I live in Southside VA and I can tell you that nobody laughs at the LPD. The LPD, from what I have heard, has four really good teams every year. I would go so far as to say that Clintwood would win several districts outside the LPD. There are some districts that are just weak. If I were the PV athletic director, I would bag the Seymour and Breathitt games and go on the road to Regions A & B. Challenge their better teams and just go for it. Talk about racking up power points. It would be a pain for the travel, but everybody would have a better feel for how Class A football is in the other parts of the state. As far as the coaching stuff, I don't know where I stand. The spread is like run and gun basketball. When it's going good, it's genius and when it stinks, people say they would bag it and run all the time. But, what concerns me most are some of the other posts concerning the one man coaching staff, or the QB not having to walk to the fieldhouse after practice. Those things really break morale on a team. Couple that with a tough schedule and there is the possibility for a rough year. I'd like to hear more from those who hang out at the practices and have a feel for the pulse of the program.
