As Ryan knows, I also pull for Chelsea in the Premier League. My German team Wolfsburg is in the Bundesliga relegation playoff and currently have a 3-1 edge after leg 1, with the final leg today, so unless an absolute meltdown occurs, then Wolfsburg will stay in the Bundesliga next year. I don't have a TV channel that shows Serie A, Ligue 1 or the Spanish league, so can't get invested in those leagues. In MLS, I pull for the Red Bulls, who always seem to do well in the regular season and get bounced in round 1 of the playoffs. In other words, the Washington Nationals or Washington Capitals of the MLS.

Lol. People already dismissing the Wolfpack just like last year. :-p

Thought Abingdon was in the DB Tribe Classic? Or is this game part of that tournament?

I know for a fact that Jamie Harless of Lord Botetourt was one of the folks interviewed and was one of the folks who impressed the most.

Yeah. If you are a fan of A-Town maybe... Lol

Ridgeview plays at Abingdon tonight. I plan on being there. Haven't been to a high school baseball game since the Jordan Compton days at Haysi.

I thought Tazewell had that weird schedule this past year where they played first 5 away and last 5 at home. How did they work it out for the upcoming season of at least getting one home game down the stretch?

Wonder if @sixcat was paying attention in Spring Training when JD made the bold prediction that Ian Happ would hit the first home run of the 2018 MLB season and the last home run of the 2018 MLB season (in the World Series)? Well, JD is halfway there... :)

Bring em' on! :) Sweet! When I first heard the news yesterday, I knew this was coming... Lol. Since y'all have the Bradshaw, West Virginia pipeline sewn up, maybe we can hit the Pike County and Letcher County, Kentucky pipelines. :D

I have talked to 3 people who have said this is true. As if I wasn't already anticipating August already...

Stick and balls are only popular in Abingdon and Bristol. Lol

Yeah, that loss hurt me bad. I had them going to the final 8. But them and UNCG were my only flaws and I had UNCG going out next round.

Lmao. So, I used the Randomizer just to see what it would pick... It picked UMBC to be the first 16 seed to beat a 1 and a national championship game of Florida State and West Virginia. Fun-nee!

I'll give you a counterfeit $100 bill to go on Preps and tell lucustookis that. Lol

I was a Haysi boy. I didn't pull for Clintwood either. Lol I'm sure I will be. But as I said before... I am not pulling for a rival team. EVER. They didn't pull for us 2 years ago, cheering on Floyd County and whatnot, so just returning the love. It's a rivalry for a reason.

Yes, parking garage is $10 and it's your only choice TO park.

As Ryan said, Wise Central by 20+. But go, Buffalo Gap. Lol

I want Gate City to win................................. BUT, I think Lee wins.

My semifinals predictions for SWVA teams: 1. Wise Central vs. Virginia High (2A Girls) -- Might as well save Central a trip to Richmond and give them the crown now, nobody is beating them. Wise Central 55-45. 2. Abingdon vs. Lord Botetourt (3A Girls) -- This game is the one I will be attending tonight. Interestingly enough, these teams have already played 3 times this year with Abingdon holding a 2-1 advantage. This could be the game of the night. I'll go with the Lady Falcons in a close one. Abingdon 68-66. 3. Eastside vs. Parry McCluer (1A Girls) -- Much like Wise Central above, nobody is beating Parry McCluer in 1A. Eastside has the "home" court advantage but it won't matter. Blues win this one going away. Parry McCluer 75-57. 4. Eastside vs. George Wythe (1A Boys) -- This is the other contender for game of the night, in my opinion. A raucous Spartan student section awaits the Maroons. I think the home court advantage gets them through to the finals in a classic. Eastside 70-67 in OT. 5. Graham vs. Gate City (2A Boys) -- The rematch is here, in what is sure to be a jammed to the rafters Tazewell Middle School. The incredulous defense of the G-Men. The all out firepower of the Blue Devil offense. Which one wins out in the end? I'll go with Gate City to get the revenge tonight. They seem to play better in the smaller gyms and not so much on the spacious floors ala UVa-Wise. Gate City 83-75

It's too bad we don't have a pick em' for this like we do football. My predictions: Class 1 Girls: Eastside vs. Galax -- Galax Rye Cove vs. Parry McCluer -- Parry McCluer Class 1 Boys: Honaker vs. George Wythe -- Honaker Eastside vs. Covington -- Eastside Class 2 Girls: Virginia High vs. Chatham -- Chatham Wise Central vs. Martinsville -- Wise Central Class 2 Boys: Gate City vs. Radford -- Gate City Graham vs. Martinsville -- Graham Class 3 Girls: Abingdon vs. Brookville -- Abingdon Class 4 Girls: Carroll County vs. Loudoun Valley -- Carroll County

If you would've saw them at the Appomattox game cheering for Appo, then I am sure you wouldn't like them very much either. I mean, I sat on the Appo side too that day but that's because I had to. I hadn't met any of you Union fans or got to know any of you well enough for y'all to save me a seat on your side. Lol
