BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Author Report Share Posted March 2 Bruton keeps it within 50. Final Score in Class 2 East. John Marshall 92, Bruton 42, and its sad because Bruton has a really, really good Class 2 basketball team that would win the state title (this year) on most years in Virginia's Class 2 if John Marshall weren't in the mix.

At least Lancaster v Auburn will be a great game. VHS should be super proud tho, incredible season by those kids and in another scenario they could win a state title. But as long as JM is in the 2A bracket no one else will ever win a title. BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,444 Report Share Posted March 2 What if VA High protested playing JM and didn't go the Richmond? FootballFan67, TheDuke and Cousin_Hoyt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time for VH in state title since 1960 and the mentality will be....this is for our town, our school, our players, our fans, our alums, we aren't taking this game from them and holding back this opportunity. Again, I understand that and respect that. I think Graham was the youngest team in Region D, so I was kind of hoping Graham would win so they could go and get it over with, then have the great chance to return next year....and then......there's the possibility of them not playing two years in a row. As long as the West keeps rotating with different teams each year....be it Gate City, Radford, Virginia High, and then next year possibly Gaham, Union, Gretna....it will never happen. I am rooting for Va High to win the west next year in Hoops. Maybe....if they win the west again....we could see something happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Author Report Share Posted March 2 I think Central has a shot at JM's girls I favor JM, but Central might be able to win that game if they bring their A game and JM brings it's B- or C+ game. The difference isn't so great yet that Central doesn't have a shot. They do, but they will have to play lights out. Auburn and Lancaster could be a classic. Same for Eastside and Brunswick. Auburn's boys look like the Hickory Hoosiers out there. Just unbelievable coaching. Guys cutting to the basket, perfect passes, perfect off the ball position by it's players on both offense and defense. They are just absolutely fun to watch if you just want basketball 101. They have their hands full though. Lancaster also has ties to AAU basketball- Virginia Elite. They aren't John Marshall, but their Coach Dwayne Pinn has ties to Virginia Elite out of Fredericksburg. It might be a Lancaster assistant that is also an assistant at Virginia Elite, I am not certain, but there is a connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelley 57 Report Share Posted March 2 No dog in the race but at the end of the Graham and v high game how was that not a foul? Blake Graham was tripped by a Virginia High player laying on the ground? Don’t know how the rule works when there is contact when someone is already on the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcats 8 Report Share Posted March 2 I want to say this I bleed orange and black, you best believe I'm happy for va high get a chance to maybe play some NBA talent, but my heart hurts for the Graham kids, they fought all night long and seeing some of their kids breaking down at the end of the game at that moment you realize there's no true winner or loser. Myself along with several other Bearcat fans spoke with the Graham kids and tried lifting them up. I see no va high/Graham rivalry I believe both sides became family tonight, hats off to Graham reading what coach Baker said after the region championship saying he's so proud of his kids from what they were the beginning of the season to where they're are now he's proud, hats off to va high losing 4 starters trying to find themselves at the beginning of the season losing by a million to dobyns Bennett, losing by a million to TN High multiple times, then losing to wise central all early then they started to find themselves then boom Ethan Carpenter goes down so now all 5 are new starters what can you say. Now va high is playing with house money let's keep it within 80 and congrats to John Marshall on another 2a state title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie Bound 107 Report Share Posted March 2 11 hours ago, BigWinners said: Honaker boys score? Auburn won by 10-15. Honaker led early but Auburn fought back. Two solid basketball teams and both being well coached but one official made some very questionable calls against Honaker which I thought had a lot to do in determining the outcome. No dog in the fight but I have always said a good official goes unnoticed during the game but that was not the case last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Author Report Share Posted March 2 The difference in the game was Auburn's ability to adjust offensively. After the 1st quarter, notice the spacing and cutting and passing by Auburn and offensive sets they would start in for a halfcourt set. It was DIFFERENT. That's coaching. Auburn's coach will adjust on a dime if sees something that he feels will be favorable and his decision is usually favorable. All coaches or most coaches make adjustments and try things and sometimes it works out well and sometimes it doesn't. Auburn's Coach seems to adjust just a little quicker than 99% of his peers and his decisions made with adjustments seem to turn out to be the correct one's a much higher rate than 99% of his peers. With all that written, Honaker is a also a well coached team and they looked pretty darn good out there also. Hokie Bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of halftime auburn had a 7 point lead and stretched it to 12 points for the final. I do kinda agree that the calls one of the officials made was a bit of a difference maker. Calling 4 charges on Keene that were very questionable made him sit. That’s their leading scorer and biggest player and I do feel like he would have altered some of the shots auburn got Hokie Bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game no matter who wins you can count on the losing team and/or fan base complaing about the refs...and this goes for every level. Guess it's the easiest excuse...and they seem to never see a call that goes their way...just the 1 or 2 bad calls that go against them. News flash people refs are human they will make mistakes...geez it just amazes me some fans Fan and sixcat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what’s made them a dynasty in Class 1 basketball over the past decade. They are terrific at taking away your strengths and capitalizing from your tendencies. I’d bet money Millirons can describe in great detail, what he picked up on film to expose Keene the way he did. Auburn always starts slow. Once they feel out their opponent, they make small adjustments and take advantage of what the opponent is doing. Coaching matters and Auburn has the best in this state.
