bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I dont have an exact score, but i heard from a friend that the bluefield blazers went to magnolia and played there team. Which there whole starting lineup was MHS's starting lineup and bluefield dusted them by 25. Whats the difference between losing by 3, and winning by 25. Coaching perhaps?

bluefieldRocks 14 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Blufield is not like other AA high schools around the state. Bluefield High School has a tradition of winning and will take nothing less than excellence. Some High Schools would be tickled to death to make it to charleston. For Bluefield, thats becoming an every year event for us coming in 2nd place just dosent work for bluefield. We expect more than just to make it to charleston. We expect to come back in the middle of March with a state championship basketball trophy. and i think somebody has been holding that back from the kids who's worked there butts off. Who is it you ask? well i wont mention any names. But some changes need to be made immidietly in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Bluefield should have won the state title this year, period. There's certainly no excuse for them losing in the state quarterfinals especially in the manner in which they did. However, that will become the norm unless change comes to the program.

bluefieldRocks 14 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Looking back when we play Magnolia, the propblem was that they made us play there game. They slowed down the tempo, and our Coaching staff did nothing to change that. Until it was to late. In my opinion, bluefield wont have a team with that kind of talent for atleast a few years. You cannot replace Dexter by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have to disagree with some of that. While BHS does have high expectations and a winning tradition, the history of BHS basketball isn't like football. I don't know the whole history of the bball team but we have never been the powerhouse like we are in bluefield. [ QUOTE ] Blufield is not like other AA high schools around the state.

bluefieldRocks 14 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I hardly call winning a state title 2 years in a row, and making it to the championship game along with that since then. Then making it to charleston almost every year since then not a winning tradititon. I never said bluefield was a powerhouse. I was just stating for the bluefield players fans, coaches etc.. That not making it to charleston is considered a total failure in there eyes. Theres always talent in the basketball dept. year in and year out.

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I guess my point is if you call having a winning record and making it to Charleston every year a winning tradition then Coach Gilliard is a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool 10 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 You guys are talking about B-ball history and if my mind serves me correctly Bluefield didn't make it to Charleston before they dropped to AA thanks to Beckley always going. The first 2 years they were in AA they won it and people see to beleive that they should win it every year. It's just not going to happen. I know you EXPECT it but it's not going to happen.
