Thankfully it sounds as if you are over the worst of it.  I have a close family member who has multiple critical issues, and they are battling this respiratory ailment now.  Prayers for continued recovery and strength.  

I heard he was released from the hospital 2 days ago.

Congrats G-Men!!!  69 years to the trophy.  They came on a mission, with a commission by Coach Baker and didn't relent until the buzzer said GAME OVER!!!  G-men state champions.  
Wow!!!  Heart throbbing to watch.   They played with tenacity and no holds barred. Each player contributing when the game was on the line.    Martin's 4th qtr drives to the basket.  Mr. Fix it, with his never quit attitude.  Gabe the enforcer, Disibbio with his plays.  Just an all around effort.  As the Frank Sinatra song goes the Gmen anthem  "I Did It My Way."

It is a beautiful day of sunshine we have been graced with.  May it be a beautiful day for the Union Bear girls, the Graham G-men, Fort Chiswell boys, and tomorrow for the Abingdon Falcon girls basketball teams.    To have four local teams to ascend to the championship game AWESOME!!!   Today may you shine on the courts of adversity.  Play as one, win as one.  At the end of the game may you be holding the trophy you won.

Blues Scoring for half

Fuller 2
Herndon 2
Hurst  3

First of all kudos to the young man and young lady doing the play-by-play.  I had a hard time hearing her, but the young man did an outstanding job.  Matter of fact, I first thought it was Ben Brown of WGTH.  Really sounded like him.
Now:
Wow!!! Wow!!!  As Gridiron said the Blues came to play and that they did.  Wynter Boyd and Parker Rider such a force on offense.  Herndon and Fuller are the X factor in this win.  Solid play from Cooper Hurst.  So proud of the Blues.    Playing their 3rd game in 3 nights.  Awesome!!!

The Lebanon coaching staff needs to look closely at the film of both games.  What did the Gmen do differently last night with their defense and offense that created the gap between the two games.  Go from there and adjust.  I would think as you do in football making adjustments at the half, the same should be true in basketball.   I do think overall the Gmen hold the edge  with their athleticism and speed,  but I still feel there shouldn't  have been that much disparity between the two games.  

Graham did pick it up in the 4th qtr .  No deference to the Gmen's play, but I felt Lebanon should have run clock in the 4th when they were up by 11 with 4 minutes or so in regulation. .They started  going for the homerun ball and throwing  it out of bounds and over players heads.  Thus O/T.  

Definitely a different game then the one at Graham.

Hold your horses now!!!  I think Coach Mance could match him in coaching.  Coach Mance in 2024 was the 3A COY in SC.  In 2025 he took the Lions, for the 2nd year in a row,  to the Lower State Championship Game again with locals, no transfers.   His 2025 Lions team, had 3 of his seniors signing with D-1 South Carolina State.  -  His record at Richlands has garnered him the honor of the football field being named for him.    FLC you are a wealth of info and stats.  You remember more in a day, than I recall in a year.   I would say the difference if it went to Harless, would lie more in years left to coach, and not the execution of the game.  Coach Mance has an innate ability to know where to place each player to get the maximum for his team.  

Mance to return for another year
Despite speculation and conversations about his potential retirement, Loris football head coach Greg Mance confirmed to MyHorryNews on Friday, Jan. 9, that he would be returning as the team's coach in 2026. 
It is expected that Mance will coach the Lions for, at minimum, at least the next two seasons.
Mance has led the Loris program since 2020, reaching the Lower State Finals in both of the last two seasons. Last year, the Lions had the most successful year of any football program in school history, going 13-1 and winning a region championship for the second season in a row.
