Graham vs Strasburg

Thanks for sharing. He is obviously a great leader to the program, plus being from there lends extra credibility. He rightfully deserves the credit. 
I will add that probably one of his greatest strengths is surrounding himself with good people. I know much like Mance, there are some excellent coaches on staff. 
Does he have the same gravitational pull with assistants and supporters as the program does with kids who transfer? I think this might be an overlooked aspect, and while recruiting coaches is allowed and likely has been done, I think it helps that people want to be part of a winning program. I’m sure some are parents, but maybe the number of kids playing and hometown love ensure that the staff stays mostly intact instead of gone in a flash as is the norm nowadays. 
 

It seems like I’m either always criticizing or effusively praising Graham and others, and believe what I post is valid; however, my analytical nature is fascinated by not just how football and other sports teach values to kids, but can teach lessons to us adults. It’s nice to see a blueprint in front of us as a microcosm of how families, businesses, nations, etc can come together to be successful. In this case, a strong leader (T. Palmer) inspires and unites (coaches, players, community) to come together for a common cause (championship) using the resources available (talent in the local and surrounding areas) to be successful. 
 

 

Nice!

Best wishes to the Graham G-men as they take on Strasburg.  You have the talent, the experience and a good group of coaches.  Get it done between the stripes to the end zone.  

Will this game be shown on NFHS?

Nice write up about Graham’s defense. Those young men are tough! GMen have a great defensive staff. I hope they hold Strasburg offense in check.

The government will probably shoot them down. Feds don’t mind to go to war with the GMen. 😂😂😂

Brady & Ryan did a great job with the football show they used to do too.
