Same here brother. Dawgs will be a huge task but I believe if DR wins Friday then they also take Radford.I believe DR will take this one. I'm not sure how Martinsville's depth is and with their big guy going down I think that will be the difference. I'll also go ahead and let it be known that DR will also win Saturday!! Radford has been anointed king for Region C from day 1 but they will get a true welcoming party to 2a on Saturday. If I'm wrong though, oh well won't be the first time.
Yeah it's going to be a real uphill battle. Dogs are going to be going " bear hunting with a swich" as my grandpa used to say. Hope we can stay within 25.
The game being played at Magna Vista is very fortunate for Dan River. It's hard to win in the Martinsville Middle School gym. It's intimidating to kids. The banners, the fans yelling and screaming at you, and the bleachers are so close to the court. Very tough place to play. Dan River lucked out! Dawgs won't be blown out, don't care if they start 3 4th graders from Albert Harris.
Mamba what do you think of DR this year? I haven't seen any of the local teams play this season. Looks to me that Bryson McLaughlin has upped his game. I see where he’s walking on to play football at Virginia Tech.Whoever wins this game will beat Radford on Saturday. I can tell you talking to some people. There is fear from the Wildcats about playing the DAWGS. Anyway I pick Martinsville to win if their post player is healthy to play. If not Dan River by 7-10 points and then they beat Radford by 15+
Y’all will have another Beamer soon. May be the best Beamer yet...SCARY to think!Gosh DSH, you get blasted when you brag on your team and tell everybody how good they are, then you get called out if you undersell them and build up their opponent. Durn you cant win. Oh and we got some pretty good 4th graders from Albert Harris who could help us, but they won't let them use the 8 ft goals we play with on Sat mornings

i think they were clearly the best team around here locally wasn’t much going to compete with them but Martinsville plays there kyrptonite 2-3 zone and they play it very well. Dan river also has a problem staying in front of quick guards. They reach a lot and refs don’t call their reach-ins around here. Catch them on a bad shooting night and they can be beat. Bryson has a lot of energy and plays hard and well just playing out of position. A true post player could expose him. But there are none of those in 2A basketballMamba what do you think of DR this year? I haven't seen any of the local teams play this season. Looks to me that Bryson McLaughlin has upped his game.

Bryson wasn’t aggressive last year. I’m happy to see him toughen up. Got a chance to ball with him last summer and he’s on his way. Great kid. I’m expecting a good one. Whoever wins beats Radford by double digits.i think they were clearly the best team around here locally wasn’t much going to compete with them but Martinsville plays there kyrptonite 2-3 zone and they play it very well.

Shaquan Beamer was my favorite player growing up. Dude was Michael Jordan to me. Saw him and his boy on Star News a while back. That kid is going to be special if he’s anything like his daddy, granddaddy and uncle.Man, you live in Richmond and know about him already?? That kid is only in the 4th grade.
So how is the state tournament set up? The loser of this game is done? That sucks, shame that a lesser region sends two teams that aren't as good as Radford/DR/MHS while one of those is sent home. Region D has two great teams, Region C has three, I know of one in Region B, what about A?
But doesn't that happen in cycles it seems?
Just so happens that C/D is loaded this particular season - and it's unfortunate that this does happen.
In a perfect world, I wish they could 'somehow' SEED the teams come tournament time - but I know that's asking a lot.
It’s always like that in the city of Martinsville and Danville. If only the Danville boys took the same pride that the boys in Martinsville take, we’d have quite of few championships.DSH, little Beamer is a "playa". He and about for or five more are making the future look pretty bright for the Dogs. The Saturday morning youth league is something to watch. Gym is packed, 8 games each Sat, 2 games going on at a time. If you think the Doghouse rocks on Friday night's you ought to see it on Sat mornings. Guess that's why the Dogs are competitive year in and year out
Neither team will take Radford lightly. Whoever Radford gets Saturday night will be the best team they've played all year hands down.Don't sell Radford short !

@MascotMemorizer @Chuck Vipperman (GW) do you know if WBTM is covering the Martinsville/Dan River game? You may also want to check the BTW21 Facebook page. They do a great job of showing live games.Anybody know of a radio broadcast for this game?
