Recording the season preview tomorrow to be released on Thursday to coincide with the first day of practices. 

Last chance to get a question in!!

Over-under that Gate City has a "new" head coach by the end of the season.

From recent memory:

Game starts around the 17:00 minute mark. Who's that familiar face calling the offense for the Devils?

Beautiful. Thanks for the memories, kid. 

For those of us heading up to VCU, what should we know about parking/hotels or any other general advice about Richmond?

if it was me, I'd grab the check book and head towards Greeneville.

You mean grab the loose change in the cup holder, and head towards Scott County?

I have absolutely no clue about RE Lee. I'll say GC wins in a close one to bring home their first boys basketball championship.. 71-66

just remember McClung is gone after this year...

GC will still have two d1 players, and will likely still be a force in the region as we have been for the past few years.

We will, thanks.  Doesn’t take the shine off anything Graham accomplished.  We weren’t supposed to be here.  

Just having some fun, excellent season by the G-Men. 

Enjoy the Region D championship 

GC by 6-10. Hard to beat a good team twice. Not playing at Wise could be a good thing.

Honestly, any other venue in far Southwest Virginia would be closer to Gate City than Graham, thus being an advantage to the Devils.

If the Gate City and the fanbase wanted a better venue then they should have beat Graham last weekend.

Graham earned the right to host and have hosted state playoff games at TMS before so that's that.

Despite everyone thinking this is just the Mac McClung roadshow it's actually still the VHSL playoffs and with the system put in place this year, be it as bad as it is, this is what we have.  

^Guy is on fire. Beat Graham at Wise and GC could be hosting the game at Twin Springs.

3,200 simply isn’t enough, imo. If they do hold it there, the VHSL is going to lose anywhere from $10,000-15,000 dollars in revenue from this game. 

It definitely isn't enough, I agree 100% with you. The VHSL also knows they are losing money but they should have thought about that before letting the schools decide where they're going to play their games. This is a unique situation though. Most of the the years we wouldn't have this special matchup. Maybe this special matchup deserves a special venue (GCMS, jk) but what do I know, the best team will win and hopefully will go on to win the championship.

According to the VHSL School Directory, Tazewell holds 3,200.  That's about as "definite" as you will get...

No issues here then, if that's the case then Graham has every right to have the game there.

I would say TMS is at least 3000 and has hosted state playoff games before, so I don't see a problem.

A problem I do see is the VHSL ruining another opportunity for the kids to play a final four game at a big-time arena in a central location decided long before the season began. 

This right here.

I saw close to 4000 but I find that hard to believe unless it has been changed since I was there years ago.

If that's the case then I can't say I blame Graham at all for doing that, however if its around the 1500 mark that I have heard others talk about that's pretty crappy for the fans on both sides and the VHSL.

I would like to know how many people Tazewell's gym will hold before I tell everyone my most humble opinion.

Didn't some GC fans say that wouldn't happen earlier this year.... lololol

So many salty people in here.
