Sherando hosting Salem

Sherando Defense is the best in the Region. Warriors finally convince the doubters.
Just curious other than Sherando faithful @Shruikan and @Scalvinscaliwag who has offered any feedback or doubted Sherando? A lot of people questioned Handleys ability to beat Salem, but I think Sherando has been the favorite in both games thus far.

The Warriors are only giving up 10 points a game and as @Shruikan said they are very stingy against the run. It will be the battle of wills as Salem is going to run it and run it some more. Both teams have sound interior lines so the linebacker and secondary corps are keys. I would say Sherando's linebackers are better and Salem's secondary has a slight edge over the Warriors. It sounds like both teams have a key player nicked up, so that may be a key factor.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Spartans lead the series 2-1. There has been one lopsided game in this series (2017). Can Sherando's defense rise to the occasion like in 2013 or will Salem take advantage of the possible wet surface and win another mud bowl like in 1996. Not much difference in these two teams, but Salem consistently makes it to the blood round. Slight edge to Sparta.

Varina vs Huguenot

Oh yeah Maury in a landslide best offense I’ve seen all year. Then Hayfield then Oscar Smith (they also have a fumbling problem)
This years Tiger team is still quiet young. They remind me on a weekly basis. QB looks like Sims one play, then loses his body mechanics the next. RB by committee with their best rusher losing the ball trying to get the last inches with five guys pulling at the ball. But their Defense is scary good. So far, I'd compare this version to their 2019 team. Almost ready for prime time! They have yet to be fully tested but as we know, every team in their Regional Finals are going to be tough to beat now!

Varina vs Huguenot

I remember last year the sentiment was the same, Varina will easily beat Huguenot and that was not the case… also, same story about the weak schedule from the same posters. This Huguenot team is substantially better than their squad last year. Maybe Varina’s is too, we shall see. I would be stunned if Huguenot only scored 16 points though. The scores of X team against Y team don’t always act as much of a predictor. I could spiral out of control on that topic and show you many games that don’t add up this season when comparing wins against neutral opponents and margin of victories. I’ll admit, it is the only thing we have to go off of though. I think Huguenot’s offense is the most diverse that I have seen this year. Now maybe, Varina’s pass rush is so good they have no time but Varina will not be able to just pin their ears back. Huguenot has two very good tailbacks. I’d say for me, the one thing I wonder about Huguenot is can they consistently stop Varina. I know their defensive numbers have been great but Varina will definitely be the best team they faced all year so far.

Varina vs Huguenot

Their games against Powhatan & Monacan make me think they lose this game. Both of those teams are spread teams who run the ball & in both those games they trailed against inferior talent. Now you goto Varina and play against a team with the same scheme but SIGNIFICANTLY better talent who has played a stronger schedule than you, I think in the 4th quarter that will come into play. It means something when a team has been in a war a knows how to squeeze out a win even when they play bad. I said 24-22 Varina this weekend I’m starting to lean 28-16 Varina. I’ve just got to see it to believe it from Huguenot.
I felt it in my bones & it happened. It just came into play in the 1st quarter

1A Scores

I knew they played Wilson, Staunton, Fort, Draft, and Riverheads, but definitely didn't see this level of strength in them.
Look at the scores. They have been fairly close all year. Some going into the final minutes. Unlike most 1A teams they played schools with more enrollments. Add to that list Clarke County and Stuart’s Draft. Think they may have scrimmaged Strasburg. They run the single wing. 65 points is quite impressive. Close friend who lives up that way tells me they are dangerously good as a playoff team.

The Problem With Your Hayfield/Darryl Overton Problem

It is easy for any person to stand back and bring up someone else's faults, mistakes, character flaws, mistakes, character flaws, convictions, sins or whatever while acting as if they have lived the life of perfection and only challenged by Jesus Christ himself. Again, I am related to multiple idiots that think, act and live just like that.

For some strange reason masses of people are ok having and or forming fandom, partnerships, memberships or any relationship with groups, corporations or organizations that have committed some of the worst of the worst offenses and atrocities in human history, only to boo hoo the person that points it out. You complain about individual NFL football players making mistakes but turn a willful blind eye to the billionaire owners and the actions of the NFL. You better believe they are not wearing your jersey.

Some of you are ok with Virginia public schools having working relationships with the Catholic Church's Catholic schools.

As an aside many men are quick to say, "If so and so did that to my family member I would _________."

Really? Would you really? No you wouldn't. You know what you would do? Keep reading.

Being a member of that particular organization. Not having an issue with Freedom or any Virginia public school playing against them or not being under a stated protest opens you up to whatever can and will happen because nothing else is worse. I posted this fact prior to Freedom playing DeMatha while stating that the game would be proven to be a colossal waste of time. It was. It was stopped by a literal act of God. 🤭 Even Him, Her, He or She didn't like it. Sent cha packing.

If you are ok with anything the Catholic Church does (and evidently, they have done a whole lot) then you gotta be ok with the entire population of the city/town of Woodbridge, Virginia living in Woodbridge but attending Hayfield High School and football practice each and every day of the week. There is nothing any man, woman or child has done that is worse than what the Catholic Church, Michigan State and Penn State has done and yet they continue to be things that exist and operate in America. Note Dame still has the best sports TV deals, one of the most powerful alumni while consistently possessing a so-so and, at times; subpar football team.

If any man, woman or child did what those awful organizations are accused of doing you would (yes YOU) be the first person running down I95 with a torch and pitch fork in hand. Yet some of you would not hesitate to giddily hand over your son with the hope that he will become a part of the 0.0062%. People wonder why children run the streets committing crimes. They are following the leaders.0

Our standards and morals have been flushed down a filthy, rotten and disgusting toilet. Expect more of less. Bad does not get better. If you are ok with this less than then Darryl Overton and any high school football coach in Virginia can flaunt the rules right in your face and you have to take it. I have a Darryl problem in my family that I have dealt with. You are probably just gonna have to let him be who he is and just live with it. That's what I do.

What are ya gonna do about it? Maybe type a lot of words on Virginia Preps?
Complain about me complaining again?
Danger Will Robinson. Our standards of what we will take/accept and not take action or a stand against is lower than the lowest low. I don't care how you feel about me, you are dealing with the actual Devil but it is in life and football.

1.7 trillion dollars of insurmountable debt due to pointless and useless educations but you mad at Darryl Overton cause he wins football games.

You are not gonna do anything about anything. You go for anything. You stand for nothing. It has been proven.

Varina vs Huguenot

I watched a little on the Facebook stream, but my comment was getting at @BoKnowsSports wishful comments earlier this week about the best offense in the state vs the best front 7. I hadn't seen any live or replays of Huguenot this season, but honestly didn't believe they had the best offense considering their schedule and results.

Varina vs Huguenot

You must didn’t watch that game Huguenot wasnt winning that game on a sunny day where they are “on” I thought they got tougher over the offseason at least that’s what we were sold. They got punched in the mouth and had no response at all

Salem - 14 GW - 3 Halftime

Shabutie-----what changes did Salem make? Or did the kids just rise to occasion?
Scheme wise they really didn't change much. They were just a lot better at the point of attack than last week. Those two brothers for Handley were just man handling people and while GW's OL was solid, they didn't have players like that.

The DBs (especially Coen Logan) also did a tremendous job coming up and making tackles in the running game. They played significantly better than last week as well.

Arrington at LB shot through and made some really big tackles for loss/no gain and DE Davis probably played his best game of the season.
