When we look back on the end of the 2019 Football season what surprises will there be to speak of? Is there a team nobody foresees as a possible victor to grab the spotlight? Could the Central Warriors be much better than last year? Gate City perhaps return to former strength and division leader?? Thoughts please from all the talented minds of SWVA football folks!
The annual FCA SWVA All Star Senior Softball Challenge will be June ,10th at John Battle High School. Coaching the West All Stars is Hannah Cress of Battle. East All Stars are coached by BJ Buchanan of Northwood. This is a doubleheader. Games begin at 5.30pm
Soccer is a fun sport! Not as popular as other sports on this message board. Just curios who are top senior soccer players in SWVA. Both boys and girls.
I organized the games and let me say I was so proud of the Va boys! For 12 years Tenn had beat the Va guys. But with the addition of Graham and Radford boys we broke the streak! Drew Baker and Cam Allen are amazing athletes. Quin Morton Robertson was on a level like no other. His 3 point shooting in the second half was incredible! Miles Jones with his height was a kicker too! His defense and put backs on offence. Ben Hulbert from Holston opened the game up with hitting back to back 3's. Livingstone of Eastside played well. Race Moir was a presence inside rebounding. So proud of all the Va guys. Todd Baker of Graham did a great job coaching Va. They beat a very talented NET team who takes pride in their basketball. For Va to win was a huge accomplishment to say the least. Thanks Havok for showing up and supporting our guys!
The FCA Senior Girls game will be a East -West All Star Game with Tenn players mixed with Va girls on the West team . East team will be entire team of Tenn girls. This game will be fun also. East is coached by Bill Francis of Dobyns Bennett and Scotty Whaley of Science Hill. West is coached by John Hubbard former Abingdon coach. West has Va High, Galax , Cherokee, Unaka, Unicoi , and Cloudland.. East has Dobyns Bennett, Tenn High, Science Hill , Daniel Boone, Volunteer, Hampton, Elizabethton and Sullivan South. Game is at 6pm.
Tennessee boys team should win easily. Atwood was a finalist for Mr. Basketball in 2A. Wadsworth, Foreman, Webb and Cutlip are all stellar players.
I would imagine Whitson of D-B and Frazier of Ridgeview will be playing in the girls game. Would love to see that matchup.
Tenn guys just added 3 more players. Gavin Reece of Johnson County and Preston Quillen of Tenn High and Chad Heglar of Daniel Boone! Tenn now has 15 guy players! As far as Whitson she is playing . Bailey is not.. She has softball game.
