So the win in the state game in the buro...does that count as a home game? On a neutral court is where it was played and they played better than "average."

"Finally beat a good team" was a sarcastic remark. If your team makes the state tournament...it is a good team.....period.

Van Buren is good enough.......to still be in the tournament.

Van Buren finally beat a good team....lol. I state again...class act including coaches, players and fans. EAGLES!!!!

Congrats to the Van Buren Ladies. Class act from the players, coaches and their fans.

Any team can be beaten........Gibson included.

Really?

Information like this is not top secret.

What do you know about Loretto? Size? Strengths? Style of Play?

Loretto? Is that the name of the school Van Buren is playing?

Been years since I have been on here. Wanted to say "Well Done" to the young men and Coach Sullivan. Class Acts. Great for Van Buren County.

I was sitting on the 4th row behind the young men. I have great respect for the fans, players, coachs, and cheerleaders from Van Buren for being mature enough to not get "suckered" into what was occuring. I have a couple of questions. Who is responsible for stopping this kind of behavior? The host team? The 2 policemen standing a short distance away? Or someone else? During the whole game the action was inappropriate but very little was done. Who failed to do their job?

And Van Buren beat Clay County twice which beat Pickett County. So where should Clay County be ranked?

So Van Buren can't beat anyone away from the mountain? There might be a few surprises. They beat MTCS at their gym.

That last line is pretty good advice but I believe not being put into practice.

The best part of attending a small high school: Everyone knows everyone personally. The worst part of attending a small high school: Everyone knows everyone personally. Sometimes we all forget the real purpose of high school sports.Good luck to all the young ladies on the Van Buren Basketball team. Especially to the one I am related to and the one I have been privledged to get to know better in the last few months. I think you are both wonderful people on and off the court.

Score posted as Van Buren 50 MTCS 49. Is this correct? I would like to hear details of the game.

Any news on the score and a few details if possible?

We have a little of the white stuff and some sleet but not enough to cause any problems. Should not be any problems traveling. Hope to see a big crowd from Cascade Friday night. It seems some of the teams have not had a very good fan following this year for our home district games. I know it is a long trip but what is better than a good high school basketball game on a Friday night? Drive safe.

Let me "clearly" burst your imagination bubble with a couple of facts. At Home - Van Buren beat Forrest 81 to 75 At Forrest - Van Buren beat Forrest 68 to 58 Let me do the math for you. Margin of victory at home 6 Margin of victory away 10 What do you base your clear opinion on?

Cascade visiting Van Buren Friday night will be a great matchup. Three of the top scorers in the district will be on the court but the deciding factor will be the play on defense. When Van Buren plays solid defense they are hard to beat. It will be the best matchup this week in the district.

Don't you just love it when people start using their imagination skills.

Thanks for the information Eagleprotector. I will see you Friday night.

Anyone with details from the game?

And did you see the hand on his back from the defense? Some said Van Buren did not stand a chance at Eagleville last year either.
