Not to argue but I don’t believe Graham had all their starters in at that point, some starters maybe but they really don’t have that many extra players. They didn’t even have enough to field a JV team. I’m pretty sure it was mostly backups in at that point against Pulaski. A coach really can’t tell kids who rarely get to play much, don’t score on them. I really think both teams had mostly backups in at that point.

I watched this one on NFHS last week. Graham had all starters in on offense except for the runningback and tried to punch it in from the 1 yard line as time ran out in the game. They were up 35-3 I believe at the time. Pulaski stopped them from scoring on the 1.

Wonder what Pulaski did to deserve that? Had to have been Pulaski’s fault, per the @SWDRules method of thinking.

Are you being facetious?

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
I think you’re on the wrong side of this one.

Graham, while wildly successful over the last ten years, would rank in the bottom half of the “class” rankings if you did a blind poll.

I think we all have seen it but Graham folks have done a good job of keeping it contained until this year. I commend their fans who aren’t willing to fall in line and sacrifice integrity.



With that being said, it’s hard to argue with results. If Coach Palmer is okay with his players and coaches acting that way since it obviously isn’t keeping them from winning games, so be it. It’s his program. And I’m sure the results give him a much longer leash.

I was on the 6A board and saw that Cross Bracketing as been approved which means Region A Champ vs Region D Champ and Region B champ vs Region C Champ and the winners will play in the Championship. I couldn't quite tell if that was for all classifications or just Class 6 and 4? It would be nice to see some fresh match ups in 1a State Semifinals. Does anyone know if they are going this route in 1A this year? On the thread in the 6A board it said that 1A was 44 out of 46 in favor of the move.

I’m all for kids transferring to improve their academic and athletic situations. What’s lame as hell with this generation is they try to form superteams. What’s even more lame is these “adults” that call themselves “coaches” were renting vans and taking kids up 95 to workout at Hayfield back when DO got hired and into the summer. Their playoff ban is 100% correct call by the VHSL.

Similar situation happening down in South Carolina with a coach that left a state contender and brought a third of his team with him. The coach left Clinton High School (located halfway between Fayetteville and Wilmington) and ended up at Marlboro County (you more than likely pass through there if you go to Myrtle Beach coming down 220), which is about 100 miles from Clinton. WILD as hell that people find stuff like this legal.

Didn't Graham try to punch another score in at the end of the game last week on the 1 yard line up big? I don't know why so many questions the penalties and discipline issues when the kids are arguing with the coaches from the field.

Yes and I wasn't a fan of them scoring with 2 minutes left on a running clock either. You don't win over fans doing that kind of stuff. The taunting, jawing, unsportsmanlike behavior needs to stop too. That is not the way to win a ballgame. I don't care if the other team was acting like fools too, either. Look at teams like Appomattox and Riverheads, they win or lose with class and that's a reflection of their program.

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

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

Warwick was celebrating with 4 minutes to go as if the Phantoms have not demolished multiple team's hopes, dreams and biggie bag dinner plans with these miraculous 4th quarter comebacks over the years. There's a telling that on cold and windy nights inside Darling Stadium Austin Grebe can still be heard saying, "But I was in....wasn't I in?" No. Austin you were short.
