Smith should score gold with this move
Well played, Mr. Smith. Oh, so well played.

Somebody buy Vermillion a Fresca, stat
Got an extra dollar in your pocket? Yes? Good. Then please, someone, anyone buy Scott Vermillion his favorite soda pop the next time you see him (may we suggest a Fresca?) because, and we’re just being honest here, all the Gate City boys basketball coach did Thursday night was put Saturday’s Clinch Mountain District title game with Virginia High into perspective.

Will Irsay and Manning please STHU already
Someone, anyone, walk up to Colts owner Jim Irsay and is-he-current-or-former-Colts-quarterback Peyton Manning and tell the pair to please shut up.

They cheered for their district
We will never know the pride.

Defense the difference at Virginia High
Last season, the Bearcat defense couldn’t tackle a stalk of corn. This season it’s a little different.

UVa-Wise vs. Emory & Henry not a rivalry? That's a tough sell
They came out in droves for two years, gave two small college campuses a Division I pregame feel, and let’s be honest here, win or lose everybody seemed to have a good time.

Dear BMS, don't sell your soul for a sellout
It’s a good thing that on Bristol Motor Speedway’s website you no longer see “Racing the way it oughta’ be” because you know, they know – heck we all know – it ain’t what it used to be.

One picture. All the words you need after East's win.
It’s the way Mike Locke is shaking the kid’s hand. The way he’s looking at him. Letting this kid know that “Hey, I’m your new football coach. You want to play? Good. We’re in this together. If you’re good enough, you’ll be on varsity. If you’re not, you’ll be on JV. But I’ll be here for a while. We’ll see each other.”

'Blocking'? 'Tackling'? Finally.
Someone said new Virginia High football coach Paul Wheeler has “passion.” That he stalks the sidelines with a “trail of smoke and the smell of brimstone left in his wake.” Someone said he’s “tough.” He’s “fiery.” He’s “exactly what the Bearcats need.” I say “whatever.”

Spartans, Warriors and Bears? Oh, puhleez
Seriously? These are the best mascots they could come up with in Wise County?

VHSL, have mercy!
Before we begin a rant, let’s get something out of the way right now – the Twin Valley baseball players had every reason not to walk back out onto the diamond for that second game Monday.

With more support, maybe Thurman had a chance
Four phone calls. That’s what came into this office as the football season wound down and it became very obvious that the Virginia High football team would not be making the postseason.

Some random racing thoughts
No. Sorry. Still don’t get it.

See, we t@ld y!o s#
So Kelsey Weddle uses her arms, her athleticism and her smarts and, BAM!, Patrick Henry finds itself in the Group A, Division 2 title game Saturday up in Richmond, Va. See, we told yo … nah … sorry. We gave up typing our favorite phrase for Lent.

Kelsey Weddle, your table is ready
Patrick. Henry. Needs. Kelsey. Weddle. End of story. Done with blog. Lock the thread. (We kid, please read on.)

Wilmoth flips the switch to "on"
All Patrick Henry coach Tommy Thomas had to do was pull Cadence Wilmoth aside during a timeout and let the 6-foot-1 junior know that, well, she wasn’t playing up to snuff.

East dropping THS a good move ... for now
So Sullivan East hires Mike Locke away from Virginia High, then announces it’s going to dump Tennessee High from its football schedule.
