Couldn't have said it better myself. I believe the Hairston kid will grow at least a couple more inches before he leaves Bluefield. That will make him at least 6'6. That might help. You are correct about not having alot of height coming out of a small school like Bluefield. When I graduated from Beaver, I was 6'8" and left ETSU 6'10". SO The potential for the Hairston kid to grow 2-4 more inches is not out of the realm of possibility, being that he is just 15-16 years old.

Bluefield is a young team...they lose the Flack kid and chance Johnson. The Gore kid will probably replace Flack next year. Looney, Fuller are juniors and R J Hairston is just a sophomore. The future is bright for this team.

Good luck Beavers! Despite my love for Isaac McKneely, I hope you all bring it back. Good group of kids and I’d love to see them rewarded. Gonna take their A+++++ game.

Well, I actually probably would like a McFlurry!!

Tazewell County still has mostly diesel buses and they are paying a fortune right now for fuel. I'm sure it will have an effect on field trips / Road trips for games for next season etc... if the gas prices don't go back down by the end of the summer. If the high gas prices continue into the fall and winter, I can see having more quads for basketball with all teams going on one bus. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of the more rural counties go to a 3 or 4 day week for middle and high schools with a virtual day or 2 or something like that during the week. Hopefully, it won't come to that. But rural schools don't have limitless budgets. I'm hoping Tazewell County lands some of the proposed money from the state to improve the school buildings.

As an employee of a McDonald's Owner/Operator, I'm forbidden from purchasing anything from a competing element...you'll get a McFlurry or nothing at all...
