I'm watching a free broadcast and still feel like I'm getting ripped off.

Sorry guys but Mac hasn't earned anything yet, but thankfully the BDT got it right again!

Well, someone ought to tell Fred.

Below average coach + average talent = Richlands basketball. 
They have played a cupcake schedule to get to 8-0 with wins against weak 1A opponents.

It is virtually like this everywhere regardless what people say.

Brian has been around long enough. If I was guessing I'd say Brian knew exactly what was going on but he chose to quote it directly for everyone to see since Fred wanted to give a childish response to his question. 

Carlock is liable to beat Richlands by 50 at Richlands if possible. I would run it up as much as I could next time they played.

I actually have... among several other teams. There is a following but lets be honest. Ridgeview/Central have had top 1-2 teams in C40 for a few years (plus GC) but their boys teams (minus GC) have been basement dwellers. 
I was speaking more so about all the chat on this board about girls basketball... 

I like to look at what he did against the local teams and compare that to the next 13 games. He "Should/Could" average 40 points a game... 
Give him some cushion when the postseason begins in case he has an off night by scoring 25 lol. 
Factors that I think that play in are how far GC goes this year (obviously) and how much He/Vermillion pump the breaks against the local teams. Judging by what he did against Lee/Wise/TN High, I doubt there will be much pumping of the breaks though.

He has 13 regular season games left. I assume that there will be a district tournament (3 games)? and a Region(3-4 games) tournament, quaterfinal, semi final, and state final... 
Rough math says he has a max of 23 games left. He needs 34 points a game to achieve this. Of course, a lot of variables go into this. It is possible but doubtful I think. 

Fairly positive it is off coaches nomination. They roughly get the nomination paper around halfway through the season, fill the form out with selected all-star players and send it into the VHSL. From there, a committee (I assume) looks at the players, stats, etc., and makes their decision. I would assume Turner put several players on the nomination form he thought could make it.  I also think there is a limit of how many a team can nominate too. 
Union was well represented which is great! They got 2 players into an All Star game. Be grateful! A lot of teams went without representation. Sounds like the kid was worthy, however.

I realize this as does most posters with a brain on this forum. C40 boys cannot match up with GC at all. GC will beat Union by 20+ and they are probably the 2nd best team come mid Feb. I know Vermillion is to beef the schedule up but the thing is come late January-early Feb, competition is weak and that is when teams should be preparing to peak. I see they are playing Cleveland Tennessee (i know nothing about them but assume they are good?) and Pulaski Co late in the season. Good move IMO. GC cannot help what conference/district they are in. What they can help is out of conference schedule and I think they did a magnificent job getting quality competition to play. 
I hope GC finally gets to hoist the trophy in Richmond in March! 

This. Could not have said this any better. 
Once GC sees some good competition in the Arby's SWVA and the rest of the state of VA will know just how good GC is. They should be the favorite to win the 2A championship IMO though. 

Please don’t do this.
 
They’d get smashed.  E&H is a pretty darned good team in the ODAC (7-0), and UVA-Wise is D2 and isn’t chopped liver there, either (5-6).  The sheer depth and experience disparity alone would choke Gate City.  Not saying McClung and Ervin wouldn’t give great accounts of themselves, but basketball is a team game, and there’s a steep drop off after #2...

@Dick_Vitale Happy that you are going to be in Lexington for the UK-VT game.
