According to his Twitter (X) Logan is going to St Francis Academy. Huge blow to Salem. Not only offensively but defensively as well

Salem is returning a lot on defense, half their o-line. Good Running backs etc.

Really can’t use that as a metric when looking at Salem’s upcoming season.

There have been state years where they have to replace 17-18 starters and still won states (2015, 1999). There have been years that return a decent amount and look promising but end up being “weak” by Salem standards (2001,2010).

Salem is going to be well coached and hit hard. That’s for sure.

Not really sure what Salem has this season other than the skill running backs with McCadden and Arrington. Coen Logan is a solid returning receiver. I think the new quarterback is a kid by the last name of Overstreet but I could be wrong. Don’t know much about his game

I like this even with no 3A dog in the fight. Anything to break up the monotony is welcomed.

Petersburg’s JV just had a 10-0 season last year, don’t be surprised if they’re one of the top 3a teams in the upcoming years or sooner. Especially with LT being down and Lafayette moving up to 4A

the only threat to the District coming from Chesterfield PS. They will again try to get the VHSL to approve an all Chesterfield County District which would gut the Central.

I been hearing that as well with people from both school trying to transfer to Spotsy and would not be shocked if an investigation comes up.

Win or lose, a good and improving Caroline program is good for a weak Battlefield. I'm glad that they have improved in recent years. And it seems like they are doing things the right way down there as well. Now, it's all about building on that consistency. Because if that happens, they shouldn't have any issues getting more and more kids interested in coming out for the program.

I agree. I really don’t expect Courtland or EV to be as good as they normally are. Courtland had their best team in years last year and got destroyed by a very down and injured KG team. EV lost their two best players (Will Butler and Clatterbaugh) and has a new coach. KG lost their whole coaching staff and every player that was serviceable to play varsity football. Hearing from legitimate sources that Courtland and KG’s administration are crying to the county about Spotsy and wants whoever transfers in to be investigated, which leads me to think that Courtland has quite a few kids that want to play at Spotsy. With that being said, Caroline could very well compete for the Battlefield championship. A lot of smoke in the air in the Battlefield. I believe it'll look a lot like
1.) Spotsy
2.) EV, Courtland Caroline
5.) Culpeper
6.) JayEm
7.) Chancellor
8.) King George, if they even have enough to field a varsity team.

Caroline is my sleeper pick to win Battlefield this year. 6-4 last year and argue they could have been 8-2 if they beat Courtland and Colonial Heights in which both games decided if the finale seconds. I heard they are returning a lot of talent and got some sleepers on their team.

Agree. For being coach Alexander first year he did a great job. 6-4 record in most cases gets you in The playoffs. Last season Should have been 8-2 if they beaten Colonial heights and Courtland. Both games was lost in the last seconds. This upcoming season looking at Caroline schedule. They should win there first 5 games. The toughest opponent in that first 5 games is Colonial Heights but they got to play them on the road. The last 5 they got to play Eastern View, at Spotsylvania, Courtland, King George and Culpeper. Out those last 5 they probably gaurantee to win 2 of those just looking at the schedule against KG, Culpeper. If they can beat Eastern View who probably going to be a step down this season, and beat either Spotslivania or Courtland. Caroline might just get into the playoffs. I can see Caroline either being 8-2, or 9-1 or would not be shock if they went 10-0. Biggest question is can they finally get over the hump and make some nosie.
