That website Richrod had Marty's picks. He would give picks for all the games and then they would have links to local media coverage of each game including the websites own coverage. Each team had links to schedules, pictures, regular updates on injuries. I remember always reading about Julius Jones on there and clicking the P. Valley link. While in Texas in pharm school in a portion of the 90's, LPD Forum was my go to for scores in Virginia. They always had em state wide and this was before newspapers like the Bluefield Daily and Bristol Herald came online.
For all former LPD teams/fans, check out that website above for a cool look
Yeh that was a neat looking site. I clicked almost the links. Vhsl helpers site was updated until last yr
I think so but don't quote me on that. Ehen you sent to the website, it listed first all the LPD teams and their stste titles then you click on team names and it gave rosters and team photos. I think it was kind of a precursor to the LPD forum.
Oh dang i dont think I had seen it before.. Is this is?

Any of you all remember the LPD report? I remember going to it in the 90. It had all the LPD teams and would give schedules rosters, etc. I think it went away around 2001ish.
After discussions with R0ck, steer, and Stripes (as well as HostBoard's ownership), we're going to shut down the LPD Forum on HostBoard effective 6/30/12, when it will go into read-only status. On 9/30/12, we will shut it down for good--the board will no longer exist on HostBoard, and no archives will be kept.
Now--I want to say that I welcome some of the remaining membership that wants a message board of some type (Region D coverage, maybe?) to feel free to create another one if they wish. In my opinion, guys like Unchained, Double D, Lung, centennialdawg, Beast, starbuck, etc...would be awesome guys to put their heads together and start up another board if they want. I'm not volunteering them, but that's just my opinion. They've all been here for a LONG time on this board in every permutation, and can keep the spirit of folks who enjoyed this board like Jim, OleTob, and retiredteach alive and kicking in another format elsewhere. I do believe that folks like myself and R0ck (for sure), and maybe steer/Stripes too, probably wouldn't be up for moderating on a new board if one came about. I'll let you all applaud now.Truth is, we're just tired, and with all the changes--it's time to step away for a bit.
Even though it was a headache at times, I've enjoyed being a moderator/admin on this board, and I appreciate R0ck for giving me the opportunity to help out back in I believe it was 2004'ish. I may have rubbed folks the wrong way and made some moderation calls that weren't always popular, but I want to promise you all this, man to man/woman, I always tried to do my best to keep this board running smoothly. I won't speak for the rest of the mods, but I whole-heartedly believe their motivations were the same. I've made some friends/acquaintances on this board that will be life-long, and will never regret that one single bit.
I've never hidden behind my screen name, and most folks know me more by my real name than my ID on here. So...instead of looking up CoeburnCane, if you need something in the future, feel free to hit up Brad Ketron on Facebook. No matter what our posting past may be on here, if there's something I can help you with out in the real world--don't hesitate to contact me.
Please post all final platitudes/comments/screw-you's below...lol...everyone take care. At the risk of sounding corny: Long live the LPD.
They Play in Jenkins? Man that must be quite the experience. Looks like the visitor side has 2 of those bleachers like you see at a little league field
That show went in the crapper when Ben,Mike and Kenny gave it up. I can't even listen to it now.
Yeh that show was great and it would be hard to Follow them guys. I appreciate them stepping up and keeping a show going i just wish they would stick to more high school stuff. Lately i cut it off not much into the program. I looked forward to the old guys as much as i did the games
Please go back to more local sports ie High school football . We can watch GameDay and get all the college news other ways. Keep it more High school football.
Not gonna lie , I never earned that level of manhood either. I did however walk in on them dude's. Like I just got a take a leak in this trough why is this dude taking a dump staring at me. Does everyone in here have a chew in?
It took a real man to sit in the crapper at Carol Dale stadium and do your business making eye contact with everyone that came in. Central hasnt earned this level of manhood
They have numbers within the school right? Watched them a few years ago and thought they could play with anyone- they had a WR that had good size and speed and two really good young LBs- Ol had size and some finish to them, What has happened? I know graduation and coaching changes happens but still alot more than most to recruit from!
To many parents want to be involved at that school they need to stand back and let things happen. Mullins should be a good coach hes had plenty of experience and he should feel pretty comfy since he is a Mccamis by marriage.
