Gordonsville is East, article states West

Right now in the west I only see 3 legit contenders in Dresden, Wayne Co.,and Huntingdon. You could possibly throw Lake Co in that bunch but I still think they're a year away.

10 returning starters on D is impressive especially when added to 7 on offense, I may want to reconsider

I'd have to say that next year is the best shot that the east has had in a while.

I've noticed that alot of the top teams in single A that had to move up are at the top of the poles in AA. It just goes to show the strength that the West has had in A ball the last several years.

Also shows there is not that much difference in 1A and 2A.For many years in the past he 1A team could have easily won 2A with the exception of TREZ!LOL!

IMHO Its really a rural and urban thing.

Always pulling for the rural schools but I'm a little biased.

I think that NCS and Dresden (the last two 1A champs) would have had a very good chance of beating Trezevant.

Heck, the year before UC goes undefeated beats eventual 2A champ Peabody on the way. 1A has been been real strong the past few years. With teams moving up or to D-II I you'll see 1A take a slight step back as a whole.

 

 

I'm just hoping for more entertaining games. With those dominant teams you get a lot of one sided affairs.

Good article. Coalfield has the most starters returning, not counting those coming back from injuries that were starters before. Loaded on both sides of the ball, with depth on the sidelines that can rotate in as well. Some of the best coaching around. Can't see how they are not ranked #1. The run game will be far better than most predict, and the pass can't be stopped unless someone has 4 db's that actually know how to cover, and they will definitely need at least 4.

I have to agree. Just in reading about the teams, Id think Coalfield should be the number 1 ranked team.
