Nothing about education is easy. 
One of the most overworked, underpaid professions there is. 

I wanna feel bad for VHS, but considering the taunting & bad sportsmanship some of the players show on that team, I feel like they got what they deserved.

Seems like Va High and Graham would want to play at Lebanon too-that’s right in the middle for both of them 

Imagine thinking so highly of yourself that you make this statement in a public forum. 
 
Truly breathtaking 

It’s not like there’s a bunch of schools within distance of Wise, and Wise doesn’t have the draw that Bristol does in terms of hosting schools from way out of town etc.  More Kentucky schools would be good, I know Letcher came a few years ago
I agree that you don’t want to play a team 3-4 times a year, that’s definitely the drawback, but it’s a good chance for local kids to play in a nice facility in a tournament setting.

This tournament is a joke. 

I’ll take Va High over Ridgeview. RV always schedules weak early, builds up a gaudy record and then falls off. 

Probably blasphemy on my part but I think Lebanon’s gym the best in the area, especially after they redid the lights.
 
Va High is so dark and the crowd seems far away. 
 
The Hot Box is a fun atmosphere but too cramped 

In A ball Honaker, Patrick Henry and Chilhowie appear to be the cream of the crop with Grundy probably just below.  Cumberland is down this year-but the Hogo looks strong as ever 

Actually Lebanon won at home in 2021 on a buzzer beater 

A whole lot of folks who were recently mad about people recruiting AWAY from Richlands are suddenly going to become ok with the head coach recruiting TO Richlands. 

In softball they did with RC winning 3-1
 
In baseball they did not.

On the boys side, Graham and Lebanon are probably the two best teams with Honaker a tic behind. Lebanon split with Graham and swept Honaker although both games were very close.  Not sure anyone has anything for Galax or Radford, but I would be surprised if anyone other than these three teams won their respective Region Titles. 

Heres the thing about high school sports at most schools, most of the kids(50%) are just playing a game, 15% are working to play at the next level, and 35% are just playing to be a part of something. A coach whos "getting them prepared for college" is failing 85% of the children entrusted to his care. Be a leader, teach them, give them discipline and structure but "preparing them for college" is bullshit for the vast majority of programs and players in Virginia.

John Wooden could be a child's coach and the parent still would not be satisfied.
