Burrall’s Pearls got a reaction from Unchained in Union vs Central Region D Championship
One program had won big games before the other hadn’t. It still rings true. Union was the more prepared and better coached squad.
Pretty embarrassing loss for Central. If you live in Wise County, all any of us have heard for 10 years is how this group would go to state. Just a bad L, more talented team lost and that’s a credit to Travis, the kids and the program they’ve built.
Central was clearly overconfident in the first quarter and it cost them the game. Sleeping on a team with that tradition and being flat falls on the coaching staff.

How much of an impact do you think basketball had? We were behind everyone else at the start with our state title in bball. Jenkins, Rasnick, Honeycutt, Ray and Bunch all probably took some time to get up to speed.
Also, what a run here lately for Union. That’s our third region title in a boys sport this year.

That horn is embarrassing and annoying. Half the time it’s not even used at the correct time, it drives away fans and makes the entire fanbase look like a bunch of rednecks.
I’ve been going to games for decades between PV/Union. All the horn does is make us look like the nuts that used to be at GC.
School administrators shouldn’t allow it in the park, period. I don’t buy season tickets because of it, I try to get as far away from it as possible weekly.

Just woke up from celebrating the state basketball title. I see we are playing for region football championship too?
What a charmed life we live in BSG.

This Union team has the same kind of kids that PV once took to state, no real superstars , The Big Stone Bombers, Burrell Pearls , Hamler the super sol. Catbird Jackson, Denis Davis , Jerry Myers, and big nasty Jimmy Mitchell( James Mitchell’s dad)!...just a bunch of average players that won state, just like these kids working hard everyday and loving the game, they may loose but they will not be out worked , I expect full court pressure and some bodies up against the other kid to try to get him into foul trouble Goid luck Bears

Spring sports are dead. We’ll be lucky if fall sports aren’t impacted in some way. This virus ain’t leaving anytime soon.

Burrall’s Pearls got a reaction from BigWinners in Region D finals
Martinsville is a good match up for Union. They are very athletic, so is Union but, the Bears are much bigger.
If Union keeps playing defense the way they have been, I can’t see them losing this one.

Burrall’s Pearls got a reaction from Hokie101 in Region D finals
Central had their shot night. Hensley probably didn’t play a quarter total in the game.
Key stretch was a 3 by Wise in the third qtr late gave them the lead and sent their fans bonkers. Dean then hits a three from the logo to shut up the crowd. Wise proceeds to turn it over and Dean makes two FTs for a huge 5 point swing.
I’ve seen these two play several times now. It’s a mental block, I think Pretty evenly matched teams, at some point you would think Central would win.

A) It wasn’t a foul
B) We missed too many FTs
C) Move on and get ready for next season.
Given how many close games we played this year, I hope we learned a valuable lesson. Make free throws and beat the hell out of people. Don’t stop, just run it up, you can’t let officials get involved.
Best of luck to teams moving forward this season.

Never heard of a coach stepping down like this during a tournament run. Strange to say the least.
Worst kept secret in Wise County. Wild career that involves various incidents that overshadowed a pretty mediocre coaching career.
God bless whoever gets that job. They are 5-6 years away from competing for anything and next season they could finish dead last.

Central’s girls aren’t very good. Probably the worst team since consolidating. I doubt they could win the SWD.

They still are. They’ve already won at Lee and at Union and have played at GC.

Harry Fry ain’t walking through that door.
GC is a basketball town (nothing wrong with that at all) now.

Burrall’s Pearls reacted to CriticalNoise in Union 56 Eastside 52
Yes one of the EHS guys had either committed a foul or drew a foul on Bartee on the floor. Bartee is walking off and something is said, Bartee turns around and goes back and is in the kids face and the zebras separated.
A senior trying to punk out a freshman and it bit them in the back. Union dominated after.
on a side note: Union V girls went on a 19-2 run to finish the game and win

Union started two freshman, two sophomores and a junior. This group is going to be good in a while.
Bad night for Eastside, really struggled offensively. Had the game in hand, tried to punk the young Union kids and they responded. Led to a double technical and from that point on the Bears dominated.
Maybe for the first time ever, Eastside is the worst boys basketball team in Wise County.

Best of luck young man at Penn State. He just committed.
Hopefully this won’t get deleted again - what is going on at VT? Here’s another local kid they have missed Why are they not going hard after Forest, Adkins, Lester, Allen, etc? They ditched Stout too and made no effort at McClung.
