I recently spoke to a coach at Graham and was told that the kid from Giles was going to Radford.

The morning of the state championship game many people gathered behind the high school to show support for the team. Among them was Tony with his infectious smile. He made the trip to Salem to support Graham. After the game he was on the field living it up with his friends celebrating the Graham win. Had he not been wearing a Beaver jacket one would have thought he was a Graham Gman like everyone else. When Graham played at Giles this year, there he was supporting Graham again. I hope Bluefield will retire the #5 in his honor. 
Whoever the fortunate person is that received his heart, you got yourself a heart of a champion. 

I want to personally thank all of you guys for your well wishes for our family. I know that Shelly and Slick and Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Ella greatly appreciate everything that the community has done and is doing to honor Tony. Please continue to keep the Blevins and Webster families in your thoughts. I can honestly say, that he is absolutely the best kid that I have ever been associated with. I may be a little bias but I have never in my life seen a kid that is always smiling, up-beat and as positive as Tony was. It definitely shows is how the communities of Mercer and Tazewell as well as surrounding counties have come together to honor such a wonderful young man. May he rest in peace and never be forgotten!!

And the truth of the matter is, there is some shitty basketball being played in SWVA this year...fact...might be, top to bottom, worst year I've ever seen...

I used to question stuff like this until I ended up having a few come my way here in Charlotte. 

Just hope Tommy Edwards doesn’t suplex any of our players.  Circa 1991 (I think)
You older Gmen fans might know what I’m talking about,

We all know that Cam Allen of Graham is the best player in this coverage area. But after watching the game today I honestly believe Devin Lester is the 2nd best player in the coverage area.

The same thing happened here in Charlotte 2 weeks ago. Independence and Rocky River were fighting as well as East Meck and Hickory Ridge.

That conference is the best in the state from top to bottom. There are only 2 bad teams in the conference, those being Hopewell (0-8) and Lake Norman (2-7). North Meck and West Charlotte are also competitive to some extent and will make the playoffs and give that conference 6 teams to get in.

You may not want to miss the Hough and MC game. It may be a classic, especially with all of the transfers that Hough got in this summer. 

There's several candidates, I know Rose at LB for VHS will get some votes, and I wouldn't protest if Cam Allen won both offensive and defensive POY.
 
Sproles at Ridgeview is a great LB, there's no clear cut answer for defense.

Richlands Helmet for Graham this week honors Justin.

Fred Simon has been coaching Bluefield since the Challenger explosion.  Greg Mance has been coaching Richlands since the Clinton administration.  Those are two coaches who have seen almost everything; adjusted to almost everything; and have won almost everything.  In order to be playing in December (unless you luck up in a year like 2004 or 2013), you have to go through the Greg Mances and the Travis Turners of the world to get there.  Palmer’s not at that level...yet.  I’ve seen nothing to suggest that he can’t get there.  However, I would like to see more even-headed and consistent play.  The Union game last year was disappointing not for the loss, but the manner in which the loss happened.  Same for the Richlands games in 2016.  Those are program-defining moments.  Again, I have the faith he can get there.
