Welcome to the American League.

Wow, so they win Region C and have to play in Norton's backyard. And Heritage wins Region III and has to play Salem in Salem?

According to this, Bland won Region C and has to travel to Norton's backyard for a quarterfinal game? Same with Heritage-Lynchburg vs. Salem.

Everybody said the same last year and Floyd and Wise both lost in regional semis.

Didn't Holston beat John Battle this year?

Being a Buffalo fan I am sure you hate a lot of things. I kid, I kid. Sort of.

Like the ankle that he injured during the playoffs. Also do you think Jeter will eventually have to change position? How long can he keep being an everyday shortstop at his age? Where would you put him if so?

Pretty crazy that the all-time home run hitter (Bonds), all-time hit leader (Rose) and the guy with the most Cy Young Awards (Clemens) will not be in the Hall of Fame anytime soon.

Wow.

OK. Enjoy the game.

I am pretty sure the principals from West schools had a vote on the playoff system too. Geez guys, not everything is a conspiracy.

Isn't this good for the LPD Pride? Fans can see Clintwood Friday night and J.I. Burton on Saturday.

Was Gretna to Grayson or Charles City at Parry McCluer more than 3.5 hours?

I would have liked to seen Phillips take the Miller route and moved to tight end.

What if the 2-8 team plays a tougher schedule than 3-7? In my opinion neither should be in, but it's a tough argument. One has more wins, one played tougher teams. I guess we will find out at the end of the regular season.

But a 3-7 team does?

Same guy that made "Hoop Dreams" directed this.

Appalachia had some dang good ballplayers -- Shane Gibson, Larry Huff, Travis Clark, Travis Turner, Chris Mabe, Sam Sellers, Jamie Jessee, etc., etc.

Travel apparently is not considered with these new proposals.

Honaker makes sense in the Hogoheegee. They've been there before and have a comparable enrollment to all the schools.

Perhaps they meant enrollment to compete with AAA Tennessee High. I would hope so at least.

The Holloway kid was a beast on the line for Tazewell and Jeff Lamie was a great athlete who just made plays. That '86 Tazewell team was loaded. John Rainey was great for the Bulldogs in the '60s. Don't forget Darryl Wilson from Virginia High. He played in the NFL for one year and was a great athlete at VHS in the 80s.

Excellent points. I think we sometimes forget these kids go to school for seven hours a day too.

Think about being a high school kid playing for this school and live near the North Carolina border (I am assuming some kids live that far from the school). Let's say you live about 40 minutes away from the high school and you have a Tuesday night basketball game at Franklin County. You don't get back to the school around say 10:30, have a 40 minute drive home, some homework to finish and then you have to get up at about 7 a.m. to go back to school the next day. That would be extremely tough.

The '12 team is the best basketball team in the world. No doubt. The '92 team changed the world in terms of basketball A lot of the European players now playing in the NBA give credit to that team for stoking their interest in the sport as youngsters.
