haven't seen many games this year. Watched Coalfield/Wartburg at the first of the season and went to the York/Oneida game the other night.

York will lose this week, but I don't think it will be close. Wright vs. Samber. Let's just say their may be some animosity there...lol. I thought York would be better. I was not impressed watching the game last night. Oneida offense played scared or it would have been a closer game.

I heard Coalfield beat Kingston in a scrimmage on Thursday night. I was very shocked to hear this. Any word on this?

They did play every year up until about 1982 or 3. Huge gate for both teams, but Scott had beaten Oneida several times in a row and Oneida quit playing them and refuses to play them to this day. Scott High's current coach put a 2 year contract in front of Jimmy May this past season and May wouldn't even acknowledge it

sounds like Pullen was forced out. No coach resigns right before the season unless strange circumstances have occurred.

what about Bledsoe County, they beat York last year and now they are in that much weaker region.

did they have spring practice?

Peels from Wartburg has done an outstanding job there in just one year. That says a lot when you are talking Wartburg and he has coached at larger schools

I think Flatt took the job because no one else wanted it 2 years ago.

Regions 1 and 2 in 2A are hands down the worst regions in the state in any classification. York had to be better than 8 other teams to get to the semis. 4 of those teams won a total of 2 region games (Cumberland Gap, Happy Valley, Oneida, and Wartburg). South Green was not much better. Hampton, Rockwood, and Monterey were slightly better than mediocre at best. That is how hard it was to make it to the semis out of those regions. When York played Tyner it was a running clock in the first half. Tyner could have scored 80.

Anderson finally wins one as they pull away late.

You see why York/Clarkrange wanted to stay in that region. The east regions are not that good. Bledsoe will cakewalk to the semi's next year unless Eagleton becomes a power immediately.

#58 for Coalfield (Chase Letner) did not play in the Gordonsville game and he is difference maker. I was curious to see how much better Coalfield would be with him.

York, Monterey, and Jackson would go to Region 4 where they once were.

I think so

Coalfield names the score. They just got the good lineman back last week (Letner) who had been out all year and he's a difference maker. I think the Gordonsville game would have been different had he been back then.

44 to 14, and it was the refs?

Heard from a pretty good source that Oneida and Wartburg will be pushed to region 3 with Tellico, Marion, Polk, Eagleton, and possibly Bledsoe

if you look at the Sonny Moore ratings they are pretty equal regions. Anderson is on another level, but that is it for the most part, unless I'm getting my regions confused

I have no issue with having a cupcake on the schedule, but you need to play a non region schedule that prepares you to make a deep run in the playoffs. That's what I'm saying. region 2 2A is not a very good region and for that matter neither is 1A other than Hampton and since there is only 5 teams in region 2 you need some competition outside of the region. This statement has nothing to do with classification if that is what you were referring to.

I have seen Wartburg twice this year (at Oneida and at home against York). If it wasn't for a 3 minute span in the 2nd quarter of both of those games Wartburg is in it. Their offense has struggled scoring, but they have improved tremendously. Not saying they are going to beat Rockwood, but they are organized and much more disciplined than I have seen a Wartburg team in years.

Livingston is 4A. Did you have an issue with that one? Gibbs is not near the top of that class. Stone Memorial is much better than Gibbs, Gibbs probably don't make the playoffs. What will be an excuse when Clay County a 1A team beats York next week? Out of region games should make you better. Would you rather play Red Boiling?

I've posted a couple of other times that not only should enrollment numbers be looked at, but varsity roster numbers over a period of 8-10 years of schools should be looked at as well. This especially for 1A and 2A schools. A good example of this is your region Crow. Wartburg shows 383 and never dress more than 30 or so players. Everyone else in that region dress 40-50 plus. Coalfield enrollment numbers are always 160 (check it, every single year) and dress 45 plus. Those two schools should be swapped.

I think roster numbers on a year to year basis as well as geography should be looked at as well. There are a lot of schools that have "low enrollment numbers" (1A) and have 65 on a roster and some schools that are a 2A or 3A and have 30 on the roster on a year to year basis.
