The only thing I have heard is Clinch Valley, but its hard to tell.
That would be good, I'm old enough to remember the old CVD,
The Clinch Valley seems to be what is being bounced around the most it could also be called the Highlands since every school in it was a member of the Highlands at one time and the AA Highlands will be no more starting next year. I kind of like the CVD myself and I really like the 4 district region for tournament sports I am really looking forward to it
So far in the voting for Week 1, we have:
Unanimously selected -
J.I. Burton over Castlewood (20-0 votes, 100%)
Appalachia over Rye Cove (20-0 votes, 100%)
Powell Valley over Lee High (20-0 votes, 100%)
Richlands over Gate City with the voting 19-1, 95% saying the Blue Tornado will win. The lone vote for Gate City was BlueWreckingCrew [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Clintwood over Grundy with the voting also 19-1, 95% going for the Greenwave over the Golden Wave. The lone vote for Grundy was everyone's favorite guy from Big Stone Gap [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] PVFAN.
In the Pound-Ervinton pick, 60% chooses the Rebels over the Wildcats with a 12-8 vote.
55% has Twin Springs defeating Coeburn in a close vote, 11-9.
Then the matchup that seems to be equally divided by those on the forum, J.J. Kelly & Patrick Henry both receiving 10 votes. Sounds like this game could be one worth watching!
Kelly 14, PH 6
Richlands 28 GC 7
Burton 66 CWood 6
PV 48 Lee 14
Appy 32 Rye Cove 6
Ervington 21 Pound 7
Clintwood 21 Grundy 18
Coeburn 24 Twin Spring 21
I hate to say it, but I almost went with PVFan on that one. Especially if the Green team decides to turn the ball over on offense a dozen times.
I agree saw a bit of the Grundy film from last week and Grundy IS a better team than they were last year and some of the things that they do well have given us problems so far this year. Add to that the fact that they have several really Tall wide outs that will give our shorter DBs problems, And a solid D that likes to bring the house (usually a problem for a young O-Line)
I am glad this one is at home since maybe the ride over will get 2 or 3 of the Grundy kids sea sick LOL
Word that I have got from people I know up that way is that they may be worse off this year than last. The loss of key skill players plus some kids who were out for the team last year didn't come out this year, plus quite a few decided to quit after coming out.
They may be able to mount a challenge against the Greenwave, but from several people in Grundy I have spoken with they believe it's doubtful.
I heard they are only dressing like 30 players. That seems a little low for Grundy.
That sounds a lot like what I heard as well. From my understanding, if those who had played last year had came out again & if those that did come out and quit had stayed, they would have had 40-45 on the roster.
I know Grundy is young and inexperienced this year, but you never know - that's why they play the game.
