Anyone going? I'm headed out tomorrow. We usually check out the hoops, baseball, and softball games. I can't even remember who is playing from SWVA. Maybe I can get a photo with one of the Vick's this year. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Perhaps they're parking cars. Or giving handjobs for crack.
I am not suprised the west wont win too many games. In football the west has 11 single A players the east 6 2 from Gretna and 2 from Goochland. The AAA coaches will not send players because they do not like the way Mike Smith runs the games and how much money HE makes off of it.

You mean Mike Smith makes money of that thing? Really? I thought he did it just to showcase the Commonwealth's talent. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] I heard he makes a bundle.

The East and West finished up with 4 victories each after the All-Star week. West took both basketball games, baseball, and the football game. The East swept the soccer games, volleyball, and won the softball game.
The West edged the East in football, 7-0, Friday night. Powell Valley's Cedric Mitchell (Grossmont Junior College) connected with Amherst County's Derrick McCoy (Va Tech) for the game's only score, on a 17 yard touchdown pass in the 2nd qt. Burton's Ethan Stewart, Richlands' Austin Fuller (Va Tech) and Lebanon's Richard Lockridge (Davidson) also said to have played well.

The West won the baseball game 7-6. Kelly's Cody Bentley (ETSU), who started at 2nd, was 1-4 with an RBI single off of York's Will Lamb (Clemson). Richlands' Jordan Barnett (Limestone College) pitched from the 7th on, earning the save, giving up 1 run on 3 hits, striking out 6. Honaker's Logan Ball earned a spot on the roster after Hidden Valley's Mikey O'Brien signed with the Yankees. Ball played two innings in right field while lining out to short in his only at-bat.

Richlands' Jenny Keene the only other area player struck out in both at-bats. Va Tech-bound Abbie Rexrode (James River) came on in the 5th and pitched the remainder of the game, giving up 3 hits, 4 unearned runs, with 6K's.

I'll say this--if Cedric Mitchell goes to Grossmont JC and gets his stuff together (head & athleticism catches up with each other), then he could go to a college somewhere and play very well. He's got tons of potential--it's up to him to go Juco and get things going in the right direction.
He'll get to go against some high-level talent--I know for one team that they play against, El Camino CC, has had some players off both sides of the ball go to D1 schools the past few years, including a senior for Miami this season, WR Kayne Farqhuarson.
All praise be due to the West.
Way to go guys, I love the fact that we won the @#$% football game especially. Way to go guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that Cedric is a special talent, but it's sad at how many times over the years have we have said that about a kid and the talent goes unused and unrealized.
Prove me wrong Cedric, go to Juco and get those grades right and let us read about you making it somewhere even if it's for the Wyoming Cowboys or the other side of no where....who cares just use what God has given ya.
P.S.
Great job at the all-star game.
Has the West ever won the football game?
it has been a while, I can't really remember it happening.
They won it most recently in '03 (34-26) and in '04 (34-7). This win gives the West a 19-17 lead in the series since it started in '72.
The mens basketball season has been the hardest to win. That was the first win in 20 or so years I believe.
According to the VHSCAINC website the West won in '04 and last year, but those had been the only since '90, so that was a pretty good stretch for the East. I was kind of curious so while I was on there I looked up some of the series records for each sport.
Football:
West 19-17 (West had a good stretch from '81-'95 in which they won 12 of 15. East had won 9 of the last 13 games).
Boys Basketball: East leads 27-10
(West has won 3 of the last 5 games. The West took the first 3 games of the series but then only won 4 games from '75 until '03).
Girls Basketball: West leads 18-11
(The East took 4 of the first 6 games then only won 4 from '86-'04. East had won the previous 3 games before this year though).
Baseball: West leads 17-16
(West won 9-13 from '84-'96 and have won 3 of the last 4 games).
Softball: East 15-3
(Only wins for West came in '93, '95, and '98).
Volleyball: East 9-6
(West won 4 of the first 5 but have only gotten two since then, and those coming in '03 and '04).
Boys soccer: East 11-2-1
(West wins were in '99 and '05, the tie coming in '01).
Girls soccer: Tied 5-5
(Started in '99, West won first two games of the series, and had won the previous 3 until this year's game).
