New Buchanan County High School

Never been to SW VA before?
Lots of kids have traveled over 2 mtns to schools for decades.
Everyone's dealt with bad roads for decades.
"an hour 40 minutes round trip commute"? ROTFLMFAO! That's ONE WAY!
Well, 1:40 total if they drive, 3 hours if they take the bus.
Was told that confirmation will occur during the Summer... Grundy's already got a lot of SWD teams on their schedule for this year. Dropped Richlands as the benefit game to play them 'regular'.
I think we'll have less than 600 when the doors open; the enrollment numbers at the end of Feb. for grades 7-10 at the three schools is 633.

Big time news out of the Battlefield District

My son graduates this year, I no longer coach there, and I no longer work in the division...so I'm happy for Vern and the rest of the coaches and wish them well at Spotsy. I have no doubt that Spotsy will be in the conversation REAL soon. They had some really good players on that team last year, if they all return look out. KG will probably struggle mightily next year, but I wish them well.

Varina is the favorite. They'll be my pre-season pick. As I've said the last 3 years, the defense is gonna show up and dominate. Richardson and Braylon Hood in the middle is going to be a nightmare next year. The offense has the horses to match but Varina's offense hasn't evolved since Stu Brown left. Luckily there will be enough talent that this mostly won't matter until probably the 2nd round. But seeing in past years Maury, Dinwiddie, HSHS, Varina with Stu brown calling plays, Freedom ect. putting up 45 points a game makes me have little faith in Varina's play callers with the level of talent that's been there. I agree with Bo somebody is going to be disappointed with their touches when they were expecting to have a bigger role this year.

I don't know if Dinwiddie will for sure be better overall next year, but I have a gut feeling the offense will better than last year with Boisseau at QB. That young man is a STUD.
They’ll be better on both sides. The only question I have is the running game. Can’t become one dimensional against good teams that’s what bit us in the behind against Varina last year it’ll be a grind but Week 0 Dinwiddie will look totally different from Week 11 Dinwiddie. If they stay healthy this team could be special

Only barber shop talk. Heard they had a kid or two follow the longtime JV coach to Trinity? I think they’ll still be good. If I had to bet a year that Glen Allen finally beats them, I’d put it all on this upcoming fall.
That is if they meet in the playoffs. 16 teams in Region 5C with Glen Allen, Hermitage, Springers, Matoaca all surely the favorites to take the region crown and I wouldn't count out Patrick Henry out of Roanoke or William Fleming to be in the mix again.
