    I disagree. JM is playing within the parameters of the VH$L rules. There is no real difference between what JM is doing and what Liberty Christian Academy is doing.  
    The problem lies solely with VH$L!!! 
    The lawsuit LCA won against VHSL in 2015 opened the door for what essentially amounts to legalized recruiting. I'm not a lawyer but I would imaging VHSL would have a difficult time from a legal perspective trying to reprimand one school for recruiting while being forced to allow it through the LCA court ruling.

    Cormany was the head basketball coach at Grayson County when I was in high school. The Cormany I remember is far too competitive in nature to quit. He's also perceptive enough to understand how important the experience of playing in a state tournament can be for the future of the kids he coaches and the community in general. Those kids learned a valuable lesson. Life isn't always fair. That doesn't mean you roll over and play dead.
    I'm not sure how teaching kids to quit when things get hard is worth an attempt to send a message to VH$L they aren't going to understand anyway.

    While I agree with everything above, it fails to fully account for the constant complaint older generations make against younger generations. Kids today are often criticized for being "soft" or "lazy." But the older generations raised them to be what they are. Now, that same older generation is basing hiring practices on what those "soft" or "lazy" kids like.
    It's a nonsensical cycle that is spinning out of control at this point. It likely contributes to why local programs that were once traditional powers, are anything but now.

    I think my original post might be getting misunderstood somewhat. I'll attempt to clarify in simpler terms. 
    Would coaches of past generations (70's, 80's, 90's) have been interviewed for open coaching positions based on what a 16 year old kid and his father wanted?
    I think administrators back then would have told the kid and his dad to piss off.

    On this board, we often discus how kids today are just different than they were in previous generations. I don't think anyone here will argue against that point.
    The same can be said for the adults in the room. Which is something we rarely, if ever, discuss. Could you imagine for a second, administrators interviewing Phil Robbins, Joel Hicks, Willis White, Norm Lineburg, or Robert Casto based on the whims of a 16 year old kid and his overzealous father?

    I wonder if they TRD will rethink having a district "tournament" when it really doesn't mean anything.  Carroll was a really good team and lost their best player during it.  They haven't done a tourney in years so why did they start now?

    Narrows lost every game they played against teams from tougher districts with the exception of the worst Fort Chiswell team in a generation. Narrows has to get out of the Pioneer. You can't play a dogshit schedule and be prepared to face teams that are playing a significantly tougher slate of opponents.
    This is not a very good Grayson team either.

    More evidence the state set-up with 6 classifications is watered down as hell. Region 1C is hot garbage outside of Auburn and GW.  Parry McCluer and Narrows are decent and deserving of a playoff berth but Bath, Galax, Grayson and Eastern Montgomery are awful basketball teams and wholly undeserving of postseason play.

    Kaiden Swortzel is a TE at The Citadel. Rylan Swortzel (#24) is still there. They have a younger brother Gavin (#44) that is a freshman and talented as hell. The younger Swortzel is already bigger than his brothers.
    Floyd is a very young team but with a lot of players in that 6'-1" to 6'-5" size range. Rylan Swortzel is the only senior on the roster.

    I think CC will struggle to get past Lord Botetourt. Abingdon could surprise someone but baring injury or illness, I think CC and LB are the class of Region 3D.

    if you want a wild rabbit hole to go down, google what all companies Shaquille O’Neal has ownership in. It includes The General & Brooks Brothers, as well as the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s likeness, plus countless other things you probably wouldn’t expect.

    Same thing I've said about football having too many teams making playoffs...it's a joke.
    But the "give everyone a trophy" crowd goes crazy everytime it's said....so you have 2-8 or worse teams making playoffs

    Depends on which Grayson team shows up. They lost to GW 70-18 two weeks ago. Followed that up by getting boat raced by Bland a few nights later. I wouldn’t base anything on how anyone looks against Galax. They are terrible!!!

    If they are utilizing phosphorous credits, this would make sense. It would delay the start of construction but save some time on the back end along with a considerable amount of money.
    In a nutshell, the county would place a large tract of land in a conservation easement, meaning it could never be developed. In exchange, DEQ would significantly lighten the environmental requirements for the smaller tract of land at THS. Grayson County did this when they installed turf a couple of years ago.

    Karst topography and/or underground caves would have been found during a geotechnical report and field survey. I doubt it's something like that unless someone didn't do their job.
    It's more likely, the owner or contractor requested changes to the design for whatever reason that necessitated another DEQ review before construction can continue.
