    Gofundme charges a pretty standard 2.9% for the credit card transaction plus $0.30 cents. 
     
    example: If you donate $100 to a Gofundme campaign then the recipient would get $96.80.
    As crowdsourcing goes, they are one of the lowest when it comes to fees.  
    They obviously net a lot of money for theirselves because of the volume they receive being #1 in the industry but that is a trade off you take for using a well known & safe platform. 
     
    If you can donate at First Sentinel bank  then I would encourage that but if you can’t make it then I’d also encourage to use the Gofundme. They can use all the help they can get right now.

    There is also an account set up at First Sentinel. GoFundMe takes an absorbent amount of the donations for themselves. I don’t donate through them if there’s an alternative.

    Smart choice in my opinion, but that's looking at it from the outside. Each person and situation is different and unique and there is no one size fits all. Kid's a baller and from watching him a few times, tough as nails.

    Grim news this morning seeing that prolific kicking coach Doug Blevins has passed. Heard they found cancer on him too late.
    He is the second coaching legend with local ties to pass this week. 
    Tony Colobro passed earlier this week as well. Coach Colobro had his hand on a number of programs, both high school and collegiate and was a tremendous man.
    RIP to these two great men.

    Heck of a game. Auburn certainly had their chance. I figured this game was going to be tight. Just two evenly matched teams. Newsflash.....my opinion only.....the Head Coach at Lancaster is a better On The Floor coach than the guy at John Marshall. It is hard to evaluate JM because their coach has to balance minutes, looks, attempts for players regarding recruiting and if I were in that situation, I would do the same. You kind of have to, but no question, the guy at Lancaster is very very good as well.

    And at ZERO times did I write that you couldn't complain.  It's your choice.  I've also complained.  We all have opinions.  I just wrote.....that in my opinion.....it's a bit unfair if someone all of a sudden starts doing their complaining AFTER the game is played.....AFTER Va High chose to play the game and that In My Opinion, it's a bad take.  That's all I wrote.
    I will write this again.  For fans of teams that make it to the state title or play JM in regular season, it's one thing as to whether you have a say so in playing them.  Most fans certainly don't have any say so.  But if you are an administrator or have some kind of influence on whether your team can play them or not,  then you are just as guilty as JM is.....again....in my opinion.  We all know that what is going on is unfair, or at least 90% of people likely hold that view.  If it's unfair, then DO SOMETHING about .  Stop playing them.  Stop it with the narcissism and rationalization by claiming, "we can't take this opportunity away for our kids" which is something cloaked in narcissism and a hint that the team that plays JM would do EXACTLY the same thing JM is doing if they were in that situation.  Here's the sad part......90% of schools WOULD do the same thing.  That's the sickening part.  My post isn't directed to you personally Observer.  I respect your opinion and you complain any time you choose as to each is their own, but I'm making the general complaint point for basically anyone that has influence, an admin or coach that has the ability to not play them.......should not play them.

    41-23 at the half with JM leading.  All the respect in the world to Va High.  Man, this bunch is something.  Mozzell (probably off on the spelling) could give a total of 2 rats arses about JM and how great they are.  That kid can play.   I know it sounds crazy and sure, VH is losing, but to be down by 18 at the half and holding them under 45 points is actually pretty darn impressive.  It will get worse in the 2nd half though as VH has major, major foul trouble.

    Congrats to our super 6 from SWVA who finished on the podium and earned All-State honors!! This tournament is different from the boys — there are no classes. In some brackets there were upwards of 50 ladies battling it out, and to stand on the podium is one helluva achievement.

    I don’t know the landscape of WV football but I do know they have a great coach! Coach Taylor is absolutely a class act. He cares about the kids and does a great job spreading the word which is something that is lost in this day and age of high school sports. What other coach would wear a shirt with a bible verse on in during the playoffs instead of the school colors! That tells me that he care more about what happens in these kids life’s long after that clock hits zero of that last game. I would want my son to play for a guy like that over a coach that wins multiple state championship but the kids get nothing out of it. Princeton will be winners as long as he is heading up that program regardless of what their record is.

    I got all the respect in the world for Princetons coach. I'm biased because he's also a Christian. But, we still got to keep stuff in perspective here guys. Princeton had never advanced past the 2nd game of the playoffs until last year and until last year, had only been to the 2nd game of the playoffs just a few times in its history. 
    Yes, a solid team last year, but the stars and moon aligned to where there were crazy upsets in round 1 and 2 that allowed them to somehow play at home in playoff games 2 and 3 before playing the state title game which is game 4 in WV. Princeton was supposed to travel in games 2 and then game 3 if there wouldn't have been pretty decent size upsets which both happened.
    Princeton lost a kid to WV and one to Air Force. They lost 2 Div 1 players. They will be good again, but Princeton with this current run is only like 3 years deep. There's still no indication that they are completely over the hump and now in the realm of a powerhouse program.  Jury is still out on them. I tend to think they keep trending up, but history is NOT on my side at all. History would say otherwise, but history is a weak predictor. The coach they have is incredible, on and off the field, but I truly believe the jury is still out.

    Everything you said is true. 
     
    But other than the D1 seniors that you mentioned Princeton only had a couple more than actually contributed. 
     
    They’ll be returning the majority of starters next season and will have the benefit of a much more even playing field in the playoffs. 
     
    Bluefield/Princeton/Graham have been sharing kids around for years with Princeton usually coming up on the shorter end of all of the moves.
     
    However, Princeton has gotten the better of Bluefield over the last few years. That helps them from losing kids to Bluefield & with a kid of Jennings’ caliber leaving Graham to go back to Princeton I’d imagine that will hurt the Princeton —-> Graham pipeline.
     
    Now they have the benefit of having a young energetic coach, multiple kids playing division 1 and a taste of success. And finally it seemed like the community has really rallied behind them. Hunnicutt is a big stadium and they were filling up the home stands. 
     
    Usually I would be on your side on all of this but I believe Princeton has had the perfect storm of events go their way in the last 6 months. I’m weirdly optimistic that they have turned the corner.
