The following writeup was in today's Bristol Herald Courier

 

Union 55, Letcher County Central 53

 

A free throw by Jake Barnett with 1:23 remaining broke a deadlock at 50 and Union hung on for a non-district win. 

 

Barnett finished with 16 points to lead the Bears (15-3).  Wes Slage added 13 points and Jay Gavin had 10 for the victors.

 

Letcher County Central (15-7) got 28 points from Torell Carter.

 

3-point goals - LCC 2 (Carter 2), U 3 (Slagle)

 

In the Blues victory last night against the Dawgs they had 13- 3 pointers, the Dawgs with 9. 

 

 

The Blues/Bears BB game is to be carried on www.wgth.net with starting time 6:00.

 

 

The Blues this year have been starting slow in their games and coming on strong in second half.  They need to set the tone for this game with quick scoring at the beginning and build on that.  They are a great team when they start clicking with their scoring, it picks up their defense also. 

 

GO BLUES!!!!!

Can't speak for any other Richlands folks as to why they sit on both sides but for me, I sit on the side opposite of the benches because it is the only side with spots for wheelchair access.

You Union fans are the biggest bunch of crybabies I've ever seen.  I used to think Gate City fans were the worst but you guys have taken that title and run away with it.

 

You're never happy about anything, even when you win...its always something: the fans, the refs, the food you ate pregame, you're team didn't win by 1,000 points, etc...

 

Why don't you act like a GROWN ADULT???  FREAKIN' RIDICULOUS!!!!

Every team has their "fans" that bring a bad reputation to a fan base. I've met alot of Union/PV fans over the years that were truly great people and class acts. A few bad apples will ruin the image of the whole bunch. If you choose to let a few douche bags of a fan base solidify your opinion of the whole group then that's your own ignorance. Overall, I feel like SWVA has possibly the classiest and most supportive fans of any area of the state.

1. Proper English and Grammar is appreciated on this board. 

 

2. I didn't know they were assigned seats at high school athletic venues... Guess you've never been to Legion Field.

Switching gears back to the game, it sounded like a really good one. Richlands has had a brutal schedule here at the end of the season, so the fact that they continue to play at a high level bodes well for them over the upcoming weeks. Despite not beating Union in one of these match ups, they solidified their spot in my eyes as one of the teams around here with the talent to make a serious run. There were a lot of fouls called in this game, and I think I remember that Noaks, Mitchell, and Ball all had four fouls beSore the end of the third quarter. Could someone say if it a pretty well called game or did the officials just not let them play?
