Viginia Tech wins with the final score of 24-14.!!! Call me an idiot..!!!

I found this on the WSLS TV website and wanted to share it with everyone. Happy Holidays to all..!!!! http://tinyurl.com/6fojy

[ Any advice on which Salem game I should watch during the event? [/ QUOTE ] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have yet to see any brackets for the Hooplas but I would advise to see all the Salem match ups..!!! This season should be very interesting for Salem.

[ QUOTE ] Carolina assistant, Steve Robinson was on hand last night in Roanoke to watch Salem's Kenny Belton. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ummmmmmmmmmm...Dude....the game Belton played in last night was in Salem..!! We are kind of partial to the correct name for the Championship City.!!!! Just joshing with ya, but did you make it to the game also??? It wasn't spectacular, but it was a good start to a long season for the Spartans. I hope the crowds continue to come. Oh yeah, the Holiday Hoopla tickets went on sale today at the Salem Civic Center. Better get one while ya can..!!!!!

I think he is Marcus Lewis...but I might be wrong.

Can anyone supply a little info on this kid, now at Salem, who transferred from Tazewell??? Did he play last season and if so, can anyone supply some stats?? He came off the bench tonight at Salem and gave a few minutes of quality roundball. Just curious what to expect.!!

Tonight's matchup with Wm Fleming should be a good first game test for the Spartans. At Salem High...around 7:15P or so should do it.!!!!!

Hey BR...Yes...Salem plays their home games at the school and seating is usually no problem. Varsity games usually start @ 7:30p or so. As for the Holiday Hoopla...Look over on the VaPreps site, AA basketball board, and you will find some helpful info or go to the Salem Civic Center website for more detailed info. http://www.salemciviccenter.com/ Come on down and watch this Belton kid.! He is ALL that's advertised and more. For the Salem Spartan schedule..go to the link below..... http://salem.k12.va.us/shs/sports/boysbasketballschedule.pdf Hope to see ya there..!!!

Just flurries here in the Roanoke Valley. What about you guys ???

Here's is another story on the Salem/Richlands game from the Salem-Times Register. It only comes out on Thursdays. http://tinyurl.com/6vw45

[ QUOTE ] I plan on going if the weather holds out and it doesn't rain/snow. I was just curious if any of the other board members are planning to go? [/ QUOTE ] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can bet your sweet bippy that this Salem fan is going to be there, come rain, snow, sleet, hail, earthquake or any other natrual disaster that doen't cancel the game.!!!! It should be a great show. Just about everyone is picking Harrisonburg and Gretna to win, but things might not be so...pre-planned.!!

Now the semi's are over and the finals are at hand, most of the Salem contingent will be doing their lurking and posting on the VaPreps site. I do want to thank Lance...and yes...even G-Man for their time and expertise in running this site. I don't have alot of use for G-Man after his childish antics in trying to stir a pot of sh*t just to make it stink in the Salem vs Richlands topics, but Lance, you've always seemed mature in your posts and I will continue to check in every once in a while. Good luck to all the SWVA coaches, players and fans in all they attempt in the future and I DO hope Salem can show as much hospitality as you guys (Richlands supporters) provided the Salem Nation this past Saturday.

There are a few more Salem fans who lurk about this board. As for ones who post, well, that's just me and Mule.!!!!

[ QUOTE ] In 2001 in the AA final games in Virginia (both divisions), the four head coaches (Ryder- Lafayette, Hicks- Pulaski Co., Sarver- Harrisonburg, and Carlock- Graham) all had played or coached under coach Gainer. Are you sure the coach for Lafayette was Ryder??? I was thinking it was someone else, maybe Paul Wheeler??? Of course, most people think I'm insane.!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~
