Union turning it over like four times in last minute didn’t help

I think both are top five. Union Leb GC VHS Graham and Central are clear top six.

Very tight game. Union is def top five in region D

Union plays Leb tonight? Where?

Same. Makes no sense.

Bears led from get go snd won by double digits.

Union won easily

Union gonna be super rusty, haven’t played in a week plus IIRC

Union had game won

I wouldn’t have. A problem with having Wise that high, but VHS didn’t beat Wise by 20 on their home floor either IIRC

Graham lost by 20 to VHS at home. Can’t see ranking Graham ahead of them. id go GC at top, then VHS-Leb-Central-Union-Graham in some order but with VHS squarely ahead of Graham.

Union might get railed

Union collapsed in fourth. Tons of turnovers.

Yeah the tourney won’t count in M7 standings. Union off to a fast M7 start, a win here and they’re in good shape for the stretch conference run.

Who are the home teams? Wise/Union should be interesting.

I don’t believe Graham is the clear by far top team in 2D if they’re losing by 20 at home to just a pretty good VHS team. I think there’s a pack of 6-8 teams that could all either win the region or lose in round one.

6-8? I may take the under on that lol, they were just wholly uncompetitive this year. It is possible tho esp if they adjust their scheduling tendencies, going from very good 2A and bigger competition to some good 1A and mid level 2A teams.

A little diff situations, the injury risk in basketball is nowhere near the risk in football when talking about teams with wildly different skill and athletic talents.

No, I don’t believe so. I believe they’re the best public school in VA regardless of classification.

Lebanon wins by 11 in OT, out scoring Bears 17-6 in extra period. Pioneers led entire game.

Agreed. I understand needing to get the story up ASAP, that’s how it works with covering a game but if you’re gonna let the emotions of a performance cloud your writing, you should wait and view it more objectively. Pulaski ain’t beating Narrows anyway IMO, could play 100 teams and the Wave gonna win 90+.

“ It felt like they went through the motions and all but quit.” I mean I dunno maybe I’m in the minority here, it just seemed like an awful harsh tone overall.

He might be a nice guy I have no idea. It just seemed harsh to go in so hard on a HS team for a news outlet, even if it’s the hometown team. Quoting the coach is totally inbounds and was fine, but repeating those adjectives in your own context just seems rough for a group of HS kids.

I don’t think that’s an appropriate write up for a HS game. These are 14-18 year old kids being berated by an adult with a platform. Seems a little excessive.

How many teams? Seems like it might be worth driving to VHS if it’s multiple games.
