Ok

I asked why they didn't recruit locally a couple of years ago when Lusk took over (direct message).  I got a reply from the coaching staff that they were going to ramp up local recruiting.  I'm still waiting.

Radford is SWVA...

OT at the Prior center

Cam Allen is not the best player on Grahams team, that would be Drew Baker.  I would take Cam off the list and replace him with Baker.  Baker makes his team mates better.  He is truly a floor general.  Allen is not too shabby either 

Don't matter at this point. It's over. Graham won and Graham and GC were the best two teams in the region again.  U iin, Central, and Battle were closer than last year, but closer doesn't mean better then GC and Graham.

This.  And not only are most SWVA coaches lurking here, many from east of the New River do as well.  

I would favor Graham over Gate City without Ervin or with a limited Ervin.  Not going to matter once we reach the state playoffs though.

His father used to...you'd be surprised at the number of coaches that do read this board though...

Graham student section with a giant fat head of Fred Phillips is freaking hilarious.  G men uop 13-1 early 2nd period.

I wish him a ton if success, if it is indeed Mr. Akers.  Lord knows that he has had to deal with a ton of negativity.  He is after all a human and is dedicating his time to coach young men.  From an outsider looking in, nobody should have to endure the criticism that this man has endured while trying to coach kids.  If it were me, I would have left a long time ago and focused on the people that matter in my life.

Correct and he committed to CMU and coach Jim McElwain over the weekend.  Fantastic for him for this opportunity! Here's the article about it: http://www.cm-life.com/article/2019/02/deiyantei-powell-commits-central-michigan-football-chippewas-jim-mcelwain-mike-cummings-bluefield-west-virginia-recruit-commit-bio-story
I see Concord and schools in the WVIAC on the interest/commitment list for several of these local kids but I don't recall seeing BC much anywhere.  Does BC not even talk these local kids or is something else going on?

They could have won by 40 or 50 had they not worked on that halfcourt offense first three quarters, lol.  What a sad state of affairs for Richlands girls to lose to G-Girls who hadn't won a regular season game until tonight. Richlands had a respectable lead a couple times. I didn't think Graham girls would win a game this season, I stand corrected. 

Graham had poor decisions when taking shots and couldn't capitalize on turnovers etc. It was fast paced entire game. There were several times when it looked like Graham was going to really close the gap but Radford answered every time. Radford had three players on fire tonight, PJ, Cam, & Q. I look for Graham to improve but honestly not sure they'll go as far this year as last. 

To be fair to Graham, there is a lot of teams in SWVA down in Basketball this season. Graham is still going win the SWD and then GC & Wise-Central is going be tough games in Region D playoffs. But like Nick Saban says "Do your job and trust the process." Graham has some good players and they'll learn from these early losses.

Pulaski beat Broyhill by a bucket.
LaZboy edged Cat Napper.
Now time to head home and hit the Serta.

Probably left someone out, but I’m sure someone will help jog my memory

Rematch for Region D this year?  Unless there is a complete meltdown, I don't see anybody in the region that can take down  Graham or GC.
