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.

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.

More importantly, this topic has reached the 600-post milestone.

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.
-
Tier 1: Pulaski Co, Va High, Lebanon, Castlewood, and Ridgeview.

No VHSL school should be held to a higher standard than Liberty Christian, including rules pertaining to transfers and recruitment.
-
Once the transfer portal closes, you have an open competition at QB. You should know your starter after the Blue-White Spring Game.

I don't think he'd be given that choice.

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.

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.

I challenge anyone to name a better triple-threat singer/songwriter/football coach than Don Williams.
-
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.
-
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.

Galax doesn't always win the state championship. But when it does, the score is 7-6.
-
-
The tying run is in the on-deck circle
-
Galax scores 2 runs in the bottom of 7th, but still trails Essex 6-2
-
-
@GMan, what a brilliant and devious topic to begin the offseason.
-
Just for the record, I absolutely don't care either way. I would've loved to have seen Graham-Riverheads or Union-Riverheads this season.
-
I wanna try.
Riverheads scored 21 against Radford compared to Graham's 10, therefore Riverheads is better than Graham.
Am I doing it correctly?
