i thought it was the other way around ... i thought kelly and clintwood played at 5 and pv and burton at 730...
i thought that too wave. i thought the higher seed always plays the early game. i guess things have changed.
There was some confusion on that. Burton's principal sent out an email today that the schedule would be as I have it above since that is the first release that they sent out. Evidently it was sent out as being one way and then changed because I saw it in the newspaper two different ways.
why the change this year from the traditional way? if burton's principal is directing the show, it looks like burton would want to play the later game.
hmmm... they announced at the end of our game the other day that we would play kelly at 5 thurs.... lord they need to get there ducks in a row.... lol
how much does it cost to get in
if norton wins do they play wise at 1 on friday

Kelly's not played Clintwood yet.
i think we all know who will win that one.kelly could proably play their jv team and beat cwood.
does anyone know who is still left in the cumberland district tourney.
thnx raider4life for the encouragement !!!!
[img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] Amen to that, IBAWAVE.
They called the school or coaches late last night and it is changed to 7:30..for whatever reason. Maybe the elite didn't want the first game. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
The way we played vs GC,anything is possible. It is time for JJK to step it up and meet the hype.
Castlewood and Twin Springs are left in the Cumberland. Paper had Twin Springs upsetting Thomas Walker last night.
7-1 TS I believe was the final. Castlewood beat RC 16-7. TS will face Battle next Tuesday and GC will travel to Castlewood.
Scores?
Excuse me, the TS/TW score was 3-1.
Any news on the LPD girls softball finals?
i think pv won in extra's
PV won the softball championship 5-4 in 8 innings on a walk-off solo home run by Tasha Trent.
Semifinal baseball action had Burton beating PV 13-5 and Kelly over Clintwood 13-0 in 5.
Should be a great game on Saturday. Both teams will be anxious to win. Can't wait to see it!
What time is the baseball title game?
did norton and wise play today or is it tomorrow
i reckon they was supposed to play today @1
does anybody know who won and what the score was.
Game is Saturday at 1
Wise won 14 to 2; 5 innings
Boy those grapes must be sour according to the KTN after that game too.
What did the Great One have to gripe about THIS time Stripes?
Said the game was meaningless and said he pitched a kid that had only threw 4 innings in his career. Claimed if the game meant something he would've coached it differently.
when has mack shupe ever thought winning wasn't important.
Just another attempt to down play a loss to Wise. This man never ceases to amaze me. What kind of coach deems a game meaningless at this point in the season? Momentum is key, just ask Gate City. They are riding it into the post season with HUGE wins over VA High and Battle. The Honaker/Burton game will be a good one on Tuesday, but I am very much looking forward to the semi-final matchups!

Were the other 2 games against the Tribe meaningless? The Raiders dropped them both as well. The game was equally "meaningless" to the Indians who had everything wrapped up,yet still came to win the trophy. There's the difference between the 2 right there.
The difference is that Wise has a better team and really only plays for baseball. Has forever and always will be the main sport at JJ Kelly. Norton really, even with Shupe could care less about baseball. Kids concentrate on football and to a lesser extent basketball.

Guess Shupe should have thought about before he opened his mouth and guaranteed a state title within 3 years. 6 years now and counting. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
I also will add that the statement that folks generally make when they say JJK is a baseball-only school is inaccurate. Out of 22 state titles,8 come via the diamond. JJK's lady netters arguably matched the baseball dynasty with their wonderful run back when. Football,golf,basketball,and wrestling have also seen the TRIBE hoist state gold. Not many schools can say that they have won titles in 6 sports. To say that Wise is all-baseball is a discredit to the very successfull athletes that have walked its halls.
Agreed. Neither JJ Kelly or Shupe has prospered since his departure as they did when the two were together.
JJK still hasn't done too bad since he left though. They have been to the final four what, 4 of the 6 years since he left? Thats about as good clip as it was with Shupe there. The whole game being meaningless wasn't even the comment I was referring to. It was this:
"They've got transfer students coming in left and right. In this district, you don't know who you're going to be playing against," said Shupe.
"They've got two kids out here today that played for Pound last year. Last year they had a kid playing third base that played for Clintwood the year before."
Thats a pretty crappy statement from a guy who has had his fair share of transfers. The last state title he won, probably wouldn't have been won if it wasn't for transfers. His first year at JIB he had the Key kid transfer in from Coeburn. Its like the pot calling the kettle black.
And so know one can say I didn't put Wyrick's quote on here, here ya go.
"Coach Shupe needs to worry about his own team Tuesday and I'll coach my team," said Wyrick. "It's not like he never had any transfers. He needs to worry about coaching his team and getting them ready."
I didn't see that one in the paper, just skimmed it. Do you have a link to that? FWIW, if Pound could keep all of their players they would be a force. haha
No, I don't subscribe online. If someone else has the KTN online, they should be able to link it.
