Graham is 9-1 against Lebanon since May of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The G-Men will venture away from home to take on the Pioneers at 7:00 p.m. Graham is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 4.2 goals per game this season.

Graham will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any goals on Friday, then bounced right back against Richlands on Tuesday. The G-Men put the hurt on the Blue Tornado with a sharp 7-0 win. The final result isn't all the surprising considering Graham's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked 45th, while Richlands are ranked 266th).

Graham's offense was hitting Richlands from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Blake Graham led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.

Meanwhile, after soaring to four goals the game before, Lebanon was a bit more limited in their contest on Tuesday. They fell just short of Marion by a score of 2-1.

Graham is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-2-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 45 goals over those nine games. As for Lebanon, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-3.

Everything went Graham's way against Lebanon in their previous matchup two weeks ago, as Graham made off with a 3-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the G-Men since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
