  1. This would be after season is over for the best seniors from WV and Va playing ..

     

    Ahhh ok my bad....yes sounds like a great idea.....could possible play it at Brushfork Armory in WV and alternate it with a site in VA. Are you thinking do a girls and boys game both with 3 point shootouts and dunk contest all on the same night? How big of a area are you looking to draw from? I would be more than happy to assist in this.

  2. I heard Bill Curry I think talking about all this on Mike and Mike this morning and it was his thought that if anyone ever takes it to the supreme court the NFL NBA or whomever could not keep kids from declaring for the draft straight out of high school.

     

    Kids turn pro in tennis and golf (girls more so than boys) in their teens.

     

    The problem is money.....as long as top draft choices continually get huge dollars NFL teams would be reluctant to draft these kids high and pay them to develop while they mature and learn the system....when many will be free agents before they are ready to contribute. Yes there is the occasional man child who could right out of high school but most are not ready for the NFL at 18 or 19 years old.

     

    I like the idea of basketball adopting the baseball rule: go right out of high school if you want but if not must stay 3 years of college.

     

    For football I would like to see the main draft continue as is....but have a supplemental draft for kids not currently elgible with a much lower pay scale so that teams wouldnt be shelling out huge amounts so they could develop the kids without the added pressure of putting them on the field if the athelete chooses to go that route in place of college. I dont think we would ever see farm teams in football but baseball has the best concept in place in my opinion.

  3. Princeton scratched out a 3-1 win over Riverside tonight to move on. Scored 2 runs in the first and another in the 3rd to lead 3-0. Riverside scored in the bottom of the sixth and left runners at 3nd and 3rd. Had runners on first and second with two outs in the seventh before bowing out. Princeton left oodles on runners on throughout the game.....based loaded twice and didnt score....almost came back to haunt them but they hung on. Will play next Thursday at 430 at Power Park in Charleston....good luck Tigers

  4. Sectionals by rule in WV are double elimination.....but they are playing round robin to start with and then going from there. I just talked to Logans coach and the way they have agreed to is this

     

    Logan beat GW......currently SC is ahead of Logan by 1 in the fifth inning....If SC would beat Logan then lose to GW all teams would have a 1-1 record

     

    They go back to the first pairing and Logan plays GW again at the opposite field that they played the first game at....

     

    The winner of that game would face SC for the sectional title.....

     

    I thought it was strange but they thought it was fair and the best way to do it

  5. I had never seen this before until this year: In a double elimination sectional I had always seen seeds 2 and 3 play....the winner plays 1....then the loser of that game faces the loser of the first game in an elimination game.....the winner must then beat the other team twice to claim the championship.

     

    Several sections have chosen a different path: They are essentially playing round robin. Of course if they end up 2-0, 1-1, and 0-2 you have the same situation....the 1-1 team must beat the 2-0 team twice to claim the championship. I was just wondering if all teams are 1-1 how they are determining who plays the first elimination game and who gets the bye....are they going back to runs allowed or something like that?

  6. Well Im partial because my son is playing but Princeton has a very good team. They have 5 quality pitchers (Otey, Rose, Southcott, Pennington and Quick). Otey and Rose have struggled a bit early but Janutalol has come in and been effective in relief. Very solid team both in the field and at the plate. Of course if Waz throws for Tazewell they will be tough to beat. Tigers play Nitro a doubleheader on Saturday so they will probably know a lot about where they stand state wise from those games.

  7. Coming from someone who was been banned before and ridiculed and yes given it back to the powers to be:

     

    A. If you want to have a PUBLIC message board NOONE should be banned simply for voicing an opinion, only for personal attacks on individuals, profanity etc.

     

    B. Identities of people should not be given when it is supposedly an anonymous message board. Statements like its my message board Ill do what I want are pretty arogant statements and do nothing but alienate everyone other than the chosen few.

     

    C. Use your powers to lock threads that get out of hand, not ban people.

     

    D. Placing avatars and signatures besides people names are funny the first time but the 12 year old humor quickly disappears.

     

     

    I have truly enjoyed the message board over the years, I came with an agenda when Coach Havens was hired at Bluefield to defend him. I have often wondered why Buster Large doesnt face much scrutiny on here, I suppose it is because he is from Graham but none the less I suppose it is the jobs of message board trolls to second guess coaches of their teams.

     

    If you are sincere in your statement for everyone to get along I suggest that the Administrator and Moderators all act like grown ups instead of teenagers and run the message board more professionally.

     

    FLAME ON!
