UVA-Wise - Univ. of Cumberlands

Very true .. at that level of play it probably wouldn't happen (and if so, rarely), HOWEVER at the high school level I remember one year that it happened was in '03 with Appy.

In '02, Appy was 8-2 in the regular season (having whooped MANY teams) and traveled to the state championship game (though they were blown out by an extremely powerful William Campbell team.)

In '03, Appy was 1-9 without a chance in the world of making it to the playoffs.

Talk about crazy! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I doubt stuff like that would happen very often though .. I remember reading in the papers afterwards, and seeing that Tom Turner had said that the 2003 season was the worst at Appy since he'd been there. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]


Sorry if this is a bit off-topic.. just thought I would give an example of one MAJOR turnaround in terms of consecutive years.

Oh no doubt it happens just with some of the wins UVA-Wise had earlier in the year (over a few not so great teams) and going by what Cumberlands did to them last year, didn't expect them to win. Wish they had but glad to see it was a good game.
