wave316 64 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 "Gate City should come out with much more confidence ...knowing they had Martinsville in a slug-fest..made their last free throw it would have been overtime. Momentum was in GC favor." I see it going the completely opposite way, but I sure hope I am wrong. All teams have bad games where on any given night almost any team could beat them. Graham can chalk up yesterday's game as one of those fluke, bad games. They now have it out of their system, and have something to prove today. GC played a pretty great game (except for the stretch MHS went on a 12-0 run), fought tooth & nail, and still lost. Got to be down. Don't have much to prove. Went toe-to-toe with the defending state champ and the state's #1 ranked AA team. Will be much harder to get motivated today. I disagree. The GC boys knew they were just a play away from beating the state champs of last year. They had the big guy Holland in foul trouble very very early and their game plan worked really good. They know they are as good as anyone in the region..Today they will come out to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks to futbolking and UVA fan for the mention of Graham's Wrestling Team in their posts. Wrestling is a sport that gets very little recognition and at best is an afterthought during the winter sports season. The G-Men Wrestlers have done very well at the 2A State Tournament over the past three years. 2014: 5th Place Team - Dylan Cook State Champion, Kyshon Lee 3rd, Hunter Cook 4th, & Jon Jennings 4th. 2015: 4th Place Team - Dylan Cook State Champion, Kyshon Lee 2nd, Jacob Lester 2nd. 2016: 5th Place Team - Jacob Lester State Champion, Alex Hicks 3rd, Tristen Evans 4th, Mason Raley 4th, Tracy Hagerman 6th. Over the last thirty years 65 Graham Wrestlers have qualified for the State Tournament and 20 have placed in the Top Eight. Good Luck to the Basketball Team as they play Gate City today!!!!! I am proud to celebrate excellence from my alma mater. :) If you'd go back 3 more years, you'd be able to include my uncle in that group!

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hoping for a good game from Graham and that their shots fall.... if not for the poor shooting, yesterdays game would have been much closer.... They always seem to have trouble putting the ball in the basket in the stadiums where the basket has space behind it....harder to shoot on. Listening to the game, sounds like another crack crew of refs in this one..... both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Clobbering one another and nothing being called....definitely another bunch of refs like in the Graham game yesterday. Graham is outrebounding GC....GCs legs look dead and they are playing flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
