Hurley
opened
the
season
with
a
shutout
win
in
a
two-county
battle
of
Rebels
Friday
night
at
Nora,
Va.
The
Hurley
Rebels
of
Buchanan
County
defeated
the
Ervinton
Rebels
from
Dickenson
County,
40-0,
behind
a
tough
running
game.
Senior
running
back
Sammy
Mitchem
ran
for
143
yards
and
a
touchdown,
all
in
the
first
half,
and
Hurley's
rushing
attack
compiled
329
yards
on
29
attempts
overall.
Hurley
quarterback
Austin
Cooper
threw
two
touchdown
passes
and
ran
for
one
score.
Senior
running
back
William
Rawlins
scored
two
touchdowns
for
the
Rebels.
Ervinton
moved
the
ball
on
its
first
possession
after
stopping
Hurley
on
fourth
down.
The
Hurley
defense
eventually
forced
a
punt
and
after
that
kept
the
pressure
on
the
rest
of
the
night.
"We
were
rusty
in
the
first
quarter
and
gave
up
a
couple
of
first
downs,
but
then
we
settled
down
and
got
after
them,"
Hurley
coach
Greg
Tester
said.

THE
TEAMS:
GRUNDY
--

and

Wave.
"We
executed
pretty
well
most
of
the
time,"
Grundy
coach
Greg
Rowe
said.
"We
got
sloppy
and
had a
couple
of
penalties
and
got a
touchdown
called
back.
But,
overall,
I was
pretty
pleased
with
our
execution."
EAST
RIDGE
--
The
Warriors,
like
Grundy,
have
a
host
of
seniors
and,
potentially,
their
best
football
team
in
years.
East
Ridge
opened
its
season
with
a
31-6
thumping
of
Shelby
Valley
last
week
in
the
Pike
County
Bowl.
Shelby
Valley
had
demolished
Knott
County
Central,
66-0,
the
previous
week,
and
defeated
the
Warriors,
52-13,
last
season.
The
Warriors
have
good
size
and
veteran
backs
in a
run-oriented
fullhouse
attack.

Lady
Rebels
Are
Ready
and
Anxious
to
Compete
for
BDD
Volleyball
Title
|
|
by
Lloyd
Combs
Sports
Reporter
Hurley
volleyball
fans,
including
coach
Brian
Davis,
have
been
waiting
for
some
time
for a
year
in
which
the
Lady
Rebels
could
compete
with
every
other
team
in
the
Black
Diamond
District.
This
could
be
the
year.
Hurley
has
depth,
with
16
players,
including
four
returning
starters,
and
more
athleticism
across
the
board,
Davis
says,
than
in
recent
years.
The
returnees
include
seniors
Kendra
Endicott,
Cassandra
Ashby,
Bre
Justus
and
Chelsey
Hunt.
The
newcomers
to
the
varsity
have
plenty
of
potential.
"This
is a
very
hard-working
team,
and
probably
the
most
athletic
team
I've
had
since
we
started
volleyball,"
Davis
said.
"I
have
four
returning
starters
to
provide
a
good
nucleus,
along
with
some
very
athletic
underclassmen
coming
up
from
last
year's
JV
team.
"I
have
Kendra
(Endicott)
and
Cassandra
(Ashby),
who
were
on
the
all-district
team
last
year.
Along
with
Chelsey
Hunt
and
Bre
Justus,
they
provide
a lot
of
senior
leadership."
The
newcomers
will
fill
a
number
of
different
roles,
Davis
said.
That
includes
juniors
Morgan
Pack,
Daisy
Mullins
and
Kaitlyn
Charles,
sophomores
Shanice
Justus
and
Richelle
Stacy
and
freshman
Morgan
Hall.

The
Front Row
The
Fair
Way
to
Play
Fantasy
Football,
Baseball
or
Hoops
Is to
Have
an
Auction
Draft |
|
by
Lloyd
Combs
Sports
Reporter
This
is
one
of
those
weeks
when
I
have
no
one
topic
worth
more
than
a
few
lines
or
a
few
paragraphs,
so
here
are
a
few
random
notes
and
observations.
Fantasy
Football.
If
you
play
in
a
fantasy
football
league,
and
you
draft
by
rounds,
in
what's
known
as
an
"ordered"
draft,
then
you're
playing
in
a
third-rate
wimp's
league.
There's
enough
luck
involved
in
fantasy
sports
as
it
is,
especially
fantasy
football
and
head-to-head
competition,
where
you
have
zero
control
over
your
opponent's
score,
without
adding
dumb
luck
by
picking
your
team
in
an
order
determined
by
a
random
drawing.
The
only
fair
way
to
play
fantasy
football,
or
baseball
or
basketball,
is
to
have
an
auction
draft.
Even
if
you
don't
use
money,
to
pay
for
your
league's
web
site
or
to
put
in
a
pool
to
pay
"winners,"
it's
the
only
way
to
be
fair
about
it.
Use
an
imaginary
salary
cap.
In
football
the
most
commonly
used
cap
is
$100
dollars
per
team.
You
draft
a
set
number
of
players,
eight,
10,
12,
whatever
your
league
chooses;
say
one
quarterback,
two
running
backs,
three
wide
receivers,
etc.,
you
take
turns
nominating
a
player,
and
you
bid
on
them
with
an
imaginary
$100
available
to
fill
your
set
number
of
roster
spots
and
positions.
