Other than the HSHS faithful, I don’t think any of us really gave the Springers much chance against the Maury Machine? But the way they have been totally dominated the last two weeks is a long way from what we are used to. It’s traditionally been the Springers that were doing the dominating.
And I can say nearly the same thing about Salem.
Galax starting out 0-3? Wow. Carroll County has been better in recent years, but if you had said pre season that Carroll County was going to not only beat, but nearly shut out Galax, I would have loaded up on that bet. And did you know, the seven points the Maroon Tide scored on Carroll are the only points they have scored so far this year?
Huguenot putting up 81 on Clover Hill caught my eye, but it was not surprising. Huguenot is powerful, and Clover Hill is pitiful.
How about TJ putting nearly as many on Amelia. 79
Poor Hidden Valley. In three games they have been outscored 204 to 0. And what are their next two games? Glenvar and Salem!
My hat’s off to the kicker and the team at Brentsville District. (I still think of them as Nokesville). I don’t care what the length of the kick was, for a high school kicker to make the kick, to win the game, with only seconds on the clock is awesome.
Manchester beating Powhatan surprised many. I had told Danny that I wasn’t sold on Powhatan. I was sipping the Koolade, but not drinking it. I didn’t dump the rest of my cup…, yet, but they have to get some convincing victories before I ask for a refill.
It sure doesn’t appear that PH-A has figured out their problems yet. Losing to Glen Allen is not a sin, but being shut out and giving up 31 points makes you raise your eyebrows.
How about Caroline going into games as a favorite, and also winning?
Colonial Heights convincingly beat a 2-0 Nottoway team that was a VA Preps HM at 13th.
I see Coach Hall of Manchester vintage got his first win as the HC at Prince George.
Bleeding Navy pointed out to me that Stafford, (C6), has very quietly gotten to 3-0 with a good margin of victory.
I think we are beginning to identify who the contenders are for this season. There are always teams that start out poorly, and then get red hot, as well as those that have the world by the horns, only to get gored. I’m looking forward to the first posting of the standings based on the VHSL points. If memory serves me right, that goes out after week 5?
So, what caught your eye? What made you say, “no way” this week?
