If you would've saw them at the Appomattox game cheering for Appo, then I am sure you wouldn't like them very much either. 

I mean, I sat on the Appo side too that day but that's because I had to.  I hadn't met any of you Union fans or got to know any of you well enough for y'all to save me a seat on your side.  Lol

That's so dumb. Why would they do that? Abingdon has no ties to Appo and it's closer to us anyway. Buncha jackasses.

 

I love the town, my grandparents live there and I've spent a lot of time there, but I never knew much about the school or athletics.

 

And Bearcat, yeah I expect them to exact revenge in baseball. It'll be BRUTAL lol

I agree. The town itself has a lot of history, and some nice attractions. 

A big percentage of their sports fans are entitled pricks, who think their crap don't stink. About 90% of the people involved with sports from Abingdon, that I've encountered in 30 years as a player, coach, or just a dad in the stands, all believe they are just plain better than people from other cities. They also believe that their kid is, without question, just using your kid as a stepping stone, on their journey to professional sports.

I've never understood why they are like this. Their sports programs have been average, at best, over the last 3 decades, with the occasional good team. Unfortunately, they have one of those good teams, right now, in baseball. Very few teams on this side of Roanoke will have enough to compete with them this year.

Any predictions on how Region D teams will fair this weekend? Thoughts?

Wythe beats Honaker around 10+ I'd say.

Eastside should beat Covington.

I lean towards Graham beating Martinsville. Definitely will be hard fought game though. Will likely come down to the end.

Radford will likely beat GC. I hope GC wins, but I believe Radford's defense will prevail. Their undefeated for a reason!

I'd guess one Region D team advances in both 1 and 2A. Likely Eastside and Graham, but I wouldn't be shocked if GC won.

I think Honaker, Eastside, Graham and Gate City advances.

Def cant see all four advancing, esp Honaker. I give them the smallest chances, followed by GC (40/60 Radford), Graham (60/40 G-Men) and Eastside (70/30 Eastside).

I believe Eastside, GC and Graham will win.  I hope Honaker wins too but they just don't have any size.  They had every chance to upset Eastside last week despite the size disadvantage however.

What's the saying, offense wins games, defense wins championships. It was Graham's defense that made McClung work hard for those 39 points he scored. I worry about Graham if Baker isn't back but I heard he's practiced past couple days. Hopefully, he's a 100% by Saturday or dang near close to it.  I hope they're all close games. I feel a little cheated when I go to tournaments games and see a blow out.

You and I both are going with Honaker. I'm picking Eastside over Galax because Eastside has played so much at UVA Wise.

Do you guy's think one would have any trouble getting a seat arriving at the Dedmon Center in Radford 30 minutes before game time?  Looks like it holds 3,200 and far as I can tell, this is the only game being held there Friday night.

Not a chance.  I saw where 1000 each have been sent to GC and Radford, so there is only about 1400 that will be sold at the door. The game is however being streamed on NFHS Network, but I'd assume you have to pay some kind of subscription fee.

I am not seeing anything on the nfhs website about it. Do you have a link?  I will pay the subscription.

You will have to pay to watch.

Gate City has failed to score 70 only 3 times in 29 games and you're suggesting "high 50's".  Wow!  Lofty goals, I like that! 

I know I will be here even if Radford wins.  Will you have to onions to come back if they don't?

Here kitty, kitty, kitty!!!!!

Like I said several times, Radford struggles guarding length! But, hey, we’re all entitled to our opinions. Even if yours was wrong. 

Hope you come back!

Radford has only given up 60  three times. They will slow the tempo down, GC will have fewer possesions. Gate City is very good and will still score alone more than the 43 points a game that radford gives up. I would put the over under around 58, 59. like I said a very good close game.

Oh, yeah I will be here. You will have some explaining to do. Can't wait.

Come on back now!
