John Marshall @ Virginia High

[V-Cats]

The Justices make the 320 mile journey to Bristol to take on the Bearcats

I don't think there is another intrastate matchup this year with a longer distance between two teams

These two played for the 2024 Class 2 boys basketball state title back in March (which of course JM won)

Luckily for Virginia High, Ty White doesn't coach football

Thoughts on the game? Will anyone from Richmond be coming?

Luckily he doesn’t recruit for football would be more appropriate 🤷‍♂️

Are you positive JM will show up. Believe it was last year they bailed on Riverheads.

 

[OCBoy]

They won’t even go. Virginia 2-0

This is awesome. Love this random and strange matchups that have no business taking place. I wish we could see more of these to be honest.

Wow, I wonder why this matchup was booked? Was JM desperate to fill a slot? In reality, it will be good for those city boys to see a part of the state that 99% have probably never seen. I wonder what their travel plans are? You just have to believe they are staying overnight? Or at least they have a charter bus? By the time they stop a couple of times, they will be hard pressed to make the trip one way in 6 hours. Assuming the bus leaves Bristol at 10:00PM, that puts them arriving in Richmond at 4:00 am? And we though a two hour trip was extreme!!!???

Must be a really good basketball player in Bristol…🤷‍♂️

It won't be close. V-High will win big. TJ may decide not to even make the trip. They could very possibly come up with an excuse at the last minute. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

LOL! Nah, he would already have an apartment in Richmond! They start recruiting by the first grade.

You meant to say JM, but what you say wouldn’t surprise me at all. And God help them trying to find opponents next year if they do drop out. Not much going for them already. They rarely win more than two games a season, so next to no rider points. Their reliability is questionable. They present no challenge for virtually any opponents. And lets face it, the way they recruit so they can trounce any and all teams in basketball doesn’t make them any friends.
