V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Even though they lost Friday night, the Central Warriors silenced a ton of critics by hanging in there with Honaker. Are the Warriors bound for their second playoff game in school history? Or will the incredibly imposing October schedule sink their ship? They have a great chance of going into the Oct 17 game in Big Stone at 6-1. Similarly, I firmly believe that Northwood (yes, that Northwood) has a good chance to go 9-1 and possibly even 10-0, thanks to an incredibly weak Hogo. The only team that could really stand in their way is George Wythe (and possibly Rural Retreat) and it's well-known that the Maroons have yet to bounce back since winning State. Either way, we could have shades of 2003 in Saltville Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Agree on both. I think most people in this area knew Central could be solid with the right leadership but their start and showing against Honaker is much better than I would have believed. Idk much about Northwood but they are undefeated and have a really nice win over Marion. I would throw Twin Valley into ther mix too. Obviously NW is better(it was proven on the field) But TV is having a nice season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Central is a surprise. I didn't expect a 3-1 start for them. I see 5-5 for them. They might even beat Clintwood and end up 6-4, a major improvement from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Tazewell's the only reasonable choice for this, unless you're talking about being "surprising" in a bad way, which would be Grundy in equally convincing fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Surprising in a "bad way" might include John I. Burton. I didn't expect an 0-4 start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I wouldn't rule out PH giving NW all they can handle as well. Good QB and a RB that is showing up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvtne216 278 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was very surprised with the 3-0 start by the Twin Valley Panthers, now sitting at 3-1, I sadly see them about to drop to 3-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that now. Anyone that went through all the torture of games the past few years saw this coming. I said after Chilhowie last year we were going to be a force this year.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 3-2 after this Friday, probably/maybe 5-2 when they play Haysi. I could see TV at 7-3 maybe 8-2 at the end of the season and hosting a playoff game. Unless im mistaken that would be a 1st for the program. I think most people expected Tazewell to be pretty good this season. I would say its a slight surprise that they are as good as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all knew Tazewell was going to have a good year. They were a breakout team, but not a surprising team Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro 113 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 In a good way: Central, even though they haven't played a good team yet. In a bad way: Richlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 In a good way: Central, even though they haven't played a good team yet. In a bad way: Richlands You wanna explain that one? We are about 4 plays from being 4-0. And we've beaten a 3A team who everyone picked to destroy us. How are we a bad surprise? Unless of course you meant you were hoping we would be 2-8 and we won't be so that's bad for you? Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unchained 587 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Haven't played a good team yet? I'd think that unbeaten and perennial power Honaker would qualify as a good team fastpitch7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes Honaker is a very good football team and they work very hard to be a great football team. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central may not have BEATEN a good team but they have played a good team which sounded close. Richlands isn't bad. They were favored against Union and until the last few seconds, had us beat.

rjhall71 61 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Being from the Northwood Class of 89 I am glad to see my Panthers winning I just hate that the man who put all his work into this bunch of young men is getting no credit. Mark Frye has led these guys from middle school on as their Coach but stepped down before the season. Tommy Prater may be getting all the credit as the Head Coach but the reason they are winning is because of Mark Frye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy 72 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I am a Northwood fan and I like Frye, but I think that Frye stepping down was one of the best decisions he made. He is a fine Middle school coach but does not have the drive or killer instinct to be a high school coach. I also believe not having a Prater Playing is helping the "TEAM" also nothing against the Prater's they are all great athletes, the past couple of years you knew where the ball was going and to who, that is why I think Frye doesn't have it in him to be a high school head coach.

rjhall71 61 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I can't disagree with that. All I was saying is that Tommy doesn't deserve all the credit here like a lot of people are giving him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
