If we do, it's possible teams in our area won't have enough players to finish the season with all the injuries.

I disagree. The Big East can compete with the SEC & the ACC in basketball. Villanova, Seton Hall, Marquette, Butler, Creighton, and Xavier have competitive programs that regularly make the NCAA Tournament. Then you add in Georgetown's non con schedule where they played Duke, Texas, and Syracuse. I still think he will average double digits in scoring in the ACC or any other conference as long as he's healthy. 

Transfer to Wake Forest and don't leave without the degree. Play two years in the best conference in the country. Enter the draft and and hope for the best. If it doesn't happen, you can always play pro ball in Europe. When age or injury says it's over, you walk away with a college education and no regrets.

Agreed.  Dixon could make that program into a power in quick order, and the fit makes sense.

probably not this year but next i would say. has to be uncomfortable having another coach teaching with you.

The truth is, Dixon all but took the head coaching job at Monticello High School in Charlottesville back in December before his wife changed his mind for him.  Pulaski isn't very far of a drive from Galax and Mrs. Dixon can remain close to her children at Virginia Tech. 
Not an inevitability but something that makes a lot of sense on several levels.

Southwest Times article mentions that.  What's the over/under on "Roon Nation" screaming for James to replace Harner?

I was at the D6 state championship games in 1992 and 1993 with Shayne Graham's uncle.  He was the plant manager of the glass/mirror plant in Galax where I worked every afternoon all through high school.  Pulaski beat Thomas Dale in 1992 to win the state championship 35-20 in something of an upset.  Ken Oxendine was Dale's superstar.  Ox had a very good game if memory serves but Pulaski played a solid game.  Pulaski lost to EC Glass and Salem early in the 1992 season.  They beat James Robinson 12-10 on four Shayne Graham field goals in the state semifinals that year.  If memory serves, Dale had throttled everyone all season and was ranked in the USA Today pole before Pulaski beat them.  Which likely led to Pulaski's ranking going into the 1993 season.
Annandale beat Thomas Dale in the semifinals and Pulaski in the finals the following season and would win 26 consecutive games along with the 1993 and 1994 state titles.  I remember those Annandale teams being very balanced and almost impossible to score on.  Seems like they only allowed a shade under 200 points for the entire 1993 and 1994 seasons.  And that includes giving up 41 points to GW Danville in the 1994 state championship game.  No high-end D1 talent on those two Annandale teams but 20+ players going on to play at places like Georgetown, Towson, Bowie State and Howard if I remember correctly.

Ah...wasn't really hoping to accomplish anything anyway.  Just curious.  Good to know.  Thanks.  

His first season was 0-10 trying to rebuild what Hale destroyed.  After that, he was 16-8 with wins over Grayson County twice, Radford twice, Narrows, Galax, George Wythe and Chilhowie.  Chilhowie was in the midst of a multi-year state run.  Galax has reached the state semifinals every year since 2015.  George Wythe and Narrows is a perennial contender in Region C.  Radford reached the state finals during that stretch.  Grayson County beat Ridgeview in the playoffs during this stretch.
Pretty impressive to me given the success of those programs over the past 5 years!

I used to have a quick trigger finger, but as I've aged, I've mellowed and allow just a little bit more than I used to.  However, if you hit that right note...

Welcome!  Pretty good group here.  The BS gets "hammered" pretty quickly!

You must’ve not been around for Lucastookis

He did a fantastic job at Fort Chiswell cleaning up the dumpster-fire Tom Hale left behind.  I wasn't happy with the way he left but..........something about water and bridges!

It wasnt the best exit but its hard to blame a guy for going home 

Could you tell me where Tom Hale hasn't left behind a "dumpster fire" in his coaching career?😂

Just like Galax, or any other small school in rural Virginia, PH was dam lucky to have such an incredible coach for as long as PH did!  Be grateful for what Palmer built and help the incoming staff continue the momentum going forward.  Or continue to criticize and be "that guy" and watch the program go back to what it was in 2009, 2010 and 2011!!!

Quite a few "immigrant" kids at certain schools around here (using quotation marks because a lot of them are actually natural born American citizens themselves).  With no intent to sound condescending or patronizing, those guys and their families are all great.  They really contribute a lot to the game and our players (both LHS and the club) have always appreciated the opportunity to get to know them and "up their game" by the increased level of competition.  Kind of the intent of sports at its purest level, I think.
LHS really hit the jackpot with regard to exchange students this year.  But other than Felix (our German player), we got lucky.  The Italian guys wound up here mainly because Bedford was their cheapest option to come to America.  I knew that Matteo was pretty darned good (his host family is just around the corner from us and he is a frequent guest at our house).  But I only found out about his association with Juventus just the other day.
