around and they win, then fans become spoiled and don't show up. Hats off the Gate City fans for making the drive and supporting their team today. Good to see some high school fan bases still support their kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
