Google...lol. I just googled "Patrick Henry Tazewell basketball" and came up with a Roanoke and BHC article on the game too, haha. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=3JQ&q=Patrick+Henry+Tazewell+basketball&btnG=Search While were on the subject...some probably don't know but the Kingsport paper has games for this area (Lee, Wise, Scott, etc.) over here too for anyone interested. They have a main webpage (here: http://www.timesnews.net/), free for view limited version and then the full for subscription. They don't put a lot up of sports articles up for free view though (they did have another sports page up last year that was pretty good, that included schedules, rosters, stats, etc...but not this year for some reason). They also have another page, that's most of whats in the current day's paper...here: http://ktnonline.timesnews.net/ Its not organized real well so you'll have to sort trhough, but like for the basketball scores (and not the articles), they're down under the Sports section and under "basketball", just click "full story" and the scoreboard section comes up, scroll down the page to find the high school scores. Also, the Coalfield Progress has scores (for their area) ocassionally under their scoreboard section http://www.thecoalfieldprogress.com/...viewStory=2914 (usually a few days or so behind though) and under the "The Final Score" section http://www.thecoalfieldprogress.com/...wsSectionId=54 (nothing up on it at the moment, but they usually have them up the night of the games or the next morning.

One would think Pocahontas was the first school to ever close and have players go to other schools, haha.

The website has been updated some. Media guide also up.... (of course Johnson is out for the season for GC, so that one is a bit off for them). http://www.btcs.org/ths/arbysclassic/mediaguide.pdf Science Hill High School, Johnson City, TN Science Hill High School made it all the way to the Sweet 16 in Tennessee’s Class AAA action in 2007-2008.

Science Hill is known for its tenacious defense and tremendous depth. The Toppers should be a contender in 2008-2009. Sullivan East High School, Bluff City, TN Sullivan East High School is coming off a good 2007-2008 season with 20 wins and a Region 1 AAA Quarterfinal appearance. Head Coach John Dyer was the 2008 NE TN Coach of the year to go along with 6 other Coach of the Year Awards in his career. The Patriots return 3 key players from last year’s roster.

The Vikings experience and leadership will be key in their team success in 2008-2009. Twin Valley High School, Pilgrims Knob, VA Twin Valley’s regular and post season runs last year saw them win Southwest VA’s Black Diamond District Tournament, Finish Runners up in the Region D Tournament, and qualify for the Final Four in the Group A Virginia State Playoffs. Head Coach Brian Moore’s Panthers return a talented group of players from last year’s roster. They return three 1st team All BDD selections in senior Garrett Horne, 9 ppg & 3 apg, senior Hunter Simpson, 15 ppg, 7 rpg, & 3 apg, and junior Josh Smith, 16 ppg & 13 rpg. Smith was also a 2nd team VHSL All State Selection. Junior Lucas Shortridge, 6.5 ppg 3 rpg, & 2 apg also returns with support firepower. Look for the Panther’s to compete with the elite.

Also returning for the Bengals are Derek Johnson, a 6’0 junior who averaged 17.5 ppg, Liam Walsh, a 6’5 junior who averaged 14 ppg and Nick Harney, a 6’7 junior with 10 ppg.

The Cobras were district, regional, and state-runner-ups. Tyrone Davis, a 5’5 point guard returns as floor general of the Cobras after averaging 9 assists last year. Davis will be the quickest player at the Arby’s Classic. Martavious Irving, 6’2, 13 ppg and Bryan Bynes, 6’3, 12 ppg also return for the Cobras. Both are being recruited by a number of Division I schools including Penn State and George-Mason.

Bryan Station High School, Lexington, KY Bryan Station High School finished the 2007-2008 season with a record of 30-3 and ranked one in the state. The Defender’s will be one of the most athletic teams in the Arby’s Classic. Montell Morones, a Western Kentucky recruit, and Charles Ashford will lead the Defenders this year.

Head Coach Scott Vermillion has been selected as Coach of the Year on 7 different occasions in his career.

He was also selected as a 1st Team All-District, All-Region, and All-State in 2007-2008. 6’8 post, Josh Johnson, 5 ppg, 4 rpg also returns and should be a force in the paint. Gate City will be a preseason favorite in their league and a tough draw in Arby’s Classic. Greeneville High School, Greeneville, TN Greeneville made it to the Region 1 AAA Semifinals in Tennessee last year before losing to state tournament qualifier Dobyns-Bennett. The Greene Devils reload year in and year out to be a contender in their league and East Tennessee. Head Coach Bill Duncan has diverse coaching experience and expects big things from this new team.

The Greene Devils have 38 ppg & 13 rpg coming back in 6’5 Sr., Jordan Short, Jrs., Troy Hopson, Wes Quarles, & Tre Anderson, and transfer point guard Braylon Lloyd. Greeneville should be a tough team to handle. Louisville Male High School, Louisville, KY Louisville Male won the Arby’s Classic in 1989 and 2000.

Miller Grove had a 26-6 record last year and lost in the state semifinals. Malcolm Frank , 6’3, 10.2 ppg and Joe Caldwell, 6’5' 10.2 ppg also return for the Wolverines.

Monsignor Pace High School, Opa Locka, FL Coach Mark Lieberman Spartan’s have won back to back 4 A State Championships (2007-2008). Rakeem Buckles, 6’8, 14 ppg who has committed to Louisville leads the Spartans. Christian Martinez, 11 ppg and Jabari Gorman also returns.

I was reading some stuff over in KY and they mentioned big winter storms like the '93 and '98 storms usually run in the 10-15 year range for the area. So it would seem that we are due one. The way this winter has started off, things look good...although usually there's a warm up on the other side of these cold months, so hopefully we aren't wasting these early ones with the months that bring better chances. We just happened to miss these last two storms over here, which this current one is a little more of an ice situation in KY though. The one before put down some 6 inch snows over there and had a little thing happen called "dynamic cooling" which is what happened in the '98 storm. Too bad it didn't track just a little farther east and have a little better push of cold air. We can't seem to break down the southeast ridge enough and keep the moisture in with the cold air long enough. But I'd say we're going to see another in the not so distance future. We had a 5-10 inch snow in Lee a couple of years back. One of the few to actually get much of that. Just happened to have a heavy band of snow set up right over us in the west-northwest flow and train over the area. One of those rare ones, but its been a while since we've seen a big one, prob. '98.

Va High girls tourney scores from the BHC.... http://www.tricities.com/tri/sports/high_school_prep/article/fields_guides_sullivan_central_to_tournament_win_at_virginia_high/17507/ Fields Guides Sullivan Central To Tournament Win At Virginia High By Allen Gregory Sports Writer / Bristol Herald Courier Published: December 11, 2008 BRISTOL, Va. – Teammates and coaches on the Sullivan Central girls basketball team describe Brittany Fields as fearless. The 5-foot-1 senior point is not afraid to snatch away rebounds from much bigger opponents or drive into the paint for points. Thursday night offered an example of Fields’ bravery. Fields contributed six points, six rebounds and five assists as the Cougars held off the Chilhowie Warriors by a 43-37 margin in day two of the Virginia Tip-Off Classic at the Bearcat Den. “I’m used to being the smallest player on the court,” Fields said. “I just try to be the leader and get all our players involved. The Cougars (5-3) held a 29-23 advantage when leading scorer Whitney Moody (16 points) collected her fourth foul with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Enter Fields. “We knew that we had to pick our intensity after Whitney went out,” said Fields, a four-year varsity player. “We didn’t play our best in this tournament last year, so we want to do better. ‘ Central coach Gary Surcey felt his team meshed when it had to. “We weren’t playing within ourselves at times,” Central coach Gary Surcey said. “We gradually settled in and focused on what we could do.” From defense to rebounding, Fields can do much. “Brittany was the difference tonight,” Surcey said. “She gets after it every game.” Fields, a shortstop on the Cougar softball team, attributes her success to hustle. “I’ve got to do all the fundamentals like boxing out for rebounds and using my quickness,” Fields said. Five-foot-nine junior Erika Blizzard supplied 12 points for Central. Junior Krystal Patton paced Chilhowie with 15 ponts. CHILHOWIE (37) – Coe 6, Taylor 5, Patton 15, Harris 6, Hash 3, Harper 2. Totals 15 4-9 37. SULLIVAN CENTRAL (43) – Fields 6, Hobbs 1, Moody 16, Blizzard 12, Sabo 8. Totals 10 17-23 43.

High 54 The Bearcat Den has become a second home for Rye Cove. After winning the Region D tournament at Virginia High last winter, the Eagles stopped the host Bearcats Thursday. “That was a very big win,” Rye Cove coach Jamie Carter said. “Even though this game had no district or regional implications, we were playing a tough team in the same gym where our regional tournament is held.” Junior Christi Hood paced the Eagles (2-3) with 26 points, while Shasta Edwards added 16. Savanah Pippin led Virginia High (4-1) with 26 points. “I didn’t expect to score that much. I just tried to keep driving the ball and making things happen,” Hood said. “Most people probably expected to lose because Virginia High is a bigger school, but we played well.” RYE COVE (57) – McComas 2, Christi Hood 26, Hutchins 5, J. Carter 8, Edwards 16. Totals 23 9-20 57. VIRGINIA HIGH (54) – Delapp 8, Thomas 6, Collins 2, Pippin 26, H. Smith 6, K. Smith 2, Evans 4. Totals 18 18-20 54. Rye Cove 12 15 12 18-57 Virginia High 8 16 14 16-54 3-point goals-RC 2 (Hood, Edwards), VHS none. Total fouls-RC 16, VHS 14. T. Valley 52, P. Valley 48 After scoring 31 points in a first round win, Katie Jo Lester guided the Twin Valley Panthers (3-1) to another victory. The five-foot-eight sophomore scored 21 points, including four straight baskets in the final minutes. Lester, currently averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds a game, overcame an ankle injury in the second quarter. “Katie Jo struggled most of the night against the good defense of Powell Valley, but I think the defense got a little worn down and Katie Jo finally decided to go after we fell behind,” Twin Valley coach Rick Goodman said. Lester scored on both perimeter jumpers and drives. “We always try to clear some room and let Katie Jo do what she needs to do,” Goodman said. Powell Valley led by a 41-32 margin early in the fourth quarter. “I told the girls at halftime that was the sorriest we’ve played,” Goodman said. “I’m real pleased with the way we fought back. That showed me something.” Senior Sarah Mullins, who tied a couple of Virginia High School League Group A state tournament records with her 3-point shooting last season, added 12 points for Twin Valley. Athletic five-foot-10 junior Tasha Trent paced Powell Valley with 17 points. TWIN VALLEY (52) – Gilbert 6, Horn 4, Wimmer 2, Mullins 12, McClanahan 3, Lester 21, Tatum 4. Totals 18 8-18 52. POWEL VALLEY (48) – Holdway 7, K. Long 1, E. Long 9, Trent 17, Chadwell 6, Moore 2, Roark 3, Schoolcraft 3. Totals 17 11-23 48.
