    Boys State QF: Franklin 25 Lancaster 19 HT

    I'm sure the Lancaster players and coaches are going to agonize over this one for a while. They had 2 long scoring droughts. Had 17 empty third quarter possessions and sank less than 50 percent of their free throws on the night and were still within a point with 2 minutes to go. Give credit to...

    Yesterday's four-part juggling act (Strasburg, Essex, Graham, Grayson)

    About 40 years ago when I was a much younger man with much more determination, I was researching Northern Neck District boys basketball scores from the early to mid 1970s. Typical results would be 62-49, 58-54, 55-43. Some mismatches might end up like 82-53, etc. But, I noticed about half of...

    Did it end 7-6 Galax?

    I think what most everyone has either forgotten or were not aware of is that Essex played its last 3 games without its season-long rushing leader. He's a track and field sprinter whose per carry average was in double digits. I'm not saying he would've made a difference but he certainly could...

    Essex-Altavista

    Both Altavista and Essex should be in the mix again next season. Altavista has just 5 seniors and Essex just 7. Essex returns 9 on offense and I believe 6 on defense.

    Jaden Holmes?

    I don't believe it's a fracture but it is something with the hip. He was on the sideline walking without the aid of crutches or walker Saturday.
