redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) any details on SC? I tried to look some stuff up on the VHSL website and it wouldnt load. I think they are the Tigers, colors red and blue. From the Tri-Rivers District Enrollment, style of offense, style of defense, anything. Does the travel time/distance restriction not apply this far into the playoffs? Edited November 27, 2011 by redtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wave316 64 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 How is that even possible? I assume lots and lots of turnovers for Covington? Even though they are 12-1 they are ranked below Clintwood in Power rankings according to VHSL Reference site ...guess strength of schedule comes into play here...heard they run a spread offense ,,kind of like East Mont of last yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoard 18 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sussex Central stats: QB Tyquan Johnson (37 of 72 passing, 878 yards, 11 TDs, 6 INTs, 5 two-point passes, 52 for 234 rushing, 6 TDs), RB Darian Curley (82-825, 13 TDs, 3 two-point runs), RB Jeronte Langford (35-605, 7 TDs), RB Dequan Turner (47-468, 10 TDs), RB Brian Crockett (41-343, 3 TDs), WR John Jones (9-306, 5 TDs). Scouting report: Covington has a long trip to Sussex County to face a program that has enjoyed immense success. ... Sussex defeated Bath County for the 2003 Division 1 state title under Jefferson after losing to the Chargers in the final in 2001. ... The Tigers won eight straight regional championships from 1987 to 1994, defeating Lebanon 56-6 in the Division 2 final. ... Sussex runs a multiple offense, including some spread passing and even the wishbone. ... The Tigers' lone loss was 12-8 to Group AA Brunswick. ... Sussex scored a season-high 68 points against Northumberland. ... Covington faces a five-hour trip, thus the Saturday game. ... The Cougars are looking for their first state semifinal berth since losing to J.I. Burton in 1998. ... Covington won the full Group A championship in 1984. ... The winner will play one of the two survivors in the Division 1 West Section. ---- Although they run some spread, make no mistake, Sussex has generally relied on a run-first, power-based offense -- a lot like Franklin, which Clintwood fans should be familiar with. The only time I've ever seen Sussex play was in that 2003 title game vs Bath. It sounds like from the write-up above, they still play a very similar style and they still have the same coach. I found it interesting that the QB and one of the RBs had combined for eight two-point conversions prior to the Covington game. One thing I recall from that game vs Bath was that they had NO kicking game. They even went for it on 4th and long from their own 20 or so because they kept screwing up punts.

Ironlung 10 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 heard they run a spread offense ,,kind of like East Mont of last yr Not even similar. As hoard said, they are a run first team. They run out of the spread and what passing they do is more short stuff to backs. Think more Florida with Tebow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stainless 10 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) From what I have seem the D1 Eastern Division is just weak. Clintwood, GW and Galax would dominate all the teams from the Eastern. I would love to see a Clintwood Galax final in D1 Edited November 27, 2011 by stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 From what I have seem the D1 Eastern Division is just week. Clintwood, GW and Galax would dominate all the teams from the Eastern. I wouldn't quite go that far. Sussex will be solid I about guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye 32 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Had the oppurtunity to watch Covington a couple times. I'm there once a month for military manuvers. They had some special athletes this year but are poorly coached and have very few players. Can't take anything away from what they were able to accomplish but wouldn't take anything from this game. All of the teams from the west would have beaten Covington with the running game. Won't sell Sussex short but believe that Clintwood can control the pace of the game. How clintwood handles they trip will be the major factor here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Covington wasn't a good team. They lucked out by having an easy schedule and then play two teams they had already beaten in the playoffs. They're probably on par with Twin Springs or Holston in football this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wave316 64 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 ...led Covington 74-8 at the half today. Won 88-8. Give em hell Clintwood. GW scored 73 points on Twin Springs ...probably could have scored a 100 I suppose.. That's just 15 less than Sussex Central... Clintwood held GW to 13 points .. Clintwood will go into the game well prepared to shut down Sussex's offense .. Should be a good game...hope I can make the trip!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Does the travel time/distance restriction not apply this far into the playoffs? no, since all semis & finals games are pre-set for Saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I hope Clintwood makes a stop at the D-Day Memorial, and Appomattox Court House on the way. They would be nice stops and are both just off 460. Good luck, and be ready for speed from Sussex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
