pdfan Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ryan, the Martinsville AD texted this afternoon and said The Mavahi-Graham game would be played at UVa-Wise as part of a quadruple header with the lady Dogs playing Central the first game then Eastside girls and boys playing next then Dogs-GMen in the nitecap. Just got the text little over a hour ago. On Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gate City still wins, but you’d have to give Radford a puncher’s chance, especially how they defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely false. GC lined up and shook hands to congratulate Graham and then they got their trophy. What they didn't do was pose for a team picture like the other teams had done in the previous games. To me, there isn't anything wrong with that because that's not the trophy they are seeking. Yea winning the region would be great but luckily it doesn't mean you can't still win the state. Blue Cannonball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, especially since they’re sending graham a couple hours away to “host” Martinsville... who will have both boys and girls (who both lost in the region championship btw) playing there so they should have a ton of fan support there.

Martinsville will be lucky to have a couple of 100 people there. The last time they came to Wise was 2 years ago with a team who eventually won the state championship and I bet they didn't have but about 200 people from here. Just don't travel like they used to.

I think this will be a good game, 2 very good teams. Radford does play good defense,,they go 10 deep and keep rotating players. But, they are very athletic, they can run with anybody. That's just not Cormanys thing. He emphasizes defense, no defense - you sit. Radford doesnt score as many points as Gate City, but they could. Radford chooses to have efficient possessions and control tempo. With the point gaurd,(Morton-Robertson) they can play as slow or fast as they like. You won't get the ball. Radford will shows how athletic they are, when there is a scramble for a loose ball ( Radford generates a lot of loose balls). They win most of those battles score on a fast break, then slow it back down and run a very dicliplined offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unchained Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 SWVA boys basketball has been mediocre for decades. The M7 is weak as water on the boys side,and it bears out when the 1 horse race that the M7 is loses come state tourney time. The truth offends and hurts,people get defensive with it,want to live in denial about it,but running roughshod over lesser opposition kills GC come crunch time. Compare the number of state titles in boy's basketball to the schools outside of SWVA if you are stupid enough to try to argue it. The girls for 20 years have badly outperformed the boys. The girls have placed state championship trophies in the trophy case while the boys remain empty (think Central is something like 168-26 since consolidation?) The poor old LPD hadn't seen a state champ in boys since the 1974 PV squad (how sad is that?). Year after year in the M7 girls,one of the FOUR perennial state powers in this conference (Central,Ridgeview,Gate City -who lost to Central in an all M7 state title tilt),and now Abingdon is a force to be reckoned with and a serious state title threat. That doesn't happen on the boys side,so pardon me if I laugh when somebody thumps chest about beating a M7 boys team (or any boys team from SWVA for that matter. None are juggernauts,so you stand corrected if you feel it's an "obligatory" post. What it is is a factual one:). "Wait till football season (the "obligatory" battle cry of SWVA boys basketball) Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They win most of those battles score on a fast break, then slow it back down and run a very dicliplined offense. I have attended three Radford games this season. All three games they struggled to contain length. Wes Ayers from Grayson and twice against Adam Horton from Carroll. In all honesty, Carroll should have won both games against Radford. They led the vast majority of both games. I agree Radford will defend and keep the game close but I think they will struggle again with the length of McClung and Ervin. I'm not a fan of either program. This is just my honest, unbiased observation after seeing both teams play on several occasions.
