Has anyone seen Grahams middle school basketball team from last year? They had this crazy good shooter. He may be the “key ingredient” for Graham to beat John Marshall this year!

That’s where I messed up. I bought the Dollar General brand.  

There is nobody like #11. 
I can live 100 more years and I know I would never meet someone with a will to win like him. 
 
Every kid should strive to be the warrior that TJ was. 

I am happy for the Dawgs.  Surprising, but awesome game.  Gives them momentum for next week against the Bears.  I am thinking of TJ, #11.  How appropriate this playoff game in a decisive win, being played on 11-11.  
Happy day...Dawgs win, Hokies win, Clemson wins and seal it with a win by the Georgia Bulldogs tonight.  
GO DAWGS!!!!  

Good team's win, great team's cover.

There's probably around 300 people here tonight for a playoff game between two schools with 6K combined students. I miss the SWVA crowds so bad. 😕 OTOH, I'm watching playoff football while wearing short sleeves, shorts and sandals. 🤔

Good Read

Scott County getting football three days in a row.  Hoping fans turn out for all 3 teams in the county this week with GC hosting Thursday, RC hosting Friday and TS hosting Saturday. 

I know a 10-0 record makes it seem like they would be a clear favorite but the #2, #4 & #8 seeds all took them down to the wire in the regular season. 

Don’t worry they only know three words “That was holding “ only problem it’s after every play 

There’s a funny post on FB from a guy in Clintwood proposing a class on football basics before letting anyone into games next season.  
I for one wholeheartedly endorse this idea. Some of our fans truly are an embarrassment. 

Final score was 49-6 Amherst.  But from the atmosphere after the game someone who wasn't aware of that might easily form the impression that Liberty actually won.  The student section (which was loud and active for the entire game) stormed the field and embraced the team and pretty much everyone was in an upbeat mood.
Very odd.  But still a thing of beauty.  You've gotta love small town Friday night football.

Spartans traveling to Narz for the first time in history!

It has been a season of watching those who we expected to win, and those who we hoped would win.  I have a half full glass today, happy for the Loris Lions as they play their first playoff game tonight against the Beaufort Eagles, and a sadness seeing my big Blue Tornado probably go 0-10 tonight.   I heard a Christian artist say this last night and it was regarding a song she had written years ago.  She was telling the background as to why she had written this song.  In its lyric  she said she had been through the "burning dessert, but looking ahead saw clear blue water and had come to far to turn back now."  She said if we surrender, who do we surrender to and what do we surrender?  As she spoke this I naturally thought about my Christian walk;  this morning, in contemplation as well, how it can relate to the Blues and their program.  We should never let a season, define our legacy, or detain/cease our walk.  The trees lose their leaves in the fall, so we see what appears to be a lifeless tree, but it is only a dormant stage.  When spring appears, the tree begins to blossom with life again.   This is my hope and prayer for the Blues football program.  There are deep roots and good soil, hopefully these roots will be inundated with the water of hope, and be cultivated by those who don't deny the setback of the program, but wait for spring and new life.  
Amen!!!
 
 
 

Big shout out of appreciation. You've given this old high school football junkie another great season. To the hand full of you I actually know, and the hundreds of you I've got to watch this year, Thank you. Although this probably wasn't the championship season you had hoped for, these will still be remembered as some of the best times of your life. Your dedication and hard work is truly admired. Play with Pride tonight, and give it all you got, 1 more time.

Im regards to Graham vs Tazewell.  I stated at the beginning of the season that the dogs would go 7-3 and finish runner up in the SWD.  Most people that I personally talked to hyping the Tazewell game were the Graham fans. Graham won convincingly,  great.  Good for them.  However. even Graham fans are saying that Tazewell was over-hyoed, which may be accurate.  Any qb who was under that type of pressure would have had a hard time.  Instead of cutting down an entire footbal team or an individual player, just give credit to where it's due, the Graham defense.   am a big Graham fan too. But before everybody starts beating their chests, just exactly what quality team has Graham beaten?  Don't say Pulaski because they are giving up 40 points per game.  Act like you've been there before, because you have.... no need to constantly remind how awesome you are.
