24 Free Throws shot by one player is ridiculous... The 8 FTs in the 1Q were absurd. Really good player, doesn't need those calls but the word is out on her scoring prowess so she's getting the unwarranted calls as well.Too much Weaklley and Burill

Luray plays HARD. They have a 1000+ scorer as a Sophomore who is strong, composed, and just competes. They don't have much size but they generally run a soft zone and pack it in if needed. They make random 3 pointers that are ugly shots but have made enough to make me believe they are effective. They aren't deep but the do it all Sophomore averages 30+ a game. If the opposing kids aren't willing to flop or take a charge then she will continue to score at will.What's the skinny on Luray? Poquoson is playing them at Page County HS on Friday night....
Do you know much about Region A? The team records are abysmal. On that note, Region B Luray and Strasburg records are good but the competition is very average.What's the skinny on Luray? Poquoson is playing them at Page County HS on Friday night....

how would you handicap the field in 2A girls? The boogeyman, Wise, can't extend their streak this year so it seems wide open.

It's simple. Whoever wins the Union and GC/Floyd semifinal wins the title. Farther east you go in Virginia, the worse the girls teams get.

You can count them out. The one thing I know about SW VA is that they produce really good Guard play and that is lacking in Region B.I agree about SW VA being strong, but don't count out Luray/Strasburg.

Luray's guard play is what got them there,5-10 soph scoring over 30 a game ain't to shabby where ever you're from.You can count them out. The one thing I know about SW VA is that they produce really good Guard play and that is lacking in Region B.
Once again, the competition has been marginal. Ain’t no one player shooting 24 FTs in a state title game (which they could make).Luray's guard play is what got them there,5-10 soph scoring over 30 a game ain't to shabby where ever you're from.
Thank You.I don't have a dog in this fight but I will just point out the obvious.......neither Luray or Strasburg is THAT far east. By most standards, they would still be considered in the "western" part of Virginia...maybe Northwest, but certainly not east. I guess we will know soon enough who has the best teams in all divisions for both boys and girls. That is why they play the games.
She still had to make the shots,and people like you stir up this crap.Once again, the competition has been marginal. Ain’t no one player shooting 24 FTs in a state title game (which they could make).

Fake news the last 3/4 champs in 1a boys have been from the eastOver the last several years, it looks like the west has owned Classes 1 through 3, while the east has owned Classes 4 through 6...Princess Anne in Virginia Beach is the premiere program in the state, regardless of class.
Thank YouWhat I saw in the Luray/ Strasburg game. 1) Free throws/fouls called were legit. Strasburg failed to contain Weakley and force her left. She continued to reverse and penetrate the lane all night. She’s a very nice player but you have to square up and take away the drive.
Also Strasburg NEVER reversed the ball on offense to take advantage of their size and Luray’s overplay. At times in the 4th quarter Luray was actually triple teaming the post
all that aside, I can see both Region B teams advancing, IMO the Region is not that weak Should be two good games, wish I could catch at least one

ExactlyI don't think anyone claimed the refs were bailing out any team and calling bad fouls, only that in the state tourney, the games can be more physical and a little less tightly called so it's unlikely that against very good teams you'll see one player alone shooting that many FTs in a girls game.
Couple of potential jump balls were called fouls but I understood the calls. They looked like fouls but were smart plays by the defender.What I saw in the Luray/ Strasburg game. 1) Free throws/fouls called were legit. Strasburg failed to contain Weakley and force her left.

I just wanted to remind you of what you said about Strasburg and Luray......
To be fair he also said TJ stunk lol
I think I mentioned that Region B should not be overlooked. Always competitive on the girls side
Looks like I may be at that one next Tuesday
I hear ya......but felt Luray and Strasburg weren't getting their due respect due to SWVa girls dominance the past years..
Well the boogeyman is gone, Wise can't do it again this year but both GC and Union have played for state titles recently so no offense but hopefully the M7 can produce another champion lol. Interestingly enough, both GC and Union lost to other M7 teams in the state title game as Wise beat GC and Ridgeview beat Union
It wasn’t that long ago that East Rock girls ruled the roost on 2A. It’s not like only SWVA has ever won anything.
I watched Region B all year. I know what I saw.I just wanted to remind you of what you said about Strasburg and Luray......
