@ redtiger But as always the one who retaliates that will get punished even more. There must be more to this than what we know. But regardless he could have walked away and if they had beef with one another settle it on their own time and not the schools. Both coaches were not being very good examples for the young men they lead.

Hey where are the other BDD teams besides grundy playing the week of the 23rd. Gate City might be too far to get to.

What about the peel back block rule change? Has any body heard much on that? What about the balanced extra point alignment? any thoughts?

Glad to see Wayne Mutter got 1st team Punter. Wish him the best in kicking in college if he pursues it. Congrats to all of the SWVA kids that made it also. The list looks well represented with local kids. We still have some good talent down here and i am glad they are getting the proper respect.

redtiger, To reply the statement of Honaker having a size advantage. If that is what Honaker is banking on to carry them through then they will lose. If GW is healthy, which i dont know. Honaker can out size but not out physical GW. Ask Fort Chiswell what size gets you against GW. 28-7 and FC didnt score until there was less than a minute on the clock in the 4th. Please remember, FC was the #1 seed in D2 West and had plenty of size. Seeing Honaker and Clintwood both play this year. Hands down, Clintwood was the better team. But if you lay an egg, you lay an egg. Anybody can be beat at this stage if they beat themselves. FC compares to Honaker alot in the passing area I think. YouTube has a link for the FC vs. GW game:

In the last 10 years, I would take Luke Dales, 98-01 LB/FB/ Bulldozer, over either Marcum bros. any day of the week. Period. His picture is beside the word "BEAST" in the dictionary. Played at VT for a short time and along with Cary Perkins & Cody Justus (another good one) , the only 3 time winner for team MVP at Grundy.

Mutters punt was about 70 yards in the air 82 yards total with roll

Didnt mean for it to come out like I was comparing the 2012 US team and 92 Croatia team. Of course the 2012 US team would beat the Croatian team. Its just the fact that Croatia had NBA talent and for that time which was the best era for the NBA, i think that means alot. The game now has changed how it is played mainly because the lack of dominating centers in the NBA. The game is more athletic, fast paced, and spread out with one on one matchups off the dribble being dominate. The 92' team had dominating big guys and still put up 120+ points a game (because if you tried to stop the post up game then they would kick it out for a 3). In 1992, team oriented basketball was dominate. Now all haters are going to say that the rest of the world was not that good in 92'. That might be true to a point but maybe the Dream Team just made them look that bad. Until the 2012 team has as many HOF'ers on it i wont ever change my mind. Think about the NBA titles the 92' dream team had after they all retired. These were men that knew how to win by not playing selfish when they needed too. Which is a trait I dont see in the 2012 US team. Nontheless, I am still pulling for them to win the gold. Its great we get to debate these type of things. Sure doesnt happen in soccer. U S A!!! U S A!!!

I watched the 92' team as much as was humanly possible that summer on tv. And people really dont understand how good they were unless they saw it then. The Croatia team that they played had 4 or 5 nba players (Think 2012 Brazilian Team) on it and the 92' team beat them by over 30 points both games including the Gold medal game. Croatia had Drazen Petrovic that played for the Nets, Toni Kukoc whiched played for the Bulls afterwards, Dino Raja which played for the Celtics during that time, and a couple other 7'0 tall bohemoths that played in the NBA. Wikeopedia the 1992 Croatian Squad and see how good they were. To say it would be a close game with the 2012 squad would be a joke. 92' team by 15-20 points 90% of the time.

has there been a final approval on this? Everyone is going to have their opinion on this but i think grundy is getting hurt bad in this deal for all sports. Conference 40: From Grundy Travel time to Union 1 hr 50 min - 70 miles Travel time to Gate City 2 hrs - 77 miles Travel time to Lee 2 hrs 20 min - 100 miles Travel time to John Battle 1 hr 30 min - 68 miles Travel time to Va High 1 hr 45 min - 73 miles Travel time to Central 1 hr 30 min - 55 miles This is estimated by google maps. Trip for a bus will be longer. Why is Grundy not in Conference 39? It would be the old SWD (-Carroll +Grayson) from back in the late 90's.
