Agree

The guy in this podcast says it better then I can. Some really good insight on other things that the VHSL needs to change.

Yeah, but they agreed with me and said it's not the same situation

"lived". I'll complain about what I want to complain about, thanks for your suggestion, however

For some odd reason, I don't know the living arrangements of every kid in SWVA.

Awesome!!

Those situations aren't close to what John Marshall is doing either. I did live in Richmond and worked in Petersburg, so I may know a little more about that situation. I know nothing about those other schools you are speaking of, you are right about that. It's comparing rotten apples and rotten oranges. I didn't claim either was the best way to do things...

It'll be interesting to see, if that indeed happens.

Not close to the same thing. The city of Richmond allows kids from within the city to attend any of the city schools that they choose. There is no "attendance zone". The rest of the state has to have kids live in the attendance zone. So, to play for Graham, a kid must move to the attendance zone, with a parent. A kid in Richmond does not have to live within the attendance zone. Richmond is a big place with a lot of kids to choose from. So, basically the best basketball players from Richmond can play for John Marshall without having to move to an attendance zone with a parent. These kids transferring from other states can move anywhere within city limits. Anybody going to Graham or any other school in the state of Virginia for that matter, must live in the attendance zone with a parent and must provide proof of residence. Not the case in Richmond. That being said, rumor is that John Marshalls head coach or CEO.....whatever the hell he calls himself ...will be at Petersburg High next year and most likely there will be a lot of those JM kids going with him. It will be much harder for them to be eligible, they will have to move to the attendance zone with a parent. I expect some of them will not be able to legitimately make that happen.

The John Marshall "in-Justices".

It's a foregone conclusion. I mean, nothing really to discuss. I hope they have fun ...

I'd say, give it your best and hold your heads High. Graham is representing their hometown. That other team is representing places from all over the Country. Graham is the winning team, no matter what the score ends up.

John Marshall 51-28 over Luray at half

Floyd 39 Graham 38 2:26 left in 3rd Back and forth game.

NFHS is in fact broadcasting from Radford University. No sound as of yet, but video feed is up

Floyd posted it on NFHS, but it says Floyd, Va as the location ...so that will probably show an empty gym. I would search VHSL on NFHS and see what pops up.

Brian Harmon is as good as they come when it comes to getting the best out of his players. Sort of like this year's Graham team, you can never count them out. They have some very good shooters, good guard play. Some size underneath (although a little slow) and a good full court press, when they choose to. Very similar to Graham's team. I think they are a better free throw shooting team then Graham and Graham is a little better disrupting plays on the defensive side, but not by much. Should be a good one.

Should be a very good game. Two teams that are fundamentally sound and very well coached. Brian Harmon vs. Todd Baker is a matchup of 2 coaches with a lot of knowledge of x's and o's. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Well, speaking of moving on. I'm hopping over to the Floyd vs. Graham thread. This re-hashing of "Men behaving badly" is getting old.

Could be their resource officer...

No more excuses for bad behavior..... Yeah, those dudes did a good job. Fun to listen to.

Lol...I'll take Floyd in OT

Game will be at Radford University. Not sure the tipoff time yet

No decision yet on game time
