Todd Baker Interview District 2 Podcast (Central MS Girls secret weapon)

Mon, 11 May 2026 22:26:20 +0000

Listened to this and most hilarious part was Coach Baker talking about a group of middle school girls sitting behind Graham’s bench during playoff game at Central Wise and every timeout they would scream to the top of their lungs. Perhaps, maybe use a different tactic next time to distract GMen. 😂😂😂 It was funny to hear him recount that story. Now I’m going to have to go to the NFHS broadcast and listen during one of the timeouts.

Best 20 seconds of her career

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:20:07 +0000

https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-girls-basketball-dallas-center-grimes-crazy-comeback-against-norwalk-ava-smid/70631949

Inbound for 2, then two steals on opposing team’s inbound for 4 more. The DGC apparently didn’t lead the entire game until that point. I’m presuming opposing coach didn’t have timeout. Crazy few seconds of basketball!

Wild replaying part of game 2 days later , not finishing from replaying.

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 02:18:05 +0000

Due to scoreboard error in 3/2, game will be replayed from 54 seconds left in 3rd quarter tonight 3/4.

https://www.matrixmidwest.com/2026/03/04/mshsaa-scoreboard-error-forces-mo-high-school-basketball-playoff-game-be-replayed/

Shouldn’t these things be fixed during the game? It made me think of that Tazewell/Richlands game & the other game where Boyd kid from Richlands only had 3 fouls but was given 5th due to it being wrong on scoreboard (I think I read that on one of the threads here).

SWVA/ A or AA basketball teams that should’ve went far in the tournament but never got over the hump in past 5 years.

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 02:12:43 +0000

Best teams in SWVA single a or double that were supposed to make it far but never got over the hump. I’ve been thinking back to all the solid teams the past few years that just never met expectations.

Gretna 67 Martinsville 66 final

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 01:34:17 +0000

Bulldogs took a 2 point lead with 17 seconds to go. The Hawks worked it around to get a good shot and M'ville stole the ball and in for a easy layup but the player decided to try and dunk it and missed and then fouled on the rebound with 3.5 seconds to go. Gretna makes the first ft but missed the second. The Martinsville player missed timed his jump and the big Logan kid from Gretna got the rebound and scored at the buzzer. Exciting game, had a near fight in the 2nd half and 2 Gretna fans were kicked out of the gym, then had a altercation after the game between a Bulldog player and the Hawks head coach, can't beat Friday nights at the gym. Good luck to everybody left in the tournament.

Lebanons Reece’s Best Sport Survey

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:46:59 +0000

Tim Hayes released and article showing a survey of what Reeces best sport is. Many said football but a handful still said basketball. Knowing many of you have seen him play both I wondered what you all think. Football or Basketball?

Personally I think in terms of highschool football and basketball I think Reece is better on the hardwood. Football is the sport where it’s a team the most out of any, and as many of you have seen, he’s not had the most help on the field the past four years.
In basketball he has been surrounded by pretty solid players since his freshman year and is still closing in on the school record for points and has the record for rebounds

Fort Chiswell’s Owen Jackson hits 1,000 pts as a sophomore tonight against George Wythe. He’s did it in history making fashion, the player to do it the shortest length of time in the state.
