SWVA all-star basketball game

From the Bristol Herald-Courier...

The second annual Southwest Virginia boys basketball All-Star game is set for Saturday at Castlewood High School.

A girls game will be held at 6 p.m., followed by the boys contest. A slam dunk contest and 3-point shootout is also on the docket.

In the boys game, the White team will be coached by John McCrary of Twin Springs and team members are Tennis Simon (George Wythe), Patrick Fisher (Castlewood), Gary Stafford (Lee High), Ryan Padgett (St. Paul), Cody Hall (Twin Springs), Ben Mulkey (Richlands), Zach Roberts (Northwood), Devin Brickey (Appalachia), Jacob Caudill (J.I. Burton), Devin Rasnake (J.J. Kelly), Daniel Williams (St. Paul) and Tyler Estepp (Twin Springs).

The Blue Team will be coached by Scott Vermillion of Gate City. Ethan Mills (George Wythe), Jamie Hackney (Gate City), Cody Salyer (Gate City), Brandon Davis (George Wythe), Kasey Marion (Virginia High), Evan Vanover (Clintwood), Bud Allen (Appalachia), Chris Smith (Castlewood), Cody Yates (Haysi), Pat Begley (J.I. Burton), Matt Bays (Gate City) and Jordon Polk (Chilhowie) will comprise the team's roster.

I wonder what girls players are going to be playing.

Nothing of mention about the girls game in the newspaper. I would expect several of the LPD players to participate.

I'm kind of surprised that Tihlee isn't playing in the boys game.

This is for seniors only. That is why he isn't in there.

Ah I didn't realize it was seniors-only. Makes sense.

Kayla Balthis- Pound
Kaite Lane- Twin Springs
Samantha Horner- Gate City
Ashley Cvetnich- Clintwood
Whitney McConnell- Twin Springs
Kalen Collins- JJ Kelly
Sam Brummette- JJ Kelly
Ashley Hunter- JI Burton
Lindsey Hall- St. Paul
Cara Copeland- Lee High
Rachel Wynn- Lee High
Brette Harding- Powell Valley

There would have been more but do to proms, softball tournaments, and senior trips there will just be 12 girls.

wonder why Kristin Mullins is not playing??

Did they just divide them up to try to make pretty evenly talented teams?? Guys from the same school playin on different teams???

yes. try and make the games competitive. like i posted...kristin mullins is on a senior trip.

I think Ill go with the Fisher/Simon team as the favorite

I wonder which team stewart wouldve been on if he wanted to play....looks like its gonna be some good bball ill definitely be there

kristin will be back tonite as will evan vanover

then she should have played.

"SWVA all-star basketball game" is an oxymoron...all-star bb doesn't happen here.

then don't attend. its for the senior athletes.

exactly.... i think the white team will win also

Would her having signed have something to do with not playing?

Yeah, having some All State and Region players plus the Group A POY is a pretty shabby bunch isn't it.

So the action starts at 6 tonight at CW?...does anybody know the price of admission?

Decent game, it was close at times but when i left the white team was ahead by 20...Tennis Simon from GW won the dunk contest, Jamie hackney the 3 pt contest and the girls game was pretty boring..Ashley Hunter from JIB won the girls 3 pt contest


Those players from GW were impressive, see why they won state now

good game.. stafford from lee put on a show .. simon also played very good.. and so did hall from twin springs and fisher from castlewood

Stafford did play very good, all of the players from GW were great...

GW's Simon leads team to All-Star win

Looks like Evan Vanover from Clintwood had a good game, finished with 17 pts.

Two of the boy's from GW look very good. Mill's turned the ball over more time than he scored; which ten or eleven!!

Evan Vanover proved he could play with the big boy's!!

I wasn't at the tournment in Norton (FCA) but I understand he had 26 pts and was co MVP with Stafford from Lee.

yes he did have 26 at the game at norton also.

is he playing ball anywhere? i know stafford and hack are going to emory

no..i dont reckon anybody recruited him..
