At rural retreat

Kicking game usually depends on the what the coaches agree on before the game. Most of the time it’s not live. IMO not a waste of time it’s a great opportunity to find much needed depth without anything on the line. Unless you have 60 plus which is almost unheard of the benefit game is the best look you will get before the real deal. I have seen games in the past where both teams keep their starters in until the end of the game trying to win the dang thing.

Lee scrimmages Cumberland Gap on the 11th and benefit Honaker on the 18th both at home

That is shocking

Turf or grass doesn’t matter to me but actually hash marks would be a great touch

First day you can officially hold practice is the 27th. I know some school like gate city get started at 12:01am of the 27th

Any truth to this? If so that’s a huge hit to the pioneers season

Replacing all five lineman is a high blow in high school. That may be a bigger blow than losing the deep threats

There is a big difference in playing you QB at safety and playing backer. That’s a lot more hits on the guy that runs your offense

That’s true there is just a few cautionary tales especially if you plan on running the QB a lot just look at VA High last year. All I’m saying is you lose a LB your defense has a hole in it that can be fixed with good coaching. You lose QB1 because he get 20 carries a game and is having to make 15 tackles you get to the end of the year and the kid is a shell of what he started the season at

I agree if he can help you win go for it but I started that with if you can get away with it. If you got a kid that you can plug in on D and your QB doesn’t have to play both ways that’s the way to go

If you can get away with it I wouldn’t play the starting QB both ways

We are 4 weeks away from the first official practice! Football is almost here. lets get everyone’s bold predictions for this next season. The bolder the better, let’s say it’s something you you hypothetically bet your own money on.

Looking at the schedules that seems to be the date with Grundy that was double booked with Marion. I’m not sure who’s fault the mix up was but I would rather play a game than play 9 even if it is a cake walk. I really don’t think Patterson is intentionally dodging good teams. They added Ridgeview and Radford to the schedule that is up from what they where playing

That pretty weak minded if that’s the case

Had to be some kind of family emergency right? Why else would someone step down a month away from the start of 2 a days after winning a region title

I think if coaches go into these tournaments to win it is a waste of time. If you are playing man cover with 2 high safeties on defense and running 5 verts out of empty then you are wasting your time and the kids. BUT if you are using it as a joint practice with another team and don’t care about the score then it is very useful

I think grahams biggest question mark will be replacing Connor Roberts and anyone else they graduated off that front. That have been the most dominant D lines in the area the past few years. They dominated a few games just snapping the ball to Clements or the Floyd kid last year. If one of those kids can kind of throw a ball they could pull a Giles and line up in the single wing and roll thru the regular season again

What year is the Hertig? I know he had a brother on the 2021 team. Just curious if he will be back. Lebanon will be right back on top of the SWD next year IMO Also if we are making excuses why Auburn lost they could have been looking forward to football season but we all know that is false.. that’s the problem with all the travel ball that’s played now and only playing one sport. I bet that game meant a lot more to Lebanon that Auburn because they have some school pride and not a tournament to run off to next weekend

A and B team is usually just Varsity and JV. It is a good signs they have enough young guys their to put together a JV 7 on 7 team though

Parker White (Marion sophomore) defended her state singles title. Team won and was runner up in doubles (Maddie Austin also sophomore). Swva represented well in the spring championships

Marion wasn’t supposed to be here John Battle is. The pressure is 100% on Battle if they are looking ahead at all it could be a dog fight. I’m not saying they are but that is why you play the game

Marion played a hell of a game yesterday! And made the state tournament for the first time in who knows how long! Now I think they can play loose because they weren’t supposed to be here. All the pressure is on Battle

Both 3 seeds won yesterday which is surprising. Marion has beaten VA High once already this year so there is a chance they could do it again

Can someone please explain to me how Twin Valley at 0-16 made the region tournament?! There are 17 teams in 1D how a team that hasn’t won a game in baseball basketball or football makes the region tournament! I do disagree that there are to many teams in the tournament it’s the same as every other sport I’m okay with that
