If I remember correctly Marion's 6th & 7th grade team played in a championship game against Chilhowie this past Fall. They have some talent coming but it will take a while for them to contribute to varsity.
I don't believe hot seats exist in SWVA due to the lack of applicants for coaching jobs these days but if they did I'd put Wise Central, J.I. Burton, and Gate City at the top of the list.

Being good at a sport rarely equates to being a good coach of that sport. From what I've read in this thread it seems like the player should have just stuck to travel ball. Playing for a high school team can be a huge difference from playing for a travel ball team.
How did Trivette get player of the year when her team finished 4th in a 2A district and they lost in the first round of regions? I think she is a great player but her team was not very successful this year.
Abingdon should be the favorite in the Mountain District. They return their top 2 leading scorers. Wise and Union should be in contention. After that most of the teams will be in rebuilding mode.
This is a big part of the problem at Virginia High. Just take responsibility. Your basketball team was out of control and they had 0 discipline for a majority of the year. You can compare them to a million different schools or events but it's not going to change the fact that the basketball team embarrassed your school system. There should be consequences handed down starting with the parent and coaching staff and then the players.
Complete agree. If you have watched the boys or girls play for Virginia High the last few years this behavior is no surprise. They have behaved poorly for a while now and it was just a matter of time before something like this took place.
