Union has some freshmen hurlers that will be good in the years to come, but the team desperately needs to spend some serious time in the hitting cage, and improve defensively, There just has to be a deeper commitment to this sport in this football town, or we'll stay middle of the road:(
We prefer Corrections Officers no doubt, Prison guards are what you saw in Shawshank, Like all professions, there's bad apples, but the vast majority of us are hardworking solid folks just trying to feed our families. BTW Sturgill hasn't been in the business for many years.
Spurlock officially hired today, Solid hire for Central,
I'm just a lousy X-Ray tech, but call someone who works in corrections a "prison guard" and see how that works out for you.

Union could be decent, but they are atrocious defensively. 4 errors in the exta inning loss to Eastside Saturday and FIVE in the 17-6 5 inning romp over JIB. I think 3 errors is the fewest in a game this season:(
I knew Brock and his family well. He’s a Fries native, as am I. Brock’s dad is the head girls basketball coach at Grayson County. His sister is in administration at Galax.
Very happy for the whole Funk-Moore extended family!!!
I don’t think this shocks anyone, I posted in this thread I believe or the other one that Graham is a terrible matchup for GC. Those guards ate GC up after the half and they couldn’t just feed it to GG.
The boys were at least competitive in their games. The M7 and SWD are close most years. The M7 has DOMINATED the entire state in girls:) Central got hosed by the VCU medical staff one year but have won what 7? GC has won 2 and RV has also won state titles.
And change up the style of play. Losing Reyshawn is a huge blow tho and I don’t know how’ll they replace him. With such a guard heavy team, why is Union playing games in the 40s? They should be pushing the pace and get more easy shots to make up for the half court deficiencies
I think the jv kid Ravon Jones is going to be a solid guard, but I'm not sure about the other. I agree with you on style of play. We should be running and gunning, but we allow ourselves to get sucked into muck up games:(
Pretty good friends with a former Lee High player. Her son plays for D-B now and made first team all conference this year. I think they were really good back when she played for them back in the mid 90's.
I know at JJK Robin would schedule them for the great competition they'd have.
We are a team full of guards. Have no size whatsoever. Tallest player this year was possibly 5'4. It's difficult to win in the toughest district in the state when you are getting outsized by 4-5 inches every game.
We did win 5 games this season though, so there has been some progress.
We feel you on that on the boys side. If Union had a legit big man in the post they'd be dangerous.
