Opinions anyone?
My only thoughts are Haysi and Honaker being the only teams that can do anything to an LPD school. Hurley and TV will be able to beat Pound probably but thats about it

Well in the regular season Haysi plays Pound and Clintwood. I am sure they can beat Pound and Clintwood should be an interesting match up. Honaker plays Appy and I'm not sure if they play anymore. Honaker will probably beat Appy. TV and Hurley don't play any LPD teams as far as I know but it is possible.
I agree Husker_fan, however of the schools mentioned, only Appalachia has a good chance of finishing in the top half of the LPD this year. If the Honaker/Appalachia game is in Appalachia, then Honaker better be ready for a tough game. Having the dishonor of playing on that rock/mud pit they call a football feild, I know how hard it is to leave there with a victory. I do foresee Honaker getting another shot at Gate City in the playoffs. However this time they they will not have to go through Powell Valley this time to get there. I am predicting here that Rye Cove wins the Cumberland as a Div 2. With Powell Valleys tough non-conferance schedule, they don't gain enough power points, leaving J.J. Kelly taking the fourth playoff spot.
Playoff spots come down to one game haysi/honaker. Gate city will of course get lpd and rye cove will get cumberland but if haysi somehow beats honaker then the battle for the wildcard spot should be really close between honaker, kelly, and clintwood. Oh and I think clintwood will definatly finish top half of LPD. They are looking good this year

oh yes and PV. They have a good chance of getting that wildcard spot cause they should have a pretty good team this year.
Colorist, I think CLintwood is going to be a bit of a surprise this year. I think they should be pretty good, myself.
I am from the old school Sportsfan. I can remember the days of coach Cummings at Clintwood. However the Green Wave program is not where it was WAY back then. And yes, I am showing my age. However, if Haysi beats Clintwood it would prove that they could only finish no better then third if they competed in the BDD. My friends from the LPD (coachs) tell me that with usual good teams, they have to include J.I. Burton and J.J.Kelly to this years' crop of true contenders. Of course I could be wrong and Clintwood could win the LPD. I have been wrong before. The one Region D team that I think could surpise people this year is Thomas Walker. ((Now that would be a long drive if Honaker should meet them in the playoffs)). Good luck to all of the BDD teams.
Clintwood will definatly be the surprise team in the LPD then. No one has any concern for em lol But ya'll will.
Dunduin J.I. Burton will be THE suprise team but Clintwood will be A suprise team.
Cambell was all they had. The rest of the team didnt impress me at all
If he was their whole team Haysi must have been pretty ****** cause burton beat Haysi and he didn't do harldy anything against them.
Yeah he had one good catch and run on us and scored one of our slower linebackers got burned and he was gone. Our offense was struggling to get things together at that time as well
That wasn't the only game that the offense struggled from the stats I saw from last year and the game I saw if Haysi had a line with a **** they might have beaten honaker.
Yeah honaker beat us because we had a starting lineman injured and we werent playing with any heart. You cant go against a good team like honaker like that and expect to win
Who was injured???
Haysi last year had a lot of injuries in which they were just recovering from. Plus, they hadn't established their offense at all. They didn't establish it until late in the year.

i didn't say that GC would definitly be coming to Fuller Field, I was just saying I hope to see Honaker facing GC again, at Honaker, or GC, either one.
lol, and your right, Honaker won't have as many points. Maybe if we hadn't added Twin Springs, and played Richlands in a game that actually counted [img]confused.gif[/img] sure can't wait til that "benefit" game against the Blues tommorrow night! [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

How do those "benefit" games work? Does it resemble an actual game? I've heard and read about them but never actually attended one.
Someone stated they couldn't wait until GC comes to Fuller Field. Don't get me wrong, Richlands is on our minds at the present time. Let's say Gate City's 11-0 and Honaker's 11-0, how do you think Honaker will have more power points to host this matchup? I'm just curious.
yea, they are pretty much like a regular season game, except they don't count toward your win/loss record. this is the first year Honaker has held one, so I'm not 100% sure about it.
