Agree with both of these statements. Congrats Honaker!

Man, she keeps that thing ready like a pissed off fella chasing a fly in his living room with a fly swatter too lol! Our girls played them the night before she went off for the triple double against Grayson, and I asked some Bland coworkers about her the next morning. That's when I found out she was Stiltner's granddaughter. I was not surprised at all that she did what she did that night. We definitely reminisced about some of those Bland teams you had mentioned as well. The one I distinctly remember was the Patrick Smith lead team that fell short in the regionals. I believe Lebanon clipped them in the Regional semis that held them back from a GW/Bland matchup in the final. Lebanon went on to win a state championship that year with Scott Allen setting a state tourney record for assists. If Bland and Rocky Gap were consolidated at the time, I have no doubt they would have been capable of winning a state title that year. Truth be told, Bland was capable even without Rocky Gap in 90/91. They were right on par with Lebanon, GW, and Cumberland, who were the clear top 3 teams that season. Pretty sure that same bunch also went to the state tourney in 89/90 as well, but I could be mistaken.

Not the outcome we wanted, but expected a tight game. Both teams know each other very well after last season. Man, Auburn just seldom misses at the line....Or at least sure feels like that's the case lol

No doubt he got coal for Christmas

Yeah, undoubtedly they did the same with the D-B game and have them listed as home games. I have bad sources, guys lol! My mistake

Unfortunately, I'm watching from home or I absolutely would. And I feel their pain lol! Today was our 6th in 10 days, and that Mentor game last night should count for two 😂 We looked like we were wearing it a little bit in the early going. Noah is the truth, but it sure did feel to me like Carter was the difference today...He was a tough matchup for us today, for sure.

I actually haven't seen where we were playing back down that way after this week, but that certainly doesn't mean we aren't lol! I'll be on the lookout for it. The rest of the schedule I have has us playing at home or east the rest of the way. Some home games of interest are Roanoke Catholic (1/12), Dobyns-Bennett (1/20), Auburn (2/2), and Narrows (2/3).

Just occurred to me there were buzzer beaters at the end of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, too.

Thanks man, and we sure are. Gained a ton of confidence last week in Gatlinburg and the experience this week has brought us as been priceless. I have a feeling home games are gonna get a lot more crowded lol

I get it. All I can figure is that we were overly anticipating contending, but not fouling, a pull up. Rainey nearly nearly got a piece of that layup it appears, as well. So close man.

I appreciate you saying this so I didn't have to 😂 Helluva game. Tough way to lose, but in no way disappointed in our guys a single bit.

We've always had a fair amount of folks who move here after retiring. US Census has us at 8,177 as of July 1, 2022. 25.3% are 65 or older. Only 19.5% are Under 18. That 19.5% averages out to about 89 kids a year, and not all of those kids will be enrolled at GW. Some of them have Wytheville addresses but are closer to RR or FC so will go there. Some are homeschooled. Some enroll in one of two small private Christian academies here. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/wythevilletownvirginia/PST045222

Not gonna lie. I’m speechless

You serious?? Never would have made that connection. Not only does she get it from her dad, but she get's it from her grandpa Kenny. Kenny is the real baller lol

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year, everyone! Cheers!
