futbolking 766 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Come see Floyd County's girls play at Graham middle school. They are fast paced, well coached and fun to watch....one of the premier girls basketball teams in the state, year in and year out. They can light up the scoreboard.

On a collision course with Wise Central perhaps in a near future .. Central and Floyd would be a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I've watched Floyd's girls play since the late 90's....... this team is about as good as any they've had (including the teams that made 3 straight appearances in the state finals).....No offense, but it's a much higher level of play than any team in our area.... As far as their district being weak??... I'd put Glenvar up against any SWVA girls teams and like their chances. Radford and Auburn were a little down this year... East Mont is never good....Floyd will not likely be challenged until the state semis, that's just the way I see it this year. If anybody from Region C or D comes within 20 points of this team, I will be surprised...and will eat crow.... You will see the results of what good coaching and hard work will do for any team...because nobody in the state of Virginia practices harder than the Floyd County girls basketball team, I will guarantee that....

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I'd make a good bet Central would at least come within 20 and stand a very good chance at beating them. As for anyone else, probably not very likely. Edited February 19, 2013 by Beamerball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an outstanding program there at Floyd..should be the model for all schools... but in the world of athletic competition good teams have off nights and weaker teams have strong nights... If the shots are falling for one team and not for the other...upsets happen.And it happens in all sports... Wise Central ,if they play Floyd will not be a easy W for Floyd... If their shots are falling it could be an interesting night...but with that being said..Wise Central must advance thru their region and not be upset...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not putting any trophies anywhere....Floyds' girls have been a model of consistency for quite a while now... and I said I would be "surprised" if anybody can stay close to them...didn't say I would be disappointed or devastated....

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Would you happen to know how far it is from Bristol Va to Floyd County? I'd say about a 2 1/4 hour drive.... Maybe 2 1/2 ... Just go straight up I-81 to exit 114 (The Christiansburg / Floyd Exit) take route 8 to Floyd (about 22 miles)...only one red light in Floyd, go through it and take the next left (about 1/4 mile)...it'll take you straight to the high school. I would recommend the Blue Ridge Diner....if you plan to stop and eat. (left at red light, 20 feet...can't miss it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they press when it is not necessary too, thus the 100 point games against weak teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I hear they press when it is not necessary too, thus the 100 point games against weak teams. Go watch them for yourself and don't go by what people say, or what you "hear"....see for yourself. Everybody on the team can play....Maybe the other teams should learn to play defense.....Coach Cantrell is a class act, one of the best coaches around here. I would be honored if he coached my kids. This area needs more coaches like him, coaches who expect a lot from their players. He is truly a man of great character and I feel priviliged to know him. Look at the stat sheet for that game....nearly everybody scored..... You can't tell your young players to not score....

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Floyd County beat James River 84 to 54 tonight... Floyd was only up 12 at beginning of the 4th....but James River was exhausted, ....Floyd's hectic pace wore them out....ended up winning by 30... IMO the 2 best teams in the Regiona C Tournament played today (Floyd and JR)....Floyd should have a cakewalk to the Region Championship....No offense to Grayson or Patrick Henry....but Floyd should win BIG.....
