This has nothing to do with me but it is WRONG to attack a mans character unless you know for sure(i.e. saw it yourself or formal charges have been brought), if you dont then dont mention it. It has nothing to do with the rule of law, its common descency. When a man is accused of what some on here are accusing him of it sticks with him for life, guilty or not. I dont know the guy from Adam and probably will never meet him but lets try to hold off on the accusations. And if he did do something wrong OK, but wait until its made public

If Honaker can control the edge and stop the jetsweep then I think they can will win. The rest of Hurleys game plan kinda off of that play, everything else complements it even the I formation stuff. Honaker as always is gonna come right at Hurley, but I think the Rebels will be ok against Honakers rushing attack. Like I said earlier it should be a good one

This is kinda off the point but, I hate "the spread"! i dont mind it as a part of an overall strategy but I dont like it as a base offense. The only way I can support it is if some jetsweep and 2 back 3 wr is mixed in. But just lining up in 4 wide and throwing it 40 times a game and running HB up the middle with no lead blocker just kills me. Its not too bad if the team running it has the talent but alot of teams around here run it and dont have the talent or coaching to do so. It just kills me! well thats my rant for the day! lol

Should be a good one, Hurley has nothing to lose (I believe even w/o winning district outright Hurley will make the playoffs) and Honaker has everything to gain(if they dont win no playoffs). I think Honaker will be too much for the Rebels, Honaker will be able to match their toughness. All I know is it should be a great game!

From what I heard we threw an interception and on the play Hurley laid quite a few hard licks(good football) the hit that hurt the Haysi player was one of those. Ive never heard of someone getting hit so hard they spit up blood, I dont dare speculate as to his injury but it sounds bad.

I hear that a Haysi player got hit in the back near the end/after a play. He was medflighted a he was spitingup blood. I dont know, wasnt there but I hear it was a cheap shot, I dont know, but I hope he is ok. When I find more out I will post it.

Embarassing! Have some pride.

Rawlins played a great game, Haysi couldnt stop that jet sweep, Hurley ran it all night. I left early so I dont know who had medical issues? I did see two players get hut for Haysi; Dakota Stanley reinjured his ankle(he broke it earlier in the year) and Derrick Blair was holding his let arm(his throwing arm). Hope neither is serious

It was close, big plays and turnovers killed hurley against Haysi last year. I thought they were a step behind of Haysi, turns out they were 1 ahead. They arent overly talented but play solid all around football. It wasnt really turnovers just lack of performance, WRs dropping balls. Their heads just werent in the game. Hurley came out and did pretty much whatever they wanted,which wasnt much(they only ran three run plays that I remember). Poor play calling on Haysi's part also played a big part in it, our fullback got stopped at the line 1 time other than that he had atleast 4 yards a carry, he probably only carred the ball 6 times, he was the only dependable offense we had all night. We didnt run a lead play all night! It was like we were trying to trick Hurley instead of just punch them in the mouth?

terrible showing by Haysi tonight. No pride, not X's and O's, just pride

38-8 hurley when I left, end of 3rd. I have never left a Haysi game unless my tigers were up big.

Sorry to steal this thread from the Hurley fans but, Congratulations to the Hurley Rebels, outstanding performance tonight you guys showed alot of heart and class(two things that have been missing from Hurley football for a long time). Everyone says football is about two things; blocking and tackling but football comes down to two even more basic things than that, heart and desire and the Hurley Rebels football team showed alot of both tonight! The Rebels played their game tonight, no late hits no trash talking, none of the bs Hurley is known for, well played game. The most polished, driven and prepared team ive ever seen Hurley field. Again congratulations and good luck against Honaker

no one ever accused me of being smart! lol Tv, that explaing alot!

Not trying to jump on Hurley, just trying to figure this idiot out. Maybe he is still mad about Haysi's 48-0 beatdown of Grundy in '07, Who knows? And if he is from Grundy, they really ran it up on Hurley this year(no offense to the Rebels) so is that ok? Jealousy is such an ugly thing!

Whats wrong with using various formations to keep the defense off balance? You call it BS I call it smoke and mirrors, that principle has been a part of football as long as the game has been played! Look at the single wing, basic plays with alot of movement in the backfield. Excuse Haysi for not lining up in the I and running it straight ahead. That will work against teams on a low level, or if your team is on a really high level. Haysi is a mid level team with trying to knock off the big boys! Size and strength are usually in small ammounts at Haysi(as with most small schools) so coach decided to outsmart opposing defenses, nothing wrong with that. Alot of local teams are doing the same thing now; for years the SWVA lined up in I formation and ran it straight ahead over and over with undersized linemen and backs against bigger teams,how'd that work out? Very well for some, not so well for most! Now coaching staffs are hitting teams on the edge and throwing the ball, pretty smart! sounds alot like what Haysi does! Honaker lined up in the pro I/power I for years and ran it straight ahead with little success. Until they opened it up a little they never saw any success. I adjusted this post to not be directed directly at a person from Hurley, I made it more general but the points are the same. If hes not from hurley did he jump on the bandwagon? Eastboundanddown, inquiring minds want to know?

Youre rediculious lol You make these accusations attacking a coach's morals and degrading the accompolishments of players from Haysi but never offer any proof. Offer 3-4 REAL examples of proof and I will agree with you! The thing is you cant, it just simply doesent happen the way you see it! Countryboy is right, whats the difference? Its ok for someone else to get their butts kicked but when it happens to Hurley its running the score up

I think it was the next year Haysi missed the playoffs at 9-1, only loss was to Honaker. I like the playoff system A is adopting next year. But even it has its flaws(espicially for the eastern section).

like I said im glad to see it, just wish it was on a higher level!

to me thats the best part of the old SWD and the old LPD, both districts had some really good teams but what made them great was the gap between the top and the bottom wasnt that great. Alot like BDD Basketball from in the early 2000s,good, solid, competitive play! I know most people would like to see it in their district, I just dont want to see the BDD teams get any worse(Haysi and Honaker are down, we know the story with TV and hurley has remained about the same).

youre right they are two very different teams. Haysi likes to throw it and complements the passing game with their rushing attack. Hurley is the exact opposite, they like to run the ball and keep teams off balance with their passing. Its a very interesting matchup! Im just glad to see the district a little more competitive!

I thought even way back at East Ridge they were spreading the ball around well, espicially to the wingbacks in the flats

I dont think it matters to Honaker who wins betweeen the Rebels and Tigers. If Honaker wins the BDD they are in if they lose they probably wont make it but I think it will be close.

Ive got Haysi by 2 tds. 27-13 GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!

Its the coaches place to stop dirty play, the refs arent goin to catch everything. Dirty play is a common issue and is not related to trying to win.

Are the all state teams chosen by Divisions? I thought it was just A, AA, AAA. In terms of "purely catching the ball" yes! He is an ok athlete, Kory Bostic was a little before my time (didnt move to Haysi until 98), I did play with Blake and he was a great athlete, also played with Jake and Rob they too were GREAT athletes but Dakotas hands are top notch. None of those guys can CATCH any better than Dakota(probably not as good), run past and over him, definately. Waynick is probably a better athlete, hes obviously more imposing on the field, but he cant catch like Dakota and more importantly he cant set up defenders like Dakota. Theres more to being a good player than being athlete. Theres the skill and mental components, and not everyone has those (not talking about the other Haysi guys) tools to use, Dakots does. Hes also really quick! As far as my "go to" reciever, it would be Jake. He was rediculious, if we would have had someone to play QB Jake would have been a dominant reciever, 1st team all state w/o a doubt.
