??? is hurley for real or just strength of schedule

I think its a little of both. They have played some pretty bad teams and probably won't have much to show against Honaker and Haysi, but they have improved and if they make the playoffs could win a game as long as they don't have to play Burton the first round.

Hurley seems like they can usually give Haysi a pretty good run, but can't do the same against Honaker. I've always wondered why that was?

I've never seen hurley give us a good run hahaha

I thought the last two games were kind of close?

Yes, Unaka, Ervington, Montcalm, and Thomas Walker is a soft schedule, but Montcalm is 4-1 (only loss is to Hurley and they have never won more than 3 games in a season in 11 years) so I think it is safe to say they are better than usual walkover fare.

However, no team Hurley faces will be on the same level as Haysi nor Honaker. And that will probably be the biggest difference maker.

Well, that is def. true about calling in the scores wrong. Those ppl are crazy. Last year we beat them like 38-6 and they called the score in as if they won big.

hahaha if you count the score they called in instead of the actual one then yeah

Yeah I saw that last year when WCYB reported Hurley had beat Honaker like 37 to 8 or something and I was like what???

Its been a very long time since Hurley played Haysi a close game...you can rest assured on that, they may be able to do it this year though.

where do u guys play hurley at this yr bigjames

I'm not sure who calls in the scores to WCYB (I am keeping stats for Hurley this season and my only calls are to Bristol and Bluefield papers, not WCYB), but I don't see anybody on the staff calling in the wrong score intentionally. As I have found when dealing with the newspapers, they get in such a rush to get your stats and hang up, they screw up half of what you tell them.

The last two seasons, Hurley's closest game with either set of Tigers was last year against Haysi. 43-0 at the end, but it was 15-0 at halftime and Haysi had there share of problems against Hurley until our FS went out. Of course, the final score is a bit inflated as Haysi kicked two onside kicks after going up 29-0 and 36-0, recovering both, and scoring TDs afterward.

Granted, that doesn't seem close to many, but it was the best defense I had seen Hurley play all last year and if our offensive coaching had been worth a snot last year, Hurley has 2 TDs at halftime. Haysi still comes out and wins the game, but I'd have felt a lot better if we had scored on ya'll.

As for Honaker, they always seem to come out and play heads and shoulders above Hurley. Honaker always seems to be at there best against us, and we always seem to be playing so-so ball. We seem to fumble a lot against them. Hopefully, that trend will change this year.

Well, your hopes will be dashed, because that won't happen this year either.

We play em at that damn cliff

Those aren't onside kicks those are just half assed kicks. We're afraid to kick deep

C'mon OTF, you already know we're gonna continue our fumblitis this year? Gee, such a killjoy you are.

Hurley scores versus Haysi since 2001:
'04 43-0 Haysi
'03 57-6 Haysi
'02 32-0 Haysi
'01 44-8 Haysi

Hurley results versus Honaker since '01
'04 49-14 Honaker
'03 47-12 Honaker
'02 40-0 Honaker
'01 57-8 Honaker

Honaker won by a larger margin of victory in 01 and 02 but Haysi won by the larger margin in '03 and '04 but its relatively even through all 4 years as you can see.

as i said before tigers better not take hurley light .(haysi or honaker).
