My uncles team didnt even win district this one year but they went and scrimmaged a kentucky team that was like AA-AAA that won state that year and killed em. Virginia is one of the top football states

Not too sure about WV teams but Tenn and Kentucky teams are weak compared to Virginia teams

10-0. That's a goal to set for one's self. However 14-0 should be the goal that all teams set for themselfs. Afterall that's where the gold is. Nobody remembers a 10-0 team that doesn't win that 14th game. 10 years from now, Honakers 9-2 or Gate Citys 12-1 teams last year will not even be a footnote in the VHSL highlight book. Now, if Honaker went 13-1, then 2002 would have always been called the first year Honaker captured the gold. I repect Hurly for wanting to go 10-0, but they seemed to have forgotten the region D championship and the state championship. Yes you can break it down to two seasons, a 10 game season and a 4 game season. I have been watching SWVA high school football for 30 years now, and I have seen alot of teams to look at it that way. But what tends to happen is they also seem to ease up after the first season is over, therefore they enter the second season without that fire that got them there in the first place. Just ask Powell Valley the year that Garden sent them home to pack their pads away for the winter. I hope that I am not the only one on here old enough to remember that game...LOL. Good luck to all of the BDD teams this year.

Thanks colorist. You have to take ballgames a game at a time in my opinion. I Dont like stating goals like 10-0 or 14-0 I like just saying lets win this next game.

You guys seem to have only read the part in the article where Hurley said they had set a goal of going 10 and 0. The other parts of the article said Coach Wayne Hall looked on the internet and found schools that were close by and had weaker football teams that they could hopefully compete against.
