pdfan 101 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 GW Carver's last graduating class was 88. Magna Vista won state over Charlottesville HS in 89. Jerome Preston was a big man, played qb at Carver and MV but went on to play D-line at Va Tech in college. Good teams in Henry Co in the 80's, Martinsville played in 6 or 7 state championship games winning 5, Dewey Mason won 3, Carver won 2 and MV won 1. Alot of good bball back then. go24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and I were talking about Coach Jim Young this week. He could really shoot the ball long after his playing days were over. Good man and definitely missed.

We play some golf together from time to time. https://christmasonmarsmovie.com/carroll-countys-ervin-enters-family-business-of-winning-high-school/ I read that and shared it with Dad on Friday. Dad says there has never been a better coach at RC than Kenny Wayne Ervin. 100 straight foul shots without a miss came easy to him apparently as well. He would occasionally show up at the Cove when I was in school if he was down from Wytheville I believe it was visiting. Everyone around my dads age loved seeing him and catching up. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play some golf with Jon ( Kenny’s son/Alyssa’s dad). Jon went to George Wythe a few years after I was at Carroll in the early to mid 90’s. The genes in that family are something else. Edit to add: Alyssa was the camp MVP in Chapel Hill last summer. Radford has already offered. NC State was at the game last Thursday to see her play. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder statesman 22 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Wise by 25+. Honaker had too many turnovers in their game and wise is much better with defensive pressure. It’s simply a different game at the 2A level. Just like Carroll county (3A champ) beats wise by 20+. Speed and depth increases with bigger schools.

Also have to remember the last game Honaker Played Ridgeview it was a close game And they played Marion at Marion about 10 days before Wise played Marion. They held Marion to 38 points and Wise gave up 55 points to Marion. So I’d bet it would be a good game between the 2 state champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Wise probably wins but honestly Honaker could play with them, esp in 2021. 2021 they likely win 1A and 2A. This year, with emergence of McAmis, Wise prob gets them but Tigers wouldn't go down easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elder statesman 22 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Wise wasn’t very good last year. From what I saw this season, Wise improved all season as their chemistry came together while Ridgeview really seemed to struggle after mid season. I did not watch Marion but I would assume those games simply come down to matchups. I just don’t see anyone on Honaker’s team that can slow down McCamis. Dotson really gets the most out of his talent. Even with healthy Vance I still don’t think it’s closer than 20. As for Carroll county, I saw them 4 times this year and they are legit. IMO Ervin is the best individual player in swva. They are also very deep with speed and talent. They will be favorites for 3A for next 2 years.

TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 11 hours ago, BigWinners said: Who wins: Wise v. Honaker (girls)? TWHS played both and its Wise central COMFORTABLE winning by 20 to 25 points. Wise central's guard play is too much for Honaker's pressure style defense to work (They rely on this). If needed I can expand more but its not close this year, last year maybe but not this year.

Not the basketball player necessarily, but running jumping strength etc. Last year’s Honaker team had a lot more speed overall-this year’s version is longer for sure.

Shes a notch above speed wise anyone I have seen comparing them to other ladies her age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girls-Hoops 14 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Athletically speaking McAmis and McClanahan are really close. McAmis is just a much better Offensive Basketball player. Both are outstanding young ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
