They are hell bent on running off any coach who gains a modicum of success. It's insane. This is true and sad. I remember when they first consolidated and we're just killing teams in the old Highlands district. For a few years, no one around here could touch them except PV.

They are so lucky to have Joey come back home and he has already made a huge impact and he is the type of coach you don't want to lose.

I agree 100% with the second part, Lee was very fortunate he took the job. It was not a job that many coaches would even entertain. I hope you're right about the first part, Lee deserves to see some Ws and have some fun after being so bad for so long. Those kids work hard as hell, just like all these local kids, hopefully they get to experience some of the rewards of the hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid in BSG, the Battle of the Boot was a LEGIT rivalry. Lee always had some MONSTER linemen and were more than capable of beating PV. From 1991-1996, Lee beat PV three times. PV won two state titles during that time (94-95). They beat the 1994 state title team. They ended a 25 game win streak by PV in the 1996 opener. Made the D4 (4A now) final four in 1997. They were a powerhouse. But then they fell apart and started to run off every coach who managed to win. Since that run that ended in mid 90s, Lee has beaten PV/Union once, 2002. They've went 1-27 against Big Stone since then. A shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue what the upcoming classes look like but I know if there is some talent and their qb is a freshman right now then they will be a problem sooner than later!

They were already on a pretty severe downturn by time I was in HS (although my soph year was the last time Lee beat a BSG team in football) in most sports except girls basketball. They had some good ass teams with the Cluesman sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 As dismal as John Battle is, the Lee/Gate City game coming up Friday night will likely decide the M7’s 4th playoff spot. Now, I think Gate City wins by a few scores, but who could have imagined Lee being in this position 3 weeks ago, riding a 23-game losing streak? What a rebound season for Lee, weaker competition be darned. If Lee can somehow, some way beat Gate City, and Lee gets to 5-5, how could Carroll not be the M7’s COY? He probably should be at 4-6, in all honesty. tiger2001 and redtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to eyeball the math here to see if it works. It is likely that GC and Lee will have the same results against the following opponents: (1) Abingdon (L) (2) Union (L) (3) Ridgeview (L) (4) Central (L) (5) John Battle (W) Those 5 results will wash from a Power Points perspective, so those won't be the deciding factor. Obviously, GC plays Lee. We'll come back to that later. The four different opponents are: (1) Gate City: Richlands (L), Radford (L), Marion (W), Lebanon (W) (2) Lee: Patrick Henry (L), Rye Cove (W), J.I. Burton (W), East Montgomery (W). Richlands likely ends the season at 3-6. Radford likely ends the season at 7-3. Marion likely ends the season at 1-9. Lebanon likely ends the season at 2-8 (1 toss-up game L). Patrick Henry likely ends the season at 8-2 (1 toss-up game W). Rye Cove likely ends the season at 0-10. J.I. Burton likely ends the season at 2-7 (1 toss-up game L). East Montgomery likely ends the season at 4-6 (1 toss-up game L). Excluding their own matchup, the Power Points would shake out like this: Gate City: 11 + 15 + 20 + 22 = 68 Lee: 16 + 18 + 22 + 26 = 82 That's a 14-point disparity. Lee obviously outpoints GC with a win, so we won't consider that. If GC beats Lee, that would make GC 4-6 and Lee 4-6. GC would get 26 points for the win, Lee would get 12 points for the loss. That makes it a dead even tie. It would come down to one of those toss-up games I listed swinging another way (like East Montgomery/Covington, etc.). If the points are dead even at the end, wouldn't GC get the nod based on head-to-head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the points are dead even at the end, wouldn't GC get the nod based on head-to-head? That's about what I have. There's been no official make-up game for PH/Grundy, that I've seen, so that could possibly take away 1 pt from Lee. I think Burton is the most likely toss-up of the toss-ups. If they go beat TW, and all other teams finish as you have listed, that could give Lee a 166 to 165 PPT lead over GC. I still think GC should be favored by at least 2 TDs, but at this point, Lee could very easily take the W Saturday night. And yes, the head to head winner would be the tie breaker.

A win would give either 16 or 18 points, depending on whether a 1A or 2A team plays them. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Lee came to our field in 90 or 91 can't remember which and hammered us 44-14 and had a couple of massive linemen. We went there the next year and was supposed to get blown out. Their coach tooknusnonna tour of the facilities and field as a group and was an outstanding host. We ended winning 14-8 and I remember their coach coming onto our bus as we was leaving and he told us not to let anyone to tell us it was a fluke win that we just out played them. I gained massive respect for that man. What was his name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
