Rod Johnson 95 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm really surprised that anyone still runs the Jet Sweep now that the Pop Pass on the motion has been in vogue. The removal of a potential fumble is too big to ignore, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm really surprised that anyone still runs the Jet Sweep now that the Pop Pass on the motion has been in vogue. The removal of a potential fumble is too big to ignore, in my opinion. Yes, people still run the jet sweep and you just made my point. If the jet sweep is executed correctly, as with any play, the chances of a fumble are greatly diminished. Deception is also key, as there are a multitude of counter plays off of the jet sweep. The key to this play is execution. In order to effectively run this play, coaches must be committed to practicing and perfecting it. This is not a play that you run three or four times a day in practice, it takes an entire session in practice to make this a viable part of the offense.

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I joked 20 years ago that Appy and PV should be called Apple Valley High, and we could have been the "Fighting Orchards". Our mascot would be a guy dressed in a foam tree and he could throw "apples" at the visiting players and fans. :) Lame, I know, but just close your eyes and visualize it. You'll start to smile! haha... Tried it - got visions of a cute girl, a little dog & a scarecrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 The country is Leb a NON. The Russell County town, and others, are pronounced Leb a NUN. Personally, I'm a fan of the Lebanese People's Republic of Russell County Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 You mean it isn't pronounced Key-cough-tan??? That is EXACTLY how I pronounced it when I first said it. Nope, it is "Kick-a-tan" It really is sad that my sarcasm doesn't come through in some of my posts...I'm a master of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I agree Winners, Union is the best of the Wise county names. I like the Union colors because like you said it ties in w PV/Appy. Centrals colors work well because of the connection to Pound(mostly black w some red) and JJK(mostly red w some black). I did hear a disgruntled Coeburn supporter with ties to PV say that it was unfair because "Wise got to keep their mascot", which is dumb. Eastsides are a swing and a miss imo. Hunter green with Black??? They have silver in there too but don't use it. Spartans is a great mascot but Eastside is a terrible name, sounds like some generic name from a B movie. Union_Fan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musselman_High_School Actually a really cool story imo Musselman won the WV AA Championship in 1995 as the #16 seed...beat #3-Bluefield in the Championship game 17-13.

Hotrod 5 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Loved the old Powell Valley blue but it now looks really stupid beside the orange and navy. Dang thats sharp!!

Plywood_King 517 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The Northwood Painters, Chil-hoe-ie, Sm-eye-th County, Why-th County, Rule Ruh-treet, Fort Chisel or Fort Chiswull, the Muriun Scarlet Hurrikins, and Glade Sprangs. Also, out of fairness, Paul Johnson calls his offense a "spread." However, I have no idea why the general populace of sportscasters can't understand that the triple option is a play, not an offensive philosophy. It's like calling an offset I-formation the "lead dive offense." BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like calling an offset I-formation the "lead dive offense." Ive heard coaches who run what GT and Navy do call it the Spread Option, spread as in the Ends are spread out(SEs instead of TEs) and the backs are spread out(Slotbacks instead of Halfbacks). Option because they run Triple Option plays. Considering the offense evolved from the Option heavy Wishbone this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West12aaa 99 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 If you know anything about Lee Co. politics you know this won't happen,actually if you know anything about Lee Co politics, you'll know a new regime is in. It will mainly effect tw, while Lee high will remain untouched due to stability from the election (incumbent ty harber eon) so yes this could happen, but not for some time. 5-10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the folks in the lower (western) end want a separate TW, it will stay that way. BTW, in my experience in SWVA, saying something could happen in 5-10 years usually means it probably will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
