I agree with most of the analysis on here...i do wanna say nice job by Clintwood not laying down. they could have very easily mailed it in early and got beat by 40 or 50 but they kept their heads up and hung in there. good sign of things to come from them. i was impressed with the clintwood quickness and speed especially from #28(Osborne I think) he is a keeper. Robinson looks to have a good season as a QB as well. Clintwood had the edge in speed and quickness but Haysi was overwhelmingly more physical especially on the lines of scrimmage. Nearly all of the bone crushing hits in the game were delivered by Haysi players who just appeared to be bigger and stronger than the Clintwood team as a whole. Clintwood has nothing to be ashamed of they will have a fine year in my opinion. The Clintwood defense just didn't have any answers to stop Haysi from eating away clock and methodically driving the ball down the field. I don't think Haysi had a 3 and out the entire night. Also I wouldn't be surprised if this Clintwood team gets better and better as the year goes on. I wouldn't for one second count them out of the LPD mix. Seems alot of focus is being placed on Clintwood's youth and they are young but I don't think people realize that Haysi did have quite a few sophomores and juniors playing big roles in the game. The MVP of the game is a Jr(Powers # 48)

I actually was deadly afraid of the game tonight. Honestly, while BGJ was talking about some at Haysi not taking it seriously, I was afraid some of Clintwoods was too over confident.

I think that Clintwood could improve as much as anybody over the course of the season. Remember I said I didn't know last week if really looked that good or Grundy looked that bad. I mean we dominated the line of scrimmage but what was the competition doing? It's like saying you have a high C average to the person that has a low C average. Yours is better but really how much?

I think if Haysi had stumbled a bit early, Clintwood might could have gotten back in it, but to their credit, they stepped on our neck and kept us down.

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.

I'm sure it seems really bad to get knocked around like that, but compared to some of the teams Clintwood played years ago, it is really kind of mild. Haysi has a very rough, physical team. But, there have been worse. The Appalachia teams of the 80's come to mind.
