Not sure who Graham or Central would match up better with....Nelson or Floyd.  Nelson has a height advantage, but Floyd plays better defense and has some good shooters.  

Central matches up better with Floyd, but obviously they’ll want to win and have a home game against Nelson. 
Central had a 61-52 loss to Floyd and a 66-58 loss to Nelson. 
Just my personal opinion.

I think if the top of the 1-3-1 would have been switched lets just say vs Honaker and the same result it would be more understandable. y two cent sit was a distasteful display of sportsmanship and a lack of respect. What if The lowe kid from honaker last year would have thrown 15 td passes vs maybe TV what would have been said?

Should be some dandy games to watch, including Graham vs. Central today.

So then Graham would then.

I’d have been all for it. If for some way TV would have made the playoffs then so be it. There have been numerous teams in Cumberland and hogo that are playoff level teams that have had to sit at the house because those teams get automatic three bids to playoffs. Why should PH respect a team that has no business being on the same floor as them, because of events that happened that were 5-10 years before these kids were even born? There was no such outcry when PH put up 99 on a winless Honaker team the year after they went to the state semis

I think it depends on how the officiating goes. 
In the Graham & GC game that crew let the boys play to the extent. In the Union & Central game your shoes squeaked the wrong way and it was a foul. 
If the refs today officiate a loose game Graham handles them. Central doesn’t like to be bullied and pushed around, they collapse. Graham is a very athletic well rounded team.

I watched this game.  This may be the slowest Central team I have seen in some time, Union beat them down the floor all game. The officiating was terrible on both sides.  Early on, Dotson was in their ears prompting a lot of early fouls on Union.  It was very one sided, then they tried to even it up which put one of the Central girls in foul trouble.  I think they called 3 offensive fouls throughout the game on Witt, 2 of which were bad calls and made from officials in front of Dotson, hmmm....  Dotson did give up in the 4th at some point and basically quit coaching.  Union was the better overall team.  Both teams are young and should battle again next year for the title.

Overall, this may be the weakest ladies' M7 (and SWVA in general) I have seen in at least a decade.  There are some strong individuals such as Witt and Trivette but the overall starting 5's and depth is down from previous years.  What does that say for the SWD when they still got swept in the playoffs.  GW looks to own single A on this side of Roanoke.  Honaker and Grundy are good but just not at that level of intensity.  Not sure anyone else has great odds at a state title this season.

I have said for weeks the M7 in girls is as "down" as I have seen it. Having said that, they may still win another state title, because the gap between the M7 and the rest of the state has been as wide as the Mississippi. Abingdon is playing for a 3A Region Championship tonight as well.

And Abingdon won the 3A Region championship today.  Staunton River is good. Trivette controlled the paint and they pulled it out.

Well of course...most of the m7 schools are in that area to get good transfers. What would abingdon be without Trivette? Only school getting transfers in swd is graham. And u see how thats going.

I think that script has flipped with Bluefield & Princeton trying to get Graham players 😂

Pot meet kettle.  Richlands used to benefit rather well from the transfer pool if I remember correctly.  Transfers have been around as long as I have.  Gate City pulls from Tennessee, Wise gets girls from all around, PH has had big benefits with a couple of brothers from Holston lately.  Talent wants to go to a team that wins and gets them recognition.  The VHSL made it even more abundant by allowing the likes of John Marshall and Liberty Christian to recruit powerhouses without any repercussions.

Exactly..I never said richlands never benefitted. They absolutely did. But they're not in an area to get that consistently as its obviously apparent.

That's why I just get tired of hearing how M7 is so dominant over swd.  Well 90 percent of the time its gonna be that way. Location location location right?

The absolute worst officials I’ve seen.  Then centrals coach   Shew!! Every time and I mean every time down the floor he complains it’s ridiculous!!   Barry Yost took over that game 

Yeah, their coach is ridiculous.  Officials were very inconsistent for sure.  I hope Graham gets another crack at them.  Are officials neutral from this point forward?

Gage Palmer got in foul trouble and Central had some easy inside baskets.   Couple of the fouls on Palmer were very ticky tack....good luck to both teams and hoping for another rematch 

I would have expected it to be much closer even a buzzer beater. Foul trouble & not having big man are their Achilles heal but hopefully they can win at Floyd. Dameron is a piece of work. I’d like to see a rematch and GMen figure out how to win.
