They did not include Honaker's girls in the top 10 in Sw.Va?? Am I missing something? Ervinton is a top 10 but not that high in my opinion.

Ok, I need to be slapped now.


We weren't given this much preseason praise in 04, in fact I can't remember this high of a preseason ranking in the region since the Jones brothers played.

They didn't do a BDD preview, so I assume they just put the teams they previewed in the KTN for the SWVA top 10.

Twin Valley's boys and Council's girls would also earn top 10 ranking imo.

Kinda like how they predict area football scores over here around C-wood even though they have never seen them play...I gotcha!

Was the preview in today's paper?

It says Sw.Va......that includes George Wythe also right? Why not just put "predictions for areas west of Abingdon but below Haysi??" Their paper, I guess they can print what they want.

yeah its in todays

Tennis Simon finally graduated right?

Not sure who is still there but they always have a competitive team that is better than what the LPD offers.

They lost quite a bit at GW, plus Copenhaver so not many know what to expect this year I don't believe. They will probably still be decent though. Simon did graduate.

Interesting picks.

What is the significance of the numbers (2) 24?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">1. Powell Valley (2) 24 </div></div>

first place votes?

thast what the numbers in parenthesis usually means

2 first place votes, 24 points total

Do all of the coaches vote or only head coaches?

just head coaches.

The preview wasn't in my paper and I went to the Subway Fasmart in Wise to get one. It wasn't in any of the 10 papers they had either.

Anybody else have this problem?

I didn't see it in mine at first, that's why I asked earlier, but found it later mixed in with the sale papers.
