It'll be me and suprbeast getting the apology

Guess I'll look bad right along with you,because these folks really don't know do they? BTW: As a JJK man should be,I loathe the Black Raiders,and if he Falcons hung a loss on Norton,I'd GLADLY eat that crow,but it isn't going to happen.

JJK's Andrew Sturgill's hit on Richland's Jeremy Keene (think that was his name) during a JJK-Richlands scrimmage at Wise a few years back was bone-jarring,and it shook the guy up pretty good.

I love Leonard's losers-good stuff! I just wish he'd give us more games

You guys are going to be in for a big-time surprise Friday night. These guys picking AHS by 2-3tds are making my sides hurt lol. Abingdon will do well if they stay within 2tds of Norton. That Raider defense is blazing fast and will knock your chinstraps off.

Good to see a fellow Dolphin fan on here Wave. Niiiice!

Patrick Henry traveling to The Reservation to play my TRIBE from J.J.Kelly. GO BIG RED!!!!

Norton and Clintwood are strong as well,and PV is always in the mix. Appy is vastly improved as well. Pound is lin for a long season if the JJK debacle is any indication.

I'm not sure about Honaker battling for anything this year. Haysi will be Hurley's biggest obstacle this year IMO.

I agree. Looking very forward to the challenge from PH.

J.J.Kelly has given up a TOTAL of 49 yards of total offense and a mere 4 first downs through 2 games (3 of those coming against the 2nd string). The TRIBE has registered 12 sacks,and has over 20 tackles for loss thus far. Kelly has also scored 3 defensive TDs. You simply cannot do it any better than that.

I'd be more concerned about winning the Black Diamond Distric if I were you (instead of a situation that isn't real). It's hard to tell really. The Rebs defeated CD squad St. Paul by 2,but Thomas Walker is the favorite to repeat as Cumberland champions. Who knows really? I'd happily settle for Hurley unseating the Tigers (whichever one of them) and nabbing BDD gold.

Better bring your pass defense,and be ready for anything. James Colley's Tigers will throw everything at you but the proverbial kitchen sink. He's by far the most unorthodox coach in the state.

That's good stuff. Thanks amigo

Somebody give me a rundown on Patrick Henry?

Guys after Friday night,you'll have to look back at this post and see that I am right. I like Abingdon,and wish them well,but I promise you,even in a year where they were hit by graduation,the Black Raiders will show the Falcons speed like they'll not see again. It's all about genetics,and those "Southside Scooters" can fly. Martinez Miles is getting serious looks by D-1 schools,and may very well be the best player in the state. I hope the Falcons give 'em hell,but it's going to be a long night for the birds IMO. Raiders by 14+

J.J.Kelly-47 Pound- o was 33-0 in 1st when subs came in

St.Paul will be an entirely different team when their starting QB Tyler Phillips returns (should be next week). He is by far the best player on the squad,and one of the better signal-callers in the region. You can't mess around with an irregular heartbeat though (especially with the Sullivan South tragedy as a reminder).

Agreed-many variables: coaches,kids quitting..etc. If we can keep this core of kids together,we will do good things. They play ball like the old LPD teams in the 80's (very hard-nosed and physical-nothing fancy at all)

Wise's 8th-graders win again,beating Pound's Junior Varsity squad 24-16 in Pound this evening.

Since we are bragging on the youngin's,my son's 8th-grade (middle school) team traveled to Virginia High Monday evening for a jamboree. The future TRIBE defeated Abingdon 14-8,and Virginia High (middle) 8-6. These guys won the Southwest Virginia Division 2 league last year as 7th-graders. Things are looking well for B.I. Salyers and J.J.Kelly in the future.

Pound at J.J. Kelly

J.J. Kelly at Thomas Walker

I figured someone would throw Pound in there too. The Pound-Twin Valley clash will settle that one I suppose.
