Union's D also held Richlands to the fewest points in a game for them in something like 2 or 3 years. Unions D also held Lebanon to 0 points, thats more than Honaker did in their win over lebanon or Grundy for that matter. With Richlands, well gatecity didnt do that, Grahm didnt do that.
Seems to me that yeah Union has one solid Defense Line and Back

8/22/08 Gatecity held Richlands to 14. 9/5/08 powell Valley held them to 7. 9/26/08 Tazwell held them to 14. 10/23/08 Carrol Co held them to 23. Last season nobody held Richlands under 31 points untill the state game in which richlands scored 23 (one less than what Union held them to). So as I said Union held richlands to 24 points, despite 5 teams out of 31 games, union has held Richlands lower than anyone else in TWO or THREE seasons.
I missed one Brooksvill held Richlands to 0 on 11/29/08. So 6 Times in 31 Games is all that Richlands has ben hled lower than what union held them two weeks ago.
So they did what 20% of other teams have done when they didn't have their best player?

This season Johnson onl played 5 minutes against Gate City and they didnt hold the rest of em to under 24 points did they. Johnson played 2 or three series at running back against Union and all the game at linebacker. Looks to me that I am correct sir. Does it kil you that you are not correct in this? sure seems like that to me sir. And as far as that goes, Lee (which what this post is about) is alot better than people have given them credit for.
Actually Johnson was a huge reason for 14 of the 31 points scored on Gate City. So without Johnson Richlands put up 17 points. 7 of those points was in the final minute when GC turned over on downs deep in their own territory. Yes Union gave Richlands a heck of a game but you cant say your defensive line is the best in the area in x amount of years. If you want to campare Ds tell me how many teams held Richlands to just 3 points by halftime last season? There was one but that does not mean much to me. The year before that GC beat Richlands and held Richlands to their lowest score I think that year. Not because they had the better Defense of all the teams that played them but because they had a good ball grinding Offense that kept Richlands O off the field. I guess what I am saying is there is more to holding teams to few points than just the deffense. Just like the GC team this year. They have a pretty good D though it dont look like it due to all the points scored on them. Their D has been on the field for 3/4 of the first 3 games because the O could not move the ball enough to rest the D. BTW I am using GC as an example because I know more about them. Not trying to say they are any better or better than Union. In my opinion if that game was to be played now Union wins. Just hope GC can do some major growing before that game.
oh and one more thing 20% of teams is putting Unoin's in the top just as i suggested prick
