old school is a rare find these days, always appreciated like a breath of fresh air. 

Never met Kevin, I've only heard things.  Matt I coached with years ago and have seen when we've played Radford.  Matt has always been a great guy who is very passionate about his football.   
You can be "old school" and be successful.  I would even say that some of these kids now days need some "old school" in their lives. 
  

The folks here in Radford are very happy with the hiring of Crist.  It's weird, but Radford (the City of) and School Board often get these things right.  Call it good people running the show or luck, but we usually get the right coaches for the job, and we usually get the right teachers for our students.  I'm not trying to give a pat on the back here, just saying that our School Board/Leaders are actually pretty good, pretty sharp, just decent people that make pretty good leadership decisions, and that's largely based on having a good culture.  I think Crist will be welcomed in with open arms and that he will excel at Radford.  Radford's football culture is well entrenched.  Crist is a sharp dude, but at Radford, he's not going to have to change the culture or build up the youth feeder leagues, or have run in's with the baseball or basketball coach,  He's going to do well imo and the hire was a slam dunk for the Bobcats.  

He is a winner,he expects boys to be men or on there way to being a man, did he cures-yes, grab a kid by the facemask-yes, did he let little johnny's parent tell him "little johnny should play because I GAVE THE PROGRAM $$$$, ---NO.HE is better suited for kids that have seen a lot worse than a coach raising his voice at practice.I would dare to say that if JJ KELLY or CENTRAL would have kept SAUNDERS that they may have had a ring or two

Not necessarily true.  Some, like Kevin, are old school and still a great coach.  
 
 

There was a time when there were no playoffs so I guess all the games before then were pointless. Or the games could be for fun, education and teamwork and all the other reasons that we have high schools sports in the first place.

I guess ppl. aren't old enough to rem.  Heath Miller

Tim Hayes @Hayes_BHCSports   Gavin Cross (Tennessee High) drove in four of Virginia Tech's five runs in today's 5-1 #ACC victory over Pittsburgh. He finished 3-for-3 with his fifth homer of the season, a double, walk, sac. fly and run scored. #LocalsInCollege   great state

Imagine that. The kid that could never amount to anything at a D1 level has made first team in a power 5 league. 🤷🏻‍♂️

VHSL Athletics Retweeted Cody Elliott @VTCody   I’m old enough to remember when I watched Mac McClung in back-to-back @VHSL_ state tournaments and was told he wouldn’t make it at the next level. Hope those folks are doing well these days.   Tim Hayes Retweeted Texas Tech Basketball @TexasTechMBB   Lived up to the billing.

@McclungMac great state
Congrats Mac,  SWVA native and Gate City grad  

Who is Street? Cox will start and Keen is ready to step in if needed.

Win your region first, then talk.  But I do believe Radford is the team to beat this year.  I'm sure it will be a challenge for anyone coming out of Region D, IF they play.

Hello everybody. 
 
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been on the boards. Nearly 5 months now. While I won’t go into exact details — I felt it necessary to get away and take a break from most forms of social media. I left the board and also left Facebook for over 2 months. I used that time to look inward, instead of always looking outward and trying to find the negative around me. 
 
Through it all, I feel like I’ve started to turn a corner in my mental health. My family has went through the gauntlet this fall and winter. Multiple deaths — many due to Covid — have taken away people I loved dearly. Rifts with family and friends. Personal health and financial hardships. We’ve been through it all and come out (so far) stronger. 
 
Over the last several years, I’ve become unnecessarily combative to those around me — and that includes many of you here. For that, I am sorry. I’ve seen the pattern of who I was as a human, and continue to strive to correct that flaw on a daily basis. I don’t always win the battle — but I am determined to win this war. I hope that you can forgive me for things I may have said or done in the past that were out of line and unnecessary. If not — I understand that as well and truly respect where you’re coming from. I did years of damage to relationships and friendships that aren’t easily repaired. 
 
In any case, I am excited to get back and talk local sports with all of you. We are so lucky to be alive and healthy and able to talk about our amazing athletes from Radford to Ewing (hey Brady). 
 
Also, a huge thank you to GMan for checking in on me in what was a low point. I really do appreciate it. 

if mask work why 6 feet apart and if 6 feet apart why mask?

Not for sure how Radford got into this but I will say if it wasn't for R U Radford City would be on the right. I don't talk much but I can read and quite a few of you should do the same. MAGA

Trump been the most investigated Person in the history of planet earth. A pack of Trump hating Democrat federal investigators, with unlimited funds and unlimited power, couldn't find anything. Must be the most intelligent career crook of all time. I'd prefer a billionaire that became a politician to a politician that became a millionaire.

Joe Stiltner scored 875 points in only 21 games for Bland in 1977.  His 41.7 points per game scoring average that season is still #1 in the VHSL Book of Records.  The link is a photo of him playing for Norm Sloan at NC State.

Any list of "best high school basketball players from SWVA" that doesn't include Stiltner is incomplete!

That was always so weird to me.  There’s no way on earth I would cheer for Virginia Tech because Ricky Stokes was coaching them, or Tennessee because Derek Dooley was coaching them (or Gate City because Chris Akers was coaching them).  Seemed forced and contrived from Moment #1...

You must know my wife's ex-husband! Lol

I'm not sure about this. He's from Giles so him ever being in a pool is not a given.

In my 15 years of being on this board, this is probably the deadest I've ever seen it... Hopefully one day this ole world will get back to normal. Hope everyone is staying safe and having a good summer!

Agreed on all counts.  Pulaski has the potential to be a force in 4A, and Dixon has a proven track record.  That being said, he left Galax far better than he found it (like any good Hoo).
