The Chilhowie game means absolutely nothing to us (not to mention it was in a tournament and will not affect the outcome or seeding come the region tournament). Good teams have off nights. Can anyone argue that top ranked teams such as Duke, UNC, Oklahoma, Texas, Syracuse, etc. are no longer good teams and can be "challenged by anyone now" because they each lost to a bad team?? Didn't think so. Also, one game cannot be used as a guage to determine how successfully that team will perform and execute against another. We play different styles, run different offenses and defenses, and face the same every night. Marion speak for yourself, most of the teams in the district have improved from last year,Abingdon, Tazewell, and Graham in particular. You're making yourself look worse criticizing the district as being weak, yet being the only team in that district without a win. We look forward to welcoming you to Abingdon next friday.
Sincerely,
Abingdon High School
