Carroll has started off strong. They are 3-1 right now with wins over Patrick, Richlands, and a win over Galax for the first time in about 8 years. Marion got them in overtime last Thursday. They have Grundy and a rematch with Galax this week.

The website will be updated by the 15th for the tournament and by the 25th for any camps that they have to offer this spring.
beano has some good points but TJ did not even play but maybe a little bit more then half the season. TJ is a great player and all but I do not believe that you should not win the POY based on career stats it is POY not POC. But good luck to TJ and are you playing at the college level?
It does not matter when it comes out because I can count on two fingers how many times stats were discussed in seven years when deciding who would be player of the year or any other positions on first team. Tazewell is the worst when it comes to wanting their players at the top no matter what the other players did. I remember one season when a team did not even get scored on by any other district team and they outscored the other teams in the district 22-0. But Tazewell wanted their so called best player to be the player of the year and that player was not even the best player on Tazewell's team. For the longest time coaches always screamed about each team should have the same amount of players on the teams no matter the records. A couple of those coaches now that they switched to the girls or actually have a team that wins on the boys side want all of their players on the first team and screw everyone else. I do not want to make anyone mad but I just wanted to show everyone that the best players do not always make the 1st team.

No one can tie Marion because of the tie against Abingdon. Either they are going to get 2nd by a half a game or lose 2nd by a half game. Either way if there is a tie for anything but 1st then it will be decided by a coin flip. :)

It was 2-1 when I left. with about 10 minutes left in the first half. Carroll scored first and then Abingdon scored two, one off a stupid PK.
Anyone know the final
