I hope gc and central play a little bit this weekend.

Word out of Wise is that many are unhappy with the coaching situation and some blame Pound with this issue IMHO if Central finises in 4th place in the LPD them things could get ugly in the offseason

Union seems to be comming together quite nice and will without a doubt be a tough team that could give GC a run for the top spot in Div2 region D (Not sure what the rest of the West Section has comming back this season)

Norton should be the pre season favorit comming into the season and would have PROBABLY got ALOT more press if not for the Union and Central situation

Clintwood IMHO should be on par with last seasons team but I do not think that they will have the depth that they did last season which will hurt......That being said with there schedule being what it is they should be well prepared for a deep run into the playoffs

All in all I think that it is a no brainer to say that all 4 LPD teams will make the playoffs but I will go a step further and say I think all 4 teams will make it past the 1st round as well (with even money that all 4 are still in after 2 weeks assumeing they do not get matched up with eachother)

Luckily the kids aren't worrying about a few disgruntled so-called adults. The kids are very fond of Jay and are busting their asses for him and will be ready to play. I really do believe this squad will put it together and do well. Sometimes the "grown-ups" should take a hard look in the mirror and realize they are embarrassing themselves by acting as they are,and they could stand to learn a lesson from the kids

love the fact that GC and Pulaski are in that scrimmage. Shoving around some weaker team will not benefit Central.

i havent heard much on central but i wish the best ofr them. they have an opportunity to do well if the "Grown ups" stay out of the way and dont turn it into another Lee high. Pennington and Jonesville were both football powerhouses then with their consolidation came idiot people wanting to run things and not allow coaches to coach. It still goes on at Lee High. IMHO Lee High is a school that should have had atleast 3 state championships, but "politics" ruined most of their chances. I hope that doesnt happen at Central. As for Union coming together, it has amazed me how much appy people are now supporting the program. I was expecting it to be a huge mess but thank god it is coming together nice. durring RR days in appy last week they had two events for union players and both communities came out in support of that team in huge numbers. Not gonna lie, i havent seen bsg or appy this excited about football since the mid 90s. (im in no way comparing Union to the glory teams of appy and pv, just saying that the fans are finally on fire for highschool football again) should be interesting to see if a seat will be empty on the home side at bullit park for the home games

The problems wont come now. They'll come when Bobby Joe from PV is starting over Jimmy Joe from Appy or vice versa. It'll take at least a 4 year cycle to get all of those dolts out of the program and out of the stands to where Union can really be united.

iIt still goes on at Lee High

No more so than just about every school around here.

No, but it will provide a beaten and battered ego. All I hear around Wise is how great this team is going to be (not saying that you personally have) and I just do not see it. Hopefully, I'm wrong; it's a no-win situation for Central and Union in the LPD. If they don't finish 1-2 in every major team sport it's an embarrassment as far as I'm concerned.

What I have heard mostly from you (and several others) is how bad the Warriors are going to be. I'm not crowning them state champs,but they will be much better than most think they will be. I've not been hearing anybody from Central saying that (you are welcome to check the message boards where you will not see it either). However we have heard much about how good Union will be

For the first scrimmage, I disagree, I think you need be able to come out and execute and build a little bit of confidence before the 2nd scrimmage or at least play someone of equal talent. The 2nd scrimmage, IMO, is where you should test the limits a little to see exactly where you need to improve before the opening game. Getting thumped by 20 or 30 points isn't going to help in any way, shape, form, or fashion IMO. I think the best way to schedule a scrimmage is with someone you are equivilant too talent wise, that way you truly see your worth, however, generally those teams are ones you play in the regular season and it is hard to schedule those 1 or 2 teams you match up well against.

Honestly, though, nobody really shows anything at the scrimmages or jamboree's, it is nothing more than a glorified practice to where you get to hit someone else other than a teamate.

Central will finish last in the LPD, I'm not sure how that is very good. FWIW, it's just the honest truth; Union should be better in football. In baseball, it will be the exact opposite. I think short term Central is in better shape in baseball than Union is in football.
