And now it's like a record of 7-3 or hell even 6-4 is a good season for the two.

No offense to the Burton faithful but back then if someone talked about the possibility of them winning the LPD or even coming in 2nd or 3rd then they would have been laughed at. From 2005-on they have been no worse than 2nd or 3rd. The program's done well.

From 2005-on PV has been in a slow downward spiral. In 2005 they barely missed out on leaving the regionals. In 2006 they just got out of regionals but ran into the brick wall agaisnt Giles. In 2007 they missed out on the regionals again but assuming they lived to see Gretna which could have happened, they would have run into a brick wall like Gate City did.

Then in 08 and 09 they were fortunate enough to even make the playoffs.

Burton and Clintwood had some great teams in the 1990s. Some not so great. With Powell Valley and Appalachia struggling and Gate City leaving the LPD in 07 it has been Clintwood's and Burton's time to shine.
