Misleading final score....
 
It appears that Graham woke up Gate City last week!

Watch out!
 
"No question about it, give the Devil's their due, it may be safe to bet that they are better than you."

It speaks exactly to why Div 1 players are Div 1 players. There's a difference when 2 are on the floor and having 2 in High School Ball at the AA level matters. Great win for GC. I had Radford winning it close and going on to win the title. As for Graham waking GC up. I think that's partially true, but again.....it begs the question......just how good is Graham? If I were not a Graham fan (rooting for Lee myself) then I would hope it was a case of Graham waking up GC last week instead of Graham simply being that good. I suspect it's a little of both.

I agree. GC played terrible against Graham but some of that was due to Graham. If they get by Martinsville tomorrow where will the game be played?
 
According to our fearless leader - Matthew Hatfield - Mac McClung would need 60 points over the final 2 games for Gate City to break Caleb Tanner's VHSL career scoring record.

So it's STILL possible...
 
And meanwhile...the DAWGS are just sitting back and watching everyone talk about everyone but THEM........:)
