I believe Abingdon won the district again in 2022 which would have been Evan Ramsey's senior year.
-
Which is kind of surprising when you consider the past successes of Haysi and Lee in basketball. Both of those programs were tough in the late 90s and 2000s. It seems like Lee has gone thru a lot of turnover with their coaches and Ridgeview has been a cellar dweller since consolidation took place.
-
On recent results I'd lean towards Union having the best odds of winning the district but Gate City and Abingdon are in the mix. Abingdon at Gate City on Friday will be a big game. I think Wise has too many losses to win the regular season title but they are more than capable of winning the district tournament.
-
Any word on why Hayes and Horn were not included in the starting lineup against Battle?
-
Harless has a history of showing interest in coaching jobs around our area in the past but hasn't made the move. If I were a Union fan I wouldn't get my hopes up that he's the next coach.
-
I agree that it should have been a walk call before the three but I don't see a foul on Graham at the end of the game.
-
Boys. I thought Wise & Gate City would be improved from last year but that doesn't look like the case.
-
I'm not sure they are good. Mountain District looks to be down this year.

This seems to be the case for most teams in todays game. It is rare to see a team that is able to get the ball into the post much less have a post player being able to score with their back to the basket. A majority of players are settling for the three point shot and their coaches are content to run a 5 out system using their big men as screeners instead of scorers.

It is good to see Battle winning games. I think they play hard for their coach and they don't show boat or complain when things aren't going their way. I would like to see Union's coaching staff enforce consequences for the behavior of their players. Leading the district in technical fouls should be embarrassing for the school. -

So winning a state championship in 1981 is not an accomplishment? -
I wouldn't count them out yet. Its early in the season. They've got a new coach to adapt to and Wise is missing the scoring that Ethan Collins provided from last year. Plus they are still relatively young. Gate City, Union and Wise Central should be contending for the Mountain District Title.

That McClung guy was pretty fun to watch...

Hope they lose every game they play. John Marshall and Liberty Christian are two of the biggest frauds in the VHSL.

Abingdon should be the favorite to win the Mountain District and 3D. Wise should finish second and Union third. Ridgeview and possibly Gate City in the mix for fourth place. Southwest District is still way behind the Mountain District. They could go 0 for 4 in regional play depending upon the matchups.
