A Month Away!

I kind of think even if Kelly is vastly improved, be it fundamentals or whatever, that doesn't really prepare you for Haysi. You never know what they are going to throw at you, and normally you think that teams are pretty 'vanilla' at the beginning of the season, then you play Haysi and they come out with a playbook the size of several small European countries [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I'd not take the bet with 14 vs them at Sandlick. I'm kind of like Counts in that I can never read them, and almost every year we say they should have a fall off, but then they turn around and don't.

Don't take the bet, then if you win, you still get to gloat [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I know what you mean about never being able to tell with Haysi. The Tigers had me shaking my head last year when they lost to Lee. We played the Gens last game of the season and made them look bad (was worried about them based on Haysi game). That's the wonderful part about high schol football I suppose.

If the schedule is the same as last year, kelly that is,,I see them beating Pound, Cove, and Coeburn. The rest of the teams they play should take them.

Haysi lost some very significant players to graduation this past year. They had a couple of really good lineman graduate and they will also have a new tailback and quarterback. They will have probably the top fb/lb in the region though and have one of the area's top tight ends and also one of the best kickers around. With their schedule I would say they go 8-2. The Lee game last year was an aberration and I seriously doubt that will happen again. I think they lose to Clintwood and Honaker but will be competitive in both games. I don't see that playing at Sandlick really matters that much. Traditionally Haysi has been about the same on the road record wise as they have at home. Their field is middle range quality and maybe even slightly above average when you compare it to other teams in the region. About like everybody else it is in good shape in september and october and not so good in november and beyond. It's a pretty fast track though because it doesn't have alot of lumps or divits like you will find at alot of schools in the area.

I actually think Kelly has a shot to get off to a 5-1 start. I don't think it will happen though because I think they will most likely lose to Grundy but I think they can get a win over RC(should be a good game) and atleast be 4-2. They will probably lose their last 4 though by pretty good margins.

Wise has a ways to go. Their QB is real good, but he can't win the games by himself. Haysi-35-14

I wish Kelly all the best this season, hopefully they catch a few breaks and win some big ball games.

Top fullback over Miles? He was 1st team all state last year.

Honistly I would have to say yes Powers was a better FB (Not taking anythink away from Miles both he and Bright from Coeburn and Appys FB were as good and any team could hope to have)
