That’s the atmosphere i miss. They’ve literally put all Phoebus games on Saturday afternoons for the last couple of years and it’s usually Phoebus side semi packed and 20 fans on the other side.

Good win for Varina. Hopefully i can get a chance to watch the game. That 4B race will be exciting. I’ll definitely be at that second round game between Dinwiddie, Huguenot, or Varina — that’s if something crazy happens that prevents this game from happening.

Wrong score! Probably know that by now.

We need that game. It will be a madhouse. I think Varina vs Huguenot will end up being 2nd round. I don't believe in Matoaca at all and think Dinwiddie will finish 9-1 with 1 seed.

The Seminole is relentless and don’t allow teams to gain any confidence. It’s a marathon not a sprint…keep at it👊🏾

I was set back by the Martinsville/Patrick County score but Martinsville has a good C2 team and I think they could give Gretna or Glenvar a good game come region time.

This isn’t your typical GW team. People will make light of the Dinwiddie score but GW showed me a lot that night and that carried over to the Glass, Amherst, SR, and Magna Vista games. This is one of the best GW teams we’ve had since 07. We are well coached and the kids just play and hold each other accountable.

Congratulations to Rappahannock. You guys did just enough to get the win. Both teams had some costly turnovers due to sloppy play (my opinion). As for my Trojans…I said it last year and I’ll say it again this year, there has to be some type of passing game to open up the run. While watching warm ups, both Bundy & Hence were throwing nice passes and the receivers were catching them. I know there was no one guarding them but I don’t see why that can’t be done in games. Hey…who am I lol….just my opinion

Did just enough? Seems like a back handed compliment but I digress......That was a good hard fought game. Kelly and Maddison is a heck of combo but I must say Rappahannock's offensive line and blocking backs did a tremendous job. Defense brought their hard hats and lunch pales and went to work! Those kids worked their butts off for that win. Hope they keep building on this momentum b/c the season is far from over!!!

The area really needs this Huguenot vs Varina match up come playoff time. I was kind of blown that it wasn’t a sell out/standing room only crowd last year, but if they play this year, BOOK IT.

Absolutely! Would love to see this game on a Saturday afternoon in November for the regional championship. In order to make tv at happen I figure one team would have to knock off Dinwiddie. Who do you think has the best chance at that?

Huguenot rolls again. The 2 times this year I’ve seen Manchester they just don’t look inspired to play football. I can’t remember the last time we could say that about a Manchester squad. I think this team and staff are in need of a big win. They will get their chance when LC Bird comes to town in 2 weeks. If not we will see the first Manchester team in about 10 years to lose 4 regular season games.

I think GA is still a really good football team. I was surprised at the final score but I knew it wouldn’t be easy to walk into Varina, on homecoming and beat a team that you never beat. Varina heard all week how they were the underdog. Shoutout to their coaches who had them locked in and prepared.

Facts!

I think Glen Allen was a little overrated but the bigger issue as I said earlier in the week is I thought they would fold against against a physical Varina or HSHS type of team and that's exactly what happened.

Varina's defense is the real deal. I think come playoff time region 4B will see some low scoring nail biters.

I respect it big bro, but I still don’t think GA is all that overrated. That’s a really good football team and I think we’ll see them bounce back and beat Herm pretty big.

Defensively, Varina is ELITE. I’ve said it and will continue to say it.. Best defense in C4! Wyche takes that Varina offense to another level though. Not sure when Darius Wilson gets back, but they’re only going to get better on D. Thursday night is going to be big. Can’t have a let down after a big game.

The score in this one is very deceiving. This games was tooth and nail all the way up until the 4th Quarted when everything seemed to finally go the War Eagles way. The game, as expected, was a defensive slobber knocker. Neither team could really get anything going offensively. Both teams gave up a few nice plays, but would later buckle down and not give anything more. For Eastside #12 Keldan Hamilton was a true force to be reckoned with both on offense and defense. Hamilton made play after play defensively for the Spartans and it looked like he was all over the field. Pannell the QB for Eastside had some nice plays, but just did not have any time to make anything happen with the Rye Cove rush. For Rye Cove the majority of the scoring came from Carter Roach-Hodge. Roach-Hodge had 2 rushing touchdowns as well as a pick six in the waning minutes of the game. The biggest offensive play of the night came on a 4th down QB sneak by Landon Lane who popped out of the pile with a couple War Eagles around him and scampered roughly 50 yards for the score. The War Eagles are now 7-0 for the first time in school history and have two weeks before they return to The Nest to face Chilhowie. Eastside returns to action next Friday with another Cumberland District showdown at home against Twin Springs.

While this Salem offense has good offensive weapons the defense still is flat. To give up 40 points to a team that has not won a game this season is atrocious. The defense has got to get a lot better by playoff time. Can’t keep relying on the offense to save them in these

I think people are delusional if they think this defense is going to get better by playoff time. They are getting worse, if that's even possible.

Strasburg has scored 243 points and only allowed 78 points this year. Not bad for a team that a lot of people thought was going to struggle without senior leadership this year.

Last night's game. Strasburg could have named their score. The first drive of the game was the only one that was longer than 40 yards. Starters out by end of 1st quarter.

On a side note Ace Mitchell for page is a competitor. He never gave up. But my lord if i was him I would be crushing my o-line. He never really had time to even hand the ball off.

Question - What was the LOS yard? Number of TO’s left? 45 seconds can be an eternity in a game, even high school. I don’t know the personnel but I’m fairly sure Coach Jones and his staff know. They spend long hours preparing for every game and prep. Believe me they don’t work an 8-4 day or 40 hour week. More like 50, 60, or 70 hour weeks. This coming from someone who spent these hours, day in day out, week after week, and year after year for over 35 years. Also, I was a run first, run second, and pass later. 😂😂But not what makes Saturday morning qb’s happy or makes sports writers happy.
