And he was incredibly entertaining to listen to. He will he missed.

Me too Nash. Me too. I think it’s been four for me though. I’ve honestly lost track it’s been so long. Practicing TM before games with Hagar has been my trick.

In all fairness, you could have gotten several of those awards, including the one bestowed upon me

That is a great point. He would have come a lot closer to what he put Mr. Byrd through in gen pop.

B-I-N-G-O!

It’s a shame that Jasper would get a bad rap as a whole over what a few ignorant, evil individuals decided to do that day. Let’s not forget the incredible job Sheriff Billy Rowles, DA Guy James Gray, and many others did to bring swift justice for the Byrd family and Jasper community. For a small little community, they were blessed to have some very fine men leading the charge to justice. As for the 20 years after that, well that’s the capital justice system for you.

By the way, I am appreciative of all of your contributions on this board. I doubt I’m the only one who enjoys the links and info. Keep doing God’s work \m/

Classic! Lol!

They usually do one every year. And like you pointed out, having a “first team” implies there will be a second. I think McCain obviously, Bridges (who I think led the area in scoring), and Alex Connell (who I think led the area in assists) should be on it. After that it becomes tough again. Both bigs at Memorial were very good and I’m sure there are plenty I’m missing.

Glad I was right

I have a guess who locked it - and their sense of humor was not lost on me. The best part of this board imo is the good natured laughs provided by all.

Very tough to limit it to 5. They usually have a second team though which makes 10 who get honored. At the same time, I also love that the Enterprise does it like the all NBA team and ONLY puts 5 on the first team. A lot of all district teams for instance get watered down (as we’ve all talked about). Really like the Bridges kid’s game as well. The best player not on the team, however, in my opinion is McCain. Incredible talented kid who affects the game in a multitude of ways. But I can’t argue against any of the 5 on the list. And they absolutely got the MVP right with Adams. Good job by Meshach and the guys at the BE.

Should have hedged but not take $50k. Guarantee you he could have sold that ticket in Vegas for at least 100k. Some sharp would have paid that for 40k in equity.

I caught that. Was pretty sure it was a flour...

There was the first tortilla appearance in the first half.

Heard today that Guy was +475 to win tournament’s most outstanding player. That may have been the bet of the day.

Tech has had someone step up every time Culver struggles. Tonight it’s been Francis. Been pretty much as expected. Both of these teams are as good as it gets defensively.

Aaron turned down a 2 way contract this year to play in Turkey. Had been bouncing between the league and the G league for the last few seasons. Andrew had a couple of solid seasons with Memphis (really good last year) before bouncing around from Memphis to Cleveland to New Orleans this year before ending up in Russia. Wesley is playing for Orlando and Johnathan is on a two-way with the Clippers. First two way contract in league history to be a part of a trade.

[Hidden Content] what would you guys sell the ticket for? Tech is +108 on the money line so the fmv of the ticket should be around $140k. You could also theoretically take UVA at -128 for $150k which would pay around $115k, guaranteeing yourself either $115k or $151,500. Either way, Dez was trying to rob this guy.

Regrettably no...

Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Johnathan Motley & Wesley Iwundu. Shaq Cleare and Derrick Griffin are also playing professionally.

Tech matches up very favorably against UVA, although a lot will depend on Owens’ ankle. His rim protection is vital to their defense. I will say it will likely be the ugliest NCAA final ever played. Top two defenses in the country. And Culver’s struggles will likely continue as I’m sure Bennett will have Hunter assigned to him, who is probably the best on ball defender in the country. Assuming Owens is a go, i think they will get enough support to finish the Cinderella season. On a side note, Beard may be revolutionizing how defense is going to be played at the college level and lower. It really is remarkable to watch. He only has one 4 star on the active roster (6th man grad transfer Brandone Francis). He does have a lottery pick in Culver, an undersized 2 playing the 1, and an elite rim protector in Owens (who is also a grad transfer). Mooney was exceptional in the semis obviously (played out of his mind - better than I’ve ever seen him) but he and Odiase (both starters) would struggle to find minutes at most Power 5 schools. What Beard has done with this roster is truly remarkable.
