I totally disagree. There is no way in the world that Haysi would have had a chance against Franklin. Franklin was the biggest AND fastest team that I have seen in a long time. They're running back, Donielle Babb had the <span style="color: #FF0000">potential</span> to become one of the best running backs to come out of the state of Virginia.
Haysi has had some good tems in the past few years but I seriously doubt if they could have beaten Burton in Div 1.

I doubt that. Norton would have beaten them in the regionals.

Norton was definitely better in '06. I'm convinced that Haysi was the better team in '04 and '05. '03 would be hard to say...based on common opponents I would have to give Haysi the slight edge that year as well. '06 was probably the best team Norton's had in 30+ years and maybe ever. Haysi in division 1 last year would not have affected the outcome of anything except maybe Appy being the runner up.

Last year yes but not in 05 or 04 IMHO Haysi would have won both of those years

**imported_biggamesjames** · June 18th, 2007, 01:27 PM

Yeah I don't think they could've handled Babb either. I just felt they would've matched up better against Franklin than against WC. Franklin was pretty much a one man show and Haysi does pretty good against those types of teams traditionally. I do believe Haysi would've beaten Burton in both of those years though('04 and '05).

**imported_biggamesjames** · June 18th, 2007, 01:28 PM

I think Counts and I see things pretty much the same way.

**imported_Counts** · June 18th, 2007, 01:39 PM

Yep while looking at common opponents is not always the best way to go lets look at the 04 season

Castlewood - Norton Wins 42-0 Haysi Wins 36-0 (Both teams beat them like a rented mule)

Twin Valley - Norton wins 61-12 Haysi Wins 57-0 (Again both teams win EASY)

Hurley - Norton wins 53-6 Haysi Wins 43-0 (Both teams would still have to be considered equles)

Pound - Norton wins 7-0 Haysi wins 30-6 (Norton was one blown coverage and a 2pt conversion from loseing that game while Pound was a road bump for Haysi)

Clintwood - Norton loses 14-0 Haysi wins 21-14 (a 7 point win vs a 14 point loss advantage Haysi)

Haysi missed the Div2 playoffs in 04 with a 9-1 record but IMHO would have been playing in the state game had they been in Div1

**imported_biggamesjames** · June 18th, 2007, 01:43 PM

You are absolutely right Counts. Haysi was atleast a TD better than the state runner up in Div 1 and they didn't even make the playoffs in div 2 that year.

Heck, if RC had been D1 that year, Haysi would have been in the D2 playoffs, and in my opinion, RC would have given JIB a run for their money in the D1 title game.
