I think they played Tuesday. I think Central Battle and GC may be tied with 2 losses and Union possibly with 3.

It shows also how fast things can change for programs in the area. Graham went from one of the top programs for a long time until Carlock passed. Then fell off so far they dropped to the MED where they struggled. Now they are one of the class programs in the state again.

I think it was 08 when Nelson won and Gate City and George Wythe played for the 2A title and Nelson was 100+ students larger than either one I believe. Nelson may have beat Twin Valley in the semis or finals possibly and the enrollment was extremely different.

I saw this week Loris is petitioning to move to 2A currently as well as SC is doing their reclassifications for next year.

Hate to hear that the young mans career has been cut short. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Its good to see local kids getting rewarded for the work they have put in along with their natural talent.

Hope it isn't as serious as feared for Goode. Radford Golf is certainly going to have a local flare to it with Goode and Carter Wolfe from Gate City.

BDD 1 seed will play the CD3/Hogo3 winner. CD1 and Hogo1 will be on the same side if I am not mistaken.

Wasn’t expecting that score. Abingdon have everyone? No disrespect to Ridgeview. Just know a lot of flu going around.

Rye Cove 47 Holston 45 in boys action. RC girls won handily over the Cavs but I cannot remember the score. Good win for the Eagles. Bailey is a really good coach with some nice pieces at Holston who play really hard. I think Holston is 7-2 now on the year. Wins for RC boys on back to back days after beating Rural Retreat by 10 I think it was yesterday.

GC has a good bunch that's probably 7th/8th grade but the current group has a couple of good players but no depth. Keller is a good ball player but no one able to do what Carrico could for them last year.

Kents a heckuva coach and a great choice. Edwards Bostic and company would have been deserving as well with the adversity they faced. No wrong answers either way there.

That's what the rub may be though....Usually the only ones up for voting at region are the ones who won for each district. Then who won for region gets in the vote for state. Just as it does for players. Typically. Which I could see it being published just as Union Coaching Staff.

I would be surprised if the region vote had taken place before everything came out but the district vote probably had.

Coeburn was pretty good up til about 2000. Big physical teams. Had a QB (Hall I think) that was committed to Marshall in 96 and I am guessing the current Eastside QBs dad who could go get it at WR. Jason Nixon was a load at RB through 98 or 99. I think they were on a decent playoff streak until 99 but typically got bounced by PV in round 1. Kevin Saunders taking over at JJ Kelly and GC coming into the LPD ended any hopes Coeburn had of making the playoffs after that and the program took a turn.
