I think a "Judge This" with a suck it motion would suffice.

This triggered the following memory...  Richlands played basketball at VHS during the '82-'83 season.  The Bearcat student section fanned out along the first row of the (then) new gym and unfurled a long banner that read, "Blow Me, Tornadoes" replete with a naughty-looking rendition of our mascot.  It was enough to make our guys stop and laugh during the game.

Sorry if this violates terms of a family friendly board.  But I have to admit that I thought it was clever.  Perhaps the current generation of Bristol youngsters can come up with something snappy.

Holy crap, just watched John Marshall on nfhs. Wouldn't consider them a threat to score or prevent a score vs bottom tier Cumberland, hogo, mtn7, swd, or powder puff. 

Counted around 20 kids dressed/ playing.  Truly a shame for any school with the numbers they have not to put a little emphasis at all on football.  I get it,  they're 1000% a basketball school, but geez.

 

Vhs wins by 60, if the starters come out after the first quarter.

Will John Marshall travel to Bristol via the basketball team's recruiting airplane?

I say they forfeit tomorrow (Thursday).  They will claim illness and lack of players.

If JM forfeits does Fort play V. High? Probably not but just saying 2 teams not that far apart needing or maybe wanting to play a game.  Heck play it on Sat so each team has a chance to make plans.

If JM doesn't show, we will likely know by close of business today. Would have likely already cancelled by Wednesday if they were going to cancel. If no news by 3pm today, I suspect they are coming.
