I expect a ceremony, but tonight was the first time they had stepped on that field with a crowd since his passing, and the community is really hurting. I don't think that at least some small recognition would have hurt.

Who is their first home game?
I know they go to Castlewood,Appy, Kelly.. who is their 4th game??
Im not sure. I'm pretty sure we have them the second Friday of the season.
Their gonna be a tough team.
Thomas Walker - Really didn't impress me much at all. They had a few good runs, but that was it. It's gonna be along season for them.
Coeburn - Didn't look bad, but didn't look good either. The other Rb besides Nixon was pretty good. But they had no blocking hardley. The defense was unimpressive missing several tackles.
Kelly - The wishbone they ran was looking pretty good. Sproles and #99 are two good backs. Thier passing game it aint all there, but I guess that was expected. Their defense didn't look to bad against the pass or the run. They still need some improvement, but they will surprise a team or two.
Ervinton - They are a scrappy bunch of kids. Adam Kiser and #23 where to great backs. They could be starters on any team around here. They defense is suspect in areas, but overall not bad. They should make some noise in the CD.
Twin Springs - Really didn't impress me at all. Dockery is a pretty good player and made for good catches. But little to no running game. Defensively they had hard stopping anyone. They made a few turnovers but really couldn't do anything with them. I think Dockery blocked 3 or 4 straight xps against Burton. Just crazy!
Burton - Speed, Speed, and more Speed. They just pick up where they left off from last year. I don't think the loss of Zo or Thacker is gonna hurt them. Jacob Coleman really impressed me tonight. I think had 4 tds. It should have been 5 or 6 but two of them he was called out of bounds. Josh Miles is a tank. There is no one Norton punt on a 4th and 1 or 2 or 3 with Miles back there. Their passing game isn't all there yet, but it should get better with each game. On defense Burton looked good. They just need to learn how to wrap up and make the tackle. They also need to stop talking after making tackles. There was several personal foul calls, that cost them some yards. Also Burton has alot this year and they were platooning which had me and Freddy impressed. Me and him counted about 20 more players out this year then they normally average. With the platooning going that will help keep them fresh longer. But other then that they looked good. I think Burton will give PV and GC a run for the money. They may not win but they wont blowin out either.
Russell Rice, I couldn't remember his name, thanks trio
The first home game,4th overall, should be St.Paul.
The home games should be:
St.Paul
Powell Valley
Rye Cove
Pound
Gate City
Trio, you know it helps to have a guy running your 8th grade team who has been with the program for 15 years and doesn't have his own agenda. He's always been focused on getting the kids ready to play as freshmen even when I helped him for a year, and that was Large's first year there.
"Ervinton, I really think that Ervinton has the best RB in the region, He has great vision and Power.. they also had some other quick backs, I think they kinda limited Kisers carries due to it being preseason, he will have 20-25 carries a game in the reg season, I would say the Rebs win the CD"
That would have to be Parks from GC. It will be really tough for Ervinton to beat RC. They haven't done so in a long long time.
Parks has alot more to work with than Kiser.
I agree tat Kiser is the best back in the region. Were he a senior at PV/GC, God only knows how many yards he would have amassed over his career. 2500+ at a school like Ervinton, with the defenses keying on you (the only weapon they have had) speaks volumes.

Kiser is very good. No doubt about it. Him and Shupe at RC are head and shoulders above every other RB in the CD. Shupe has more speed, Kiser a little more power. Both are smart players.
