I guess the Crockett team from a couple of years ago was pretty decent, and Science Hill caught a bad break that may have cost them 1 state title when Shannon Hale and another kid transferred to Christ School a few years ago, but other than that, it's been really lean. 

To the pit of misery! Dilly Dilly.

Well deserved!

I think the real MVP is "vhsl.org".  The beauty and functionality of that website is amazing.

I pretty sure @Ryan4VT could beat my @$$ with one hand while videoing and editing with the other.   The fight doesn't scare me.  It's the thought of my kids watching the beatdown to a Celine Dion song.

Congrats to this class act and his Lady Warriors. This team is supposed to be in rebuilding mode,but as always under Coach Dotson they are winning,and today in a deep field tourney in Orlando,they brought home more hardware,besting  Annapolis Area Christian School in the finals of the KSA Holiday Classic 43-38 to move to 8-0. Well done coach and ladies

Media Man, I'm going to take your microphone. Shine it up real nice .Turn that sumbi%ch sideways...

That’s the bottom line. Lol

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. 

Great news for the Bucs.  
I like this HC hire better than the one by that other school down US Route 11.

Thanks for the kind words.  The brutal truth is that I have very little idea about what I'm doing as a dad.  But I pray a lot, I have good kids, and my own parents and in-laws (who were/are absolutely brilliant) are available to help us out when we need advice or actual physical assistance.
The other thing that I have alluded to but haven't really mentioned outright is that his interest in playing college soccer waxes and wanes.  When he first started hearing from colleges, he was understandably excited.  When I explained to him that it was primarily because of his size and speed, he was actually offended.  I then had to explain to him that those factors at least opened doors for him in a way that most players (including those who may actually be a lot more talented) will never experience.  It's all a lot to digest for a 15 year old.  
We do have a level of comfort based on other factors that we can always draw from in this process.  We will have the ability to send him to just about any college he'd like to attend -- will require some sacrifice in certain cases, but we can probably handle it -- and he apparently will be able to choose from some attractive options.  And from a spiritual perspective, Jesus is his savior -- so we know that the longest term issues are already well in hand.  Ultimately we do give God the glory and credit -- and I must confess my shortcoming for not acknowledging that foremost in this thread from the very beginning.

I just took the time to read your thread, @RichlandsAlum. 
It's so refreshing to have a parent who has a realistic view of their kid's athletic potential at the college level.  
Kudos to you for helping him make HIS decision.
The future is bright for your son.  Nice job, Dad!
 

I literally laughed out loud at work when I read it, and I'm a Marion fan.

David Mitchell -  Coeburn (Played basketball and baseball at UT)
Billy Joe Berta - PV (nice career at King and coached at one of the Morristown schools for a good while)
Barry Hamler - PV (Marshall and Clinch Valley, was a starter at Marshall and really, really good at CVC and was head coach at Elizabeth City St in NCAA DII)
Jerry Meyers - PV (nice career at CVC and coached girls BB at Volunteer and Lee)
Eric Fugate - GC (Pretty sure he either played at King or Milligan)
Hobby (sp?) Stuart - Appy (good career at CVC)
Jason Horton - Twin Springs/GC (played at UNC-Asheville and if he's still at Food City, he's probably the tallest employee in the history of their company)

Even the Police Blotters are tough to read in the BDT.
