It was Doug, Ike, and Mark Sturgill at Appy. Dax missed a shot to tie/win the game at the buzzer in the lpd tourney. It was def TJ's team because that was when he was fat and everyone got in trouble for yelling fat boy everytime he touched the ball.

Btw unchained, I talked to Bright tonight, he has lost 2 times in softball to Kelly and 3 times in volleyball. The three in volleyball were all this past season so hes lost the last 3 to them. He prides himself in beating Kelly, he understands the rivalry alot. He was actually Burton's point guard on the team with Schrader and Gravely. Back then guys like him were the 4th and 5th option and could still be the man to beat ya. All of those guys back then could beat ya, the bench warmers were better than 99% of the starters on teams today.

id like to see the basketball and baseball conferences be divided up like they are in football. Imagine how many titles teams like Burton, T.S., and Pound could have won.

gc would have about 8 titles in bball if that were the case

no they wouldnt either, Region A and B were just ridiculous back then. Fluvanna, Suffolk, and GW Carver would just rip teams to shreds. Carver became Magna Vista and I realize GC did beat them, but year end year out those teams on that end of the state were just destroying teams from this area. That is when this area was at their peak talent wise also.

i know for fact the years we went to the final four 3 out of 4 years we wouldve won all those...all the other schools wouldve been division 4

He right mega. In the late 90s, GC was in the state tourny around 4 or 5 times. Of course about all of those teams they faced (like Salem in the 99 finals) were almost double the size of GC.

Im not talking about the late 90s, hell single A in the late 90s was a joke, I played in the late 90s and council and haysi were as good as any team up state. Im talking about the late 80s/early 90s. Fluvanna would have blasted gate city, they had numerous D1 players on their team.

**1inStripes** · January 10th, 2006, 10:15 AM

I thought Fluvanna was single A though? How would they have figured into the mix with GC?

By the way, what in the heck is a Flying Fluco anyway?! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

They were(still might be). GC(I thought) was saying that had GC been in single A back then, then they would have several state titles. That may be true in the late 90s, but definitely not in the 80s and early 90s. Those guys had 5 Reecie Gravelys on their team.

Not to sound racist, but when you go up to state for basketball now, you get a chance to play a group of white guys for the title, it was the exact opposite end of the spectrum back then and the scores looked horrible. Fluvanna beat Gravely and Schrader's squad by over 30 and didnt give up more than 30. Thats when they played all 3 rounds of state at UVA and played AA at UVA too. You had like 16 games in 3 days, it was an awesome setting for the high school fans.

I have no idea what a fluco is, but those kids were flying around and dunking on everyone, so I have an idea where the "flying" part came from. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I remember RC girls going to the final four in 94 and Fluvanna girls warming up after words, but it may have been for AA. I was thinking they were A as well.

In 89 I believe RC went to the final four in mens and got blasted by Cumberland. RC had a real team, but I think it was 60+ to 9 at halftime. Just unreal.

Went and checked. Fluvanna is AA: Fluvanna County 1084
