It’s lame that Handley couldn’t finish the job yesterday. I hope Salem beats them 70-0 this week. The region needed a Salem/GW final. @Chuck Vipperman (GW) can we sign a petition to get Keshawn Waller a RB #. That young freshman is the next big thing out of Danville VA.
I think each game will be 21+ blow outs. After Friday Mills will make sure to fix those mistakes made on Friday. 16 drops smh I know practice wont be good tomorrow afternoon. It’ll take alot of mistakes next Friday in order for Powhatan to stay in that game. 45-14 Dinwiddie
Huguenot will roll EV it seems like EV has gotten worse instead of better throughout the season an that won’t bode well Friday 49-7 Hueguenot
Hanover will have to be very aggressive and tricky Friday in order to steal this one from the Blue devils. They ran the ball well the first time they met but could not connect on passes and penalties put them behind the sticks a lot. I think Varina will impose there will early 35-7 Blue Devils
King George is flat out too much for Courtland! Only way Courtland can win this is if they slow the game down and get first downs and score each position. 42-12 KG
I picked Salem here. However, if freshman qb Darling can play on Friday he could have the ability to pick Salems secondary apart and could give Salem a run for their money. The Spartans will also have to play well up front on the defensive line, as Hassan Akanbi is the leading rusher in the Winchester area.
Ehhh.. I mean sure. Wiggins and White were very good but I truly don’t see much drop off in Ky’Mani Carpenter and Gunnar Reagar on offense though. You can’t double one of them cause the other will make you pay. Gunnar will play early at the Naval Academy (wouldn’t be shocked if UVA offers him and Charles Johnson soon) and Ky’Mani will be a FBS DB but he’s played incredible at WR. Both kids are 6’1 and game changers in that Air Raid system. Still haven’t mentioned Charles Johnson who they’ll line up at WR and RB. He’s 6’2 going to UConn. Their offense is legit and the Battlefield has been horrible.
After following KG for the past 2 seasons, I believe Wiggins and White are missed more on defense. It was hard throwing in lanes because they always found the ball and made plays. KG misses that the most out of anything.
Amen @DinwiddieProud! One game at a time. @BoKnowsSports has Powhatan playing us tough and I agree. The Indians have a formidable QB, receiving corp, and two running backs.
Defensively, I am not sure they match up as well, but they played a very athletic Huguenot tough. I can tell you Coach Mills isn't overlooking Powhatan.
The "Pit" is a huge advantage and with the exception of the 2017 loss to a Mark Fisher led Louisa team, a #1 seeded General team is a tough out.
Salem's offense is rolling, averaging 62 pts a game over last 5 games. The defense shows signs of improvement (minus that debacle against Pulaski Co.) The playoffs will show if the defensive improvement is for real, or a product of playing not very good teams last few games.

If Handley's freshman pheonom qb Darling can not play. Salem will roll. If he can go his athletic ability and the way he can spin it Handley could be in until the end.
I know the Blacksburg radio guy went to Chancellor. That was mountaineer mark on VA Preps. He was excellent and has done several VHSL Championships as an announcer. Not to be confused with the stadium announcer. That guy was trying to be part of the show, instead of just presenting the information.
Oh I agree. Dinwiddie will have to stop KG’s offense too though. I think the biggest question mark is KG’s QB play which is why I asked that question in my last post. KG’s running game and WRs are legit as they come. May be the best collective skill group behind Huguenot.
