I thought it had to be a neutral site-last year was the exception due to Covid

Parry McCluer goes down

It was definitely an entertaining game-and TS still had to make plays-I am just saying as a guy who has no skin in the game on either side that it sure felt like the officiating was trying to make sure the #1 seed advanced…especially in the final 3 minutes

Lol-there were about 5 calls down the stretch that saved TS. It was about as one sided as I have seen

TS won by 2….they benefited from some questionable officiating down the stretch.

Honaker and Eastside played a tight one a couple weeks ago-I think it’s a tossup for sure. Lebanon is young like Honaker-both teams only play one senior-I think that is part of why they have dropped a lot of close games. Russell Co going to have a lot of expectations in Region D the next two years.

Hurley/Burton Vs Northwood Eastside @ Honaker Holston @ Grundy Lebanon @ Twin Springs

Region 1D tourney is pretty set Hurley/Burton/Eastside vs Northwood Burton/Eastside winner vs. Honaker Holston@ Grundy Lebanon @ Twin Springs

Plus when Buchanan consolidates the new school will be AA for at least the first cycle

I was going by what was in Kingsport paper but I could be incorrect

Cumberland 1. tS 2. Burton 3. Cove 4. Eastside 5. TW 6. Castlewood BDD 1. Grundy 2. Honaker 3. Hurley 4. Council 5. Twin Valley Hogo 1. Northwood 2. Lebanon 3. Chilhowie 4. PH 5. Holston 6. Rural Retreat M7 1. Union 2. Abingdon 3. GC 4. Ridgeview 5.Battle 6. Lee 7. Central SWD 1 Va High/Graham 3. Marion 4. Richlands 5. Tazewell

Um….no

The Osborne kid from Abingdon would like a word

Graham goes down

Graves has obviously improved, but he doesn’t do near what Bunch does. GC held Graves to 12 last year and outside of scoring he doesn’t bring a whole lot to the table….give me Bunch 10/10 times.

In the span of almost a week we have seen in the Cumberland Cove beat Eastside Burton beat Cove Eastside beat Burton Eastside beat TS TS beat Burton TS blow out Burton In the Hogo you have Holston beat Chilhowie Northwood beat Lebanon in OT PH beat RR Northwood beat Chilhowie Lebanon blow out RR Chilhowie blow out Lebanon RR beat Holston PH beat Northwood 1D is wild

Twin Springs blowing out Norton

I feel like Lane from TS and the guard from Northwood have an argument as well.

Eastside dominates Twin Springs. I think you definitely have tiers in 1D but there is no favorite. I would put Tier 1 as Eastside, Burton, Cove, Springs, Northwood and Lebanon. These teams are all 50/50 matchups depending on the night, officiating, who shoots well etc. The contrast in styles is interesting. Eastside/Cove are methodical defensive grinding teams. Northwood and Springs highly dependent on two stars with solid role players. Lebanon and Burton pressure oriented teams who force a lot of turnovers. I would put Tier 2 as Honaker, Grundy, Chilhowie and Thomas Walker and possibly Holston/PH. These teams can beat a Tier 1 team but it’s more like 70/30 in favor of the Tier 1. In a one game scenario that’s more than enough odds. Tier 3 is everyone else-they can possibly beat a 2 but not a Tier 1.

Why are you lecturing me about personal attacks? You are not my professor. You are the one who cried foul when your narrow viewpoint was challenged. PM may well win it all again….or perhaps Lancaster will…or it may be a dark horse. The whole purpose of looking at scores, styles of play, injuries, officiating and everything else we discuss on a message board is to try and figure out what could happen in a single night of basketball that hasn’t occurred yet. Right now we have actual evidence that PM isn’t 20 points better than Narrows or Auburn, so it isn’t unreasonable to think that a team from 1D could beat them in a one game scenario.

Burton almost beat the unbeatable PM last year without 2 starters in the semis. Also, if Hamilton has been out for stretches all year, why would you make that an excuse and point to the Narrows game an outlier? And believe me, it crushes me that you, a name/bunch of numbers with poor grammar who pretends to understand basketball on the internet refuses to take me seriously if I don’t mention Union.

This is inaccurate-apparently the big man only had cramps late in the game and played almost the entire game. Someone who watches as much NFHS as you probably should have observed that.

Lebanon blew a 20+ point lead but ended up beating Narrows double digits. Then Lebanon blew a 15 point lead against the Tigers last night. Seems to me that PM might not be the unbeatable force you claimed

The hyperbole is as strong as your drink today apparently.

Honaker beats Marion and Rye Cove(while shorthanded) and gets boat raced by Twin Springs and Lebanon. Rye Cove barely beats Tom Walker gets beat by Norton then turns around and drills Eastside and Twin Springs Single A tourney is going to be wild
