It did very much so and ricker has the same grit and toughness. I think I’m the end the program itself will be ok. However if the Trojans can somehow find away to win a couple of games they may still find themselves in the playoffs
Hate to hear this about Cunningham but this game would be a blow out no matter who plays. Battle should easily be 3-1 at this point. The big hit to Battle is Poe #7 being out he was their playmaker.
I wonder if you’d be bashing them if your son was still playing and as far as Osborne how can you quit on your boys when things get a little tough and not going your way. I don’t understand young men these days.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not bashing the Trojans. However what I’m saying is this game will be a blowout.It would be even if Dylan was playing. It was last year and I think Patrick Henry is stronger this year.Zane is a very big speed guy for the Trojans having him out there opens a lot of things for John Battle however for some reason Zane only touches the ball like 7 or 8 times a game. He should have the ball more.The problem is Battle has a team of 27 right now less because another kid quit yesterday and a couple more have said there going to but a lot of our players are not leaving the field. Against Marion with all of our players out Hutton was sacked ten plus times and we had 30 yards rushing. When Zane comes back we will have a great passing offense. If we can block for Hutton and that’s where I think the loss of Dylan may hurt us the most he was very good at giving osborne the few extra seconds to throw or escape. Hutton has a great arm but he doesn’t have the legs of Osborne. However if we can find a way to block for Hutton Zane can light up a defense not to mention Blaylock. Cause trust me Hutton can put the ball anywhere he wants to. Defensive side the loss of Denton hurt us bad but now you have 4 of our big players out so that hurts.Truth is right now the thing that hurts the Trojans more than anything is injuries but it’s lack of numbers and now it’s a lot of young kids playing. Which is good for them for next year but it’s bad for this year. The Trojans have just had very bad luck this year Hopefully Ricker and his staff can pull the team together. But my opinion is it will not be this week Patrick Henry is to strong
This game will be a blowout Patrick Henry by 4 scores. Battle can’t block Marion lives in there backfield. Without Cunningham and Osborne Trojans have no run game. Defense is weaker as well with Cunningham and Denton gone. Like I said blowout
Thank you everyone for your thoughts on my son Dylan Cunningham #20 for Battle. We appreciate it. Yes he was a good ball player. He will have surgery and with hope be ready for baseball.
Abingdon is very good there line is big strong and will push a lot of teams around. Lucas is the real deal and there qb play was good.. Battle was a lot smaller but not faster.. running back showed a lot of toughness and a lot of our kids went both ways and got very tired we were flat beat by a better team.. On to next week think we will improve a lot by next week
Abingdon in a much closer game than people think. Battle has a strong defense against abingdon strong offense. Will come down to the 4th quarter but I think abingdon avoids the upset.
CoalfieldSports.com is looking to add to its staff this season to be sure all the teams in the coverage area get the attention they deserve. I believe as of right now, Richlands, Union, Ridgeview, Lebanon, Tazewell, Abingdon, VA High, Giles and Narrows are who is already covered
We are also looking for team pictures from media day. We will credit whoever took the picture. We just would like to get our hands on them so we can post them to the site. So far, we just have Richlands, Honaker, Twin Valley, Grundy and Hurley.
Please let us know if you can help out.
Thanks!
Do you need someone to cover a little from the battle games..
How did Sullivan North look against Battle. I have heard absolutely nothing from them this fall.
Looked ok... Qb has a decent arm receivers have speed need to track ball a little better... All in all they looked ok.. Starters for both teams only played two series.. They did struggle holding on to the ball on the pitch coat thwm a lot of yards in two drives they mishandled the ball 5 times
John Battle vs wise central... Very well could decide the last spot in the playoffs... wise was very improved last year will probably be stronger this year... Battle has most of there starters returning but a new coach... If the team gels under ricker with top returners Cunningham McCloud Osborne and Scarborough Battle could be a solid football team... Should be a very good game
#20 for the John battle Trojans... Scored 9 touchdowns last year in a split running back spotwith 100 tackles from his linebacker spot.. This year the back field is his and him and the Scarborough kid could be one of the best linebacker duos in the mountain 7
