Inching closer and closer.
The time for LPD football and two adays. Any break down of the teams?
We know who should be the top 3. PV, GC and Burton.
So what all does the rest return position wise and who is gonna be the dark horse of the district.
If everyone returns my Dawgs should have quite a few back. QB, HB's, and several linemen returning.

Re: Inching closer and closer.
To show how "spaced out" I've been about it this year, I didn't realize until today that practice starts next week. My nephew had his third game tonight of Little League, and I still hadn't thought about it. Good luck to all teams and hopefully everybody will have a safe year. Everybody's undefeated right now, so everybody should be startin to get excited.
Re: Inching closer and closer.
LL has already started? I didn't know that. Are you talking about Gate City LL?
Re: Inching closer and closer.
PV has a lot of returners this year. Only lost 3 last year
Re: Inching closer and closer.
I have a feeling PV could be scary this year. Their QB looked great last year, so I'm sure a year's worth of growth and development will have only helped him...
Re: Inching closer and closer.
Yeah, and the thing is, their QB (Cedric Mitchell) will only be a JUNIOR this year. Yes, a JUNIOR, so he has yet another year even after this one to improve. His throwing ability is extremely impressive to me.. he can really put some strength into his throws and air it out if he needs to.
Let's not forget the two Pinkstons (very fast and tough runners; brothers), Jason Neeley (all-state player on the line), and even Delmas Lawson (extremely talented receiver.. only a Junior I believe.)
And then there are many more players that have potential to be extremely good.
Powell Valley will be loaded this year.. and even after this year, they'll have plenty of room to get better.
Re: Inching closer and closer.
People say Burton will reload not rebuild this year. . They lost 4 players that were a key part of the program for the last 3 years. That will be hard to replace. I think they can replace them and go deep into the playoffs again but It will be a much tougher road this year, that's for sure.
