fan participation

i gotta give it up to the louisa fans they showed up in big numbers last night. there were more louisa fans than trojan fans and it was raucous. makes the whole experience worth the trip.
Great to hear as I did not experience that at LC Bird. I don't know if it was the first cold night of the season or what but I was shocked at the low number of fans that came out to Dutchman Field. To be such a proud program not even half the stands were filled. Disappointing to say the least.

Louisa County 34 Midlothian 23 Final

Louisa County scored touchdowns on their 1st three possessions and rolled up 413 yards of offense to defeat Midlothian 34-23.

The Lions scored touchdowns on their 1st three possessions and rolled up 413 yards of offense to defeat Midlothian 34-23. Savion Hiter, Rivals #1 ranked junior had 194 yards rushing including running 80 yards for a touchdown on his 1t carry from scrimmage.

Rutgers commit Dyzier Carter setup two touchdown scoring drives with two long receptions. He finished with 4 receptions for 82 yards while also running in a 1-yard touchdown.

The lead changed hands four times in the 1st half. Midlothian scored on their 1st drive going 68 yards in 13 plays with quarterback Tyler Snead connecting with Drew Kleski on a 13-yard touchdown pass. The Trojans took their final lead 16-13 on a touchdown pass from Snead to Donovan Dolla with two minutes to go before halftime.

However, it took Louisa County less than a minute to retake the lead. Hiter broke thru the middle of the Trojans defense for a 35-yard touchdown run to give Louisa County a 20-16 lead that they never relinquished.

Senior running back Jayden Seaberry rushed for 45 yards and scored two 3rd quarter touchdowns from 17 and 18 yards for the final points of the game. Luke Rowan and Aiden Shaw both intercepted passes in the second half to help Louisa County maintain their lead.
Any word on their injuries

State Runs through Altavista

Plaguing Essex? They have one loss so I wouldnt quite say they are plaguing. Stop making excuses and let things play themselves out. Essex has had 2 close games and won 1 and loss the other. I think their close encounter with Westmoreland was more of Westmoreland living up to their potential. Now the L they took to Rapp I'm sure everyone was surprised by that. Rappahannock may have just figured out a formula to success and that's not knocking Essex but more so giving the staff over their some credit.

Sussex and Galax have been the most disappointing teams in 1A Football. I certainly expected more from them.

I'm looking forward to these playoffs and the fact that we will get to crown a new State Champion this year because we all know that the 'Big Red Machine' will be back in 1A next year. So lets enjoy this while we can!!!!
With the "Big Red Machine" coming back what were they like this year. They seem to go up and down from Div 1 to 2 every so often??

Everyone playing for 2nd

They’re not playing by the same rules as everyone else. Enrollment shouldn’t matter here. They’re a recruited team playing against mid sized public school teams. Send them to C6 with teams that have equal talent across the board.
Tell us what you know about the roster. How many truly "recruited" kids? How many nonresident kids? How many kids joined upon entering or after entering high school?

Salem at GW

Nah it’ll be free on @Chuck Vipperman (GW) Facebook page. Link below.

Damn right!

Region D is charging me $500 to livestream each playoff game. They *really* want people to utilize NFHS. So yes...more listeners means I can help recoup these fairly staggering rights costs.

Salem at GW

@MrSalem1000, haven’t been to a Danville home game in a long time but I’ve drove by to see the progress when I come home. I know they’ve done a lot of renovations but there used to be parking behind the visitor bleachers. They’ve constructed a brand new parking lot on the opposite side of the new gym they’re building. GW has a very very nice athletic facility and plenty of parking.

Also, @Chuck Vipperman (GW) can we please make sure we have a comfortable spot for our brother @mike salem if he’s making the trip down. Hope he gets to make the trip, should be a heck of a football game this year.
I'll do my best, but there's barely room in the press box for me and my color guy. Combined, we weigh about 700 pounds. :)

Thoughts on Region A

Rapp seems to be the team to beat, after watching a scouting both teams this year, Rapp and Essex both have talent, I do feel like Essex has regressed a bit this year and Rapp has taken the forefront of the district and Region. Essex has some good athletes but I think Rapp has a tougher more hard nosed group of kids. Seeing the #2 Madison for Rapp in person that kid has some game breaking speed and has a tough O line with good size with a pretty quick Qb in #1, they don't seem to run anything complex they just line it up and beat you and wear you down. Defensively theyre quick and get to the ball. My colleague tells me they will be the team to see Altavista in the state semi. From what I saw on film they look like mirror images of each other besides Altavista having a much larger runningback....they have Westmoreland for a 3rd time this year this week

Essex is good but Im not sure they have the pieces in place to get back to state this year and that's tough to say considering they returned a few All state, All region, All district guys. I know someone said that injuries plagued them this year but with their schedule they've shown their hand when going against Rapp and Westmoreland at full strength. From what I've heard from a few people other than #1 theqb for Essex who was out early in the season but has been back no one else has had significant injuries they've just been "sore". They have a few good running backs with #2 Holmes for them being similar in size to Madison for Rapp but I think Madison runs harder. They also have a good size kid #6 who i was shocked to learn hes a freshman. Looks about 6'2 and at least 215 he had some good runs and then after that seems to be runners by committee. The qb was out with what I talked about being one of those "sore" injuries but I dont think hes been as much a factor as he was last year. The O line has size but is inconsistent the defense looked okay but there are some holes and arent nearly as good as last years unit...they have Middlesex this week... whats your thoughts on Region A..whats the outlook on the other regions

Few Surprises in Class 2, Thoughts and Predictions

I agree. I appreciate Hokiepokie's spirit. He talks those kids up a lot and doesn't down the others. Nice to see that as opposed to someone constantly talking about how bad all the other teams are. I can stand behind his love of his team.
He definitely is spirited! He amuses me with the voting on rings stuff 😂. I just need an interpreter sometimes. 😂

Few Surprises in Class 2, Thoughts and Predictions

I like your boys chances in the cold Gridiron60. Virginia has surely improved and their a dangerous bunch, but I think Grahams physicality in the cold will be the difference as long as Graham doesn't turn it over deep and forces VH to drive the length of the field to score, Graham should win. It's really going to be tough for any team to do long drives against Graham with that defense you guys have up there.

No judgement taken against you or your fanbase based on one poster. In his defense, seems like the guy loves his team and there's a huge difference in talking up your team (not my approach or most people's approach) compared to putting down other teams and that guy hasn't done that from what I've seen at least.
