All this is is a popularity contest which will mean absolutely nothing come December.

For all I know (but very highly doubt) Powell Valley could whomp everyone. Hell, even Pound, which is still very doubtful. No one with their mind on earth would have dreamed that JJK would beat PV in 1999 but they did.

I say PV will make it to second round of playoffs and then get beat out by Gate City or maybe even a vastly improving Lee High team.

In D1 based on what I gather, Clintwood has to be the favorite to come out of Region D and make it to Salem.

Point blank, football in Southwest Virginia isn't what it used to be. Not a knock on the kids here but it is true. As long as we don't get out and work there will not be another Thomas Jones or Julius Jones nor will there be another Jake Houseright or the three Travis' from the Appalachia team in the mid 90s. There will never be another band in the world equal to Nightwish if we don't work for it.
