James Monroe's Schedule: 1. Bluefield - They are Bluefield, enough said. Too much speed, talent, and experience coming back. 2. Shady Spring - Very good last year, much better this year. Why has there been talk of them folding? Did they pack it in last year? Not against us. 3. Oak Hill - They lose a lot of key skill, but have athletes most us wish we had. 4. Greenbrier East - I know surprise pick. New coach, but the talent is there for the taking. Had decent teams in the 90's. 5. Wyoming East - They cannot be as bad as they were last year. They had a very good receiver. Word has it they have a good group of 9/10th graders. 6. Point Pleasant - Mediocre year last year at best. Should be mediocre or better this year? 7. Liberty-Raleigh - Good records for 2 years, but playoff blowouts for 2 years in a row. Don't know muchbout them, but historically they are a below average team. 8. Pikeview - Pitful the last four years, may be getting a little bit better. 9. Summers County - Poor the last 2 years, be even worse this year. 10. Narrows - Not impressed last year, won't be any better this year. Possible losses: Bluefield, Shady Definate Wins: Wyoming East, Greenbrier East, Point Pleasant, Pikeview, Liberty, Summers, Narrows. I see 7-3, Oak Hill will be a probable victory as well. 7-3 to 10-0 season. With this schedule we are definately in the playoffs!

Shadyfan or footballfreak... Looking at Shady's schedule, what games look like sure wins, sure losses, and toss up games?

1. James Monroe- More talent this year than most AAA. 2. Bluefield- Only loss will be to James Monroe. 3. Weir- Saw first hand the talent they have at their game against Bluefield. 4. Wayne- Should have beaten Westside if they could just hold onto the ball. 5. Poca- Rebuilding? Or reloading? 6. Mt. View- Could be a top 5 AAA team if they decided to play. 7. Shady Spring- Usually strong team, but seem quiet on the weightroom chatter this year? 8. Scott- Losing a lot, but will be strong and talented. 9. Tolsia- Will narrowly miss a home playoff game, but will be there nonetheless. 10.Herbert Hoover- Lose a little too much, but still more than others. 11.Frankfort- I don't think the talent they have coming back is as good as last year's talent? 12.Tyler Consolidated- Speed with no line means a busy trainer! 13.Westside- Will win 7 maybe 8 games. 14.Keyser- Better than the rest of AA left. 15.Sherman- Had a solid team last year, not losing much of it. 16.Wyoming East- You heard it here first, they make the playoffs this year. CLOSE: Clay, Ravenswood, Grafton, Winfield, Chapmanville, Oak Hill. SERIOUSLY FAR AWAY FROM BEING DECENT: Independence, Summers County, Liberty, and Richwood

Didn't Shady usually hold a "coafield Conference" meet? As pitiful as Liberty is in football, a weight program could only help. Just seems like an oddball location is all.

Since when did the conference hold a weightlifting event? Anyone actually going to Liberty to compete in weightlifting? Why isn't it held in Bluefield or Princeton or somewhere more accessible?
