I have expected Lee to break out for the last 3 or 4 years.....IMHO they cant make a legit run at GC in the CMD and would have to be considered the underdog vs Lebanon and VHS
I am interested in how they fair vs Union in 2 weeks
Honistly I did not think eaither had a very good line last season (This seaon may be a 180 IDK)
I do look for Union to be tough this season but I think Clintwood and Burton will hold there own (for the next few years at least)
I think Union should have a TOUGH backfield......not sure how the Line or QB will be .....IMHO IF Union with 70+ kids out stick to a 3 yards and a clod of dust offence they will help out teams with less depth by shorting the games. That being said you have to play to your strengths so pros and cons to everything
Clintwood is returning most of there starters but will have a few big holes to fill plus they will not be as strong depth wise
Clintwood returns there FB and Tailback from last season as well as a QB that saw alot of playing time last season as well as a starting WR and 2 others that saw good PT last season...On the line They return 3 Starters (But one of them was a 4 year starter so HUGE lose IMHO) Another loss is at TE vacated by another 4 year starter but the kid that will probably step into that spot had alot of PT last season as well as a coupple of starts
On D it is about the same with the biggist loss is to the team depth (Although Vanover will be hard to replace at LB and Meade was as good a shutdown corner as we have had at Clintwood)
Then you put TS,RC and TW on an island
If we try to keep county schools together
BDD = Grundy, TV, Hurley, Councel, Richlands, Tazwell
CMD = Honaker, Lebanon, Castlewood, VHS, JB
LPD = DC, EastSide, Central, Union, JIB
CD = GC, Lee, TW, RC, TS
Clintwood going to Grundy would not be an issue (It is closer time and milage wise than Lee GC or Grayson Co)
I am still 90% sure that they are on for this season (Clintwoods scrimage this season is against Shelby Valley which sort of makes me think Grundy in the Reg season is a possability)
Oh Clintwood had room Lost App/Pound/Coeburn and droped SV and were droped by Happy Valley
They Picked up
Gate City, Lee, Hazard, Gryson Co and I THINK Grundy
If other schedules I have seen are to be belived Grundy will play Haysi/Honaker/TV and HurleY as district opponents
OOD teams are
Lebanon, Castlewood, (Clintwood I am 90% sure)
I am VERY suprised Grundy could not keep anyone from the SWD on there schedule
That being said IF Grundy is still stitting on 8 games this late in the game picking up 2 more games will be TOUGH
Honistly it will be eaisier next cycle the whole Wise Co mess (6 teams 3 team 6 teams 3 teams) had EVERYONE screwed up this time
What is Grundys schedule (Or 8 games ) so far?
Tazwell and Richlands still play singal A teams I am suprised that they droped Grundy
I would think that eastridge and Shelby Vally would be two close games for Grundy (I know both were looking for games a few months ago)
Clintwood will play them every year (Till they consoladate at least)
The new Central and Eastside High schools would probably not be tough to get on the schedule next time around (Not sure about Union)
I think everyone reworked there schedule (I know Clintwood did twice) If you have PV, Wise or Coeburn on your schedule then you are playing the consolidated school that took there place. to my knowledge no one still has Appy, StPaul or Pound on there schedule
Not sure what you mean.....All 3 WC schools will still be singal A.....As far as Div1 goes football is getting revamped this year as for the other sports Clintwood will be bumped down to Div1 other than that not sure what you are asking
I don't know if it is offical or not just going by what a guy from over that way told me (He seemed convinced if that means anything LOL)
As for DC i hear that this is most likly what we are going with

Does anyone know what the new school logos are going to look like? I have heard that PV/Appy (Union Bears) will Have a U like Miami with a bear in the middle.
Why would Castlewood want to goto the BDD if they are not forced........I think Honaker would make a push to go back to region C but since Battle was denied that same request resently I am not sure it would fly.......That being said you could be right and Castlewood may join Honaker in the BDD
700ish And the BDD fits travel time wise as does some revamping of the LPD
IF Richland and Tazwell drop in the next 2 cycles TV/Hurley/Council are going to take a hit reguardless
