Hi old friend. I’m still around. I’m just out of the habit of checking in on VirginiaPreps. I hope all is well with you?@DinwiddieProud are you around?
What happened that caused North Stafford to regress so much?Nice looking schedule. Just an opinion. You guys might want to drop North Stafford after this current half of the cycle. They've really regressed recently. It's good to get those extra points, but you're not going to improve much by playing them.
Freedom of movement up there!What happened that caused North Stafford to regress so much?
Dinwiddie Football @GeneralsFootbalMight want to check that date for the opener. GW has it as Friday the 30th.
Incorrect. Coaching turnover has really undone the progress Joe Mangano made up there. When the NS head coach chooses to take a dead-end gig like Chancellor, you know the coaching killer instinct isn’t there.Freedom of movement up there!
Our AD told our head coach that is incorrect. Someone needs to make a call. I can’t imagine anyone agreeing to play nearly 3 hrs away on a school night. That’s part of why these two don’t play JV.Dinwiddie Football @GeneralsFootbal

It's our home game, my AD said they (both parties) moved it to Thursday.

DCPS is Dinwiddie County Public Schools. They are closed Aug 30.Never heard of a VDOE mandate for 4 day break for Labor Day. The link below is for the DPS 2024-25 calendar. Clearly DPS is in school on the 30th of August so your info is incorrect.
Da Man has spokenDCPS is Dinwiddie County Public Schools. They are closed Aug 30.
Dinwiddie host GW on Aug 29.
My understanding is that GW could have refused to shift the game to Thursday. Believe visitor has to agree to it when the home team requests the shift.I wanna call BS on this but I am not knowledgeable enough. Someone on the GW end appears to have dropped the ball. Hope that doesn’t happen when these teams play.
Keep the seat warm for me!Two home, FIVE away, then three at home. Strange the way it has worked out.
Chuck V, we are looking to hosting you and your partner again. It’s always fun to have you present in our press booth.
With Coach Hall taking the helm at Prince George, I foresee the rivalry with Dinwiddie rising to a whole new level.
There are a whole lot of speed bumps on Dinwiddie’s road to success this season. But I have faith. If dedication to hard work in the off season accounts for anything, we should have a good team. I’m not sure that Dinwiddie has ever had a team that has been as diligent in the off season as this team.
This is interesting. My school started 27 days before Labor Day for 23-24. I suppose it’s an easy waiver to get if you ask correctly.https://www.doe.virginia.gov/data-policy-funding/virginia-board-of-education/pre-labor-day-openings
Effective July 1, 2019, § 22.1-79.1 of the Code of Virginia, provides:
I can assure you that the game is scheduled for Thursday, Aug 29th, at Dinwiddie, at 7:00 pm.
- All school divisions in Virginia may set the school calendar such that the first day students are required to attend is up to 14 days before Labor Day. Those divisions beginning school prior to Labor Day must close each school in the school division from the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day through Labor Day.
That’s the real question. Why were classes scheduled in defiance of state law. My guess is that whomever put the calendar together was not aware of the law. The smart thing for the Superintendant to do is to declare the day a holiday.Based on their calendar, should DPS not be closed on Friday the 30th?
That’s a question that needs to be asked.
I’m not sure. We almost always go up against LC Bird. Typically another Richmond area team will be part of that scrimmage. Coach Mills likes to travel down to tidewater and knock heads with a couple of the teams down that way.Who will Dinwiddie Scrimmage and play for Benefit game?
