Central will be an interesting team to watch.  Collins is their best player but they will be adding Horne that likes to dominate the ball as well.  Then next year add Hayes to the mix.  

The team with the least amount of unsportsmanlike penalties will win

well apparently every player in SWVA transferred to a different high school this year!!  lmao  Kind of shocked Wise girls didn't have one or two!!

They got Moore from Union.  She will be a huge contributor in the years to come.

Now hearing that it could have been at another Wise Co school.......

Rumor swirling this morning that a M7 coach was arrested?  Not sure if it was a head coach or assistant.

Enthusiasm and energy is one thing, but yelling "Lets Go!" at the top of her lungs and staring down batters going to the dugout is a little much.  The ump behind the plate warned her when they played Lee Tuesday.

This is one reason I have a hard time watching college softball.  Most of the pitchers scream to the top of their lungs and stomp their feet when they get a strikeout.  However, in college baseball a pitcher and/or batter is ejected if they show any emotion.  Act like you've been there before and just play the game.

Hearing several rumors about a mass exodus with this news. 

Any news on the Ridgeview girls vacancy?

Maybe Central?

 

I think you may be right on that.  From what I'm hearing, she might not be the only Moore going to Central.

Wouldn't surprise me if Bostic and Moore switched positions.  Bostic's son is currently playing and Moore has a daughter that will be coming through in the next couple years.

I heard that Barry Ruff was interested in RV Girls Job.  He always had Eastside girls playing good.  As a Pack Fan would love to see him get the job. 

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Dickenson Co hired someone that was fired (asked to resign) from their previous job....

This is waaaaaaay out of left field, but isn't Zac Ervin graduating this year?  Is there a chance he comes back home?

What brought him to Ridgeview from Texas?

 

He has family in the area.

Rumor out of Dickenson County is that Steve Villani is out as the baseball coach......

The officiating in the RV/Union game was atrocious, but that's not what lost it for the Pack; lack of composure did them in.  Two technical fouls and multiple moments of players whining to the officials.

Connor Roberts DL, Cannon Hill TE, and Brandon Beavers WR have all signed with the Wasps.  Link below shows most of the signees.

Not seeing Beavers on that list nor has he posted anything to social media.

If JV players play on the varsity it is my understanding that in Virginia they can not go back to the JV team. Is this correct?

Players are allowed to play a certain number of games per season.  I'm not sure what the number is.

I think the majority of the scrum happens off-camera. The start is in the frame, but it quickly spills out to the right-hand side and goes off-screen. Tim Hayes shared it on his Twitter for those who would like to see it.

I noticed that when I watched it too.  If there is a bright side to this whole situation, it's that it seemed that the individuals that came out of the crowd only did so to de-escalate the situation.  Of course there could have been words exchanged, but I didn't see any punches thrown (on camera).
