the watcher 10 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 The Bengals return only 3 starters from a 7-4 team and a JV team that was 3-7! Key players are 5'10" 175 kicker Tyler Martin, 6'2" 205 TE Patrick Martin and 6'1" 195 OLB Desmond Woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudBengal 10 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Patrick Martin did not return to the football team this year. From what I understand, he is concentrating on baseball this fall (a lot of showcase tournaments, etc.) in hopes of getting some looks. My Bengals are very young and inexperienced this season.

trigger 10 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Martinsville the favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great_state 12 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'd say Martinsville is the favorite, with the other four potentially finishing anywhere from 2-5. Bassett and Patrick County both lost quite a bit (Bassett lost basically their entire starting team on both sides and PC lost Harris, obviously a huge part of everything there last season). Magna Vista two straight winless seasons, but looks like Favero has started to get things going in the right direction. They should win a few. Tunstall has potential, defense should be improved there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Magna Vista had a good JV team last year and they should be improved. Martinsville's new coach is installing a new offense and has about 50 players which is about 20 more than last year. The Piedmont will be a toss up between Bassett, MV and Martinsville. I don't think any of them will get far in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadoball 18 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Whats happened to mart and magna lately, didnt they used to be a powerhouse every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Whats happened to mart and magna lately, didnt they used to be a powerhouse every year. Martinsville dominated thru the 70's and 80's then two county schools were merged together to become Magna Vista and they were the team to beat in the 90's. Another county school, Fieldale Collinsville, was merged into Bassett and they have had the powerhouse for several years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadoball 18 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 After watching the Richlands / Basset benefit game last night I have to say I think it will be long season for Basset, sorry guys. Hey, but they are young and will grow alot this year, dont worry Richlands is doing the same thing, very young, only 5 seniors on the team. Good luck the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 This week Bassett host Carroll Co., Magna Vista host Heritage and Martinsville travels to Brookville to take on the Bees. Tough opening games for all three teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I don't think Heritage has a whole lot this season...MV might just pull off a victory... MV hasn't been the same since their head-coach was fired a few years ago. I think that demoralized the program but they have a new coach this year who might bring them around. I'm hoping Martinsville's new coach, Bobby Dalton, will bring Martinsville back to it's former football glory. Dalton is a gentle giant but can crack the whip when he needs too. The turnout for the Bulldog football team was good this year with 20 more players than last year. Dalton appears to be having a good impact already.
