Both teams enter the game 0-1. Graham is visiting.

Who gets their first win? Predicted score?

Versailles 56-0.

No joke. Don't let their Week 1 loss fool you, they return a plethora of talent.

Good luck to the Falcons though!

Graham played awesome! Barely missing out on the win, only losing 40-7 to Versailles.

Congratulations Graham, hopefully this positive momentum carries over to the next game.

What happened to graham? I guess I havent paid much attention the last few years but when I was in school they were decent anyways.

When were you in school? Like around 1989 or 1990?
Better yet define "decent" in your mind.......?

So far this season Graham opponents have scored over 100 points, while the Falcons have scored 14.
Graham is making progress, they lost the second game by third less points than the first.
Hoping the gridiron falcons keep it within three td's in their next game.

Pretty sure 1991 is Graham's only ever state playoff win in football. They may have made the playoffs once or twice since then but pretty sure they lost their first game.

One football playoff victory in nearly 30 years. :huh:

Damn that is rough. I played softball with a lot of guys from that time. Graham had some pretty good athletes is soccer killing football there?

No, football killed itself at Graham when they got rid of their best coach ever in the early 90's. Most likely some of the homers even blame the wrestling team.

Graham has produced maybe a half dozen or so college capable football players in the past 30'ish years?


I saw on the schedule Graham plays Butler. Is that Vandalia Butler? Dear lord, looks like the former AD Mr. Cupps set up a schedule to really dog-pile it on Graham this season.

Still staying optimistic and believe Graham wins at least one game this season.

Wow that is not good lol. I am hoping Mechanicsburg will eventually get back to what it was during the early 2000s. Its been rough watching them the last few years.

Graham is full of athletes. Get those wrestlers out on the football team and you have a CBC Champion, playoff contending caliber team. It won't happen though.

Usually you get 1 or 2 great, college level athletes on the field each year. But the rest? Those are the guys would can't make the wrestling teams. I hope someone can turn it around in St. Paris.

Majority of the best Graham wrestlers are below the 160 lb weight class. They would not make great football players. The occasional good larger wrestler who didn't play football went on to receive a college scholarship in wrestling. Logan White was a lot better wrestler than football player but he loved football the most.

I question the one or two a year being great college college level football players. No other conference in Ohio produces more 6ft 160 pound white kids than the CBC.

Wish more Graham kids would think about how cool it would be to get part of college paid for by becoming good runners, instead of looking "cool" being outscored this season 123-14 on the football field.
Theirs a kid on the Graham football team that weighs less than 140 pounds. Give me an effing break. Stupid.

Butler was up 21-0 in the 1st qtr tonight when the game was called because of lightning.
Graham conceded the win.
