When I think about big plays in the game, that blocked field goal stands out the most for me, and let him go right by almost untouched too.

I see you have learned not to read any thread with VT in it there too, huh..lol.

Not Grundy's reason, the LPD's.

Sorry, I was replying to americandream's post just above that of "tvp" concerning who would make it out into Region (in Div. 2).

Thanks for the kind remark ...so sorry for the trouble. My apologies... But anyway, it would have to be either Castlewood and/or Coeburn, most likely Castlewood (on the girls side).

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3136391 Source: Miles will remain coach at LSU ESPN.com news services Updated: December 1, 2007, 1:07 PM ET LSU coach Les Miles will meet with the media at the Georgia Dome before the SEC Championship Game to announce that he is staying at LSU, a source told ESPN.com. LSU associate athletic director Herb Vincent said Saturday morning that ESPN reports that Miles had accepted the head coaching position at Michigan were "inaccurate." Miles agreed to a contract extension Saturday with LSU. Miles, who played at Michigan and served two stints as an assistant under the late Bo Schembechler, has been eyed as a successor to Lloyd Carr, who stepped down after the Wolverines' loss to Ohio State last month. Miles has been head coach at LSU since 2005. LSU is 32-6 with Miles at the helm, including 22 wins in his first 26 games as coach, and won 11 games in 2005 and 2006. The No. 7 Tigers (10-2), whose two losses this season both came in triple overtime, will play Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday. Miles also coached at Oklahoma State, posting a 28-21 record between 2001 and 2004, and was tight ends coach for the Dallas Cowboys between 1998 and 2000. Miles has a 60-27 overall record in seven seasons as a head coach.

http://www.tricities.com/tristate/tri/sports.apx.-content-articles-TRI-2007-11-22-0009.html Will bigger SWD be better for boys teams? Thursday, Nov 22, 2007 - 12:00 AM BY BUCKY DENT BRISTOL HERALD COURIER It’s bigger, but is it necessarily better? That’s the key question as the Southwest District begins its first year as a seven-team league. Adding Abingdon and Marion from the now-defunct Highlands District will, if nothing else, ease scheduling concerns for the five holdovers – Carroll County, Graham, Grundy, Richlands and Tazewell. "The additions have me excited about the season," Graham coach Glynn Carlock, Jr. said of the new SWD. "Hopefully, they’ll strengthen the district and allow us to be a little more battle-tested by the time we get to the regionals." As for the additions, Abingdon is in transition with a new coach and a lot of new players, while Marion graduated half its roster and will have some growing pains. Last year’s regular season champion, Grundy, and the tournament champ, Richlands, are expected to battle it out this winter with Abingdon. Carroll County may have the best chance of earning the other regional bid. A preview of each team – in alphabetical order – appears below: ABINGDON B.J. Lasley hasn’t changed schools, just teams. After guiding the Abingdon girls to a Group AA quarterfinal appearance last year, Lasley moved over to the boys side when long-time coach Sam Blevins moved into administration in Smyth County. Lasley, who went 69-33 in four seasons as a girls coach, including a 20-6 year in 2004-05 at Patrick Henry, has some building to do. Senior point guard Thorn Mosley is the only returning starter. Gone are such mainstays as guards Duran Carson and Nick Viers, along with post presence John Vaught. Lasley listed 12 other players as possibilities for playing time. Among that group is football star Tyler Bailey, along with 6-foot-4 junior Cole Manning. "As long as we continue to commit ourselves to getting better defensively, we should be competitive night-in and night-out," Lasley said. CARROLL COUNTY Despite going 10-13 last year, the Cavaliers squeaked into the Region IV Tournament as the third seed out of the SWD. Their stay lasted long enough to take a 63-51 beating at Virginia High. Second-year coach Jason Smith welcomes back four starters, including three double-figure scorers that might help Carroll County contend for the SWD title. Center Jacob Singleton averaged 12 points and eight rebounds a game last year, while forward Travis Green displayed versatility by averaging 10 points, five rebounds and five assists per game. Guard Seth Hill scored 10 ppg, while forward Brett Rogers is a role player who rebounds and defends. The Cavs will have to replace 6-5 Jared Strickland (10 ppg, 9 rebounds). Smith likes his team’s experience and defense, but is worried about getting quality play off his bench. "We want to be at the top of the district and believe we can," he said. "But we are determined to focus only on the present." GRAHAM There is good news for the G-Men: Carlock welcomed a whopping total of 45 players for tryouts, 27 of which were freshmen and sophomores. Now for the cons to that pro: Leading scorer Kevin Thompson is gone and there is once again little size up front, giving this team a small margin for error. However, Carlock is determined to live up to the creed – "Try – we won’t let you fail!" – which is plastered behind one basket at the team’s home gym. "My young kids will be OK – it just might take a while," he said. "We just want to compete every night and see progress by [district] tournament time." Seniors J.D. Hunter and J.K. Goins should carry the scoring load for Graham. Hunter is better known as one of the area’s top golfers, while Goins started most of last year. Two of the young players to watch are 6-2 freshman Jordan Bryan, who can play three positions, and 6-4 sophomore Ryan Woodson, who could mature into the first true post threat this program’s had in a while. GRUNDY Greg Rife’s father, Roger, is a Buchanan County coaching legend. It appears the fruit didn’t tumble all that far from its tree. Entering his third season, Rife should mount a solid SWD regular season title defense despite graduating one of the state’s top players. Center Jimmy Ashby was a second team All-Group AA pick after averaging 17 ppg and 16 rebounds. "It’s going to change our style of ball a bit," Rife said of Ashby’s graduation. "We’re going to have to ask our guys to get a rebound before breaking out. You could play Jimmy under there by himself and he could soak up about every rebound." Nevertheless, Rife has 43 ppg of returning firepower among returning starters Cody Billiter (6-0, sr.), Bobby Peck (6-2, sr.) and point guard D.J. Gelenster (5-11, sr.). Billiter was the SWD’s second-leading scorer last year at 19 ppg, while Peck hit for 14. Joe Stevens (6-3, jr.) has the task of replacing Ashby in the post. Shawn Moore (6-3, sr.) and Derek Hess (6-0, so.) are battling for a spot in the lineup. The Golden Wave are picked to win the SWD title in a preseason poll of coaches. MARION The surroundings are different, but obstacles remain in the path of coach Matt Hanshew’s Scarlet Hurricanes. In its SWD return, Marion has to replace six seniors, including three-year starter Pos Creasy at point guard. The scoring punch of Aaron Wolfe and Timmy Whisman will also be missed. Senior Jordan Burrows is the top returning scorer, but he’s not picked up a basketball yet, although he has a good reason. He’s one of the key parts of the school’s football team, which plays for a Region IV, Division 3 title tomorrow night. The Canes finished in the Highlands District basement last year. It will take work to stay out of the SWD cellar this season. RICHLANDS While Grundy’s 12-game winning streak made headlines, the Blue Tornadoes quietly became the SWD’s best team by the time Region IV play started. With SWD scoring champ Ben Mulkey and rebounding machine Austin Fuller leading the way, Richlands won at Grundy on consecutive Fridays, the second win worth an SWD tournament title. Mulkey (22 ppg) and Fuller are back, giving coach Jim McGee a nucleus any coach would like. Senior guard Jordan Barnette is a capable 3-point shooter when given space. Graduation losses include another good 3-point threat, C.J. Arms, and physical forward Brett Clayburne. Another concern is this program’s traditional late start, thanks to the football team’s sixth consecutive trip to the regional finals. TAZEWELL After a long 2006-07 season, the Bulldogs offered hope for improvement at its end, chalking up two wins over Graham and nearly stunning Grundy in the SWD tourney semifinals. "Their young guys were playing well at the end of the year," Rife said. "They scared the heck out of us." Second-year coach Lee Walker’s team remains underclass-dominated but could realistically get out of the basement this season.
