The question is does Scott County get the Answer on Wednesday night?

Youd think GC hadnt been tested this year by the way people are going on about this 13 pt win against WC.  Sometimes a  team has a good game plan and executes well and plays their best game of the season.  Tip your hats to them and move on.....you got the win whether or not it was ugly.  I dont think GC played a great game in the least.....but ill give more credit to WC and what they were able to do. 
Id be willing to wager theres not another team in 2A that would go 4-1 against North Meck, Cleveland, Fern Creek, Science Hill, and Lakota East.  That stretch included 1 comeback win after being down 17 pts to a very good Cleveland team. The GC team last year would have caved after being down 17 pts.  So lets not overreact too much, this team is tested.....not just talented.

North Mecklenburg, Fern Creek, Cleveland, don't hold a candle to these teams "up north"....... 😉

The best ranking Mac had was during the summer and he was up to #30 PG in the nation by 247 Sports.  Thats an incredible feat....... BUT being #30 PG in the nation put him at like #203 player in the nation at that time.   Not even close to Top 20 player in the nation.  Im a huge Mac supporter but it is what it is.

No one likes to see their team and kids get pummelled.  I don't approve when a coach RUTS.  I don't have a dog in the fight, and I don't know Coach Vermillion or any history between Abingdon and Gate City.  Maybe he is intentionally leaving his starters in to embarrass his opponents.  But JMHO, it's also possible it's for unrelated reasons and blowouts are a byproduct.  I'd imagine he wants his starters with as many real-game minutes as possible heading into the playoffs.  He also has a player with a great shot at breaking some amazing records if he plays the majority of every game. So maybe the blowout tonight wasn't about humiliating Abingdon, but it was to prepare for Graham, Radford, Robert E. Lee, et al..while giving MM a shot at rewriting the record book.

Was a great Arby's experience for GC. We go 3-1 in the tournament. 
Great effort in a 16 point loss to North Mecklenburg........the #1 ranked team in North Carolina. Demolished Tennessee High by 36. Great 3 point win against Fern Creek.....the #2 ranked team in Kentucky (read that online. assume it is true.). Played a great game today in a 12 point win against Lakota East from Ohio. Lakota was a very physical, athletic team who played a tight man-to-man defense. 
Showed us things that we need to work on. 
 

I know it's because I'm from GC that it helps for me to remember him....but I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned Josh Shoemaker yet.  Kid was a brute and went on to play at Wake and played in the Euro league for a while.  Was a legit big man but wasnt used as such at GC.  Would say he has to be one of the best that's came from this area.  
 
I would have to say McClung is definitely the best since those guys and it's not even close.  Would also say hes got to be in the conversation of being the best ever from SWVA.   

Thanks man!

This game will be lights out.  Wish I was off so I could head to BSG to catch this one.  Good luck to both teams and hope everyone comes away healthy.  

Carter is a very nice pick up for RU.  Im sure he will be a much bigger impact player coming in that Mac would have been and you guys should be thrilled that you filled a big need.  But it seems like Macs decommittment rustled some jimmies of fans....obviously.  
I'm well aware how it works though.....its the usual college fan base reaction.  "Hes gonna be a stud and do big things and have RU rocking" while he's committed and literally a day later after he decommits "he's not impressive at all....not sure why Pikiell went after him".  It boggles the mind.

I like that first Benefit game.  Wish GC could have scheduled Science Hill and Dobyns Bennett for regular season matchups. 

How does a travel team post turn into this? These kids are doing well for the most part. The 8u team is very much improved. Lost their first 2 games and not lost a game since. The 10u is still a work in progress and have won two straight now. The 12U team can play with anyone on their schedule when they give their all. 

Jeff Van Gundy just mentioned Mac's name as being committed to Georgetown during the Washington Wizards vs. Philadelphia 76ers game on ESPN 

yea.....you guys are welcome.  Almost every coach I know patrols messages boards looking for all the right answers to stop opposing players. I've given everyone in the state of VA the keys to the Cadillac all in one post.  If I was a Radford coach and met against GC I'd scheme everything around the info I've provided here within these messages......enjoy. lol

I guarantee that he has a coaching job somewhere by next season. Not everyone has 1-ply toilet paper skin. 

Stacy was a great shooter.  He was too slow to do much else which is why he couldnt cut it at WCU or any other D1 school had he went there.  Pure shooter and there is nothing wrong with that.  McClung is much better overall as a player than Stacy was, but isnt the shooter Stacy was.  I really think McClungs defense probably isnt as bad as it seems sometimes.  I could be wrong but I think GC tries to use him to make explosive plays and stay out of foul trouble.

Sad thing is, I doubt it's a kid...

I am baffled. So much hatred for a kid in high school. I just hope you are also a teenager as well, if not, this is entirely embarrassing for you. 

Mac on SportsCenter again 

Not a snowballs chance in hell it happens.

Since I didn't hear mention of him being at school today on the board.....im guessing it never materialized.
