That's why I said "possibilities". It's a possibility that at UVA-Wise, Clements could maybe add 10-20 pounds to his frame over a couple of years, and if he performs well, move up to an FCS or Group of 5 school. Of course, it's also a possibility that he won't be able to get on the field at Wise, or anywhere else.

I'm talking about the portal providing opportunities for guys like Clements, who didn't have what the FBS or FCS schools were looking for at this time, to develop their bodies and game, and like the kid at Mizzuruh, climb the ladder.

Absolutely. I pointed out earlier that Mizzuruh's 1st team AA RB was at DII Truman St before he moved up. With the portal, the possibilities are endless.

He was on the roster, anyway. https://virginiasports.com/player/gabe-sneed/

Yeah, I understand the portal and COVID year, but I was wondering why if he had those offers, he didn't sign? If the FBS offers aren't really committable (I can't imagine the Navy & Army offers not being committable), then he shouldn't hesitate to go with an FCS or DII program and try to work his way up. Mizzuruh's 1st team AA RB came to Mizzuruh from DII Truman State. That was a rags-to-riches story if there ever has been. While Clements may be lacking something or some things that would make most FBS schools hesitate, it'd be a travesty if he didn't go somewhere and get his start.

Interesting that Clements hasn't signed. Is he maybe waiting for a better offer and sign in February, or maybe go the JUCO or prep school route? I'd guess he also has FCS and DII offers as well.

Safe travels! We'll be going back home in 13 more days. It's been great to see family and friends, but I miss having my toes in the sand. 🌴😎🌴

Like the Union name, but the Bears? Should've been more creative than that. I have to say that I don't actually hate any of the high schools though. Even though our grandson recently played for Dobyns-Bennett, their fans can be a little overbearing when it comes to talking about their record over the years and all of their state "championships" none of which were won under a playoff format. They also used to talk about their dominance over Science Hill, but not that the tables have turned, they make fun of it being Science Hill's Super Bowl. I also took a little smug satisfaction with Vero Beach and their band of mercenaries failing to advance past the 2nd round this year. They reeled in 7 John Carroll (here in Fort Pierce) starters, including 2 four star players, and turning Carroll from a state title contender in their division to a team that failed to make the playoffs. Vero also had 7 other transfers from other teams, giving them 14 starters who weren't in the program before. Did that cause a rift with the other players? I'll go out on a limb and say yes.

The Phoebus v Salem ending was incredible. Between the FHSAA and VHSL, I've gotten my fill and it's not over yet.

The NFHS camera at Honaker is atrocious.

Anderson Co (TN) has a great entrance too, with a great fireworks show and dry ice as the team comes out of a fieldhouse that has a facade like a barn and while the sound of a cattle stampede plays over the PA. Their habit of the recording of a cow mooing over the PA before a big 3rd down is a little cheesy though.

Bradford 22 Pensacola Catholic 21 Final in OT I have a friend on the staff at PC. That was a tough loss on the road to an undefeated Bradford team. PC had a 14-0 lead and an opportunity to add to it at the end of the half, but couldn't get it done. Bradford scored on a 4th and goal in the last minute to get it to OT, and then made a 2 point PAT in the OT for the win. Bradford advances to the finals against Cocoa in Tallahassee. Bradford is 14-0 and a really good team, but playing Cocoa is like trying to climb Mt Everest in tennis shoes and without the aid of a sherpa. The Tigers are as good as anyone in the state regardless of classification.

As some of you know, I live in south Florida and take in a ton of games (28 this season) due to games on Thursdays and Fridays because of shared stadiums and referee shortages. This year, I saw 32 different teams, and while all but 5 of those teams would solidly thump or mercy rule Graham and Union, there are NONE of those teams who play with the passion those kids played with today, and there is NO place down there that is in the same universe in terms of game atmosphere as what I saw today. I wish I had a video of it to show those people.

And high school officials at that, who aren't paid nearly enough to listen to some of the crap that they do.

Any idea why they took Clements out with the ball on the 11?

Which site sells the mobile tickets for the Greeneville game? We're back in Kingsport and hope to go there on Friday and to BSG on Saturday. For that matter, who sells the VHSL tickets?

How has the big Lawson kid looked for The Cove?
