If this is true there should be legal charges brought against any adult who places their hands on a minor.

Please tell me you are not an adult -- no wonder the kids are out of control if this is what the adults are saying. Why on earth would you ever have to walk your child to the bus at Tazewell - the path from the visitor's locker room to the bus is lined with police officers, police cars and emergency personel.

Yes, and the Player of the Year was Goins from Carroll County.

I was told from a very reliable source that his resignation was not by his choice - I was also told that Doug Marrs has been asking some of the Tazewell assistants to come to Graham -- who knows -- albeit much of the difficulties with coaching is the parents - but being fair and understanding that you are working with kids helps you be successful and makes for a better chance for a long tenure.

So who do you think will be the new football coach at Tazewell - I was told Wyatt resigned on Thursday?

The problem with Grundy's girls and other girl's teams in the SWD is that parents think this is still little league and their little girl deserves to play all the time and get a trophy - in general all of the SWD teams have parents who want to think they are in control and that their little girl is a D1 prospect -- and if you know anything about bball you know a D1 girl in our area are few and far between. I think Bill Christian will do a great job with the boys -- I wish him the best --

No, only the top four teams advance to Radford -- the Region Champions host the first round of the state tournament.

Tazewell 7 Richlands 5. Tazewell will play Abingdon on Thursday in the championship game and Richlands will play Carroll County in the consolation game. Both games will be at Tazewell. The first game is slated to begin at 4:30.

JV Boys - 5:30 @ Tazewell HIGH School JV Girls - Immediately following the JV Boys Game @ Tazewell HIGH School -approx 6:45 Varsity Girls - 6:00 @ Tazewell MIDDLE School Varsity Boys - Immediately following Varsity Girls' game @ Tazewell MIDDLE School - approx 7:30.

That is exactly right. Grades are #1 when it comes to going to the next level, the next question a college coach will ask is "Is he/she coachable, how's the attitude?" There are very few college athletes that are 100% athletic - the majority of all scholarshiped athletes that are on full rides are receiving a big chunk of academic monies. So study -- keep the grades up and then when you prove yourself on the playing surface you will be recruitable.

Alan Cantrell is a great guy. I would assume his son Travis will take over. He has been Alan's assistant for several years. Congratulations!!!

Billy Wagner came to Tazewell because the cousin he was living with came to Tazewell. The baseball program at the time Billy was in high school was good - but it did not have the facilities or the reputation that it has now. Billy has helped make that reputation. Billy was a bulldog because that was where his aunt and uncle choose for him and his cousins to come -- it made sense -- they worked in Tazewell and could be closer to their children. However, I will say that Billy is probably very thankful that he was able to play for a class act like Lou Peery who helped him get into college as he has so many over the years. As for Lockhart moving to Richlands -- I completely understand why he did it.

What is Gedi?

That is exactly right. Sounds like a little jealousy to me - if the only thing you can complain about is the long sleeves consider yourself blessed.

Great Picture -- the lighting is really good -- can't believe you got this one from inside a gym. Nice Job!!
