Here is what the other young man put on instsgram.
" Last night as we played Wythe, I suffered a concussion, I don't remember the play it happened on. I remember waking up sitting on the bench beside coach Fuller, and I had already finished the concussion test. I told him that the test didn't mean anything, because I have it memorized from previous concussions. I told him thay I have one, because I didn't remember anything. To this moment, I only remember one play of the game. The doctors have told me I can't play anymore. I'd like to thank my coaches for everything they've done, for Honaker fans for making the game fun, and my teammates for giving me someone to fight for, and for being my brothers. Lastly, give every play everything you have, because you don't know which is your last. I don't get to remember my last play, and I hope I gave it my all, so I didn't disappoint my team, community, and coaches."
 
He will be missed on the team!

How about those Council Cobras

Hurley has a solid program and does very well for a school of their size. Do they stay away from 2A schools? Of course and for good reason. This Rebel team is very good but if they graduate 7 starters then the next two teams might not be very good. Its literally year to year for these schools. Appy and JIB were brought up, remember both of those had enrollments well above 300 students in their glory days(JIB was  up around 325-350 in the 2000s) and Appy was just a powerhouse, no doubt about it. But those are 2 programs with dozens of examples of others of similar size that couldn't do that.  Does Hurleys schedule need to toughen up, obviously, part of that is their fault and part isint.
 
Failing to see how larger schools have a decided advantage over smaller schools is idiotic. The VHSL realizes this, as does every other state. If it was a non issues we wouldn't have classifications. Saying "you can only play 11 at a time" is ignorant at best. If you don't understand that then you don't understand high school football. That's not saying a 2A will always beat a 1a, its saying that chances are the larger school will come out on top.
 
Now on to the Rebel fans. Some are good people and understand football, some are hyper defensive of their school/team/community. Ive had my run ins with them on here before. Some of you need to cool it, youre doing the same thing you do almost every year(and ive said this before), you blow them up to be world beaters(on here and in real life) and then when they slip everyone talks trash about them.
 
 
And questioning Stripes integrity is bullshit, plain and simple. Hes a good dude.

But its not 11 on 11. Its 22 on 22, except when a really small school plays a school twice their size its 22 v 11.  This years Hurley team could play with any school in SWVA other than Union or Richlands but wouldn't win many of those games. Numbers make a big difference.
 
Give me 35 vs your 20 with equally talented players and I will beat you 9 times out of 10

I would guess your in-laws wish it was 50 miles as the Crow flies.

Lol I don't think I could handle the rigors of keeping up with a cheerleading wife. Might be fun for awhile but I would probably get tired of people saying "is that your daughter". Haha

Why so salty? You butthurt? Hurley isn't losing anything by Holston and the three amigos from the Cumberland dropping Hurley after next season. What....ten wins between the four teams? Hurley has their schedule set for 2017 with better teams. The VHSL has approved that field time and time again over the last eight years since the redesign. The VHSL approved t as recently in November for the home playoff game.  
Maybe you should have gotten drunk like the bunch from Twin Springs did this year. The alcohol might have made your experience more tolerable. The stadium was cleaned the next day and where the Twin Springs fans were sitting was where they found about 6 Bootleggers wine bottles and some Budweiser bottles. LOL

I would be willing to bet some folks in Eastern Montgomery county aren't going to be very happy.  They are already upset with the decision to leave the Three Rivers for the Pioneer which will be a sizable athletic budget increase.  Adding Hurley to the travel schedule isn't going to sit real well, I would imagine.

Haysi had similar issues. Those 3 communities are isolated and schools seem to think they are a million miles away

With SWVA being so close to Kentucky, you just never know. lol

I think a lot of people dont understand how difficult it can be to get schedules made.  Football has to be really tough with the limited number of dates available.  I know trying to help fill out a baseball schedule at my alma mater when I was coaching was tough enough.

I would say the drive to Hurley is the main reason that most teams would drop them barring some sort of animosity.

When I read it, I assumed your wife was a cheerleader too...lol.  Just shook my head and went on.

Thevols, you are right in that Coach Palmer has done an excellent job at Patrick
Henry. His leadership of his team though that horrible tragedy was telling as to
His quality of character and dignity.
One never knows how kids will deal with the unexpected. Patrick Henry had a very
Good year last year, and are doing very well this year so far.
 
The game between PH and Rural Retreat should be a good one. I remember some of the
Games when Coach Rhea was at RR, and those games was a war, with no love lost between
Either school. It was knock down and drag out with both squads, and if memory serves
Me right, a few fist flew from time to time when these two teams got together.
 
RR will be PH's best test of the season so far. Humphrey and Co. will need to have a good
Game. RR probably is still running that veer offense, which is hard to stop. Expect
A lot of points in this one. I'll guess 40 to 38 PH.

Patrick Henry is having a good year, and so is Hurley. Glad to see these teams do
Well in the early season. The meat of their schedules is in the next month, just like
Most schools.
It is good to see schools not known for traditional success have a good year. I have
A special place in my heart for PH.PH lost a player a couple of years ago when the
Young man was killed by his father. What a tragedy for any team to deal with. I think
That PH will be playing for their lost team mate for years to come. May God Bless the
Rebels from Emory. Our Hearts are with you. GOD Speed, young men!

10-4 Paul finebaum. I bet you had to dig deep for that analogy. You should apply for a College Gameday position. I'm sure they could use your witty responses.
