Richlands is playing 5 adults. 

You calling me "liberal"???  I'll toss your ass just for that...

Correct, it pretty much is meaningless, as I said in the other thread. But it's only meaningless for Richlands when it suits their agendas.

It was all but preordained that Graham and Richlands would come out of the SEC. The first game of this season that will truly matter standing alone is the one they will play against Union two weeks hence.
 
Honestly, I think the result would be the same if they were playing Union, Oak Hill Academy, or the '86 Celtics. I see Union as a strong favorite.

I've been around high school sports long enough to know that anybody can beat anybody on any given night.  These are kids we are talking about.  If a good team comes i with the right game plan, it can be done.  I wouldn't crown Gate City state champions just yet.  They still have to get past Graham, Richlands and Union....which are all very capable teams.  Also, the usual suspects in Martinsville and Dan River will most likely have a big say in how things play out.

We are talking about basketball in SWVA correct? Is it worth getting so worked up over?

I wasn't necessarily saying that Graham can beat GC. I don't think they, nor Richlands, are capable of that feat. But it can give them confidence to believe they can with a second consecutive win over Richlands.

So now they're using Twitter?, but before the game they were not...
 
(just giving you a hard time... )

Carlock did an excellent job in not letting Richlands get the ball in transition.  Very good defensive effort tonight for Graham, not allowing Richlands to get in the paint and being patient on offense.
 
On a side note, I was very disappointed to see Martin for Graham fouled very hard in each contest by Richlands in what looked to be flagrant fouls, yet the officials failed to call the flagrant.  The one tonight could have justified an ejection in my opinion.  I may be a little biased, but there is no place for that in basketball.  

Yep, across Shortt Gap every single day.

Couple of more Emory and Henry hopefuls, I see.

Conference Tournament will be at Graham this year.
Regional Tournament will be at George Wythe.

23 for 33 That's a whole lot of free throws. 

Dalton fouling out for Graham was the difference.  Kid is a beast on the boards.  Great game!

"Graham was also hampered by making just 7-of-14 free throws, while Richlands was 23-for-33 from charity stripe..."
 
Ouch.

They could very well split home and away.  

I see what you mean EH31 they left him out again.

He's he best player on the team but he has the wrong last name.

With Morgan back.. I'll give Graham the edge. Dalton has to stay out of foul trouble.. But Graham has a deep bench..
 
I just want Carlock to refuse to take the ball first and force a jump ball. Every possession counts...why let Richlands dictate how the game starts. At least send the message that Graham will dictate how this game will go.

Graham jumps out to a quick 59-21 lead with starters back in.
 
Bench cleared midway through the 3rd everybody has already seen playing time in this one.

Having all 3 County Schools respectable in football again would be awesome.  

66-52 Final Score.... subs in for most of 4th quarter...

As I type that, its now 15-15.
