Abingdon 21 Marion 14...according to the Kingsport-Times.

Not sure I remember the play, but I remember the ambulance coming onto the field to get one of the players, figured it was bad. Anyway, sorry to hear this, and he's in my prayers too, hope the best for him.

This is what VHSLhelper said in a another thread... [ QUOTE ] If Lee beats Va & Marion beats Abingdon, then we'd have 3 co-champs in the Highlands. Lee would finish behind M & V in points, so they're out. Marion would have a 2 point edge, and the only way VHS could pass them would be if, among other things, 0-9 Battle upsets 8-1 Wythe. If they DO finish tied, Marion wins the next tie-breaker, so Va. can't sleepwalk through Ben Hur Fri. night. If Marion & Va. both loss, Va. & Lee would be co-champs, with VHS getting the berth. Everything's been summarized on my preview page since Sunday morning. VHSL-helper [/ QUOTE ]

Looks north to me... Just zoom out one level..not too hard to see lol.. Wytheville

Way to go Hamilton!!

October 30, 4:00 P.M. at Mitchell Stadium. They play Knoxville, who beat Greeneville last week 44-15. This all according to the AFL site.

Did Lee even attempt a pass in that game? I know they did on the two-point conversion attempts, but I can't remember a pass any other time, maybe one. Anyway, ongrats Lee, good win, exciting game to watch also! http://www.timesnews.net/sportsArticle.dna?_StoryID=3560334 By Staff report BEN HUR - Lee High built an early lead and then held off a furious second-half rally to down Abingdon 18-15 in Highlands District football action Friday. The Generals' Cubby Scholls intercepted a pass with two minutes left to play to preserve the win. Hank Middleton helped Lee (2-6, 1-1) build an 18-point lead with two touchdowns in the first half, and finished the game with 178 yards on 33 carries. Jared Will rushed 15 times for 77 yards and a score for the Generals. Abingdon (2-7, 0-2) was led by Duran Carson, who rushed for 53 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown.

Yeah, he's a senior.

Well....he's definately not alone, there's some on Coach Wolfe's back too..haha. I just said that, because they haven't had more than 2 wins in season since '99. A win this week and then a good chance against J.J. Kelly next week would give them 3 wins, Ok maybe not a very good reason LOL. But hey, at least they would end the season on sort of a good note(sort of because they finish with Va High). So....yeah. Anyway, it would just be nice to beat someone other than cawood and j.j. kelly. On a side note, Lee's jv team is now 7-1 , coming off a good win against Powell Valley this week, 45-14. They have some talent coming up from that team.

Yeah, I should be there.

I figured that, really wasn't able to follow the game very well for some reason, don't know if it was them, me, or just the way the game was going, lol. Like tiger said for the haysi game, they do have games where blocking is, ummm...well, not so good(may be big, but not exactly quick lol).

Lee is 1-6...beat Cawood. They've improved over the season, still having some bad luck. Lee lost to Haysi 28-7, but if it had been played earlier in the season, it may have been a lot worse. Lee did have a chance to score a couple more times in that game, once they were stopped at the 2 yard line on fourth down but the down before that the running back slipped and fell at the 6, unfortunate there yet again. Then they just missed on connecting on about a 40-45 yard bomb early in the game. I listend to it on the radio, didn't get to see it because the game was in Haysi. Perdue is good. He's a strong qb, takes a pretty good beating most games. He has a strong arm, too strong most of the time, that could be because he's running for his life on most plays lol. They do have a big line, but sounded like they struggled with the speed of Haysi, and Lee does have a couple of decent rb's and a good reciever in Garret. I think it'll be a close game, it wouldn't suprise me if Lee were to win though. By the way, I think Lee needs a win more than Abingdon, better yet, I KNOW they do LOL. Anyway, good luck to both teams, hope it's a good game.

I'm going with Major Hoople on this one ...Lee 24 Haysi 22

Nice article from the K-times on a Lee High volleyball player, who by the end of the season should have her name in the list of some VHSL records. http://www.timesnews.net/article.dna?_StoryID=3552021 Generals' Greer remains down to earth By GEORGE THWAITES Times-News BEN HUR - Not only does Lee High volleyball standout Alysha Greer toot her own horn, she also waves her own flag. But only in the literal sense, mind you. After a week of dominating opponents at the net, the 6-foot-1 senior looks forward to Friday nights marching with the Lee High band in halftime shows as head of the flag corps. "I really enjoy the activity of the flag corps. It's a whole lot of fun," said Greer, who has played saxophone since fifth grade. "Halftime shows are fun. I also like marching in parades. The Christmas parade in Gatlinburg is fun because there are so many people there." While Greer enjoys showmanship, she's anything but a showboat. Lee High volleyball coach Angela Thomas is also Greer's English teacher. At the beginning of class this fall, she asked her students to write an autobiography. Most of what Greer wrote was simply about the family relationships that were important to her. "With all her accomplishments the past year, all she wrote was that she was in the band and played volleyball," Thomas marveled. "She stated it very simply: ‘I play volleyball.' I've coached kids who've accomplished far less and they have that swagger. She just floats on through." Float? Soaring might be more like it. As a sophomore middle hitter on a Lee High squad that had three 6-footers, Greer had 109 kills on the season. Then she made the move to outside hitter. The 464 kills she hammered out while leading the Lady Generals to the Group AA state quarterfinals last year stands as both a single-season and career record at the school. She was the unanimous Region IV Player of the Year and was a first team VHSCA All-Group AA selection. The only Group AA player in the state to have a better season than Greer was Blair Brown of eventual state champion Loudoun Valley. Brown went on to sign a volleyball scholarship with Penn State. "Last year, I realized that I was actually pretty good at this. My sophomore year just wasn't as good as it could have been," said Greer, a solid student whose favorite academic subjects are English and computer information systems. "I'm just more comfortable playing from outside. My hits are a lot better and I have a lot more power. My personal philosophy is to hit it hard and put it down." As of the end of last week, Greer was 245 kills shy of 1,000 for her career. To meet the millennium mark would be a daunting accomplishment, requiring a season average of 19.8 kills per match. Even considering her single-match highs - she had 35 kills against Abingdon last year and recorded 26 against Virginia High last week - maintaining the pace for 1,000 might be a tall order. At any rate, that would be gravy. College scouts from UNC Asheville, Coastal Carolina, Furman, Milligan, Campbell University, Carson-Newman, Lincoln Memorial University and (sporadically) the University of Kentucky are interested in her whether she hits that career mark. Thomas characterized Greer as one of the most "stable, courteous and down-to-earth kids" she's ever met. While she believes Greer is capable of playing Division I volleyball, she thinks her pupil will probably choose a college primarily on the basis of its cultural and academic offerings. "She's not one of those kids who thinks a big-name Division I school has to be it. She likes art. She likes music. She likes dance. She's not a party kid. She's not going to be interested in an active campus social life," Thomas said. Greer's main athletic goals remain team-oriented. As of this week, Lee High is 9-3 overall - its only losses having been once to Science Hill and twice to Rye Cove. "We want to win the districts again. And we want to win the region. And we want to go back to the state," Greer noted. While Greer is probably Lee High's best individual volleyball player ever, she may very well be surrounded by the best supporting cast ever. Student body fan support for the volleyball squad has grown noticeably this year. Greer doesn't think for a moment that it's all on her account. "I think everything has changed, but it really hasn't changed me. If not for my team, I wouldn't be what I am," she said. Whether Greer's apparent lack of egotism is due to extraordinary virtue or merely common sense, Thomas truly appreciates her star performer's point of view. "It's nice to have a big, 6-1 kid who's so powerful. But if she was all we had, everybody would just focus on stopping her," Thomas said. "I've been real lucky to have some talented setters and awesome setters. If we lose them, we lose our chances of winning. So our success isn't based only on Alysha. But she does make our team better."

This was definately a really good game. Lee did fumble the ball on the opening drive I think, they took it down to the GC 10 yard line and then fumbled it and GC took over. Then those couple of fumbles by GC that basically bounced right back up to their own players lol...but yeah definately a good one. Hopefully Lee can take this game and regain some confidence the rest of the season, and continue to improve. Good job guys.

Eric Satterfield is the Lee High's leading rusher(4901 yards), also holds the top two rushings yards in a season records(1878 yards in '98 and 1791 in '97).

[ QUOTE ] 1997 Lost to Lee 20-28 OT [/ QUOTE ] Got me thinking of the good ole days again lol. Ahh, come back please!!!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2152424 This was at the end of the article.... [ QUOTE ] "Those who criticize him for staying so long, though, are wrong. The 49ers let him leave in 2001 at the age of 38 and they were wrong in evaluating where he was at. He caught 83, 92 and 63 passes for the Raiders. More amazing is that he changed positions to make those catches. Tim Brown had the flanker position that Rice made popular in the West Coast offense. Rice had to go to split end where he lined up directly in front of a cornerback trying to jam him. At flanker, Rice was behind the line of scrimmage and could use his guile and precision to avoid contact from cornerbacks. Rice had to work harder to beat corners at split end and he did. The consistent Rice was fading in 2004, but he still showed flashes, especially after getting traded from Oakland to Seattle. He had a great Monday night game against the Cowboys, catching eight passes for 145 yards and one touchdown. That game earned him the right to have one more chance. Had Rice entered the league as a speedster, he might not have lasted until he's 42. Because he was supposedly slow, he could stay longer. Monday was the right time to retire. His next stop is the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a vote that will take no more than 4.7 seconds. [/ QUOTE ]

Could I get one with Lee High colors, and "Generals" wtih #1? Thanks.
