Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 The Beavers and G-Men are finally playing a regular series home and home again. They are scheduled to open the season against one another on December 16th, but that game may be pushed back to later in the season. Graham has 10 of its 12 varsity players on the football team and if Graham wins next weekend they'll be playing for the Va. state title on Dec. 13th. Regardless, I think the game should be pushed back to make for a better match up later in the season when the teams are in basketball shape and mind set...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 yeah i agree with you, they should give the kids playing football time to get everything wrapped up then shift focus to basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 The VHSL requires so much practice time for each sport before they are allowed to participate in a regular season game. I wouldn't expect Graham to play a game before Christmas break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 They will play twice this year, once at Bluefield and once at Graham Middle. I got my hands on a schedule that they gave the Bluefield players and it already has the Graham game at home being pushed back to Feb.

strapiton 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 when was the last year they played a regular season game, and why did they quit playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenfootball 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think there was some sort of fight years ago after one of the games,I think they last played sometime in the 80's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 The yearly series was cancelled after a huge fight in the late 1980s between the schools. From what I understand a Graham player fouled Bluefield's best player very hard on a breakaway play and everything broke down from there. While the teams haven't played a regular season series since that time, the two have met twice in the Princeton Holiday Tournament in recent years...
