  1. How much of an impact do you think basketball had? We were behind everyone else at the start with our state title in bball. Jenkins, Rasnick, Honeycutt, Ray and Bunch all probably took some time to get up to speed. Also, what a run here lately for Union. That’s our third region title in a boys sport this year.
  2. One program had won big games before the other hadn’t. It still rings true. Union was the more prepared and better coached squad. Pretty embarrassing loss for Central. If you live in Wise County, all any of us have heard for 10 years is how this group would go to state. Just a bad L, more talented team lost and that’s a credit to Travis, the kids and the program they’ve built. Central was clearly overconfident in the first quarter and it cost them the game. Sleeping on a team with that tradition and being flat falls on the coaching staff.
  3. Clearly I have you pegged correctly. You watched the Appy program spiral out of control after having your opponent take a bow at midfield in the state game. Union is formed, they get moderately successful and you lose your mind with a horn. Keep blowing it, just know 75% of the crowd laughs at it.
  4. FWIW, PV won at least five games every year from 1978 til the school closed. PV fans got spoiled they wouldn’t show up, anything less than a regional title was a failure. Toward the end Appy fans had given up and stopped showing up. The horn clan has latched on to a winner now and they don’t know how to act. My .02
  5. PV/Union has made the playoffs every year since 1991. Based on your response, I’m guessing you run the horn, are from Appalachia and I was accurate.
  6. Everyone laughs at it. There’s a group of like 10-12 people who sit up there and think it’s cool, everyone else just laughs. My guess is that it’s a group from Appalachia who saw their team get their tails kicked the last 6-7 years and now get awfully excited over any type of success.
  7. That horn is embarrassing and annoying. Half the time it’s not even used at the correct time, it drives away fans and makes the entire fanbase look like a bunch of rednecks. I’ve been going to games for decades between PV/Union. All the horn does is make us look like the nuts that used to be at GC. School administrators shouldn’t allow it in the park, period. I don’t buy season tickets because of it, I try to get as far away from it as possible weekly.
  8. Just woke up from celebrating the state basketball title. I see we are playing for region football championship too? What a charmed life we live in BSG.
  9. When is it coming out since the VHSL isn’t doing one?
  10. How did Ramsey not get first team all M7?
  11. Didn’t he have two D1 players, one of which went to WVU and lose badly to Council? Nichols scored as many points at WVU as Nuckles did at ETSU. Union may get its ass kicked, Wednesday will tell the tale. You guys act like they’re playing a team with John Marshall’s talent and the late Husky Hall is coaching them. i expect a tight game that comes down to the end. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong and will say as much.
  12. When your coaching your son and he’s a senior, there’s pressure. That’s not another day at the office, careers are on the line.
  13. Powerhouse program? Yes, does this team compare with either of the last five AA state champions? No.
  14. All the pressure is on Radford, none on Union. People expect Radford to win, it’s set up for them to win state. John Marshall opted out, GC knocked out, D1 player that’s a senior as coach’s son. Union making its first ever final four appearance, nobody takes them seriously in basketball. Bring em on down to BSG, I like our chances. We may lose but this isn’t some powerhouse team coming to town. This will be a very competitive game from start to finish. Don’t sell our kids or coaching staff short. We’re not playing against John Wooden who has Mac McClung on the roster.
  15. For a Union fan, you sure don’t have much confidence. Can Radford win? Sure. That being said, when the careers of Bunch, Cusano and Rasnick are over they will all be 1,000 point scorers. Has Radford played anyone like that this year? Throw in Jordan who basically made the game winning 3 in the regional final. Union may lose but this group of kids will come to play, they’ve been through too much. It’s a very tight knit group who have played together for years on end. I like our chances when the game starts Wednesday.
