In 1996 the district championship was decided at the Cliff. Haysi beat Hurley 7-6 and Haysi was a big underdog, but the Rebels got them back in a rematch in the first round playoffs 18-6. yeah this is the first time this game has meant anything sice 1996. 1992 was the last time Hurley won the district and the beat Haysi something like 30-6. This will be the first time this game has meant anything to either side since 1996.

I agree with you Lance, but to get the run going hurley will have to be able to throw it. If they put 8 or 9 in the box it would be hard for Barry Sanders to have running room against this defense. Haysi has a very good defense and Hurley must be balanced. Haysi is a very good football team I think they are in the top 5 in southwest virginia. I think for Hurley to win this game they must play great defense. The best team Hurley has played so far is Big Creek so this will be the biggest test by far. Lets Do It

I feel ya on that man. Its definately not been a great week of practice for the Rebels. We also just lost one of our starting linebackers for this week because of a suspension from school. He got into a fight at school. Again when we think things are going well, we are gonna get smacked in the mouth. They never think of the position they put their team in when they do stupid things. 5-0 and they act like they dont even care. They would rather beat somebody up i guess. Its just frustrating when you lose a player and you have to move people out of their original position to fill some gaps. So all I got to say Rebels is you better give it your all this week.

Those scores dont mean nothing.....Castlewood is a tough team. The beat twin valley like a drum. I think the loss of josh childress might be crucial in this game for the rebels

Castlewood will be a tough game for us. It wont be easy. Proabably the best team we have faced so far.

Montcalm: 5-1 Big Creek: 3-2 Unaka: 2-3 Ervington:1-4 Thomas walker:0-4

He has played against 5 teams already and averaging nearly 200 yards a game....Hey Hurley is also a small school...Who do you want us to play.....Richlands, graham and gate city. Hurley's opponets included: Unaka: 2-3 Montcalm: 5-1 only loss coming to hurley Ervington: 1-4 Big Creek: 3-2 Thomas Walker: 0-4 All of them have a bigger enrollment than Hurley

they are 4-0. I know but everybody says they havent played anybody but they have played 4 teams. Shane Justice is definately in the top 2 backs around. I think he is leading Southwest virginia. He is averaging about 12 yards a carry. Enough said

the last time hurley started 3-0 was in 1996. Matewan was their fist loss the 4th game. In 1992 the rebels started out 5-0.

Yes they did look good. Hurley was just out manned tonight and lucky they got away without any seriou injuries....Appy was able to perform better in the heat having about 35 or 40 ballplayers to hurley's 21. Appy looked alot stronger than they did last year. The rebels hung in there with them last year but this year they were just too much for hurley....I think appy will give gate city all they can handle.....Look for appy to be contending for that lpd title.

I like marcums's style of running myself but personaly i dont think he is in th top three backs to come out of grundy. I know he might not have the line scammell had but Grundy also plays weaker opponets now. They dont play matewan, Iaeger, mt. view....Competiton was also better in the past in all area teams i think.....Its hard to compare but i think the talent level has gone down in all area schools the past 5 years. 1 Cary perkins 2 David Scammell 3 tim rutherford 4 jason lester 5 garon marcum

Garon is a good running back dont get me wrong but he is not up there with Scammell. I dont know what kind of record he is close too but he will have to get over 2000 to break the single season rushing record and i dont think he has the line for them type of numbers.

One of the best games was between Grundy and Hurley at the Cliff in 1994 in overtime when Crigger hit jonathan keen in the back of the endzone on 4th down and Grundy won 26-20. The Cliff was packed out.

You tell them Rebs: Humble yourselves and you will get more respect.

Hey man I would really like to know how you watched film when you can't even write. Rebs is right. I wonder which quitter it was? From the way it sounds you better watch films on grammar rather than football. Watched film for Haysi Huh? lordy lordy I've heard it all now

ALSO HE NEVER MADE THE ALL STATE TEAM. HE MADE 2ND TEAM ALL REGION.....WORK ETHIC MEANS YEAR-ROUND NOT JUST PRACTICE

If you can read correctl i didnt say Justice and prater were the only 2 in the weightroom. I said i know there is a few more in ther besides him. Also i did not say that shane got thse yards himself. I said his work ethic alone is why he has the numbers he does. I know ther are others in the weight room but they dont work as hard as justice and prater. as i said earlier his surrounding cast needs his work ethic. Its a team effort and the ball does need to be spread around more. This will even make him more effective. Hurley has more running backs that are good and can give him a break and set him up. I agree he couldnt have done nohing without his line. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER HE HAS THE BEST WORK ETHIC ON THE TEAM AND IT SHOWS

Ramseyer was a much better head coach....Wasem was a good defensive guy....I watched a few games this year....Its sad to see wise get beat bya team like union....That would never happen under ramseyer....The recruiting isnt as good either.....By the way did you get suspended from school or the football team

PROBABLY TRUE, IT WOULD BE A WHILE BEFOR RINGSTAFF COULD PLAY AT WISE ALSO. tAHT GROUP AOF BACKS AT WISE IS DECENT BUT THEY DONT COMPARE TO THE BACKS THAT WISE HAD IN PREVIOUS YEARS. EVERY GOOD BACK THAT HAS COME THROUGH WISE HAS BEEN TIMED IN THE 4.4'S. tHE TEAM DONT COMPARE EITHER. wHEN rAMSEYER LEFT THE TEAM BEGAN TO GO DOWNHILL. i HOPE THEY GET IT BACK TOGETHER. cAOCH WASEM IS A GOOD GUY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM DO GOOD.

THIS GUY WAS ON THE ALL REGION TEAM.......HE WAS FIRST TEAM ALL DISTRICT.......HE HAD 1250 YARDS RUSHING.......DONT BAD MOUTH ANYONE ......I KNOW HURLEY DINT HAVE AS MANY AS HONAKER BUT i KNOW JUSTICE WAS ON THE FIRST TEAM ALL DISTRICT AND LED THE DISTRICT IN RUSHING....

I think shane justice is the best player returning in the BDD. He works his butt off in the weight room preparing in the off season. But he cant do it by himself. His surrounding cast needs his work ethic. Him and prater ahve been working pretty hard along with a few others but there are still plenty that needs to be in there. I think that is why he is one of the best in the bdd and why he will be one of the best running backs to come out of hurley: BECAUSE HE HAS THE DESIRE TO BE GOOD. He sees that his accompolisments have come form hard work. He just dont go in the weight room and do curls. He is under that squat rack. that is waht makes him the running back he is. A few more needs to get the desire that justice and prater has. they have done good in the weight room considering they really have no one working with them.........GUYS THATS WHAT ITS GONNA TAKE TO GET TO THE TOP......HOW BAD DO YA WANT IT?

A lot of kids around here have to go and prove themselves throug a walk-on experience. Kids in SWVA are deprived and dont get looks from d-1 recruits. I seen this kid play and he has my vote. I thought he was the best in the soutwest district. 5-10 200 is plenty big enough for a running back. Thats abut the average size for a talilback in college. I thought he lookd pretty durable and hardnosed myself. I watched him play against grundy. Speed is something he needs to work on but that will come around. Not all good running backs are speedy. I thopught he looked pretty fast myself. GO FOR IT MAN

c-burg will match that record if dresser stays there.....Grundy had a great accomplishment...but, who was behind that record......DRESSER.....they have hometown boys too up at C-BURG.....Dresser made Grundy wrestling waht it was.....He's gone and thats why it is what it is.......Fiser cant even compare.........

I forgot about junior coleman yeah i would pb rate him the best. David Scammel is definately in the mix. He had better numbers proabably than any of them. There has not been but about 5 palyers to rush for 2000 yards ever in southwest virginia. I think three of them has been from buchanan county. I definately think marcum could reach it this year if he has good line play

i think you are right by saying one of the best backs to come out of grundy. I think he falls about 3rd on grundys list. 1 Cary Perkins 2 David scammel 3 either marcum or rutherford (toss UP)
