    In '09, Madison beat the Darren White lead DR team in the regional finals. However, the undefeated Mountaineers lost to DR in the state semi-finals to finish that year 28-1. If I remember correctly, DR overcame an 8 point deficit in the last 2 minutes to edge the Mounties. Madison ran the...

    Gate City

    I would like to see them play Madison Co. MC presses and plays fast as well. They are young. Couple of Freshmen start, great leadership in their junior class, and a solid sophomore off the bench. A couple of the kids on the JV team started the year on the Varsity but moved down. They should...

    So is Richlands the "Dream Team" you mentioned?

    High Fidelity: Dream Team? I know you are not speaking of Richlands...or maybe Graham? Yes MC is ranked in Top 10 but that does not matter. They are 17-2 with games v. William Monroe and top 10 George Mason to finish the regular season.

    Yeah, they were down 19 in the third quarter, cut it to one, took a brief one point lead, lost when Central (Woodstock) made FTs. Not a bad loss, Central has some talent. But a loss is a loss. I think MC is 16-2 now.

    Gate City

    Madison County is going to be a tough night for just about anybody they play. They are an uptempo team and like to run. However, they have shown the ability to adapt and play the half court game. They understand that defense is important and really get after teams. A short bench may be the...

    Madison 38. Clarke Co. 17 at halftime...

    It's a little early to talk of POY but I agree that Smith, along with #14 from George Mason, are the frontrunners at this point.

    Appomattox prediction for the year

    Clark has almost always been a basketball team made up of "football first" players. Emmart does a great job getting what he does with mostly football players. I would like to see what he could do with a team of "basketball first" players

    Ethical question

    There is no expectation of privacy at a public HS game. However, I would not post a video online of a game.

    Mason at Madison

    I will be very interested in watching Madison v. rival William Monroe tonight. Coming off their first loss, traveling to WM, hostile crowd, etc, should tell a lot about this team. You are correct in that Strasburg and Central are quality teams. If the parents (at least one of them anyway) at...

    Mason at Madison

    MC built a seven point lead midway through the 2nd quarter and actually looked like the better team. But Mason did what they do, and closed with a couple of threes to close the gap to one at half time. The refs called 10 fouls in the first QUARTER (6 on GM, 4 on MC). Seemed that everytime...

    BOYS BASKETBALL: Bull Run District Games

    Mason at Madison...the last two undefeated 2A teams in the state (both 13-0). Coach Capp is one of the best. Madison has a GREAT staff. Not sure MC can match Mason's depth but who knows? MC has a solid home court advantage. Should be another full house!

    Madison improves to 13-0...

    The George Mason game should give some idea of where the Mounties are. I saw Mason crush William Monroe last week. They kind of remind me of the 2009-2010 MC team that ran the table. Their second team is just about as good as their first five. If MC can keep it a game, maybe we are ahead of...
