Been saying same thing for years about Baker. One of the better coaches at Any level in the state of Virginia. Todd was a heck of player in his own right at Bluefield High and Bluefield State. He could flat out play. 

People talk about Grahams athletes in basketball. Thats great, but I dont know if Graham has had a basketball player truly over 6 foot 4 since the year of 1914. I've never seen them with height over the years. That means, you have to get kids to buy into absolute solid defense, and they do that. That is coaching.

Couldn't have said it any better. Va High has an 8th grader that's 6'6 and just watching the jv game on NFHS Graves looked like they were the same height, now it was hard to tell just watching it on the TV but he could be their 1st true big man

Any other games going on now? If so any scores?

TJ-Richmond 17

Central-Woodstock 8

End of 1st quarter 

Both teams are good quality teams.  Nothing overwhelming like JM had been.   Graham or Central-Wise should be able to hold their own.

TJ is a little more athletic amd has a couple guys who can penetrate and takenit to the rim. TJ looks more on par with Graham or Central Wise.

Estil Singleton 6'8".  Keith Latimer 6'6" and Nick Goodson 6'6" immediately come to mind.  I dont know further back then that

If you are the home team and you arrive on a team bus where are you coming from?  Do they drive the team around the building?

Central’s gym cannot seat much more than 1300. What a mess!

Central-Woodstocks gym is smaller... I think Graham Middles gym is bigger then that.

Call me old fashioned but the semis should be at bigger venue like UVA-Wise or other college gymnasiums for every class’s  matchups.

Nothing like last meeting. Largest lead with eight I believe, RV handled Bear press mostly well, RV was again great from three but not quite as potent as the region final. Witt was cold blooded but the Union team defense was lights out again. RV is very good, shame either team had to lose.
