Yep, Clintwood has been without a championship in football for so long that they have forgotten what it is like. Just remind me as to how long it has been since Clintwood has held a championship football trophy.
"Wow!! I'm just glad somebody else noticed and said it. There are a few players on that team have tons of heart and would do anything to win, but the majority are just there to be seen on the field"
Watch their evenings- they aren't there 3 hours a night just "to be seen" . Appy is having troubles getting used to the idea that the man that took 25 boys and played with everybody ,isn't in town anymore. A lot understand and just keep quiet, but ...well, some have to make comments. This group of coaches want to run an "I" and these kids were raised playing Tom's balanced "T". Take them out of it and they are like fish out of water.

I think I'd have to agree.
I think its going to be much tougher for a team to win a state championship in Div II than Div I.

Yep, Clintwood couldn't make it in D-2, so they thought they would try D-1

With your opinion of the sorry kids and coaches, why would you bother to ask. Remember talking about all the heavy smokers on the team?
It actually was a very smart move on Travis' part. He went to a school that has absolutely no whatsoever in football, except for losing. No expectations for him at all. Maybe he can help build a tradition for them down there and finally get the OLD Jonesville-Pennington blood out of them and make them a force to be reckoned with.
I understand exactly why Travis went to Lee High. Perhaps he can fix them, he and Bobby. It just makes me wonder why someone(abcc) that hates Appy so much would bother asking about him or any of the kids.
I heard at last weeks ball game that Travis may be back at Appy next season (A SB member has a spot promised to him if he wants it)
I don't agree CVCgrad. I think it's alot harder to win state in Division 1 then Division 2. I base this on the same fact that I belive State championships will become harder and harder for Region D to obtain. With more and more teams playing down, the eastern end of the state will always have the numbers. Everyboy talks about JI Burton losing three in a row. Look at the teams thay lost to. Burton has never had half the school population of their opponents. Applalachia teams of yesteryear had a lot of heart, and they played with heart, but the bottom line is, if I can choose my starting eleven from 25 or 75, sorry I 'll take the 75. Ultimately you end up with small D1 schools playing against Region A or B schools that if they were in the Region D could be Division 2 or Division 3. I don't believe you can win consistently(championships) year in year out without the numbers.
Still, I feel for the small schools. They at a disadvantage. That is why it's sweet when they win.
Equal time will be given for rebuttal
