LOL, I love the ole playing to the crowd fallacy in "We" all know. Stormwatcher, you don't speak for the board, especially with one title since 2004. My friend, you are just not taken seriously with one title. Maybe in Tazewell County, but across the state, you are seen as....."if we can make it through game 3, and then crossover in game 4, or even play somebody formidable in game 4, and play Richlands in the title game, we got it." I mean....I know this bothers you, and no question, you are viewed as a solid program, but across the state, not a major, major threat to win the whole thing. You are viewed as a program that will get there and go far, but comes up short. That was Puquoson's mentality years ago. When it got out of the region and then won that semi-final game, the Bull Islanders knew they had a chance because your team has not, will not, and does not have the athletes and speed of for example, a team like Appo, and they knew the game should be kept close until the 4th, and then see what happens. Appo knew it had a state title the minute it won game 4. Again, we can do this for days or weeks or months, but you attacked me.....and I am finishing, and will respond each time with how many titles you have won if you want to take it to this level.
Again, no need for playing to the audience and the "we" statements. You don't speak for the board nor was elected "board rep". You represent a one time since 2004 state champion and all of the 10-0's, 9-1's, game 13's, game 14's, and recently, game 15's appearances still has one common problem that bothers you....and that is....1 state title since being relevant. One more thing of common knowledge regarding Union. I think you hate Union less than you do your county rival Graham. I know the kind of person you are. It's obvious. This is why, you make the statements, "I fear Union less than Graham." Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but the fact is, you hate Union LESS than you do Graham because Graham has owned you as a program up until 2004. This is why you speak up when someone picks Graham.
I've talked to many fans in your area and the perception still is....Richlands has really risen up since 2004 and they are one heck of a program, but they only get far and usually are not going to win it, and Graham is one coach away from being back to old form and dominating the county like it always did because it has better athletes and the talent is there. <-----That statement bothers you, but its the sentiment in the area and county I have got to many times when discussing SWVA football on Saturdays in Blacksburg. It's also the reason....I pick Graham to beat you, and if Graham does make it to the state-semi's, look for them to be a real threat to win it. I will take my chances with them out of SWVA before Richlands. Sorry, but I have seen that build up and "windblow" to many times to be fooled.
