I watched Tazewell’s. It was right after halftime losing around 17-0.

Kind of makes sense to do that if you’re trying to win, right?

Doing it up 30 in the 4th is just, well…

But anyways, it made me laugh. As chippy as it was I would think you would want to get out of there. Not give Tazewell more reason to be upset lol

Yes, I was joking. I have no idea why they did it at that point. Was it the back up kicker though? Could be just giving him practice kicking one & seeing if they could recover it. 😂

Flip side of this game is Warwick showing up and not backing down. Do they have anything to potentially give Maury a game?

Click to expand...

No. They might not even make it past Granby/Kings Fork. It’s the same thing with them every year: talk nonstop offseason about beating Phoebus (not winning a state title) and dominant all the lesser teams then lose to Phoebus and go to playoffs win a couple games and get beat in the playoffs. Literally happened 3 years in a row…well playoffs part to be determined.

Appreciate people like you giving fact based opinions.

I watched some of the Graham game last night while switching back and forth between others.

Their offense didn’t seem to have that home run hitter like they always have.

On another note, a funny one, as soon as I started watching at one point I saw Graham kick a successful onside kick. Don’t remember the exactly when it was.. either late 3rd or early 4th, but they were up at least 30+ at the time LOL

Graham struggled with Union, a short handed V High team and Lebanon. Everybody else on the schedule were cupcakes. I'm not going to sugar coat anything. Graham's offense struggles against quality opponents and it will end up being their downfall Sure those stats look good, but when you look at who they have played and factor in over 100 yards in penalties per gamei, t's not nearly as impressive. Defensively, they are better then last season. Offensively, last year, they were much better

Honest question - are chop blocks against the rules with the VHSL?

I assume you are calling a chop block what we used to call it.. basically just diving at the legs below the knees.

Or are you saying something different happened?

Click to expand...

I don't recall seeing chop blocking. I need to go back and watch the film, but that's been taken down

Orange County is a good team. I’ve heard they’ve got some quick and skilled players. May be a tough task though in the first round of the 4D playoffs assuming they get a 6, 7, or 8 seed. I could see them upsetting someone though

Two great kids. Love to see them doing well

Not bad for true freshman in SEC

Should be a good game. I give Dinwiddie the edge. Especially with the game being at Dinwiddie. Good luck DinwiddieProud!

He also had the tazewell kids chop block all night going at the knees of our defensive line. Shouldn't expect a little league Coach that graduated to the high school level to have any class.

If will be tough for Graham to past Union with that kind of lack of discipline. Graham's A game is better than any team in Class 2. But their offense is not good enough to overcome discipline issues 3 times in a row in games 3, 4, and 5 of the playoffs. They will get caught on of those games if they play with lack of discipline and turnover inside there own territory deep. I understand Graham has been solid at not turning over deep inside their own territory. If they have a game in games 3, 4 or 5 where the discipline issues show up and they have 1 or 2 deep turnovers in their territory leading to an easy 10 or 14 points for the opponent, they will caught.

If Graham fixes the penalty problems and doesn't turn over deep in their own territory, they will go 15 and 0. Defense is too good for any Class 2 team to go down the field consistently for 3 sustained drives. Maybe 2, but not 3 in one game.

I agree with your assessment. I think that Graham's defense is fantastic. If there's a better defense in 2A, I'd love to see it. However, the offense is inconsistent and the amount of penalties is flat out ludicrous. That will be their downfall

Cbiskit04 said:

The real story is how bad and unprepared Tazewell looked .. they decided to huddle instead of signaling and had numerous delay of game penalties. They prob spent the week looking for ways to get Graham players kicked out instead of actually preparing for football .. they have ZERO running game and way too many random formations ,, kids couldn’t get lined up. Yes the penalties were bad but a bunch of it was phantom flags back and forth flopping .

Click to expand...

I agree. They seemed disorganized for the 9th game of the season. They run out of the shotgun all the time and I think they were trying to run the play clock down quite a bit to play keep away. I can't wrap my head around what Tazewell is trying to do when I watch them play. I just assume they like to throw the ball and it is very hard to run out of the shotgun

The Tazewell Bulldog Netwoek said in their broadcast a Tazewell player was ejected and wouldn’t play next week. Maybe they were mistaken.

Maybe you're right. I was at the game and didn't see anybody get ejected But there was a lot going on during that time .

Peyton Lewis scored for Tenn. and Chris Cole very good game on defense for Georgia both true freshman.

Click to expand...

Lewis 8 carries for 24 yds and the Vols lone TD so far. Cole has had back to back solid games for the Dawgs against Texas and today against the Gators. I think he ended up with 3 tackles and 1 assist today. Good for both of them.

It certainly should be a good game, but I tend to favor Lafayette. But only by a point or so.
I hope the fans will turn out. A game of two 9-0 teams deserves good crowd support.

Click to expand...

It’s a Thursday night game so the crowd size will be unpredictable. It was hoped the Friday night game between Warhill at 0-9 Jamestown would switch but no such accommodation happened. Let me say now, these stadiums shared by multiple schools are a real pain in scheduling.

Hadn't heard..........................................................................................................................................................

How do we get mod approval or disapproval to post? A few of my posts say waiting for approval, but I have had one go through. Just checking.
