swva_fan 91 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 [ QUOTE ] Note: A 41-yard field goal is the state record? That seems short. [/ QUOTE ] Record is for a AA state title game. also from BDT "Along the way, they tied the record for points scored in a modern-era West Virginia high school championship game. Nitro scored 69 points against Morgantown in 1998. Bluefield broke the Class AA record for points scored - which had been set against BHS by Wyoming East in the 1999 title tilt, a 57-21 win." Wayne QB Newell also set a AA title game record with 212 yards passing. 12 AA title game records were set. Congrats to Bluefield on the win, undefeated 14-0, state champs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I sat in Mitchell Stadium one night three years back and watched Eric Degray kick a 44-yard field goal with relative ease. It does seem short to me, that in the entire history of West Virginia playoffs, the longest field-goal is just 41 yards. That is impressive for a high school kicker, I just figure a 45 to 50 yarder would have been kicked SOMETIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him kicking 40+ yarders back to the net, so the point that 41 is his long is as much a coaching decision to not take a chance on anything that far away. He has decent enough range that more college teams are starting to take notice...I understand some more Division I teams are looking.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 [ QUOTE ] #2 - Bluefield has about 75 yards of total offense but has had a short field most of the night. The reason for that is because of our defense scoring alot of points, i wonder how many points of special teams,and defense scored all together [/ QUOTE ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Pre-game lucas kicked a field goal from the 40 yard line , im not really sure how long that would be all togather. But it looked as if i was good considering how the crowed at team reacted when he kicked and made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the LOS was the 40, the ball would be put down at the 47, and that would be a 57 yard kick. I don't doubt that Stone has 50+ in him, he seemed to be dinking at the 40 yarders in the Weir warmup..so 10 extra doesn't seem to be that hard for him, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 He has a leg i'll give him that.....if anybody watched the AAA game today morgantown's kicker had quite a leg to....6 touchbacks i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 My reference to the playoffs earlier was about the state championship. Four hours of sleep over the course of a semester wears you down. Nevertheless, Stone has the record and the Beavers another championship. Again, congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sources 10 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 I just wanted to say congratulations to all of the Bluefield players from an '02 senior. I've watched you guys grow and develop since your freshman year, and although there has been some rough spots along the way, every one of you seniors deserve this. You are all very hard working, and more importantly, humble. You have all undoubtedly left your mark on this great program. Best wishes.

To think that these kids were freshmen when you were a senior, and then, that you were only a couple years old when I was a senior at BHS...wow. But the thing is, the pride is indeed passed on from generation to generation. Hopefully, the little kids who have been at the games this year will be able to look with pride when they see the 2004 championship trophy when they are seniors in 10 years or so, just as these young men have looked at the pride of the 1997 team, and the 1984 team before them, and on and on...
