Graham 21 Union 0 Final

Graham's 13 and 0 and given up 75 points for an average of 5.79 points per game, but even that is misleading. Very misleading. Probably 40 of those 75 are against their 2nd team and JV after the game is long out of reach. The true average for their first team defense is giving up about 35 points total this year and that average would be closer to just under 3 points per game.
Offensively, Graham can also quickly go to the pass when the run isn't working. I think Grahams offense is far better than most realize. Every opponent Graham plays is playing "kill the clock." They are going slow and not snapping the ball until the play clock is under 10 seconds and thus shortening the game in an attempt to limit Grahams offensive possessions and hopefully have it close in the 4th quarter. Even against Union, Graham can be hindered offensively and the game shortened and boom, one play and Graham strikes because the speed and athleticism is still there, even on offense.

Bluefield , Galax, Wythe , Tazewell , Va high , Union .. that’s 6 ! Pulaski only got a field goal, Richlands and Lee only scored on backups .. counting can be tough for journalists lol
Richlands was leading Graham in the first quarter of that game…. Strange but true.
Technically, Richlands scored a field goal in the first quarter but that was it until the backups were in & they scored a TD. It’s true though the majority of points in the games have been scored against the backups.
Virginia High the first time was all on the first team, Marion was all on the first team, Graham was only winning that game by one score at halftime, Lebanon was all on the first team. I didn’t see Richlands. I know Lee’s 14 was all on backups late in the game.
Va High scored 14, six of which were on a perfect bounce of a fumble on a kickoff return. A total fluke. Lebanon and Marion's points were legit.
