I'm sure it will be if they are eligible.....Seems there may have been an 8th grade (yes I said 8th) hold back or 2 on the team...OR 7 OF THEM!!!!!AND SEVERAL 7TH GRADE HOLDBACK AS WELL!!!! Really....Is this how Valley rolls? I had heard the rumors about the Virgie holdbacks and so on but to find this out...I lost alot of respect for that system. Thought they had really hit on something....guess they did figure it out....13 year olds are generally better at football than 11 year olds when they play head to head. They all will physically grow up in about 4 or 5 years when they are Sophmores and Juniors. Will they look as good then when the player across from them is their size or bigger, and as fast and strong? Best of luck to you at Teco when it's the KHSAA checking things out and not a tourney director in the mud.

Guess since it's down in the mountains that nobody would know any different. Just a bunch of big mountain kids. That's how they come...ain't nobody going to question that...I mean they don't even know where Long Fork, or the Flatwoods, or Fords Branch, or Caney, or Greasy Creek, or Beefhide, or Jonancy or Shelbiana or any of those places are. They couldn't find Tackett's with a helicopter. Or any of the schools (GF, RCE, VMS). Or remember when Penny Road was not a super highway nor was 23 past the Shelby Bridge. (That's where the fun began when it was raining and snowing and a trip to Norton took and hour and a half when it was DRY!)

Hope I didn't bore you with the rambling. Felt I needed to throw out a few things as some proof that what I have stated to be true. Always remember that no matter where you may go in this big ol' world there is a chance that someone there may know more about you than you think and can find out alot more than you want them too.

I can't believe the nerve of some people. How could you try to put down the little team just because they beat your hides? Guess what, half of them will be back next year... as 6th graders. Just like this year, All legit!

As I recall you stood in Gatti's of Pikeville and talked about how you were going to go down there and dominate that tourny.

We got beat in the championship game to Corbin, but you did not hear us crying foul play by the tourny directors or the other team. We got beat by a very good football team in a very good game. I think it was a great little tourny and hope to be back next year... we just hope for better weather.

I hope only the best for your little group... but I do feel that Adult leadership needs to step up over there and start acting like adults.
