Is Honaker Boys that good or was Central just not playing up to par?

Central is terrrrrrrrrribbbblleeeeeeeee man!

From the looks of it, its gonna be a Union/Gatecity regional final more than likely. That should be a good game. Gatecity beat Union regular season but I cant remember the score. Either way, should be one heck of a game!

Union and Gate City have not played. Honaker will be a tough match up, a school from Big Stone has not played in a regional basketball final since the '90's.

I thought a team around 02 or so made it to the substate at PV?

Not that I recall.

Julius and Josh Warren's senior year? They lost to Haysi in the regional finals. Kory Bostic went nuts in that game. Julius had a shot to win it at the buzzer. The ball was halfway down and rimmed out.

That's the game I remember, it was played at Clintwood. '99 was the year if I remember correctly. Geez, I'm getting old.

I guess thats why I couldnt recall the score of Gatecity and Union haha. Id love to See Union make to the finals and play Gatecity. JMO but I think that would be a killer game to see

I don't think anybody in the region is going to challenge Gate City. Could be wrong, hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I doubt if Gate City will go very far after the regional. Could be wrong, hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

My SR year I thought Clintwood and Pound both represented Region D in state competition. I think the year they lost to Haysi was 98. 99 Pound lost in the state finals and the regional tourney was at Castlewood. I was thinking around Fleenors JR year or so they made it which I was thinking was either 01 or 02.

I disagree. the region C fell apart tonight with Glenvar strokin Radford.

I don't think we made it past the region. Wasn't that the year we stunk in the regular season, people quit, etc and we somehow made the regional tournament?

I was thinking that was Fleenors SR year that he left the team along with a bunch of others. I may be mistaken though.

teams today don't play ball like they use to. give me a JIB team from 87-91 and I take them every time over any team down here today. I think I'd take then over and all lpd team and maybe over an all region d team. It's crazy what difference there is in the era's

PV hasn't made the state tournament since 1997. It was Julius & Warren's junior seasons. Neil Bailey, Matt Walls, Christian Thompson were seniors that year. In 1998, we lost the latter three, and got beat in the LPD semis by Appalachia with the German Chris Papst, and a big 6-6 homegrown kid whose name I can't remember. 1998 was preston mitchell's last year as PV coach as I recall. PV's 1997 team was nasty and loaded with talent. Just laid an egg in the elite 8 against a pretty good John Battle team in radford university.
