Riverheads Rushes Past Rams in Second Scrimmage

Riverheads will be fine. They can continue to win at a high rate as long as athletes continue to show up and buy in. Thats what stopped happening at Giles. Nobody just magically figured out the single wing. In fact, like riverheads, the scheme is simple. You just out block and out execute your opponent. A thing of beauty honestly. Like Fairlawn said, as run heavy program, you often struggle to prepare for high powered passing attacks. Every year that Giles was able to do that, they competed for a state title or atleast made a deep run in the playoffs.

2024 NOVA Pick'em Week 1

Welcome to this year's Pick'em for those who wish to participate. The season is now here and most teams start playing next week. Here in NOVA all but a handful of the games are being played on Thursday so please submit your picks by 7:00 pm on Thursday.

As usual for this early in the season there is little data upon which I can base my spread calculations. Add in that the several sites I refer to as back up are also going mostly on a team's performance for past seasons and that means I usually end up a bit off for the first few weeks.

Lake Braddock (-28) @ Colgan
Gainesville (-12) @ Potomac
Herndon (-35) @ Justice
Mount Vernon @ West Potomac (-14)
Yorktown (-24) @ WT Woodson
South County (-24) @ Robinson
Centreville (-17) @ Alexandria City
Falls Church @ Chantilly (-38)
Stone Bridge @ Madison (-6)
Patriot (-6) @ Westfield
Thanks for taking your time to continue this tradition of fun competition, falcettik! I just hope I don't embarrass myself like last year, haha...

Was it a break or fracture? 3-4 weeks or sooner for a broken bone seems questionable/unrealistic. That seems more of the timetable for a fracture, regardless speed recovery to the young man
I’m guessing it was not a break. I’m still hearing 3-4 weeks. Bundy & Holmes didn’t play in the last scrimmage vs. 2A Southampton & 3A Armstrong out of Richmond. Southampton was a 2nd round playoff team last year and Armstrong fell in the Regional Champinship. I was told vs. Essex 1st string, Southampton scored once on a blown assignment and Armstrong (with 14 returning starters) didn’t score at all on Essex 1st team D. I also was told a couple 1st year varsity guys did real good filling in for Bundy & Holmes.

Region B

I would expect a low scoring game between IR and Varina with Varina winning something like 17-10. IR will have athletes but I don't think they will have much success on offense unless they have improved a lot.

I won't be at HSHS vs Manchester but I think HSHS wins big in that one.
I agree with both. If Varina puts up 17 on IR then watch out! That would be a big improvement,
