Does State Runner-ups ring a bell from 1974 in basketball under the direction of Allen Wiley. Ronnie Edwards who signed with Don Devoe at Tech. By the way this was under Coach Carlock as AD!

Coach Baker was also a coach at vmi for 6 or 7 years. Recruited this area all those years. He would be an excellent hire. Not too old and not too young.

I would think so. JJ Kelly and Powell Valley were already larger than Grundy before they combine with the other schools.

Final. Carroll County 12 to 4 over Grundy.

Chris Kelly pitched a complete game with 14 k's.

Final from Grundy. 7-0 Grundy.

a 13-7 win over Lebanon and a 9-3 win over Haysi in New Peoples Bank Tournament.

tied at 21. mid second. 12 turnovers

If that were the case, it would be a tie!

No where does it say the POY has to come from the team with the best record. It comes from who the the 7 coaches in the district think is the best player. Maybe they will give you a vote, since you know more than them.

You said it. He did quite a bit for HIMSELF. The award is for what you do for the TEAM. Jordan won the other district coaches votes. That tells you who they considered the threat that they had to stop. Last time I checked, basketball was a TEAM sport.

Where does it say you have to be the leading scoring to be player of the year?

Unless they gave a reason for dismissing him. Then they have to prove that reason is actual facts. If it can not be proven, Old Doug will be just fine in court. Case in point. John Kuzko of JI Burton vs Norton City Schools. Winner Kuzko.

Being a coach and teacher, means keeping your face and name off the front page of newspapers.

74-72 Grundy 2OT.

One question for Twin Valley and Hurley: Why? By: Jim Sacco January 20, 2011 1:30 AM | 0 Comments | Post a Comment Ugh. Why, Twin Valley and Hurley? Why? What did they do? Well, how about mar a basketball game with 56 team fouls that resulted in six players fouling out – five Twin Valley players – that forced the Panthers to play the final 14 seconds with four on the floor. Read the above graph again. Let it sink in. Four. Players. Done? Good. “We did not discuss being physical,†TV coach Brian Moore told the Bluefield Daily Telegraph. “Our only game plan was to control tempo and try and win a basketball game.†Really, coach? Really? I don’t know many teams that win basketball games by helping turn what should have been a hotly contested Black Diamond District opener into a free-throw shooting contest (the two teams combined for 70) thanks to TV’s 34 fouls. I don’t know many teams that win basketball games with four players either. Just sayin’. Did the Panthers suddenly decide to take matters into their own hands? If so, who’s collecting the coaching stipend? Now Hurley, which has done nothing but win on the road all season long, isn’t totally clean of any fault here. A Rebel got into a first-quarter fracas with a Panther, both got ejected and, to be honest folks, that should have been the end. It’s sports. Emotions run high. Pride’s on the line. Like we said, it’s sports. But it was the Rebels who needed a Sheriff’s escort out of the gym, according to the Daily Telegraph. They also didn’t finish with … say it with me … four players on the court. Two fans were also ejected. OK, that pair shouldn’t be allowed in the gym for the rest of the regular season. Lock the thread. End of discussion. OK, I’d let them in, but they have to sit in a box with “I got kicked out for being a nimrod†written with a Sharpie on their foreheads. Seventy free throws? How long did this game take? It’s not bad enough that schools with one gym host these ludicrous “quads†– first the two JV games then the varsity game back-to-back-to-back-to-back – but then, thanks to Twin Valley’s we-promise-it-wasn’t-our-game-plan foul fest, this debacle gets dragged until well beyond 10 p.m. which means, after a brief team meeting (if they felt safe enough) the Hurley boys get home at, let’s say, midnight. On a school night? Fix this. Fix this now. I’m all for varsity doubleheaders, actually, that’s how the game should be played. A night of basketball. First the girls, then the guys and, maybe, switch it up every now and again with the guys going first. But this four-games-in-one-gym-on-one-night stuff has to stop. Ship the JV teams to the opposite site. I know, that’s just silly. That might get the STUDENT-athletes home and in bed (with their homework done) before midnight. Question for the scheduling “gurus†who came up with this: When was the last time you tried to do homework either A) sitting in a loud bandbox gym or B) on a rickety yellow bus switch-backing up a mountain? We wait patiently for your e-mails. Again. Seventy free throws. At what point do the referees just pick up the ball and go home? Would you have blamed them? Is it OK for them to officiate a game where one team has … again … four players on the floor? Speaking of the postseason (replete with hyperbole): Powell Valley boys hammer Pound 54-26. Rye Cove’s boys lambaste (told you, hyperbole) Ervinton 55-38. Coeburn’s girls whitewash Thomas Walker 61-22. Oh, and Honaker girls obliterate Council 57-15. Now, betcha all those teams on the losing end make it to regionals. Seriously. Way to go Virginia High School League (and by VHSL we mean principals and administrators). Stop. Listening. To. Parents. When. It. Comes. To. The. Postseason. Wait. I think Twin Valley just sent Hurley back to the free-throw line. Cue the Sheriff’s department. Follow Jim Sacco at Twitter @Sacco_BHCSports

Haysi and Hurley have agreed to swap dates, thus opening the same spot for Grundy and Honaker to play. Like it has been said, you do not need districts for single a football.

Bottom line is, Honaker will not change open dates that both teams have, so that Grundy can pick up another game. Grundy has a game scheduled on 10-14-11, and it is not with Honaker.

Graham 53-47 final.

He is further up the road and over the mountain. He is not from Grundy. Ease up on Grundy!

Played Gretna two years ago at Mitchell Stadium during regular season on a saturday afternoon.

If recent is seven years, then it has been recent!!!!

As of now 2011 schedule is. Twin Valley, Hurley, Honaker, Haysi, Castlewood. East Ridge. There are four open dates right now. As for the River View deal, West Virginia is on the front end of their two year cycle this year. Virginia is on the back end of their two year cycle this year. The hope is Wise county is going to combine some schools, thus opening up some games. Maybe the bdd will play each other twice, like some of the schools in northern Virginia did one year.
