@Hayes_BHCSports Class 4/Region 4A in a holding pattern and teams don't know when they're supposed to play again

🚨 BCAV NEWSWORTHY EVENT 🚨

Parry McCluer junior guard Langston Cook became the all time leading scorer in Parry McCluer Boys Basketball history earlier this season.

The previous record of 1,401 points was held by Adam Gilbert.

Langston stands at 1,426 points and counting!

Agree 100%

Still find it a bit puzzling #VHSL holds its basketball quarterfinals and semifinals on same day. Girls on Tuesday/Friday and boys on Wednesday/Saturday would seem to make more sense. Led to some tough choices in past when schools had girls, boys teams playing at different sites.

Rural Retreat's Caleb Gibson when asked which one of his four #VHSL state wrestling titles meant the most: “I don’t know yet. I feel like I’ll figure that out when I’m older and sitting in a rocking chair.”

#VHSL Region 2C quarterfinals

No. 7 Gretna 67, No. 2 Martinsville 66

That dude Rayshaun Logan with a stick-back on a missed free throw at the buzzer to deliver the upset for the Hawks against a stout Martinsville squad. What hasn't this kid done in his high school career.
