redtiger 1,744 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well its here, one of the biggest games for both of these squads. Heres my quick rundown of both teams, Haysi - easily the best Haysi team ive seen since '06. I know they have only played one game and that was against Castlewood and it took Haysi a while to get it going. But still, once they worked the bugs out they looked really smooth on offense, very balanced running and throwing the ball and less shotgun than I have seen Haysi run in a long time. The Tigers have a Big OL(for the 1st time in awhile), a couple of solid Fullbacks and one of the best Runningbacks in SWVA. Add to that a smart, mobile QB and a very talented WR and Haysi is as potent as ever on offense. Defensively this group is AGRESSIVE and gang tackles, what they lack in size they more than make up for it other ways. Colleys Cats are gonna be ready to play! Clintwood - for those that don't know, this isint the Greenwave of old. This group likes to throw the ball, and for good reason. They have several good WRs (#5 is a great athlete) and the only QB in SWVA w/ a State Title under his belt. In addition the Wave has a big solid OL with a lot of experience. As always, the boys from the west side of DC can run the ball, they bring 2 RBs with very different skill sets but both are very effective. Defensively, its Clintwood, need I say more? Tough, aggressive, and VERY well coached. One advantage that Clintwood definitely has is depth, this is the smallest roster for Haysi in the past 32 years. This is definitely one of the most overlooked rivalries in SWVA, there may not be 10,000 people in the stands but this is as big as it gets in our little corner of the state. This will be as evenly matched as these two have been in almost a decade. Its gonna be a real humdinger in The Jungle this Friday night!

redtiger 1,744 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 The Ervinton boys have settled right in on both teams (that makes me proud). This will be a rough one for me, this will be the last time Clintwood comes down to Haysi. I truly believe Haysi is "under the radar" right now and after this Friday everyone will have a little more respect for the Tigers, I don't know if they will win or not but I truly believe it will be close. Im looking forward to this one as much as any game in recent memory. Give James Colley 2 weeks to prepare and any defense is going to have their hands full. One thing is for sure, Clintwood is a top notch team again this season. I would say right now they have to be considered the #2 A West program (Fort Chiswell has to be considered #1 imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwood78 161 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 but the way........... i question your " some time in clintwood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counts 156 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Haysi will have a tough time running on the Wave D it will be up to the Haysi QB to keep the chains moveing (I think that the TE possition for them in this game might be the key to there success) On the other Side Clintwood does not seem to have big punishing running backs that they have had in the past but there Right Tackel and TE are as good a two blockers as anyone in single A will see this seasonwith the rest of the line being solid if not road graders. I dont think that Clintwood can just line it up and beat a team like Haysi to death between the tackels as they have done over the last few seasons and a good play calling mix of run and pass will be key to there success. Both teams have the same BIGGIST weakness......depth an injury to eather team to a key position in the week leading upto this game could tip the scales in favor of the other........All things being even with the game at Haysi I look for Clintwood to come away with a hard fought win by 2 TDs cwood78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,744 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Good break down and right on at all points. The Wave OL is solid and those 2 are special. All State level players. It will be a hard fought game OrangeStreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwood78 161 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 while at the breaks interstate park, alotta talk about the game at the lodge, haysi personnel seemed nervous....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,744 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 hahaha were not nervous about facing Clintwood, Haysi doesn't have any pressure, if the Tigers can keep it within 3 TDs it will be considered a success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwood78 161 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 oh but yes....................haysi may not, but colley does....(pressure) i look for him to return to.......".trickeration"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeStreak 45 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 oh but yes....................haysi may not, but colley does....(pressure) i look for him to return to.......".trickeration".....[/q Colley will have some plays in his back pocket... if the talent is there it will be within 3 TDs... could be competitive...

redtiger 1,744 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 James Colley has ice water in his veins, no pressure will be felt there You talk about "trickeration" like its a bad thing! Without a doubt Sandlick will be a 3 ring circus! Ringling Brothers doesn't have anything on what's gonna be seen Friday night! Haysi will base out of some conventional sets and that will make up the majority of the play calls but I have a feeling that there will be some special stuff thrown in there. I haven't seen Coach run any "trickeration" in several years, the time is now! The talent is there to pull it off. As far as "trickeration" talk is concerned, Clintwoods entire offense is "unconventional", by their standards anyway. More than 2 WRs, throwing the ball, from a direct snap set; its not been that long ago that Haysi was crazy for doing that stuff. ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,744 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I sure hope so! you know, Clintwood may throw the ball more than Haysi Friday night. Just give your mind a few seconds to absorb that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
