No, I really think its a possibility that no CD team goes unbeaten in the district. RC has owned Coeburn in past few years, and plays a lot better D than Coeburn. If RC can block a little they will be okay in the district. This will be a big week for them against Castlewood. Really RC, CW, Coeburn, and TS are probably pretty even.
I just noticed you have more posts than me now. So, I guess you're more knowledgeable, so I concede. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
HAHA.
I must agree with Lung in this situation. I think Coeburn has a great chance to dominate the CD. Sure, an injured Kelly team beat them pretty handily, but from what I saw and judging from the scores of other Cumberland teams, I think they should defeat Castlewood and will easily sweep St. Paul. I don't see Rye Cove posing any major threats to them. I think Castlewood will give them just as good of a game. There just aren't many 'prospects' in the Cumberland that seem to pose major threats to Coeburn at this time, so I predict that this year they'll take it all the way in their district.
At the same time, I agree with lpd_blue that if Coeburn does squeeze through as Cumberland champs and land a playoff spot, chances are they'll get smashed by whoever they are up against, especially if it happens to be Burton. They just don't seem to be a playoff-caliber team at this time. Plus, we saw what happened to St. Paul last year in the playoffs when they tried to take on Burton, and it wasn't pretty.
More than likely, whatever CD team that makes the playoffs gets rolled. Its just that neither team is really that much better than the other. If I had a favorite it would probably be Castlewood because they probably have the best QB/RB tandem. TS has the best WR/Athlete in Jordan. RC has the best overall backfield probably in Barnette, Vikara, and Parker, but bad OLine play. TW has a good QB and athlete. Coeburn has a horse too, but theres no real seperation IMO.
From what I have seen, Coeburn should beat everyone in the district by at least 2 td's except maybe CW, and I haven't been able to get a read on TW, they seem to be hit or miss so far this season.
I just don't think there's a defense in the Cumberland that will be able to stop Shane Bright. The Knights are going to ride that horse to the CD title (especially if they get healed up and give him a blow or two at LB).
I don't like looking at Power points till most everyone have played 5 games
Based on Scheduleing Castlewood will PROBABLY finish the year with no more than 2 losses meaning that if another Cumberland team wins the District the CD MAY have 2 team in......Haysi/Honaker will deside who gets the BDD Playoff spot this week If Haysi loses that game they can still pull out a Playoff spot if they run the Table which other than the Lee game is all but a done deal.....Hurley can very well finish 8-2 due to a cherrey picked schedule
In Div 2 Honakerr has IMHO a 50/50 shot at Haysi and unlike Haysi i think Honaker HAS to win this game to have a shot at the playoffs
The CMD will without a doubt put 2 teams and possable 3 teams in the playoffs IMHO GC and Lebanon, Va High, and Lee filling out the last 1-2 spots
PV and Wise will battle it out for 1 spot (however both COULD make it) If PV and Wise end up with equil records PV should out point Wise but if Wise ends the season with a better record it will be TIGHT
Right now it is 2 early to tell much of anything however in 2 more weeks things will start to clearing up a bit
Don't underestimate the possibility of PV winning the district.
Like you said, its still WAY early...The thing to keep in mind is that Clintwood and Burton, probably more than any other big time team, are always a heartbeat of away from a season changing injury.
Who has Haysi played and look at the rest of their schedule. They might play 2-3 teams with a winning record for the whole season
