WE FINALLY BEAT SOMEONE!!!

WE FINALLY BEAT SOMEONE!!!

WHO IS THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A?
 
FACTORS CONSIDERED ***
--Marion scored 22 points on Va High, while Graham scored only 20
--Marion scored 40 points against Lebanon in game shortened for weather at 4:20 in the 3Q. A proportional calculation results in Marion scoring 60 points on the Pioneers over 4 quarters, while Graham scored only 59.
--Radford defeats both Graham and Riverheads 
 
CONCLUSIONS:
Marion>Graham
Radford>Graham
Radford>Riverheads
Therefore, Radford and Marion>Graham and Riverheads
 
SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A: Marion Scarlet Hurricanes
 
***Any other factors that contradict this assertion, I have personally deemed irrelevant or inconsequential including head-to-head, outcomes of common opponents, W-L records, margin of victory, strength of schedule, computer rankings, and common sense.
 
 
 
 

When I was in band we played in the final in Lynchburg my sophomore, junior and senior years. They let ALL Richlands band students go first so we could make the game. I believe maybe GW or GC was in the title game one year as well and they let them go first, too. 
 
I don’t see why they stopped doing that for kids who need to get to state title games. If you aren’t gonna change the date of auditions — at least let them go first. 

I wanna try.
Riverheads scored 21 against Radford compared to Graham's 10, therefore Riverheads is better than Graham.
Am I doing it correctly?

I know you guys want to keep graham in the conversation as long as possible but can we quit saying this? Graham couldn’t do anything with Radford in the second half. They were not a threat in the 4th quarter to win the game. 
In comparison, Radford needed a prayer to barely escape Glenvar at home. Radford had to score a touchdown on their last drive. 
 
None of this is arguable. 
 
Congrats to Radford for a perfect season & to Riverheads on being state runners-up!

Below is collection of quotes from the past year predicting the struggles of Riverheads in 2A.
"Riverheads days of domination will be over come next season."
"Riverheads beat George Wythe but will get absolutely smacked by most 2A teams."
"Riverheads cannot compete with the top teams in 2A. They will find out soon enough when they get to play Appomattox, Graham, Glenvar..etc.. They been bullying around those smaller 1A teams for too long"
"One could tell the Riverheads to enjoy the big dance this year because they may not even make it to the floor next year in 2A."
"I've said for awhile now that they (Riverheads) couldn't hang in Group 2, and apparently they know it  " 
"Riverheads finishes 3rd or 4th in 2D last year."
"Riverheads is a 7--3 team !  At Best !"

TCSB is waiting until the Alabama wins the championship to contact one of Saban's assistants to offer the HC position, and why not, all other college teams seem to gather up his assistants, Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffen, for example.  Might be a good move! 
 

UPDATE: The Maganbauer hire hit a snag after this man was spotted lurking around the equipment room at Ernie Hicks.

This is absolutely amazing. Chefs kiss. 

I remember when Erick Green was named ACC POY in a season where VT had a losing record and finished last in the ACC. Oh, and he was a 3rd team All-American. The best player doesn't always have to come from the best team. 

They'd be "killin'" it out there.
One downside: every pregame meal would consist of mustard and biscuits, potted meat, and french fried taters. 

The real question is will all those accolades be enough to keep their players from coming across the state line? Asking for a friend. Haha 

🏆You win! 🏆

This is absolutely amazing. Chefs kiss.

Grayson County is having a hard time adjusting to playing down in Class 1 basketball. They've gotten smashed the first two games out of the gate. Need to find some more homeschool kids to rebuild, I guess.

The best I can do is show you who made first team

It’s really a lot to ask for 😂. 

If only we knew who was represented on the SWD team...

You did, and I 100% didn't believe it could. Now... I think you're right. Props to you for having the vision to see how wild this thread could get haha. 

Just trying to get your name out there and show what you know for Coordinator positions, or just staff positions, maybe someone will remember you for the next open HC position, for interview experience(what kind of questions will they ask, who will be in the room, etc.), maybe the interviewees feel that "those in power at Richlands/TCPS believe they have their guy but just wait til they get a load of me! Ill blow that other guy out of the water" or maybe they think those bunch of dummies on the sports forum don't really know what's going on and are just gossiping. Btw, I've heard that they have their guy (idk who, and wouldn't say on here if I did) and I am in no way connected to Tazewell County or Richlands.
Typically the powers that be have a coach is in mind before firing the current one. Coach Tarter took on what most people knew was gonna be a bad situation to try to get the program through it as best he could for a few years before stepping down and riding off into the sunset (just to be looked at by history as a coach who did a terrible job - thats what the record book will show). No offense to him(who made a pretty big sacrifice for R) but those powers in charge probably had the next HC in mind when Tarter took the position, id guess at the latest had the next guy in mind before this season started, and at the latest had the next guy lined up by midway through the 2023 season.
Hard to keep a secret that long, word gets around.
Ive applied and interviewed for a lot of jobs that I knew I wouldnt get, got several calls and at least 1 job offer from those applications and interviews.
