Please doubt me. After being away from basketball around here for many years and after now watching this game tonight ( PM VS FLOYD )
im at a loss for words. Please let me start with this. I'm not sure about my original Galax Assessment all I know is I thought for a small school that they were as good as I ever remember seeing a small school be.
UNTIL tonight.
I'm literally sitting in Richmond now after watching a PM single A school play basketball. You can doubt me call me crazy call me ignorant all of that is fine. But what I'm about to say has to be said.
The PM GIRLS basketball team is the best program I've ever seen at a single A level .
For anyone that hasn't watched them please listen to this. I personally think they could beat or play with any highschool team in the state of Virginia. There are small college teams I can see them beating. Yes go ahead and call me ignorant but there are college teams I've watched in the past 10 years that this small A school could beat.
Whats going on? When did teams at small schools develope talent like this. I waited on their coach for a while to tell him how impressed I was but never saw him. Coach if you read these boards please know that I've never seen anything like what I saw tonight. Well done on building your program.
Someone told me to save my time running around SWVA and just go watch PM. Well you were so right .
Look I have two daughters that played small college ball. One was a point guard and the other was a 3-4 position. Neither of them would even start for this team and I'm not even sure they would come off the bench first.
I know things have chanced in the past 15 years since my daughters played high school basketball but what I saw tonight was amazing.
Well done Blues coaches, players , fans , community. You should all be proud of those ladies.
My tigers will have to wait a couple years because there's no way possible the PM team I watched tonight loses to honaker Galax or anyone else for that matter.
What a joy to watch.
The atmosphere was amazing as well. I sit beside a very nice older couple who informed me they knew I wasn't from around there. Of course I said why would you say that and they told me I didn't say GO BLUE at the conclusion of the national anthem.
Well you busted me from the start. I indeed was an outsider.
I will be checking the schedule and I will be watching these girls again. ( next time I may just say go Blue )
