A dunk is still worth 2 points. Doesn’t help much when you’re trailing by 15 late!  
Just saying!

I found the article to be one of the more unbiased pieces from an outlet known for its liberal bias.  I recently read two Pew Research Center articles.  One cited US media bias as being among the worst in the world.  I'm certainly not surprised.  It seems factual accuracy has given way to shock and awe, regardless of political leaning.  The other ranked US based media outlets in terms of biased reporting.  I was surprised CNN was found to be the least biased media outlet in the US.  I shouldn't be so surprised, though.  The center has gotten so blurred in recent years, anything down the middle has a feel of bias depending on the readers political leanings.
Rather interesting research from an organization known the world over for its unbiased, fair assessment of government.  

Loved seeing this score... Still hard feelings after that Haysi/Covington playoff football game several years ago.  Lol

Galax girls are blistering Covington 28-0 after a quarter.

Skipping class to post ridiculousness online isn't serving your best interests!  Is your homeroom teacher sick today?

Long time Galax basketball coach Verl Brown announced his retirement after Galax lost the Region 1C quarterfinal to Parry McClure.  I didn't attend Galax schools so, I didn't have the pleasure of playing for him.  My brother and I competed against him and always respected his leadership and dedication to his kids.  And make no mistake, each and every kid that has came through the Galax school system over the past 35 years are his kids!  
He has devoted his life to making this community a better place for all of us.  I can only hope he remains a fixture and enjoys his retirement!
Thanks coach!

They aren't playing in Class A anymore...

Bliss is certainly an antonym for what's there in reality.  Fortunately, I wasn't there long.  Those 115 degree days followed by 45 degree nights were more than I cared to endure long enough to get accustomed to.  Not to mention, the astroturf lawns!

To be fair, George Wythe won the MED on a coin flip.  But you're right, I don't see Grayson beating either Gate City or Graham.  Grayson is very good and would be competitive on a regional and state level in most years but this isn't "most years".  Gate City and Graham are exceptionally talented.  
As I said in another thread, Grayson gave Radford all it wanted and then some.  Wes Ayers had 21 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals.  If Radford thinks it had a tough night guarding Ayers, wait till they see McClung, Ervin and Dean.  In my opinion and from what I've seen, Graham and Gate City both would beat Radford handily.

An interesting insight into the Galax girls basketball program.

How much you wanna bet on GC falling in the semis?

The conference Wells is going into had 5 of 8 6 of 8 schools reach the state tournament last season in football.  Three of those five six schools reached the state final-4.  The I-Meck-8 conference is the toughest single conference in all of North Carolina regardless of sport, and that's saying something.  Moorseville is the smallest of the 8 schools at nearly 1,800 students.
My brothers kids go to one of those schools, Hough.  I've been to a lot of athletic events through the years with him.  I love high school athletics in SWVA, but there is no comparison to what you see down there.
 

Not baseball but if anyone gets an opportunity to watch Sydney Nester from Carroll pitch, she is phenomenal. She is 55-2 with an ERA of 0.55, 725 strikeouts and 67 walks through 3 seasons.  She committed to NC State following her sophomore season.  Carroll won the 4A state title in 2015 behind her pitching.  They have lost extra inning games each of the past two seasons to northern Virginia teams in the state tournament.

I don't believe he comes back to Richlands. I used to think he was the heir apparent to Mance, but his career trajectory is heading up, and let's be real, a move from Mooresville to Richlands isn't even lateral, it's down. 

Cost, zoning, regulation, funding, etc. etc. etc..........  The cost per square foot for commercial construction in 1950 was less the one-half-of-one-percent of the average household income.  Today, it's closer to 6%!
Current Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Codes for new school construction stipulates two distinctive ingresses and egresses.  Basically, bus loading zones must be kept completely detached from any other forms of parking and travel through the school property, including travel and parking for athletic fields.  School access roads aren't allowed to encircle the school.  All roadways and parking areas must have "unobstructed views" from the main school building.  The property is also required to meet minimum usable acreage guidelines.  This requires a minimum of 10 acres with and additional acre required per 100 students in average daily attendance.  So, if a school has an average daily attendance of 1,000 students, the property would be required to be no fewer than 20 acres.  However, the key phrase in this requirement is "usable acreage".  Stormwater collection areas, athletic fields and any other "waste" areas aren't considered "usable areas".

Yeh, maybe so.  But I have one thing Social Media doesn't have...a filter.
