HHSREBELS 6 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Battle of the Rebels! Thoughts?? I know PH is good and have been good the past few years. Does Hurley's physical play make this a ballgame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags52 344 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 5 hours ago, Widespread_Panic said: I think PH has the easiest schedule in SWVA. Facts! And that is why in the passed with the old playoff system when they had Humphrey Buchanan and the big QB they had they always got bounce early. I think those teams where better but they have a chance to challenge for the region with the brown kid who is hands down the best player on the field in every game they play. With that being said Coach Palmer finds a way in win this one easily on the cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBelcher 2 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 5 hours ago, Widespread_Panic said: I think PH has the easiest schedule in SWVA. district: Holston Chilhowie Northwood Rural Retreat non district opponents: Castlewood Eastside Hurley Lee John Battle Honaker no offense to either team but they got TS and RC off schedule and added two stronger teams. Not a cake walk schedule IMO: Battle and Lee both 2A, Castlewood and eastside both on the better half of the Cumberland district, honaker and Hurley are both solid and physical teams every year. Wins don’t dictate the challenge a team poses. Look at the rest of 1D team for team these schedules aren’t that different.

Two teams come to mind for me, but they are appropriate considering the circumstances. It is a decent schedule for a 1a school who is at their cycle's peak.

swvafbrespect 67 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 PH playoff record 5-6 over last 18 years Not sure about the strength of schedule but the teams that bounced the Rebels looks to be the same teams that bounced everyone else. 2018 2-1 lost to state finalist Chilhowie 2017 1-1 Lost to Burton (respected program) 2016 1-1 Lost to GW (lost is state semi) 2015 0-1 upset first round by Bland 2014 1-1 Lost to Galax ( Best 1 A program west side) 2012 0-1 lost to Honaker Optimal62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshreeves 37 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 One thing to remember about PH’s schedule...before Mark Palmer showed up, PH was losing to all these teams and by wide margins. Many games had a running clock at the start of the third quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle and Lee are 2A schools that consistently finish in the bottom of the Mountain District. The rest of the schools on their schedule are far from consistent winners outside of Chilhowie. It will be hard for PH to go far into the playoffs when their schedule doesn't give them much competition. Chilhowie and Burton have schedules that PH should try to emulate.

swvafbrespect 67 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Burton plays in the cumberland which I am guessing is the teams that is in question over the last several years. I think we as fans put too much stock into season schedules. In 1A and even 2A 1 injury can change a season and the real key to playoff success is the health of a team. Chilhowie has played a tough schedule and they have had great success. I wonder what their playoff record would look like over the last 10 years?

Tough schedule or not, PH played toe to toe with Abingdon on film and everybody loves Abingdon on here. Maybe that means something down the road?

Null 17 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can't wait for Ph and Chilhowie to play. Hopefully they are both undefeated at the time to add a little extra excitement to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swvafbrespect 67 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Looking at both schedules if they both stay healthy and continue to improve that is very likely t happen. Have to give the Chilhowie staff and players a great deal of credit of picking up where they left off. But Ph better focus on Hurley because they seem to have an outstanding team.

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I believe this could be a very good game. Hurley will win the BDD if they stay injury free IMO. They have good lineman and 3 solid backs and a good defense to go along with it. Either way I am picking the Rebels to win this one.
