    R.E.Lee...

    So why aren't there a lot of Martinsville fans boasting about their successes? Or a lot of Brunswick fans? Simple - they don't feel the need to boast and brag and, in doing so, make all those schools you named - and the others you didn't - feel "small". Maybe their egos are content to let...

    R.E.Lee...

    Evidently you should read some of the Lee fans posts here. It seems they have an almost incessant "NEED" to make comments on each and every game in which their teams participate - telling how "mightily" each team and player struggled to overcome adversity before, during, and after each and...

    R.E.Lee...

    But.......I wouldn't say they've had "so little success." I really hate to be misquoted - the statement was a "tongue-in-cheek" post about how much the Lee fans post about how good their players are when they don't play any really "stiff" competition until the playoffs start. I hope you will...

    R.E.Lee...

    Tell me this - you people have so little success that you have to brag about it all the time? I mean, I understand school spirit but this is beyond ridiculous!

    Martinsville vs Dan River

    The lack of motion is most likely the direct result of the players participating in AAU basketball - there's only one basketball so every one takes turns dribbling or shooting. And no one wants to truly "play" the game any more - all they want is the "stardom" from scoring 30 points. And the...

    Graham Fans Venue Question

    It's a question of "Who gets the money from the gate?" If they play at the Armory, Graham has to rent the site - in advance - and, since the VHSL gets the "lion's share" of the game's ticket receipts, it's likely that the G-men would wind-up losing money. And that's the truth!

    No 3-peat this year, but...

    I don't think the Leefans can help "getting their panties in a bunch" when you talk about their program - so good yet so far behind the real state champs!

    Finally they admit to it

    No, you won't. Someone from the VHSL will always say "We could do what everyone wants if Virginia was shaped like a square or a rectangle". They go for the "dollars" when choosing the regional and quarterfinal sites - not logic. And they simply don't care about the game site interfering with...

    Congratulations to the State Champion R.E.LEE Fighting Leemen!!

    Sort of like the "backhanded" negative remarks you have posted about Martinsville and some of the other teams that Lee has played over the years. And there was a time when Lee, as the 2nd-place team, left the floor before the presentation of the championship trophy. And let's be real here...

    Dawgs received a reality check

    Forcing opponents into making mistakes by using pressure defense is entirely different from a "run'n'gun" offense. I heard many opposing coaches ask how many players the 'Dogs had on the floor when they applied pressure "D" back in the day. It does require a deep bench and the coach's belief...

    Dawgs received a reality check

    If the 'Dogs become a "run/n/gun" team, I don't see them winning another state title. There is still no shot clock - thank the powers that be! - in high school so what's the need to get up and down the court in such a hurry? You may compete against the other team but you play against that...

    Dawgs received a reality check

    It also may have been a classic sign of overconfidence - "after all, we are the defending 2-A state champs? Right, guys?" No, not actually- this is a brand-new season where everyone starts off in a tie for first. I agree, sharkfan, let's get the VHSL to ban pre-game dunking again - as I...

    Dawgs bounce back!!!

    Definitely Coach Adkins taking control back - if you have talent, you also need focus.

    Dawgs received a reality check

    What you saw, Danville Sports Head, is certainly not typical Martinsville basketball. I would hope that the coaching staff would "gather the reins" but this may have been a question of reading some of the comments on here and not focusing on playing basketball. And, although I hope no one got...
