I definately agree with both statements. Landon was good enough to be recruited by several schools and plays at UK. So how can anyone question he ability as a great H.S. player. Some say he couldn't gaurd EJ but I also don't think EJ could stop Landon. I watched him as a freshman score 52 (I think that was the total) against SV his freshman year and almost pull the upset single handed.

And I too appreciate what great teams the mountains can produce and love to see the mountains represented well at state and will follow SV all the way to the Saturday evening game at Rupp should they make it. However, a few SV fans build this team up to unbelievable standards and keep going on and on. I mean isn't it enough that pretty much every single person on BGR thinks Valley is one of the best teams to come from the mountains and they are certainly the best team in this region and one of the best in the state. These are the people that cause other area fans to not want to support Valley or to see them do as well. Myself, I try to look over them but come on enough is enough. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, we all know they are a very special team.

I agree, I'm enjoying the ride myself and I look forward to hopefully seeing Valley at state and if not them, hopefully it will be Prestonsburg. This whole SV/Elisha thing has now struck a nerve and the expectations that their fans continuesly put on them is unbelievable. I just hope that all their players actually don't get on here and read into most of it because you know that too much publicity is not good for a teenagers mind.

If people don't want to discuss the topic its easy enough not to click on the thread. This is the 1st thread I have ever made on Elisha and the SV thread I made is the first of that nature that I have started. I just thought it would be fun to hear everyone's opinion. I was just as happy to post in Paintsville threads last season as I am in Valley's this season. I mean its obvious that everyone is excited about this teams post season chances and thats part of the reason that there are more threads about Valley than any other team. But another reason is that Valley fans are more active on this board right now because our team is up. I know that there aren't many Allen Central fans on the board, but if their team was up and in contention they would be as active as we are. I try not to be an over zealous homer and don't think that I am. I just like to debate about players and teams, whether its Valley or anybody else. Truth be told I got these two threads started because I wanted to talk about some of the great teams and players in the 15th region over the last decade or so.

I understand, and like I stated above these two threads you created struck a nerve with me because it's all I see anymore on the forum. Hopefully you understand.
