Graham (9-2) vs Seminole (5-6) @ Graham 7:00 pm

[Rattler]

Area Championship!

[Razorback88]

Graham by 50+ Seminoles not very good.:cool:

[BwdLion73]

At Graham? Did they flip home and home?

[Rattler]

At Graham? Did they flip home and home?

Yes.

[hollywood]

Just curious... How did the flip home and home come about? Did y'all flip for a home and home flip opportunity?

[Rattler]

Word is that no stadium was available, and both coaches agreed to a flip for home game.

[garciap77]

Graham Steers!!!!!

[JVDAD]

Just curious... How did the flip home and home come about? Did y'all flip for a home and home flip opportunity?

Just how does that work??? I had always heard that they both had to agree on a neutral site and that if either coach wanted to flip for Home and Home, they automatically flipped H &H.

[slingshot]

Graham by a bunch... then the real fun begins!

[briandumith*]

Just how does that work??? I had always heard that they both had to agree on a neutral site and that if either coach wanted to flip for Home and Home, they automatically flipped H &H.

they could not find a site.......So both coaches agreed to flip h n h..and Graham won the flip

[JVDAD]

they could not find a site.......So both coaches agreed to flip h n h..and Graham won the flip

Is that the only circumstance in which they go home and home? What if one wants neutral and one wants home and home.

Abilene High plays at home in the Playoffs more than any team I have seen..........

they have to try to find a SUITABLE site....but if they both agree .... This is all up to both Staffs... Only the S.C. is set in stone and that has only been in the last four years...

[JVDAD]

What is S.C ?

[Rattler]

what is s.c ?

state championship

[JVDAD]

Oh Duh...wasn't looking quite that far ahead.... :-) Thanks

[briandumith*]

ok..FYI.. To anyone who has season pass seats..You will still have your seats..but you will still have to purchase a ticket beforehand... You get your tickets at the Abmin building all week or at the booth on game night.... Gates will open at 5:00pm..

[regaleagle]

Sounds like Graham has everything in their pocket on this one. A "home" game in Round 2....geez! I don't understand how any coaching staff would agree to that at such a distance between these schools. Now if both teams were located in the same city.....perhaps. But really not even then....cities have plenty of venues for playoff games. And that's just the point....surely there could be a time and date scheduled for this game at a neutral site at one of the many venues that could sponsor these sized fanbases in their stadium. I just don't get it. Maybe Graham supplied the coin, haha.

Supplied all the coin! We're even going to feed them rib-eyes after the game! Lol

Didn't think about this until Bear replied, but he is spot on. Very similar to Argyle/Graham last year. 10 minutes from Argyles house. With all the Graham traffic, this will be 10 minutes from my house!

[finalid69]

Seminole had a really rough start early in the season due to injuries. The Indians have really improved. Good luck to everyone!!

If I remember correctly, Sweetwater hosted a playoff game against Graham while Jackson was HC at Sweetwater. Believe the team Sweetwater knocked off was undefeated as well. Guess Jackson felt like he owed Graham a return trip, ha!

Abilene plays a bunch of home playoff games because they usually either play lubbock or metroplex schools early in playoffs. Very few stadiums in between those locations could hold 6A games, which leads to home flips. Warren at AHS must be pretty good at calling the toss or winning the zip code game or however they "flip" to determine who is hosting.

Would've had to of been 2001. Sweetwater beat Graham in the bi-district round 30-22 and then lost to
Kennedale the following week 37-42.

[Steer81]

Graham will play anyone anywhere! Don't tell me for a second of any of you had a chance to play a Playoff game at home you would not jump on it! If BOTH coaches agree on something it is what it is. Its a 50/50 shot it just happen to go the way of the Steers. But I can hear it now, they had their own coin on their own field and brought their own refs. No matter what the Steers do there are going to be haters! Go Steers!

[Steernation]

The O-line looks like it has some size on it for seminole!

[Rattler]

Yes it does, #73 - 6'-0" 315lb and #76 - 6'-4" 244. That's some big'O boys in front of my little one. :eek:

[navajo joe]

O-line is big and coach Jackson did a great job this year , new coach , new program , young team did a lot better than I thought we would do.

[navajo joe]

Hey toddg how have you been ,good to hear from you too.

[Steernation]

Yes it does, #73 - 6'-0" 315lb and #76 - 6'-4" 244. That's some big'O boys in front of my little one. :eek:

[toddg]

Hey toddg how have you been ,good to hear from you too.

doing well! got 3 boys coming up the Indian pipeline starting with my oldest, who saw backup duty this past year and looks to be a major contributor next year..so all is great! cant say that for our opponents next year though..:evillol:

[Steernation]

Any news on gonzo? Big Hunter D has handled being thrown in very well i think!

[Deuce]

Graham by 21! Get past this one and the war is on in Region 1!!

[finalid69]

Hey anyone seeing a weather forecast. Looks like 20% chance of rain on Friday. Then 60% chance on Saturday wondering if this rain will move in early??

finalid

[Steernation]

Graham by 21! Get past this one and the war is on in Region 1!!

[Deuce]

Temps in the upper 50's. 15% chance of rain at game time jumping to a 40% chance around 10:00. Hopefully will hit as soon as it's over. We need the rain in a bad way here!

[finalid69]

thanks Deuce

[briandumith*]

Graham is really starting to click on both sides..oh yeah baby....

[hollywood]

thats no joke. R1 is going to be crazy. im seeing a Graham Wylie rematch in the future..

Hope y'all get past Wylie if that match up happens! In which I think it will.

[Steernation]

Hope y'all get past Wylie if that match up happens! In which I think it will.

me too! i hope youre right! I'd like to see a Ville Graham game!

[navajo joe]

Awsome toddg looking forward to hearing about your kids in the future keep me posted on that, in the years to come.

[ccmom]

Hope y'all get past Wylie.


I'm sure you do!!:evillol:

After a Sabraun Adams punt return for a touchdown and a defensive scoop-and-score, the Indians led Fabens 14-0 before their offense even touched the field. Adams, the do-it-all offensive weapon for Seminole, scored in two ways last Friday, hauling in a 38-yard touchdown pass later in the game to along with his 50-yard punt return.

im thinking 50+ to 14 with a large graham win.

Rumor has it that a possible Sweetwater/Vernon and Graham/Wylie matchup would be played
as a double header at Mineral Wells Friday.

Heck yeah. I heard if Graham does play there that our game would start at 2. No idea what time it would be
for the Steers/Bulldogs kickoff. I'm guessing 6 maybe?
