  1. Prayers for this family and community. What an unspeakable tragedy. I can't begin to fathom how utterly devastating this must be, particularly for the man who lost his wife, two daughters, son-in-law, granddaughter, and two extended family members.
  2. SWVA SOCCER RECIPE Ingredients: 1-22 Unskilled and overly aggressive players 2 Woefully ignorant, yet vocal fan bases 1-2 Obnoxious coaching staffs 1-3 Incompetent officials Instructions: Mix thoroughly and place both fan bases on the same side of the field for 90 minutes. Watch from a safe distance and ENJOY!
  3. I loved 70s football with its physical play, option offenses and tear-away jerseys. That season was the beginning of the Ralph Cummins dynasty at Clintwood led by Johnny McFall & Co.
  4. More importantly, this topic has reached the 600-post milestone.
  5. You know you're in for a treat when her first shot's a step-back 3 from 30+. The Ervin hoops genes are most excellent.
  6. Tier 1: Pulaski Co, Va High, Lebanon, Castlewood, and Ridgeview. Tier 2: Twin Valley, Northwood, Carroll Co, Lee, Radford, Union, and Central Tier 3: Everybody else except... Tier 4: Chilhowie and George Wythe
  7. No VHSL school should be held to a higher standard than Liberty Christian, including rules pertaining to transfers and recruitment.
  8. Once the transfer portal closes, you have an open competition at QB. You should know your starter after the Blue-White Spring Game.
  9. I don't think he'd be given that choice.
  10. WHO IS THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A? FACTORS CONSIDERED *** --Marion scored 22 points on Va High, while Graham scored only 20 --Marion scored 40 points against Lebanon in game shortened for weather at 4:20 in the 3Q. A proportional calculation results in Marion scoring 60 points on the Pioneers over 4 quarters, while Graham scored only 59. --Radford defeats both Graham and Riverheads CONCLUSIONS: Marion>Graham Radford>Graham Radford>Riverheads Therefore, Radford and Marion>Graham and Riverheads SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A: Marion Scarlet Hurricanes ***Any other factors that contradict this assertion, I have personally deemed irrelevant or inconsequential including head-to-head, outcomes of common opponents, W-L records, margin of victory, strength of schedule, computer rankings, and common sense.
  11. If only there was a scientific way to rank teams objectively, free from personal biases, opinions, emotions, and logical fallacies. Oh wait, there actually is.

  12. I challenge anyone to name a better triple-threat singer/songwriter/football coach than Don Williams.
  13. Lonesome Pine was an absolutely perfect name and a huge missed opportunity. Another mistake, if the name had to be Union, was to not select Miners as the mascot. I wasn't familiar with Indian Creek, but that would've been an excellent choice for Kelly-Pound As far as Coeburn-St Paul, there was a less obvious choice but Tom's Creek, Guest River, Clinch River, Ralph Stanley, or 50 other names would've been far better than Eastside. Hellbenders paired with a river name would've been superb.
  14. IMO, students are ill-equipped to select a proper school name. Most have little knowledge or appreciation for local history, geography, or fauna. The results are unimaginative and generic names and mascots best suited for a Disney Channel high school.
