Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Congrats to JSB for defeating their long time nemesis Va. High. I know some people who went and they all said it was a very special night on Battle Hill. This one will never be forgotten by the Trojan faithful. JSB is a young team, and finally have that Bearcat monkey off their back. 2-0 with 8 to go. Way to go Trojans. JSB 21 VHS 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshreeves 37 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yes. Congrats Trojans! Not affliated with the school in any way but happy to see them win this one. How good are they? What's a realistic goal for this team this season? I noticed in the BHC preseason coachs poll, one coach gave them a first place vote for the CMD title. I chuckled at that when i saw it. Maybe they are a contender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are a contender? It's really kinda hard to tell at this point. You have GC who is 0-2, but have played two very good teams. VHS romped Abingdon last week, JSB beat them. Lee lost late to Union last week, who almost upset Richlands last night. Don't know much about Lebanon. The CMD is up for grabs this year IMO.

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I know it doesn't mean much right now since it's the beginning of the season, but going into week 3 WE'RE #1 IN THE CMD!!! lol. I'm saying Battle beats PH, Holston, and maybe Honaker to at least make it 5-5 this season. Really don't know what the other games will be like (we also have to play Lebanon, GC, and Lee for district and JI Burton and Abingdon for the rest). I'm hoping we do much better than 5-5, but worst case that's the least we should go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wuz robbed Come on "V-Cats" you must give credit were it is due even if it hurts. When you can't make the blocks you have no choice but to grab some cloth. IMO it could have been called more because it happend on every play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastboundanddown 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 First ever Clinch Mountain District Win and how long has it been since they beat VA High? Usually when a trojan breaks there's not such a great reaction haha glad to see Trojans breaking the losing streak..... They may even give Wright an extension... no Battle Coach gets a 2 year deal.... Hope he gets the money guaranteed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsbunny 12 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 It was a great win for Battle last night. They shut down the jet sweep play that VHS used so well against Abingdon the week before. The outside linebackers did great with containment and the defensive line lived in the VHS backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 By: Tim Hayes Published: September 06, 2011 Bristol Herald Courier excerpt: BRISTOL, Va. –The list of high school football teams in Southwest Virginia that boast 2-0 records features the usual suspects. Richlands, George Wythe, Honaker, J.I. Burton, Rural Retreat and John Battle. Wait a minute. OK, that last team is better known as an unusual suspect.
