Riverheads 29 Stuarts Draft 28 Final

I just watched and the one play that was 13 yards but only 1 second ran off the clock is the one that sticks out the most. Just timed it and it was 6 seconds. You can see on the tape them moving the ball back but I think the whistle should have blown and an explanation given as it did look bad to the common fan. The two side judges had 2 different spots and they were about 2 yards off. You hate for refs to make mistakes but it is just part of the game unfortunately. We have been on both sides of the coin as has Stuarts Draft at some point in time.

Riverheads 29 Stuarts Draft 28 Final

Wasn’t making an argument because objectively I can see where you would see it the way you do from your perspective. I have major issues with both of those scenarios in general not specific to any play in this game.

First off the closer guy is generally deferred to unless there is something egregious. That said I did see the Draft side judge indicating that the runners knee was down. If that was the case they should have called an officials timeout as the offense was reporting to the ball with a play that had already been called, potentially based on that initial spot. That is my opinion on that specific play and although annoying it wasn’t a huge deal.

As for winding the clock, I agree it’s when the white hat winds it but the mechanics should be that the dang ball is at least spotted prior to that occuring when there is a first down. This isn’t about the last two minutes either, it’s just a pet peeve of mine and this guy was quick with it all night (against both teams)

And not to put too fine a point on it by the white hat added time specifically because the ball being moved late was delaying our opportunity to snap the ball or so I was told. And not to rehash open sores but it’s rich that there is a social media uproar over the clock when several years ago it was of benefit to Draft at their field in an extremely tight game.

Either way the game is done and that was a very good senior laden Draft team that I could have seen make noise against any of the Bull Run teams. IF L Graber would have been healthy it may have been different. He is the epitome of what you want from a HS football player and I have a ton of respect for him laying it all out there battling his shoulder.

Ok pal, I will let you point out at what point in "some game" recently that there was an error at SD, my guess is that you are now trying to justify something to cover up for Friday.

You see, like anything, I am not going to say 100% that an ERROR, wasn't made at ANY time at SD. THAT COULD happen anywhere any time. But 6 times on ONE DRIVE, yea VERY unlikely.

Again, I am not just saying this, I have ACTUAL PROOF of this. You know, this thing we call EVIDENCE, not just some words written out.

It seems that one side wants to continue to discuss a spot and how it was handled, which in reality cost the Gladiators a couple seconds when it was moved. Great. I will 100 % agree. So now we are at 28 seconds.

Now if you REALLY want me to, I will go back and watch the ENTIRE game and see if there is a noticeable delay on the clock running in any part of the game, since you want to make a deal out of when he was doing it.

And even so, that absolutely doesn't explain a play where it doesn't run, or the plays when the ball was snapped ON A DEAD BALL.

Speaking of that, IF the clock runs when it was supposed to at other times in the game (since you admitted the WH didn't change a thing all game), will you then like to admit that what was done last drive looks EXTREMELY BAD AND I will leave it there...

The audacity to try and turn this around is unbelievable. Oh, btw there are those who have seen this evidence NOT from SD and agree, just saying...

Varina vs Huguenot

King of crazy statements is wild 😂 I’m cool with it. I do see whomever coming out of B giving yall that work in the ship. Azz whipping. Remember it, write it down, take a picture or whatever Smoky said 😈
you’re clearly trolling. So easy to say this when you’re not the one that has to strategize and play against Phoebus. Your 804 bias is cool but we got to be realistic

5C seedings

Time for a shakeup at Herm. Just way too much talent for them to not show any improvement over the last 3 years. I was high on them coming into the year but this is just who they are.
I heard they had Aaron Brooks apply when it was open a few years ago. They’ve underachieved very badly these past 3 years. Bedwell would’ve won at least one state championships with what they have and transferred out. They lost a lot to transfers and still had a significant # of talent on their roster.

LCA does have boundaries for residency. They split a residency zone with Heritage.
Thank you. Let me say upfront that my preference of private competing against public is that they not combine. This is for a variety of reasons tied to resources, rules and the nature of operations. However, that being said, the ruling AND settlement that allowed LCA to join the VHSL was intended, in my opinion, as a compromise solution to a situation that if allowed to grow would have only gotten messier, more expensive and likely even more untenable in the future. A lot of allegations are thrown around on these boards regarding recruiting, attendance zones, etc. and people should be careful when they read these allegations to ask the question what do they KNOW and can prove versus what they have heard but, not necessarily verified. Known and provable are the genesis of a formal complaint as opposed to unverified beliefs which are the genesis of rumors and misconceptions.

Riverheads at Strasburg

This should be a good game. If Strasburg executes the diversity on Offense that they demonstrated against Fort, then they certainly have a better chance to be successful. Thats not to say they will not have success in their run game because frankly it is pretty dang good as well. Speaking of the LOS, year in and out Riverheads is undersized so honestly that is what it is.

Strasburg has checked all the boxes, and their dismantling of Fort showed just how dominant they can be. That diversity that was displayed will go a long way in the playoffs regardless of opponent. I would venture to say that the defense is pretty dang good as well since we know firsthand that Fort had a dynamic offense of their own this season.

Riverheads is young across the board but have grown a ton this season. Super proud of the underclassmen contributing as the game speed has slowed down. On the road is a tough sled to pull but if its close I like the composure this group has shown in several games facing adversity.

This one should definitely be worth the price of admission this Friday.

Rye Cove vs Grundy. If I'm allowed to pick Class 2, then Riverheads vs Strasburg

Varina vs Huguenot

With the exception of Region A, there is a ton of parity. I have no clue who is coming out of Region B, C, and D. I do believe Phoebus will get challenged in the semi and final. Let's hope anyway.
