clodhopper 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Tazewell is young, very young. I would'nt rag them too much, in a couple of years they'll be eating everybody's lunch. I really like their young QB, he's gonna be a good one. [/ QUOTE ] Doubt it. There seems to be a vicious cycle in T-town...they have GREAT middle school teams. Those kids move up to HS and are forced to play in 9th and 10th grade, get pounded on by bigger teams, the kids get frustrated and don't play when they become 11th and 12th graders and then Tazewell is forced to play young kids again who end up getting their butts kicked week in and week out, etc., etc.... I've been told it has something to do with the coaches as well...at least that's the word from someone "close" to the program... [/ QUOTE ] I did'nt know that, thanks for the info.......shame though.

clodhopper 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Sorry but Lebanon has three speedsters, unless you've seen them you really don't know. It is very odd for Lebanon to have this much speed, I'll grant you that, but I would'nt "giggle" til I saw a game or two. Have you seen Lebanon and Bluefield? or are you just shooting from the hip?

GmanFan 21 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have seen Lebanon play. They do have 3 very fast backs. The Musick kid is the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog78 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 we could have beat richlands we showed that we could in the first quater last night but hopefully we can bounce and win the rest of the games i mean really it was 0-0 but then we quit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly after Tazewell's first possesion when they drove down inside the five I thought it was going to be a good game, and then they turned it over on downs. Then they held Richlands on there first couple of drives. But it usually takes Richalnds a few series before they get going. To say you could have beat us may be a stretch, but to say you could have made it closer...that might be true. All of our starters were out on our second offensive series of the second half, if they would have stayed in the score could have been a lot worse.

plooolt 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Lebanon has by far the fastest backfield in Southwest Virginia, not even close, as for Bluefield I can't say. Burton probably is the faster team, but just the backfield Lebanon wins hands down. Three guys averaging over 8 yards per carry while playing Honaker (ask Abingdon about their run D), Powell Valley, Gate City, and Clintwood.

GHS71 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 you guys want to talk about speed??go to Mount View and talk to Cordero High, now hes fast. Hes the fastest running back that ive played against this year, that guys has to run a 4.4 forty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plooolt 10 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Skyler Musick ran a 4.4 last year in state. Wasn't there but is what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Do you even have an idea of how fast 4.4 time is? If you run that, you'll have big-time programs knocking on your door. He might be fast. I doubt it's that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano5 14 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 just because you are fast doesnt mean you have big time programs after you....there is a DB here at Charleston and he runs close to a 4.3...but hes at no big time school...Charleston is far from a big time school...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I watched Cordero High last night. He is the quickest thing I have seen in a few years. (#5 for Graham) When he caught that punt in stride, it looked like Bradshaw all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of teams have played Richlands well early, but only one team has beaten the Blues. Tazewell is a young team, and they have some good kids playing hard, but they are last in the district because they are not very good...sorry!

ghs84 10 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 hes quicker than last year.i know that for a fact.he can boogie oogie oogie.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 That's why I'm an observer. I haven't seen the kid play, obviously, since I haven't been in Virginia for more than a weekend since August. Again, my point is, 4.4 40-yard-dash speed is bloody fast. If you have it, it will likely (but not always) get the notice of good football programs. Since that sort of speed is rare, I doubted its validity. Again, I didn't say it wasn't true, I just highly doubted it. Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neondion1 10 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 If ANYONE has 4.3-4.4 speed they will get recruited (letter to coach/player and looked at on film anyway)...period. It may not be for football, maybe track, and they may not get "offered" but they will get looked at if the speed is truly there and recognized through a legitimate source such as a camp, track meet, college day, etc. I realize the SWV/VA schools do not get much pub but if the talent/speed is there coaches will hear about it. Schools are always looking for a diamond in the rough....no question about it. What about Gilbert H.S. (had some good Division I recruits in the past).
