They are, but a guy I work with who graduated from Honaker just a few years ago and who's cousin happens to be Logan Ball, told me that he expects them to win 3-4 games, tops. His thoughts on them were that they have a lot of youthful talent, but that's the problem--it's all young right now...no upper classmen to really fill the voids left by the departing class.

And even with that aforementioned departing class, Clintwood drubbed Honaker in that charity preseason game last year and didn't break too much of a sweat doing it--and as we all know by now--Clintwood lost next to nothing off last year's team. Stranger things have happened, and I do expect Honaker to put more quality talent out there than Battle did, but I expect this week to not be much different from last week for Clintwood.

I work with some Honaker folks and they are filling good about there team and have said that with the exception of Ball they should be better at every position this season.

IMHO Honaker will win the BDD and at least half there other games

[imported_bentley]

God I know I shouldn't be commenting on another district in the LPD FORUM, but I recentley spoke to a coach from Haysi who said several interesting things:
1. They're loaded
2. They're going to win the BDD
3.Saving the best for last-They WANT Clintwood.

Number 3-hmmm be careful what you ask for.......

[Slobber Knocker]

August 29 they will get Clintwood.

[R0cketer]

Haysi always wants Clintwood and vice versa
And it will be a tough game, it always is no matter really who is good or who is down or whatever.

It's at Haysi, which makes it that much tougher.

I wouldnt say that clintwood drubbed honaker last year if I remember right Ball fumbeled in the read zone twice if you add those as touchdowns it would have been close

honaker should be solid

haysi vs clintwood will be a better game than most think if you take away Robinsons long run and a few dropped passes by haysi it was a close game last year

I know thats a lot of ifs

Im not tryin to knock clintwood because they are a very good team but everyone is handing them the LPD + Reg D titles lets remember they were 6-4 last year they should be better this year but they need to stay focused and stay on track

haysi PV JIB and lebanon are all capeable of beating them

Those were forced fumbles--he just didn't run to the 10 and drop the football...he got hit both times he fumbled. C. Robinson & Robbins had a field day in the running game against them last season, wasn't too hard to do what they wanted to do.

I hope they are--it makes things more interesting if they are...I was just putting out there what I had heard on them.

True, but as you say here:

Truth. Dennis Green does not need to yell at us to "crown them" yet.

Anyone's capable of beating anybody on any given night. Personally, I think they'll beat Haysi (and as most know, I have fam in Haysi so I'm not just being a hater). PV, JIB, Lebanon, and GC all will be tough games for Clintwood, as will Volunteer though they lost a lot of kids to graduation--the good part is, only PV out of that group is on the road...the rest are at Clintwood. In the regular season last year, they were 6-0 at home. On the road, 1-4. That's very important.
