Clintwood vs Sussex Central

I will get it started. I am so glad that not any of the kids from Clintwood believed what was being wrote on this forum at the beginning and first of the year. You know, "the Lpd is weak this year, the whole area is bad in football, we will not have a team in this area make it deep in the playoffs, etc., etc.," I myself had doubts about this team from Clintwood. The quality of opponants have made this team better each and every week. Throw out the Grayson County...that does not exist any more...Hazard is better than Harlan ever though about being. Plus quality wins over Union and Gate City showed this team and gave them the confidence that they needed and showed them that they as a team can play and beat anyone.
I thought the game yesterday would be close and hard hitting and I was right. I also had concerns if Clintwood ran up against a team with overall good speed. George Wythe I believe had 3 guys back that won the 4x400 relay state championship so their overall team speed was excellant. Clintwood passed the test again. The one difference was..George Wythe had never been hit the way we brought it yesterday! Now Clintwood will face another team with overall excellant team speed..Sussex Central.
Did some research..Sussex has only played 4 teams with a winning record and they were tested by a 6-5 Altavista team a week before they played Covington. 88 points, and racking up over 500 yards rushing the ball is impressive but once again, how will they react when they get hit! Im not talking about tackled..I mean hit the way this Green team is hitting? What will hurt Clintwood is not having Dylan Dahley in the DEFENSIVE backfield. His brother Dalton is capable of carrying the load at QB!
I believe Clintwood wins 34-22...smash mouth football and hard hitting will win this. Good luck guys and GO GREEN!!

This is not even close to being true.

Agree with a lot of the other stuff you're saying. It should be another good one. I'm glad that they mostly run out of the spread instead of throw.

Hazard beat Harlan 38-13. Harlan lost to Williamsburg 38-6 in second round of playoffs. Hazard beat Williamsburg the next round 28-0. Hazard is in the state championship game vs Mayfield.
Hazard is way better than Harlan.

Ah. You do know that Halan isn't who GC, Lee, PV ect have played right? That was Harlan County. Harlan City (you mentioned) sucks. Harlan County (that GC played) would destroy Hazzard. Hazzard is better than Harlan City, way, way, way away from Harlan County.

Harlan County and Hazard did not play each other...
Harlan County 2011 Kentucky High School Football

10-4. My bad! I took care of the error. Was not knocking any of the teams that played out of state teams around here. Just an error. I live in Ky now and posted this for a couple friends of mine over there to read that live in Prestonsburg, Hazard, and Harlan and they all play each other and I have to put my two cents in about Clintwood

I figured that's what you meant. There are very few teams around here that have anything for Harlan County or Bell Co. in KY.

And if I'm not mistaken, Sussex loss came to a team that was there only win of the year. Gotta love it, can't figure things out, and can't always go by what a team does versus one team and apply to it another.

It will be a challenge for the Wave, no doubt, but I have to say, this team has amazed me on there ability to accept challenges and step forward when people slammed the door on them.

Even being around a lot less this year than normal, I'm impressed with the unity they seem to show.

Loosing #2 Dahley actually helped on offense because it made Coach Mullins stop calling those stupid pass plays like he does. I swear I want to scream sometimes when I see Clintwood ramming the ball down the opponent's throat and then we try a spot pass or a quick slant or a little boot leg and it gets overthrown or dropped and kills the drive. I don't know if Rick doesn't have anyone in his ear telling him to quit calling those stupid plays or else he doesn't listen. I think everyone in the entire state knows Clintwood is going to try the same 4 or 5 runs each game over and over and no one is going to worry about the pass. My point is having #2 Dahley out is definately a bigger blow on defense than offense. If Dalton can just play mistake free and get all the snaps then he will be fine.

Hazard is Single A in KY. Williamsburg and Harlan are both 5A. So it is not impossible for Hazard to play either one of these schools in the playoffs. You need to do a little better job on you research.

You're wrong. Williamsburg is A. Hazard beat Williamsburg 28-0 last week. He already said the Harlan he's talking about was Harlan City, which is also A.

They are definately a team...not any "prima donas" (sp) or "me" attitude that I can tell and this team is hungry to hit and win! I really do think we will beat them.
Stainless...you need to read more carefully and do your own research...just sayin'!!

I was thinking of Whitley County. Whitley County is right out side of Williamsburg. My mistake.

A post was made that not many teams around here hasanything for Harlan Co. or Bell Co.. That has to be the truest statement EVER made on any post on any forum anywhere. Bell Co. and Harlan Co. KY football teams are men among boys. With that being said, I hope Clintwood lays the wood to Sussex Central. In 1994 powell valley beat sussex central at bullit park for the state championship. We won 36 to 12 in the mud. ALOT can change in 17 years but one thing remains to be fact, LPD has always had it out for the eastcoast teams. Im gonna be pulling for the WAVE all the way.

okay... back to the Tigers.

And several weeks ago, 5-6 Union led for the entire first half at Clintwood.

I think both teams have had their close calls and good and bad performances. This should be a pretty good game.

I found this interesting in there. Altavista was up 12-0 at halftime. Then....

Altavista Coach Mike Scharnus didn't return to the field following halftime until later in the third quarter.

On Monday, Altavista Combined School Principal Ty Gafford said Scharnus came in at halftime complaining of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest. His blood pressure was also high. He was checked out by Angela Emerson, the team trainer, and the local rescue squad. Scharnus went to the hospital in Petersburg after the game. Gafford said Scharnus will have some more tests later.

after watching the Charles City vs Sussex Central video im pretty confedient in saying this. If Sussex dont tackle no better than what they did in the video they are in for a long night. It looked as if neither team had a D worth much. Clintwood can stop their offense but idk if Sussex can stop Clintwood's offense. It looks to me that Clintwood should come back with a W

My thoughts are as follows......There Offence scares me due to the fact that they run spred (Which Cwood has had issues with) and Veer (Which Grayson spanked CWood with).......I agree on the other side of the ball I think we can play keep away with the football and eat the clock

I pulled all of the players numbers from that Charles City youtube video and matched them up with the roster. The linemen looked alot bigger in those videos than they actually are. Most of them were in the 5'10"-6' 190-210 range. That could be problematic for them.

IF charles city isnt as big as they look then that means that Sussex Central isnt either. I dont think they will be able to handle the size of Clintwood and the ball controll offense the Wave run. Defensively, Clintwood better be ready for speed cause Sussex Central looked pretty quick at times in that video. JMO but Clintwood should not have much problems. The spread and the Veer are dangerous offenses and Clintwood has had their problems with em. That being said, its hard to beat Clintwood twice running the same style O. Im sure there coaching staff will have the boys prepared to stop the Veer and Protect against the Spread. Cwood's Big D line should be in the backfeild more than anyone has been against the Tigers. They (sussex) ran a similar style spread and veer against Powell Valley in 94 and didnt have much sucsess. The mud may have played a big factor in that but IMO the smash mouth gettin hit every down played a bigger factor in it. That running back carried what looked to be three Charles City defensive players 20 yards! I just dont see any of them carrying ANY good ole boy from Dickenson Co much less three. Sussex will be in for a deja vu type of game experience. Different team but same hard hittin country boys.

Sussex is who I was talking about, not CC. They're pretty small on both sides of the LOS. Their DE's are really tall kids but thin. All of their OL are at that 190-210 lb range.

Sussex hits. And theirs no way this kid only weights 210 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sIp...e_gdata_player

Sussex is bigger than you think. if clintwood thinks that they wont hit they are wrong.

I have a cousin that lives and coaches football in the Richmond area. I asked him what he knew about Sussex. He said that overall they aren't that big, but they are athletic and cans fly. Obviously he thinks that ball control for Clintwood will be very important. He also said they play in a very weak conference.

The only thing we can go on is the roster. It has #50 as Kevin Harris (not Michael) and listed at 5'11" 200 lbs. He's bigger than that in the video. Like I said above, I went by the Charles City video. In the video you posted there's also a #71 that's pretty big but there's not a 71 listed on the roster. I'm wondering if maybe a lot of the video you posted isn't stuff from last year.

A lot of that is from last year. It has Charles City highlights of them playing at Sussex. They played at Charles City this year.

I know it was a long time ago but when Sussex came to PV in '94 they had a big rep then and they turned out to be very small and did not play physical football at all. They were very athletic, but not physical in the least.

They had a fullback that year with huge numbers and a huge rep coming in. I arrived at the game just before kickoff and did not see them warm up. As they came out to run onto the field they came right by me and as that fullback ran by a friend told me "that's the big fullback", I was shocked at how soft he looked and said "he's fat!" Well apparently I said it loud enough that he heard me (swear to God that was not my intention) anyway he looked at me with a hurt look on his face. As silly as it might sound that made me feel like crap and I actually still think of that from time to time and it still makes me feel bad,

Is it just me or did anybody else think that highlight video was....not impressive.? I would think a similar video of say Burton's Coffee would put that to shame.

IMO sussex is to fast and athletic and weak district up there is strong to the cmd and lpd.
Sussex 42

I was rooting for C-Wood, I was really hopeful to be able to see a CW/Galax final. Now I hope Sussex wins in the same fashion they did last week. haha

For the love of God, Biggin, offer an alternative way of shaming yourself! We don't want to see that!

Typical Wise Co cant spell rules. And Clintwood beat our ass? 88-8 is a beat that ass 28-27 is pretty darn good game. And please refrain from posting any pictures, you might give my computer viruses, thanks big boy floyd

^ If Clintwood wins are you going to disappear from the forum again like you did when Gate stunk it up the first few weeks?

My point exactly. When i posted the post about them not being physical it was because i seen them in 94 ( My brother's senior year) and they were supposed to be the best thing to hit a football field in the state of VA since TC williams desegregated. Well fact of the matter is they did NOT like getting hit and every single time they got hit they looked around like "WTF". If Clintwood gets physical (like they always do) from the begining of the game then itll be a shock to them Sussex boys and Cwood will win. Sussex always gets more hype than they deserve.

haha Clintwood needs to try playing our schedule. GC's record against the current LPD teams is 94-64-6 so ya speaks for itself. and an 8 hour drive, back up QB, and vs a team who is fast. All adding up to SC's favor. We all know what fast teams do to Clintwood. *cough cough East Mont* Yeah blah blah Clintwood is powerful, so what. Power means nothing if you cant catch them first.
