Week 2

**Counts** · September 1st, 2009, 08:52 AM

Tazewell @ Gate City-It sounds like GC is now a bigger version of what Appy used to be and will try to use ball control and a good kicking game and great D to beat teams that MAY have more talent (not meaning that as a knock against them at all) I was impressed that GC shut down the Richlands Spread last week but fully expect it this week ----------GC by 7

Giles @ Christiansburg-Giles was upset last week but I look for them to get back in to where they were expected to be this week -------Giles by 14

Appalachia @ JI Burton-Is Appy really at a level that they can compeat with Burton? even with there new players I do not think Appy can contain Burton Speed Wise (they may not give up as many 60+ yard TDs but Burton will be happy to grind it out 25 yards a pop

) IMHO this is a charter building game for Appy they are without a doubt a better team this year than they have been the last few seasons but they need to stay togethar if this week does not go well in order to have a good season-----Burton by 28

Richlands @ Honaker-It will be a long night for everone involved-------Richlands by 42

Clintwood @ Haysi-How good is Haysi? I honistly do not think anyone knows the word is that they lost a scrimage to Pound (they must be bad) to haveing a 32-0 1st half against Pound in there benifit game.......Haysi will attack Clintwood with there passing game if Clintwood can keep good coverage with Haysi's speedy recevers they will be OK.....the game is at Sandlick again this season which is usaly good for a 7 point swing-------Clintwood by 14

Game of the week

Lebanon @ Powell Valley-Big game for BOTH teams with the winner haveing an early lead in playoff points (With Wise and Va High looking good early this season there could very well be a good team sitting at home come playoff time)----PV by 7

I'm not that worried about the playoffs this year, in terms of a good team getting left out. The BDD will not send a D2 game freeing up a spot that most times is in serious doubt for most of the year.

Is Sullivan Central better than they usually are this season or something?

VHS is improved but there not where they will be in a few years imo. PV would've beat them by 3-4 scores in that scrimmage on most nights imo. They got burnt deep twice that let VHS back into it. I think it will be one hell of a fight for the last playoff spot between VHS and JJK. LPD out of conference wins will be huge this season.

Since nobody else has mentioned it,there's another big game Friday night (every game in the LPD is big): Pound visiting JJK. It's no secret that over the years,this has been the "red-letter" game for Pound. The "Cats always play the Tribe tough,and I fully expect to see a hard-fought,hard-hitting game. I think in the end though,the Tribe has too many weapons for the folks from Pound. The guys at Pound have shucked some weight and gotten themselves a bit quicker. They are going to need that Friday night to try to run down McArthur and friends. Kelly gets it 27-13.

Not so sure about that the last 3 years have been 80-14 in favor of Kelly IMHO If Kelly does not win this one by at least 28 points it would have to be viewed as a disapointment

As for my pick I think Kelly keeps rolling toward a Div 2 playoff birth and wins this one by 35
