Jason Horton went to UNC Asheville and Jason Haynes went to Coastal Carolina. Horton couldn't even get on the floor, and yes the reason he got to Asheville was because he was 7'3". Plus you had Houseright and Beasley being D1 football players. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that's where they came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 @Widespread_Panic @1inStripes Were Shoemaker and Josh Warren (PV) at Wake during the same time? And did Shoemaker play with Tim Duncan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay gotcha thanks. Warren would have gotten there in 99, he graduated in 98 IIRC. Shoemaker missed playing with the greatest PF and a top 10 all time player by a year. That would have been a helluva conversation starter, "I got to play college ball with Tim Duncan". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 The two most well known players who were teammates with Shoe at Wake were probably Darius Songalia and Josh Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantheman 52 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 one player that hasn't been mentioned is duffy gilmore, played at ervinton and haysi, he is the best player to play in this area, his off court issues were the reason you haven't heard of him or he didn't go anywhere, this kid was a pure trouble maker, i saw him put up 50 on oak hill at clinchco in the early 90's and he was basically playing 1 on 5, very easily could have played in the NBA cowboysnskynyrd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone posts any topic on any sport someone from Powell Valley always comes on here and claims that the discussion begins and ends in Big Stone Gap. These people are then shocked to find out there are other people outside of BSG that actually play sports and by how many other people are better than they are! swva_havok_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWilson 2 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 One terrific basketball player to come out of Southwest Virginia was the recently deceased Gregg Belcher of Chilhowie. Played at Carson-Newman and also at ETSU, although I'm not sure how he did. But in high school, he was silk. Missed 2,000 points by just a few. Also, Ronnie Edwards of Graham (Virginia Tech) and Calvin Cockrell of Tazewell (LMU) -- both the class of 1975 -- were outstanding.... Edwards because of his game, Cockrell because of his physical gifts. And let's not forget Clarence Hanley of Marion, a 6-10 pure shooter who played four years at ODU. And the late Mike Keith, a fabulous athlete from Rich Valley who gained most of his fame on the gridiron. In recent years there is the three-headed 2,000-point machine at Gate City -- McClung, Zac Ervin and Bradley Dean.

However, saying someone will make the NBA is a huge leap. Of the major pro sports in America Id say the NBA is the hardest to get into. Just because their aren’t a lot of roster spaces.
