VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 After spotting Grundy a 3-point lead after the 1st quarter, MV went on a 15-0 run, inc. a 2:00, 10-point streak by Ashley Norton, as the Lady Warriors easily defeated Grundy 66-38. After a pretty even 8 minute stretch sandwiching h/t, MV went on another 15-0 run to lead 56-26 with 6:00 to play. Norton led all scorers w/ 25 points while Latisha Belcher added 24. Kaitlyn Riley & Ashley Cook led the Lady Wave (19-4) w/ 12 each. MV (17-3) advances to play either Tazewell (15-10) or Va. High (20-3) for the Region IV crown Friday night at 7 at the Bearcat Den. The Wave boys have their work cut out for them Thur. night as they travel to Bassett. Word is that a lot of the Bengals were F-C football players a couple of years back. I just know they've been waiting to get another shot at us since we won the last football game ever played at F-C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PocketNines9 10 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I am assuming that Sheppard did not play?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 she "retired" a while back due to the injury - with AAU play coming up, it doesn't need to worsen. She was at the game and said her foot was feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ball 10 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Anyone want to venture on where Grundy's Sheppard will play next year or even if she is still VHSL eligible? I know that has been questioned many times over this season. According to VHSL rules you have 8 semesters to play after entering the 9th grade -- this will be 8 for her -- just not at the same school -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six4three 10 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 sounds like she is a real "team player". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcats1 10 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 She's not a team player at all. She's only used 6 semesters though. 2 years at VHS and 1 year at Grundy. I don't think giving up high school basketball to play AAU will help her get ready for college. I think she realizes she aint D1 material anyway.

six4three 10 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 you guys at vhs should know first hand. i thought it was great that you won the district without her. you would have beaten grundy if you played them. you're right, if she is big-time d1 material, then i'm major league bound. it's all about her, not the team.

olewave 44 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 get a clue buddy, the catholic school is not a vhsl sanction school. the 8 semesters started her freshman year at va high. don't they teach counting in tazewell? 2 years at va high equal 4 semesters. one year grundy equal 2 semesters. 2 plus 4 equal 6 semesters. 8 semesters minus 6 equal 2 left. grundy has a letter from the vhsl with this spelled out in black and white. get over it, she will have two more semesters.

six4three 10 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 all the hype that you read is coming directly from the girl's mother. i've heard newspaper reporters say that she about drives them crazy calling the paper and giving them stories to print. the girl is a good player, no doubt. but all the hype created about her comes directly from one source. it's as if the rest of the team doesn't even exist. it's almost sickening.
