THE KING Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 1 hour ago, rtl112 said: How many yards rushing did you have on us last year? I'd have to say I thought Gordonsville's line was pretty impressive along with your all's last year. We couldn't even hardly move the ball on Gordonsville last year. They shut us out, we were in the RedZone two or three times on them and came up empty. I just thought they would've gave the pirates a game if not upset them. I not discrediting Cloudland's line for they were good and one of best in the east. It was over 300 and that was even with little Henry causing us chaos. Love that kid. He's a little terror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing at 6 in “grasscutters” then “peewee” and “midgets”. . None of this PC Correct flag football nonsense back then. Cloudland has built a solid program for 20yrs by having the kids starting early. Now days parents start with “soccer”. Because they’re afraid little Johnny is going to get “hurt”. Such pathetic BS. I played my brother played. All the kids in the Community Played. Not a single one suffering from “CTE”. . And we’re healthy as the rest of the neighbors. Not saying that someone who plays College and a Long Pro Career can’t have issues. My point is Cloudland has stayed ultra competitive for so many years because the kids start learning and loving football at an early age. There’s really no other explanation for their dominance considering they have the 2nd smallest school in 1A that can actually field a team. It’s a compliment to the parents, kids, and their community. I’m always impressed with the team Cloudland fields year in and year out. They have the perfect offense for their location too. I don’t think a modern day spread offense would work as well as what they do up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find some angry big boys with a work ethic, you can win in football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazzyness Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I intentionally was thinking Unaka would have a punchers chance, but CF would pull away in the second half for like 34-20 type win. The rain though, really takes a lot out of Unaka's athleticism and speed. Idk, maybe it won't rain as much that far west? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I was surprised Unaka beat Greenback. But more surprised I guess in that was their first playoff win ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 90s, Unaka was actually a physical power run team. I remember the McCloud twins, Jamie turner, Michael burrow, and Jason buckles. Tough group of players I played against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPOPU2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Let’s give the Rangers a hand win or lose for a Great Season. I’m awfully proud for the kids and those folks on Stoney Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
