  1. HS Athletics is in a major transition period. The landscape is changing, with more private schools, homeschooling and online opportunities, student athletes are playing more "club" ball. As this continues, the prominence of certain clubs will gain in popularity and we will see more student/athletes forego playing for their respective public schools and start competing with club teams. I don't think athletics is going away at the public HS level, but it is indeed changing. CURIOUS: Where do you see HS Athletics 10 years from now?
  2. Heard FalconMan got committed to the state hospital!
  3. Every team meal at Bonanza has resulted in a LOSS, so much that, we haven't took a team to eat there in nearly 25 years. We consider the place cursed. But the buffet is almost worth an occasional L
  4. Congratulations Coach Davis, best of luck!!
  5. Puts everything into perspective, thoughts and prayers.
  6. Thoughts on that last play before halftime for Essex? I've watched it about 20x, I can't see the kid step out and it appears that he knocks over the pylon, looks like a TD but official said that he was stopped short. Wondering what everyone else thought? Congratulations to Galax, glad they got the win!
  7. Downside? Sounds like some good eatin'!
  8. It appears that may be the case! Politics can make for a messy decision. (we will have to wait and see)
  9. This frustrates a lot of folks, but it isn't entirely about revenue. The league is trying to assure that fans and parents from different games aren't competing or being knocked out of prime seating to watch their respective games. This has been an issue with basketball in the past. A venue fills up and fans don't always leave after the first game, which means fans arriving for second game end up with less seating and/or less desirable seating. In basketball, parents have literally been denied tickets at VCU to watch their kid play in the State Finals or Semis due to venue reaching capacity (due to multiple games being played). The league has since tried to prevent this from occuring ever again. I get your beef, but there is a precedent that led to this type of decision and it isn't greed on the part of the league.

  14. For whatever reason there is a lack of commitment to produce winning athletic programs at UVA Wise. Not saying all coaches and all players aren't committed, but rather that there is something missing at UVA Wise and I can't put my finger on it. Players and coaches that pour everything into their craft do not appear to have the kind of support that they need from administration, alumni, student body or community. And those players and coaches that aren't as committed, talented or knowledgeable as they need to be, in order to be competitive, are allowed to stay around too long. It's almost as if fielding a team is enough, a high standard, overall, does not appear to be a part of the UVA Wise culture. Mediocrity, if tolerated, will breed apathy, and before you know it everyone is just going through the motions. There is no excitement or enthusiasm with any program at the school. The culture of mediocrity will continue to grow unless something or someone comes in and shakes things up in Wise. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't tell you how many times I have heard people say, " that school isn't committed to winning"
  15. Understandable! He has it very good where he is at, but competitors like a challenge and he is a competitor. I think the probability is much higher than you think, especially if BIG R hires from within. (total speculation on my part, I do not have any inside info)

  17. Yes, rather short lived. Council ended up sending 2 players over to Whitewood. So, the combination had little to no impact.
  18. Yes, it was One of the many reasons that Salem threw against a wall hoping something would stick. Bottom line was, they weren't traveling to Grundy, denied Grundy home field advantage, ended up playing on a quagmire in Tazewell (one of the worst if not the worst field conditions I have ever witnessed). Grundy was clearly the superior team that year and ended up, ironically, being victims of terrible field conditions.
