I just like giving you hell B-Dub because you give it to me... all fun and games. No ill will on my part.

Thank you.

Sorry... my bad. I came across a little salty. Remembering that whole ordeal and McMinn County especially made me that way. But if the TSSAA had said we did anything wrong, they would have advanced McMinn County and not us. Their students showed up at Maryville the next week and made a big scene. That's why I get fired up just talking about McMinn...

Didn't Gate City last one round longer than Union?

Hi Beej.... how you doin...? Lol

The TSSAA must have not found anything wrong, since they advanced us and not McMinn... They were offered to come back and play the game two days later but refused. That's on them, not us.

That was McMinn County. And someone within the McMinn County program had COVID and didn't report it. Get your facts straight bud.

Not sure how the VHSL would handle such an atrocity, but a stunt like that in Tennessee would probably get you a 2-4 year postseason ban.

One of the Virginia High radio announcers is actually a Dobyns-Bennett grad as I am good friends with him. To me, a radio crew is supposed to be "homers". It's not like they're doing this for a national TV audience or something. Now every time Herbstreit does an Ohio State game, that is unwatchable.

Which was? For those who don't have NFHS....

Sullivan County missed the entire week after winter break, went back last week and now has been off all of this week so far, even though the roads were bad really only Monday morning. I learned on Facebook this week that Sullivan County closes due to extreme cold temperatures also not just snow/ice. Also there's a rule in Tennessee that if schools are closed due to weather then no extracurricular activities (namely sports events) can't happen either. So if Sullivan County doesn't go back tomorrow then the D-B and West Ridge basketball games tomorrow night will get postponed. Even though roads are perfectly fine.

Yes, that's sort of what it reminded me of. Wise Central to Dan River and Virginia High to Gretna and Ridgeview to Giles all come to mind.

@SXSW @JDHoss What do you guys think of the new TSSAA playoff format for 2025? Pretty wild to think that I may have to travel to Oakland for a second round matchup in the near future. If the new format would've been in place this year it would have been the Hill making that trip though and Riverdale would have been coming to Kingsport.

It's a shame Ridgeview isn't playing Perry Central in basketball. Perry Central has probably the best high school gym I've ever been in.
