To be honest, neither team looked that good. Gonna be a long season for Avery. Don't look for them to win a game in their conference. I thought The landers of up more points against a very weak Avery team.

Cloudland over Avery by 2 touchdowns or more. Avery finished next to the bottom of their conference last year and are not as good as they were. No line.

I hear that Cloudland is backing out of the football contract. Don't quite understand the ethics of that. You do not have contracts for basketball because you play each other twice during the season. Basketball schedules are made year to year depending on what coaches think is best for their teams. Don't really see what baskertball has to do with football.

The loss to Avery County was at Avery. After trouncing them in Tennessee, we knew we would have a fight to win at Avery. It is much like Greene County, with their own set of rules and referees. The only thing I need to mention is that there were 33 traveling violations called. And we lost by only a few in overtime. I was at the Avery game. If we had game film i think we would find that the most of the traveling calls, by both teams, were legit. You can't shuffle your feet before you take off. I thought the biggest difference was that they had their 6 ft. center back that did not play in the first game. Friend of mine told me that Avery was 0-4 to start the season without her and 11-1 with her back.

As far as the traveling calls; we did not get the calls we get at home. Seldom do the refs call the shuffle before the dribble. The refs in nc evidently do. just need to learn to dribble before we move our feet.

Marc Campbell - Tennessee High. Played with Derrick Hord. Campbell went on to Clemson and led the ACC in 3 pt. % the first year they had the 3 pt. shot.

Unfortuately, I had to play against Coach White's teams back when. If you think the man doesn't know talent, you don't know basketball. Coach White never fielded a team unless he had the best players on the floor. (beat the crap out of us more than once) One thing I gaurentee you though; you will earn your playing time in practice and with your attitude.

Which ones?

Have any other Carter County programs been hit with fines for rules violations?

"Foul langauge is a strong way to express a weak mind."

But the only fact you proved is that anyone can beat anyone on a given night. That's why they play the games. I didn't say that Hampton couldn't hold their own. Just that they would be an average team in that conference which doesn't have any standout teams this year. Very average year for them. Of course the whole thing is mute. It doesn't really matter what they do over there. Those NC teams will all be beaten by some really good teams when they go off their mountain.

What on here isn't opinion. I can say "I think Hampton will beat Grace" or "I think Cloudland will beat Jellico." It's all opinion until they play. You can only Become a fact after the game is played. Who would have thought App. State would beat Mich.? I held the "opinion that they would, Then it bacame fact. As far as the Avery/Cloudland match up; my "opinion" is that if Avery's starting qb would have played, it would have been worth 2 more TD's. Same for Johnson Co. Just my opinion, and we all know what opinions are like.

Thing of it is, Mitchell apperently will play for 2nd or 3rd in the conference and Avery will play for 3rd or 4th. Whole different world in 1a and 2a over there. & teams in the conference, 3 1a teams and 4 2a teams. My prediction would place Hampton finishing 3rd or fourth. The real amazing thing here is that we actually agree on something. By the way, how's your mom and dad?

Actually, Hooters is the best.
