This on the heels of GW winning the Gatlinburg tournament last week. Dorman is the biggest of the 18 schools in the Arby's Classic with over 4000 students and GW is the smallest with 460 students
Only the second win ever for a 1A VA team, first since Council in late 90s. Honestly one of the biggest wins I’ve ever hears in West basketball in my adult life. What a showstopper.
I remember that Council team with Brad Nuckles. I first saw him play as a sophomore and they lost to New Kent in the state championship game in 2000. The next year they won it all. They were a Hoosiers like story with only a little over 100 in the high school
It was a fantastic story. Knuckles and Rasnake were one helluva one-two punch. Not many 6’10 kids had the stroke Brad Knuckles had in the early 2000s, went on to have a very good career at ETSU.
Not me. I had them #1 in my rankings too
I definitely wouldn't count out Franklin, Brunswick or Altavista in Region B. In Region C, Auburn is always tough and Narrows has one of the best players in the state.
GW was up by 6 with 45 seconds to go. Mentor is a powerhouse and found a way, but GW had them on the ropes
I haven’t seen the clip, was the last bucket before the buzzer? I read someone way they thought it may have been late. Either way, a truly exceptional showing for GW, fairing better than any NE TN team with 2,000 or so students.
