You haven't raised 5 daughters who all played basketball. Sorry if I'm overboard with the girls post. I love watching them. Boys are far more athletic but girls play as a team so much better. It's a better team game to watch. IMO i usually catch a boys game once every two weeks or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girls-Hoops 14 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 34 minutes ago, champ said: I agree with the Abingdon statement however Galax beat Eastside last night. Eastside beat Union a couple weeks ago. Quite frankly I believe my honaker tigers can stay with Eastside this year. I've seen Eastside 2 times ang I think they are a good team. I think they will come out of the SW region. However after watching PM 2 games now I don't think Eastside comes within 20. Galax looked very good one of the games I saw them but I also think they will struggle against this PM team. PM doesn't belong in 1A. Rankings will changed weekly that's for sure. It's Basketball so things will happen that's not suppose to happen. I just figure ranking them will be fun. It will be fun to see how it turns out and how stupid I may end up looking Yes, I also think this is fun. It’s a challenge to see who knows the girls teams the best, and who is lucky enough to guess correctly. If Abingdon plays good team ball then I can’t see anyone in SWVA playing with them. They have experience, loads of talent, depth and size. From what I’ve seen from Galax they lack depth and consistency at this point in the season. They did lose to GW by 20. I don’t think Eastside will lose to them next time they play Eastside did beat Union. Although ES shot like 30+ more free throws than Union. 3 starters from Union fouled out and ES won by like 5. They play again in a couple weeks. I’d have to bet Union wins by +10. I agree It is possible for Honaker to upset ES. This is PM’s year, if they don’t win this year, there will be a lot of very disappointed PM fans, Just like all the GW fans from last year.

I think they looked pretty good but really mostly 1 player stood out. That's not gonna win against the best teams. I'm planning to go see them play Union next time around. I see where Eastside took 40 foul shots before and union fouled out 3 people ? That sounds a bit odd and one sided. I sit beside a ref for about a quarter yesterday at emory and Henry. Apparently he's done a lot of PM games and some summer games. He told me this summer at someone's team camp PM beat Abingdon by 20. Of Course that's team camp stuff and I'd bet not everyone played for either team. I would love to see some of these top schools from each division go at it. Could be a lot of fun to watch. Yes your not the only one talking about Galax depth or lack there of. I think that will hold them back. I'm very interested to see how they do next time out vs the george wythe girls. I understand george wythe is down but they beat Galax pretty bad a week or so ago. Looks like the way these teams are playing that the rankings may certainly change week to week. Lots of strange things happening on the school board right now happy new year SWVA enjoy your families take it from me they grow up quickly and fly away Girls-Hoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ 12 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I will add this when your playing the better teams vs the better teams many times it comes down to Coaching. The Galax girls are well coached and I will say I am very impressed with Pm Coaching staff. They are extremely displine and he seems to have the pulse of the team spot on. Ridgeview is well coached as well. Girls-Hoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to leave anyone out. I'm just stating some things I've noticed Floyd County is well coached as well. Years ago I knew his Dad well who was also a great coach. I think it's safe to say many of these top tier teams are very well coached. I actually was an assistant coach at a small college in PA for 7 years. I see opportunities for many of these highschool coaches to advance to a small college level if they so desire. To many jack and cokes tonight . Y'all take care we will talk basketball tomorrow.

You've never been to a Ridgeview game where most folks leave after the girls game. @champ Ridgeview lost twice last week in Kentucky, so to be fair, they probably don't belong in the top 3 at the moment. Very well could lose their third straight tomorrow night at Abingdon. Since Central won a tournament in Orlando, and Abingdon looks to be pretty dominant, I think they should be 1st and 2nd at the moment hands down.

Harlan County would be top 3 in 6A VA basketball, easy to say when you have 1 D1 signed girl and 2 Lower D1, Upper D2 supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Only change I would make is drop Galax and add Union. Galax beat Bland 34-31. Tazewell beat Bland by 32, Union beat Tazewell by 30+ twice already.

sixcat 2,922 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Galax played the Bland game without Shay Foxx and Essence Brown. With an already shocking lack of depth, losing the top two players on the team was noticeable. I agree they are young and inconsistent but I wouldn't base any opinion on the Bland game.

Sounds impressive to still get the win if that's the case. I still at this point believe them to be at the 10 spot did those kids have fouls or injury. I agree there's no way Galax can afford any injury with their current depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
