Yea he looked around to make sure that the refs werent looking and then do it. He was mean but i guess he just liked throwing someone like half his size(me) down a lot. We i cant complain a whole lot i did get a way with blocking him in the back once.

I agree with what was said for the most part. The Haysi O & D lines dominated the game. They're just a much better team right now. Starting only 2 seniors and 1 or 2 juniors against a seasoned team like that can be hard. I think they're the favorites again for the Region D Championship. They play hard fast and just smack you in the face. It reminded me of some of the old Appy teams.

I was pleased with the way our guys kept fighting. It'd be easy to give up down 20 in the first quarter but they stuck with it. That first quarter killed us. We looked like crap in every phase of the game. I thought we played much better for the next three quarters but not near enough to win.

You're out of your mind big boy. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I spent halftime with mr Coeburn Cane. With about 5 to go I watched the rest of the game from the upper fence. Then had to sit in my car for half an hour to get out from behind the 50 dopes that blocked me in. That is the worst parking situation in the world. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

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.
