He may be a classy guy, but he's taken a team that either of the coaches from PV (Moore, Allen, or Gibson), the lady's coach from Norton, or Hobby Stuart would have undefeated right now and made them a hugely underachieving team....

If i came off trying to say this was the kids fault, i apologize. In fact, my concern was for the players of Appy. I just feel that Jervis is teaching them the wrong way. Take last year for instance, Appy walked away with all 3 trophies on PV's home court...but PV stayed out and watched the ceremonies. This year, he takes em to the locker room and delays things. If it had something to do with security, when they came back out to get their runner up trophy, why did he lead them off again? Pure and simple, he wanted to be an ass about things. Great way to teach your kids how to win or lose with class.

and with such a classy well thought out post like this, who could argue with you over the classless peons of poor appalachia, its a shame i have to drive through such a high class town like big stone every day and shame your walkways and golden gates with my ratty low class ways. im sorry that i recieved a horrible education and was the only person ever to get a perfect score on my virginia LPT. **** it must be hard having to look down on us with our ****ty jobs, our smartass attitudes, our trashy ways. i want to apologize on behalf of everyone in appalachia whose parents worked their self to death in the coal mines and their children couldnt afford to finish college. im sorry that i dont meet your standards of being a human being. maybe you can get your rich mommy and daddy to ship me back off to college. i have 84 credit hours and a 3.5 gpa it would be a nice gesture coming from someone as high and mighty as yourself. maybe then i wouldnt have to work my ass off 45-60 hours a week (when they let me) just to help my father who pretty much killed himself in the mines and my mother who is working herself to death now so my sister can have a better life. will you look down upon me from you high and mighty pedestal please sir? maybe thats why i have so many friends from big stone they all feel sorry for me that i am such a piece of trash?

A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
but an accurate weight is his delight.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace;
but wisdom is with the humble.

I used to thing Jervis tried hard with his players, but when PV and Appy played at PV on homecoming this season and it was time for the King and Queen of the court to be announced, Jervis brings his players out and sends them down the sidelines, with all the Appy fans hooting and hollering for their team as any other group of fans would...classless in my book....this just adds to it in my book.

Yeah, I thought those were metaphors for this thread. Glad somebody understood.

How far onto the court did you think PV's student section was going to move, after the game? They had a pretty good crowd and were still cheering, even after the game.
