Honaker was in the Hogoheegee...Prior to '79 Haysi played in the Clinch Valley District along with Garden, Hurley, St. Paul, Lebanon, Rich Valley and maybe Honaker but I'm not sure who else was in that district.

Yeah you are right hhstigerfan, Honaker joined the BDD in '88 while Haysi first year was '79...9 years difference. However, Haysi and Honaker played each other in week one of regular season as non-district opponents from '82 through '87 with the results being: '82 Haysi 19 Honaker 0 '83 Haysi 26 Honaker 0 '84 Haysi 26 Honaker 7 '85 Honaker 7 Haysi 6...Haysi went 9-1 in regular season '86 Haysi 8 Honaker 0 '87 Haysi 30 Honaker 14 So its my guess that Honaker may have one the BDD once or maybe twice more at most if they had been there since '79 because 81 through 83 Hurley was really tough.

The last time a team other than Haysi or Honaker won the BDD was Hurley in '92...Haysi has the most championships winning the District in '79 '80 '84 '85 '87 '90 '91 '93 '94 '95 '96 '97 '98 '01 and '03 for a total of 15...Honaker won the district in '88 '99 '00 '02 '04 for a total of 5 championships...I think Hurley was district Champs in '82 and '83 as well for a total of 3 championships(if im not mistaken)...Garden won the district in '81?(not sure) '86 and '89 for a total of 3 championships. I may not be completely accurate on 81 through 83 so any corrections are welcome

I've had probs opening the Adobe page to look at schedules...can someone please post the Haysi schedule? Thanks

I hope Bluefield will call Haysi...that would be a nice addition to the Tigers schedule and a pretty good game too.

Yeah I talked to Coach Colley about playing Grundy last year because all the Haysi fans and players are in favor of having Grundy on the schedule because of the close proximity and the quality program. Unfortunately he is still holding a grudge from something that happened back in like '97 when the two teams played. Something about a long touchdown pass with 3 seconds left on the clock and Grundy leading 13 to 0, kinda trivial in my mind. Anyway, I agree that its unfair to the fans and players not to play the game when both teams need it...you have to let bygones be bygones.
