Surprised this would be allowed. School districts in the Shenandoah Valley and central VA aggressively redraw districts to keep schools at the top of their classifications. Note the 3 Charlottesville area high schools being in the Top 4 in 3A. I’m positive the VHSL being headquartered within an hour’s drive has nothing to do with this.

TJ is the administration now at Central if I am not mistaken after Collins retired in September. That being said, I really found no fault with the sign. Those who were offended are getting awfully soft. It was harmless and the response at the end of the game was appropriate. It should all be considered good fun IMO.

I am always amused when GC folks brag about hammering Central in boys basketball like it's some kinda big deal to chest thump about. )The M7 in boy's b-ball has been a 1 horse race since the get. Beating Central in boy's basketball is no feat at all. Beating their girls is noteworthy. I also wonder why literally every time GC and Central play in boy's b-ball there's always a big dramatic list of posts talking about scrums,near scrums...etc. When you play someone multiple times and BOTH sides get chippy EVERY single time then that's BOTH coaches not getting their kids in line. At some point it is the responsibility of both coaches to have a little pow wow and say "Enough of this crap. We need to represent our communities better than this".

Finding a quality basketball ref in SWVA is like Haley's comet. It happens once every 77 years

I've seen Vermillion come way out of his coaching box many games. I don't think he's innocent in all of this.

Graham G-Men ... 2018 State Champs!

Ha, I was just poking fun. Plus, this GC-Abingdon thread needed a little spice 😉 As for the popularity of our fan base, that’s more subjective, but I’d venture that it has more to do with our trophy case, all time winning percentage, and maybe even a train horn, than it does from a few posts on this board. But hey, I didn’t go to UVA, maybe you guys could do an exhaustive, federally funded study on it. 😉

I know alot of sensitive fans would disagree......but I for one didnt mind the Christmas sign at all. It's just trash talk between kids that are having fun and that's been going on since theres been rivalries in sports. I've seen far worse on signs.....some of the stuff I used to see on signs at the GC vs PV or GC vs Graham football games in the 90s would make a sailor blush. Snowflakes now just get butthurt way too easily. Was surprised at the number of whiney comments about that sign I seen on social media. I'm all for the trash talk and such....just as long as it doenst go too far on the court and no one gets hurt. I will never miss a Central vs GC game if I can help it. I've come to expect a total chit-storm everytime.... and so far it hasn't disappointed. It's the only game every year I can count on seeing something completely out of the ordinary.

First, who coined the term “scrum”, lol. Second, both sides ARE at fault. Wise plays like TJ did in high school. He played very chippy and annoying to try to get opposition riled up to mess up their game. I don’t know how much he has coached players to take kids out so can’t say much about that. Wise fans were allowed to hang a sign saying “Merry Christmas to everyone except GC”. That falls on the school administrators as much as TJ. With the history of these teams, why allow something that starts a riff between crowds (much like the diapers on sticks at GC) before the game starts? If the schools truly want it to end, step in and make it clear that it needs to stop. Stop whining about each other on message boards.

Chasin the extremage deem. Pullin his green water ladder men coat out. Claimage a title in later 30 sumthing. I Dook laff my tail bone off. I tode Vern Pine Ears owned State later 30's.

Bet money you had to google the zip code.

I don't hold Graham responsible for you. I'm sure not all of the fans from Bluefield are as arrogant and obnoxious as you are on here.

Graham was clearly the best team in 2A by seasons end. I dont think it would have mattered who they faced in the finals.

Grundy boys won 73-71 Grundy girls won 57-42

And actually something you wouldn’t know anything about.

I hate Chilhowie didn't win as you all picked but glad Brady was on point about Graham and Ryan and Coach Duble were wrong. Graham dominated! Enjoyed both the interviews!
