BSG Historian

Why would Ricker come to Wise? Outside of playing football at UVa-Wise he has no connection. Throw in he's from Battle and so is his wife, it makes little sense. Also, nobody has ever had long term success at Wise in football. They've ran off every good football coach they have ever had dating back to Riggs.

Unless something crazy happens in the Lee/Union game, I believe the boys seeds are 1) GC 2) Union 3) Abingdon 4) Wise 5) Ridgeview 6) JSB 7) Lee

Last night's win puts GC in the driver's seat. Going to be hard for someone to go in there and win.

First time Union and GC met, ended up being a 4-5 point possession for GC in the second half. They won the game by one point if memory serves. Other than Wise, Union has dominated everyone else in the league.

How big is David Crockett's technical foul call against Paul Huff looking now? Union would've won the regular season by virtue of the tiebreak without that fiasco.

Bostic's Boys beating Fugate's Favorites should come as no surprise. If not for a phantom technical foul, Union would have won at GC and won the M7 regular season title for the third time in four years. Alas, a stripped shirt interjected themselves into the game and Fugate's Favorites won a one possession game over the Bears in GC. Union still really only has itself to blame, allowing Wise to play slow down 1940's basketball against them has burned them every time they have played. Kudos to Donnie Jordan and Isaiah McAmis for mucking it up when those two play. Outside of Ethan Collins those two are the Real MVPs of the Warriors this season. Playoffs will be fun...

How many transfers do JIB and Central have? Between the boys and girls programs at those two schools, they could make a starting five unit for other teams.

3-0 in the district! Bostic's Boys keep rolling!!

At this point Bostic’s Boys are a contender. No joke here, @BigWinners probably not old enough to remember when Bostic played. It’s obvious he’s taught these guys how to shoot!

It’s going to be between him and Fugate. First year coaches duking it out. Union is shooting 3’s much better! Reminds me of Bostic’s Haysi stroke!

5-0! A sign of a great program is winning with multiple coaches and he’s picked up where Moore left off. Early leader for coach of the year!

Home and Union got some home cooking. No exaggeration, I bet one ref called 15 fouls alone on Honaker.

Bears win another close one, 41-38 over Honaker. Wasn't very pretty basketball but a W is a W. Union was able to get out in transition just enough to win. Bears have a serious rebounding problem, when the younger Anderson went out with foul trouble tonight, Honaker took control of the game inside. Union is going to have to get more rebounding out of it's guards.

Honneycutt was out with injury more than in and while great on D was an offensive liability last yr. New coach, yes but they returned basically the entire team.

Union returned all 5 starters. Not sure why people were/are down on them. Outside of Abingdon, they beat everyone last year in the M7.

Union has a shot. First year coach, injuries, the Huff situation, etc. it’ll take time. That being said, they ain’t half bad. Reyshawn and Kam are capable of combing for 40-50 points. Team can’t rebound. They really need Bunch and Huff back on the boards. If Union had been able to rebound they would’ve won tonight by 10+. I’d expect a similar game tomorrow against East.

Anyone have updated points and possibilities?

If Union and Graham end up tied would Union not get the 1 seed based on the win vs Graham?

RV football has turned into what Central boys basketball was. Pretty competitive but they cry so much and complain the better officials won’t call the game. Then you get inferior officials and it mucks up the game and gives them a shot against superior opponents. Pretty bad job by the zebras tonight.

Union finishing third among Class 2 schools and getting nobody, can't see that happening. I'd put Reyshawn Anderson the team, he was Union's best all around player and that was pretty evident in what was an otherwise tail kicking at Graham.

It won’t happen Thursday. No way they go to the line anywhere close to that again. It didn’t cost Union the game but the officials in that game weren’t very good.

RV has the most talent of any team in region 2D. At some point it has to show, right? I'm taking the Pack.

Correct, if Union beats Abingdon and GC beats RV then they pass RV in that scenario too. RV should beat GC, of course they should've beat Union. RV has done less with more talent than anyone in Region D this year. Time is running out to correct that.

If Union beats RV in consolation game they pass RV.

Outside of Ramsey, Collins is the best player in the M7. Central has to be kicking itself going down the mountain tonight. They never seem to beat Union if talent is close and tonight was no different. No exaggeration, I would guess Wise shot 70-75% in the first half and was behind at halftime. Union took care of the ball and played their best game of the season when they had to have it. I think Collins missed one shot, the entire game. Kid is a special player and he is money at the foul line. Bunch for Union had his best game and Huff made some crucial free throws. I’d love for someone to explain to me how Union got two T’s and Central got zero. What a great game. Wise up two possessions under 4 to play and they couldn’t hold it. I think Union has now won six of the last 7 in this rivalry. It’s not the same without TJ but some of the juice came back tonight.
