Clintwood-Haysi thoughts

Things Clintwood Needs to improve on
1. Line
2. Holding on to the ball

Clintwood fumbling the ball every three plays will keep them from winning a lot of games I think they can win. I think they are a good team but little things like that will kill them. The refs tonight gave clintwood a lot of fumbles back they clearly lost. Clintwood cannot count on such generosity every game. I do however think with a little work they could be a contender in the LPD. I really liked the fact they didn't just bend over and take it...they demanded a reach around. They were beat but still showed a lot of heart.

#7 is chad barton. Great ball player but I don't think I ever saw him hit anyone after the play unless he was smacking them on the butt.

By the way the officiating was terrible tonight.

Timmy V is such a pansy hahaha "Chad Barton hit me..I'm a wide receiver so I shouldn't be hit." Suck it up. I've never heard anyone whine about being hit IN A FOOTBALL GAME so much. Last time I checked football WAS a contact sport. But I don't know...i'm not a doctor.

Haha call me whatever you want i dont care. Ask every wide reciever from clintwood about what he did. Football is a contact soport but not one where you are supposed to get thrown to the ground by your helmet after the whistle is blown.

Met Ironlung at the game, we didn't talk just hi and shook hands pretty much.

I do beleive that Colley put it cost after the first quarter and being up 27-6. He did know he had the far better team and didn't want to come out and throw 60 up for no reason especially when it is a team that you play every year and there will be times when the tables are turned and you don't want your players to be on the receiving end.

You tellin me you'd rather go to Hayseed or Clintwood than go to a fine location like Ewing or Nora?

The Cumberland District has much finer venues. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If there was any doubt about who was ready for this game, you only needed to hear the roar coming from the Haysi lockerroom before they came on the field. This is a team fired up and for good reason.

I think most knew that Haysi owned this game from the first possession. This really was a huge mismatch in terms of size, strength, and power. Credit has to go to a Clintwood team that didn't give up. It could have easily been a 50 or 60-0 shutout.

I agree Haysi should have the BDD locked down and has to be considered a strong contender for the Region D championship again. If so, its gonna be a bitter pill to swallow for Clintwood in this rivalry. Will Haysi win the State Championship? I'd be surprised because the level of competition is so much higher now in the rest of the state. But never say never.

But I don't think anyone can deny that the tide has turned in Dickenson County. The era of Ralph Cummins and the legacy of state championships for Clintwood fades a little more everday. Some would say those days will never be seen in Clintwood again. For Haysi, however, their day in the sun may have just begun.
