swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 So, I watched Twin Valley annihilate Ridgeview on Saturday by 20. Someone is going to have to explain to me how in the world we beat Wise Central by 18 since I wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBearsGo 142 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Can’t answer that but all I know is everyone wins when Central loses. swva_havok_fan, Gridiron60 and olewave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unchained 587 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Easy explanation. Boy's basketball in Wise County is bad (last team to win state? 1974 Powell Valley Vikings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think Union has the ability to be really good for the next couple years. They just havent quite pieced it together this year. Quite a bit of young talent. BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a traditional big but that group could be special. In two years, when Rasnick is a senior, Jones and the others will be juniors and sophomores and that team could make a lot of noise. back to RV/WC, apparently TJ was disappointed in his team, benched every starter but one, played him out of position, and when RV got up big, he brought back in the starters but they weren't as enthused and just got routed by a much less talented team. May not be true, just what I heard thru the grapevine. #BBN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I talked to someone who was there and he said that Ridgeview was just hot and shots were falling. I don't know man. It's still just unfathomable to me how we lost by 20 to Twin Valley, struggled to beat Rye Cove (no offense 1inStripes 😉 ) but beat Central by 18. I hope this victory motivates the boys and they come out firing on all cylinders tonight against the Devils. Shock the world twice in one week perhaps? Who knows? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly, Powell Valley, and Pound have all had their good seasons in basketball over the years. Eastside is still a very successful program.

Good relative to the local talent, which has historically been abysmal. Unchained 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those boys are talented and play hard, but most 14 year olds are going to struggle playing 25+ minutes a night at the varsity level. The first player off the bench is a freshman as well. Future is bright but this season is probably gonna have more downs than ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
