Central and Ridgeview both indeed did win tonight setting up tomorrow's final in Wise. Both teams victories were far from easy though based on Kevin Mays' Twitter updates.

Castlewood and Ridgeview both won handily tonight in the Breaks tournament, setting up a final tomorrow. Hurley and Council will play in the consolation.

Wings: Quaker Steak and Lube = the drizzling you know what Beef O Brady's = :-( Buffalo Wild Wings = great East Coast Wings = that feeling you get when you get when you're Justin Verlander and you just got home with Kate Upton clinging to your arm I LOVED East Coast Wings! That harvest apple sauce you kinda feel will suck because seriously apples and chicken, but yet, it's so strange you just got to try it? Well, do yourself a favor and TRY IT!!! It's the most amazing sauce ever. I work for Food City and we actually are starting to get some GREAT craft brews in stock. Founders All Day IPA and Breakfast Stout are immensely popular nationwide. Dale's Pale Ale is also. I love me some great high gravity brews, but usually have to go to Peabody's in Boone, North Carolina to get them. Double and even Triple IPA's are my specialty.

I bowled last night. I scored a 113. Don't be hatin... Lol.

Your fellow Haysi boy (me) is making the trip. I'll be channeling my inner James Colley and will be wearing shorts. :D My buddy from Coeburn is meeting me in Abingdon and riding up with me.

Will be heading over tonight to see the new gym for the first time and taking in the opening night games of the Breaks tournament. Hoping to at least see one competitive game... I know Castlewood is probably going to stomp a mudhole in Council's hind end and walk it dry, but wonder how Hurley will match up against Ridgeview?

Yeah, I am from Dickenson County, but live in Bristol now, and can't tell what kind of competition Union is, but the BHC has already previewed the Hogoheegee and considers GW to be a state championship contending team in 1A. I honestly don't think either team will have an easy semifinal, but I do agree with you that both Central and Ridgeview will probably win. Wished I could see it, but I will be in Salem tomorrow.

They beat us pretty bad in last year's regions. However, they lost the two best players they had to graduation I thought.

You got me there... no comeback for that one. Lol.

Run run run run run run run run run run run Booooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! That GW-Riverheads game was over in an hour and 40 minutes. Hate teams that run the ball every damn play. It's so boring. Lol. May be like that in the 2A game too, but I'm excited because I haven't seen either of those teams yet.

I think fans everywhere criticize coaching, whether it's another team or whether it's their own. Section of crowd I sat in at Wytheville Saturday were getting all hostile with GW's coach for not throwing the ball, or when they did throw the ball, they wanted that screen pass to be a deep ball. People that used to wear red were calling for Rick Mullins' firing about halftime of the Wise Central game in week 2. My Facebook timeline lit up... Lol. Obviously things got much better as the season progressed and things quieted down... I'm from Haysi, and I can't criticize. Even though Colley had the offensive mastermind, it's Mullins who has a ring. I think I seen another thread on here where fans criticize their own team (Giles maybe?). Like I said, I think it happens everywhere. Haters gonna hate when adversity rears its ugly head, but they'll be your best bud when things are peachy keen. If Richlands had beaten Appomattox, I'm sure Mr. 4A would have been like... "Boy, I sure wished I worked for coach Mance, cause he's so cool..." My two cents about the original topic. As far as golf goes, I once hit a hole in one on a putt putt course. :D

They could possibly play Ridgeview this weekend, not sure how the Ridgeview tournament bracket is set up. The four teams are Ridgeview, Council, Hurley and Castlewood.

How did Tug Valley do this year? I remember them beating us last year (Haysi) and everyone thinking how huge of an upset that was at the time after we had just taken care of business against Clintwood, but then Tug Valley went on and went to the final 4 in West Virginia 1A, so then it didn't look like it was as big of an upset as everyone thought.

This should be fun. Are you doing it on the straight up method or the confidence method? I'm probably going to wait at least a week before I do my entry. I usually like to watch the ESPN Bowl Mania special first to see what McShay is picking. Lol.

Yeah, I talked to a BHC reporter on Facebook last night. He said that in the boys, nobody is touching Union or Gate City. But in the girls, he thinks like me, that it could be a three team race with us, Central and Gate City.

Mine is what my original Twitter handle was... But now I changed the handle and have since added another one. Lol.

Ridgeview 70, Grundy 43 Final, in the boys game.

Schedules for what? Lol.

Ridgeview 65, Grundy 35 Final, in the girls game.

According to Kevin Mays, Ridgeview girls lead at the half over Grundy 27-15.

Seriously?! That is freaking awesome! Is he the head coach?

About four years too late, but yes, Lusk finally resigned after another embarrassing season. They can't possibly be any worse than they were under his tenure there.

We would very much welcome him. Maybe with a new head coach coming in at Wise, he would be utilized to the best of his abilities as well. :-)

A very nice girl from Essex who is a mother of one of their players started friending a lot of Haysi folks, including myself, on Facebook after the Haysi/Essex game last season. I usually message back and forth with her after every game during the season, finding out how they did, giving her updates on who to watch out for from the West, etc. She stated that Essex had a new AD this season and didn't want to play the Galax game at King William because of that rivalry. The fans wanted the game at King William because KW is only 20 miles away. King George is closer to 40 miles away. She also stated that their away and home stands combined couldn't have held the Big Red Army last year, but like I said in one of the other threads, if they had played the game at Essex, that would have been ok. It was their right. I would have stood on the sideline and still had a blast. The amount of their fans that showed up to that game vs Haysi last year was so sad to see. They only had 20 miles to travel, whereas we had 5+ hours and we outnumbered them almost 10 to 1 in fan support. They are undefeated but have actually had a very tumultuous season. One of their players was lost for the season and was lucky to be alive after being ran down by a car in the parking lot after a game by an enraged fan from the other team.
