Gretna @ Union
- Thread starter Hampton Roads 6
- Start date
The way Union has been playing, or bad play calling, (just what I heard) it wouldn't surprise me if its a bit close. But if Union plays like they are capable of playing I would guess 42-14 Union.
Any chance Gretna will play on Saturday or are the rocket scientist in charge at Gretna still wanting to play on friday night...........
Here's to hoping if Richlands and Buckingham win, BC makes the same choice so I don't have to pick between the playoff game and Beamers last home game
Thats what we have at gretna,in the A.D. and the principal. No common sense what so ever and neither one of them could probably tell a football from a soccer ball..........
Was he drunk? Richlands and Union are head and shoulders above the rest of the field in my opinion.
Would love to see somebody knock them off, because if Graham could get by James River, then Union would be up next..
That would be awesome. I would love to see that matchup also.
I hope they can both make that happen. You never know what can happen in the playoffs.

I would love to see a Graham and Gretna game happen but I think Union at home is just to much for Gretna this year but you never know. Union hasnt been tested much this season. I think a great start by Gretna is a must. If Gretna doesnt have good athletic dbs it will probably be a very long night for them. Unions recievers are tall, fast and athletic. You just have to see them in person to realize how good they are. Union is known for coming out flat and just playing up to the level of their competition. So they are beatable but nobody has been good enough this season yet.
I disagre with the Union not being tested this season. They have played a lot larger schools, and beat some very good teams like Richlands (#4 seed, likely #2 at worst if they had won), David Crockett (not great, but much larger enrollment than Union), Letcher County Central, and three other 2A playoff teams, Wise (9-seed), Ridgeview, and Lee. Its not been constant tests every week, but its much harder to schedule great teams with Union's location. Richlands may even be the best team in 2A, and Union pulled out a tough win without one of their best players.
Every team is beatable, including Appomattox, Glenvar, Buckingham, etc... but I think if Union plays like they are capable, they will win. But thats a big if. Union does play down to its competition, but they also play up to their competition as well. They really only played two horrible teams all year, Battle and Eastside. Even the 1A team they opened with, JI Burton, only lost once all year to Union (by almost 50 points) but finished 9-1 and is near the top of the 1A West standings.
I think its a close, competitive game but if Union comes out playing at a high level and does not allow a kickoff return TD or turn the ball over, I like the Bears chances. Should be a great contest and IIRC its the first time Gretna has played Union (or PV/Appalachia for that matter).
Union has definitely been tested. Don't make the mistake of thinking otherwise.
Union rolls, the starters were out in the third quarter.
Union-42
Gretna-7
Union-42
Gretna-7
Union looked good tonight, both throwing ball and running ball. Their WRs are best I have seen. Defense for Gretna could not get a stop in first half.
