I've wanted to see something happen like this for a long time.
Just thinking of a few matchups:
Harlan County vs. Powell Valley (VA)
Bell County vs. Morristown East (TN)
And if everyone could get along:
Middlesboro vs. Gate City (VA)
Harlan vs. Cumberland Gap (TN)
Sounds like a great backfield.....but I hope a committment to full house sets dosen't make them completely one dimensional.
I think this team can make a run in 3A, but to contend with the likes of a Louisville Central of Belfry, they will have to have some balance on the offensive side of the ball.
I thought that Bell Co. was willling to play around week 6. Maybe instead of making a trip across Pine Mountain, they could make a shorter trip to Log Mountain.
I agree with alot of the above. I think that a full freshmen and JV schedule will only benefit. Way too often, mountain teams lack the personnel to fill a full Frosh and B team schedule and it hurts them in the long run.
I see a problem with this as well. Perhaps the freshman team could play up and play a seperate JV schedule. However, you probobly would be looking at needing to hire more coaches to do so. That coupled with scheduling conflicts could cause some problems. I don't know of any teams around the area with freshman squads
I would agree with the statement from your source on this one. Not that this is a great Trinity team this year, but they are still in a different league. If the Rocks are clicking on all cylinders, and it appears they are, this one gets nasty in a hurry.
