[Buffalo Bildos]

Most everyone who comments on BGR threads knows high school football, or at least they SHOULD. Those who bash Williamsburg because they have a "weak" schedule need to understand a couple of things.

First, Williamsburg shut out a very good Harlan team. Harlan's other two losses were to Lex Christian by 3 and Middlesboro by 7. Harlan is a lot better than their 2-3 record indicates.

Second, Williamsburg is a young team. Half of their O and D lines are freshmen and sophomores. They have two receivers who are seniors but most of the completions are made by the sophomore receivers. Their running backs are sophomores and the starting QB is a junior.

Finally, Jerry Herron took this bunch of young 'uns to Oneida, Tennesse, to play a AA team that went to the state quarterfinals last year. Oneida returned 16 seniors and 16 starters this year!... and Williamsburg came to within a yard of winning the game as time expired.

On a side note, to the poster who said Somerset would beat W'burg by 20, I beg to differ. The sophomores and freshmen who make up the core of the Jackets roster are the same bunch that won the state Middle School Class 3 championship two years ago. That season, Meece Middle lost in the playoffs and didn't make the trip to Lexington for the final four. Plus, the Jackets beat both Pulaski county middle school teams that year during the regular season, including a season opening win against Southern Pulaski, the eventual Class 1 state champions.

Last time your senior class played against Dalton Sizemore was in the 8th grade when he played for whitley middle school he hung a 58-0 whipping on the briar jumpers and they threw the towel in the 3rd quarter after several injuries. The next year Whitley Middle with Sizemore beat your now junior bunch again. I wish we could play this game.

I dont think he plays for whitley anymore bud.. Whitley is always known for having a massive (physically) football team in middle school though, along with clay county. Like i said earlier, not all middle school teams translate into good highschool teams, luckily, whether its from kids quitting or whatever. Somersets 09' state runner up seniors didnt win a game in middle school their 8th grade year, but I as well wish we could play this game. I highly doubt we will considering neither of us are the coaches and neither of us make the schedules for the football teams. Good luck to Williamsburg and the rest of their easy schedule.
