southbound 19 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Does anyone know if there is a weight limit to run the ball in high school? Happy Valley had 2 big backs that looked to be lineman. It's hard to tackle these guys and a little unfair. Dad said that there is a weight limit in midget league and middle school but he was unsure of high school. We played our tails off again and have nothing to show for it. Our record could be 5-0 but we sit here at 2-3 with a bunch of what ifs. I can tell you this the best years are ahead for my Falcons, the only sad part is I will be watching it from the stands. We have homecoming this week and a team we usually dominate John Battle, get ready Trojans because we will be ready! Remember last year when I forced battlefootball to change his avatar to "We got dominated by the Falcons". The only good team we have left is Tranferville (Richlands), dad said that I laughed! We can win the rest of them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) HAHA!! Â There is a weight limit in little league but by high school there is no weight limit. At that point all the players are big boys and are expected to play like it. Â Â haha, I just noticed he misspelled tranSfer, I was trying to figure out what a tranfer is?

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Actually, I think there's some rec leagues around here that don't even have weight limits (or less strict weight limits), which is why the WCAA teams (Battle's kids) only play Bristol's kids and not the rest of Washington County or anyone else. Our weight limits are too strict compared to some others. But weight limits in high school? lol. Didn't Gate City move one of their linemen to running back a year or two ago?

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Haysi has been known to move a big, athletic linemen into the backfield. Not as a gimmic but to give the offense more power/better blocking. Â In '03 Aaron Gilbert moved from Tackle to Fullback to lead block for Ryan Jones, that has Haysis most power oriented running game in, well maybe ever. Gilbert was around 240lbs and Jones was about 210lbs. Â That same year Haysi played Rye Cove in the playoffs and when the game had been decided they put a linemen in the backfield at Fullback, kid must have been 6'4" and 280lbs. He absolutely crushed Haysis second team Defense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Happy Valleys running backs weren't any bigger than your average backs around here. Bigger than some, but smaller than quite a few. According to their website: Â 5 Jaylen Simmons RB/LB JR 5'11" 221 30 Zack Ball RB/LB SR 6'3" 183 and look at the size of this monster FB: Â 32 Landon Baker RB/LB SR 5'8" 160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNIONFAN 10 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 We had the Myers twins running in the backfeild my senior year over here at Appy!!! Â And those fellas were HUGE. 300lbs each easily. Not to mention that Patrick Henry had a fella named Mongo that weighed over 300. Lebanon had a McGlothlin Kid that was 220 or more in the 90s.
