I'm glad to be back on the site after a little break following a great football season in SWVA. Congrats to all of the teams who had success and good luck to everyone next season. Hopefully any kid who was injured, has healed or is close to being 100% by now.
It was pretty awesome to have my son recognized as one of the top players in 2A. We're definitely looking forward to the fall of 2018.
In the meantime, he is heading into his Junior season and 3rd year as a starter for the VHS baseball team. If they stay healthy, VHS could possibly rival the 2014 and 2015 State Championship winning teams. They should actually be deeper than both of those teams (even without a handful of transfers ?). In all seriousness, the 2014 team wins State even without their Honaker transfer. I probably can't say the same about 2015, but I digress lol.
Here in Bristol, we knew years ago, that we had a great run of homegrown talent starting with the 2013 team, thru the 2019 team. 2013 choked against GC in Regionals. We all know about 2014 and 2015. 2016 blew a late lead against Goochland with with a 4 error, 5th inning in the State-semis. 2017 was upset (but straight up beaten) by the eventual State runner-ups. 2018 has great talent and great chemistry. I'll say again, that if this group stays focused, they have a potentially special season ahead of them.
For anyone who isn't very involved in basketball (or anyone at all, really) who would like to share some info/insight on their team(s) for the upcoming season, please feel free.
what does the squad in bristol have returning for this year?
Letcher Co qb is just as good. Marion's qb is right behind grahams qb. John battles qb had probably one of the best set of legs for scrambling in region d. Graham is no joke but no Richlands d is not as good as unions. It's probably the closest to ours talent wise but not better. Bluefields d I have not seen in person to make a judgment call on. Everyone wants to say Richlands held union to 13 which they did. Guys that's a rivalry game and we know how rivalry games go. They are very seldom a blow out. I talked about that last week. Marion fans saying Richlands held y'all to 13. Look at last night and the rest of the season and see what union has done to everyone besides Richlands. We hammer them. I'm not saying we will hammer Graham but I promise this. It's hard for grahams offense to score when they don't have the ball. Union is playing ball control offense and shut down d. If union can keep the ball away from Graham and stop Graham on at least two drives (which is very reasonable) then union wins.
Allen from Graham and The Lathrope kid from V high are the best in region D imo I think it's a no brainer
