We need another Grayson Allen to even the terms. Lol I’ve been a Duke fan since late 80s and this is the softest team I’ve ever seen them have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has the capacity to hold the crowd to show up. I hear when they get to 1000, they are going to turn folks away. Should be interesting to see how Graham stacks up. Bluefield always fields a good basketball team and this year is no exception. Still seems like Graham isn't in basketball shape yet, from what I've watched. They play Bluefield again in a couple weeks, that might be a better indicator. Graham won 58-56 Gridiron60, Real Sasquatch and Graham32 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not just one, three in double digits tonight, Ray, Graham, & Fix; Relatively young team. That place was electrifying tonight. Great game! Don't quote me but I don't think Graham has beat Bluefield at actual BHS gymnasium since I was in school in the 80s. I will say the best player on the court for Bluefield was RJ Hairston , I think he accounted for 1/2 their points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 21 minutes ago, BigWinners said: Who’s their go to guy? Fix? Blake Graham and Marquel Ray are the go to guys for Graham, in my opinion. Ray is the leader on the floor, he dictates the offensive play, very good ball handler and decision maker, good defender with good hands, causes turnovers.. Blake can score and is very scrappy and plays good defense, can make steals and block shots. Fix contributes quite a bit for a freshman, but he along with G. Palmer (another freshman) and a few others all contribute about the same, good group of players that rotate in and out without any noticeable drop off.

cityofRaven 2,444 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 I really think the Beaver/Graham game tonight when it's all said and done will help both teams. Graham is young and talented but tonight's win shows them that they have some great potential. For Bluefield, I think this loss, right before a holiday break, will stew in them and show that they are beatable if they do not bring it for 32 minutes. Great job both teams, it was fun to be there, the 10th of January should be good as well. Ryan4VT, Gridiron60 and Real Sasquatch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, they had a great game plan last night. They took it right at Hairston and got a couple of fouls on him early so he couldn't be aggressive. Bluefield kept firing up threes, Graham kept getting easy bucket in close. Not sure Bluefield was ready to go up against a team that had as many good athletes as they have. Best high school game I've watched in a while. Gridiron60, cityofRaven, Real Sasquatch and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does she get it from her dad, but she get's it from her grandpa Kenny. Kenny is the real baller lol Kenny Wayne was my dads HS coach at Rye Cove. He still talks fondly of the person and coach he was. He follows Carroll on NFHS to keep up with his granddaughter. sixcat and gwloyal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have a fighter's chance in the 6th place bracket, however if they're playing a northeast Tennessee school, the refs will probably give benefit of the doubt calls to the Tennessee school. Just ask Twin Springs fans that these last couple of years. I'll have my crow served over easy. With BBQ sauce. Congratulations G-Dub on one of the biggest upsets in Arby's Classic history.

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted January 4 Carroll County is legit, good. They are 10-0 with impressive wins over some traditionally talented schools. 71-48 over East Wilkes NC 51-21 over Radford 71-52 over Narrows 91-61 over Alleghany 81-61 over Glenvar I thought Alleghany would be the main competition for the TRD crown. It looks like CC may just run away from everyone else in the district. CC also has only 3 seniors on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
