Is there a date out or is there a preseason multiple scrimmage at Mitchell Stadium in 2023? The one time I went there for the event I really enjoyed myself. Great food, great atmosphere, great stadium. I really think it could be expanded to include Lord Botetourt, Salem and some other Southwestern schools or New River Valley schools. I think this could be a revenue source for the area, maybe more than one day. Great people.

Several school started today, others hit the field Monday. What’s everyone’s first day numbers look like?

My top 5:
1. 804
2. Roanoke/NRV
3. Lynchburg
4. 757
5. NoVA

I was wondering how are the private schools going to do in football and who are some of the best teams for 2023

One of Virginia's most prolific scorers from the Class of 2024 has decided on where to play his College Basketball.

Tey Barbour, a 6-foot-5 guard who spent his first three seasons at Osbourn High School in Manassas before transferring to Cedar Run rival Patriot High, has given a verbal pledge to Head Coach Tommy Amaker and the Harvard Crimson out of the Ivy League.

Barbour, who played on the travel circuit for DC Premier, not only is a top-notch performer on the hardwood, but in the classroom as well, maintaining a 4.2 GPA and has previously mentioned he's looking to study business finance in college.

"I felt like Harvard was the best option for me to succeed and be the best I can be," Barbour told VirginiaPreps.com. "Coach Amaker and the entire coaching staff has shown a lot of interest in me throughout the whole recruiting situation. It was a pretty easy decision because for me Harvard is a place where I feel I fit in best."

Since his freshman year when he drained 14 three-pointers and was a role player for the Eagles, Barbour's confidence has grown tremendously. He's a two-time First Team All-Region 6B performer and put up 17.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per contest with 50 made three-pointers during his sophomore year. Soon there after, interest began to trickle in from programs at the next level.



As a junior, Barbour scored 589 points over 24 games, an average of 24.6 per contest, to earn Cedar Run District Player of the Year honors. He also made a team-high 57 three-pointers. This off-season he has concenrated on working on his ball-handling, creating space off the dribble so he can get his shot off with greater ease as defenses try to run him off the three-point line and send multiple defender his way.

American, Lehigh, George Washington, Old Dominion and Richmond were among the other Division I programs in the picture for Barboour. As for Harvard, they're getting a natural shooting guard with ability to stretch the floor and o strike from behind the three-point line consistently.

"I don't know the exact plan yet, but Coach Amaker and me have gone over film about how he seems fitting fitting intho their system and I am excited for it," added Barbour, who in three seasons at Osbourn drained 121 3's.

"I feel like I can bring scoring and shooting to the team, but also a competitor who is going to get after it each day on both sides of the court."

Harvard has gone to the NCAA Tournament four times in Amaker's 16 seasons at the helm and won 20 games or more on seven different occasions. Amaker, who played in the 1983 McDonald's All-American Game before going on to Duke, is well familiar with talent from Virginia having starred at W.T. Woodson High in Fairfax.

Now Barbour's focus shifts towards helping Patriot take that next step and capture its first Class 6 State Championship. Last winter, the Pioneers fell to Hayfield in the Class 6 title game, 52-41, and converted only 1-of-12 three-point field goal attempts.

Patriot brings back a wealth of talent and experience, including a couple of returning starters from that run to the Class 6 Final in guard Dezmond Hopkins and lanky forward Isaiah Vick, a teammate of Barbour's during the AAU travel season.

Just heard they got a late transfer. Any news on who & where he transferred from?

Many of us remember the terrible situation that occurred in the NOVA - DC area in October 2002 with the sniper murders. Games were suspended and moved. On October 19, 2002 many NOVA schools played their scheduled games at "secret" locations for safety reasons. I have been able to find out where a handful of these games were played but not all of them by any means. I am looking for people that know where these games were played to record for historical reasons. Several were played at Monticello High outside of Charlottesville. Here is a list of the game locations that I am trying to find.

10/19 Annandale - Oakton - Salem Stadium
10/19 Centreville - R. E. Lee Springfield (John R. Lewis)
10/19 Chantilly - McLean
10/19 Fairfax - George Marshall
10/19 Falls Church - Thomas Jefferson
10/19 James Madison - Langley
10/19 James Robinson - T. C. Williams (Alexandria City)
10/19 Hayfield - Lake Braddock - I have it at Hayfield but I am skeptical
10/19 Park View - Stone Bridge
10/19 South Lakes - W. T. Woodson 4OT
10/19 West Springfield - West Potomac

If you absolutely know where any of these games were played please post.

I'll go first and may be way off.lol

4 comments,
9 Wins for the Warkhawks is asking quite a bit with what graduated and I am a Madison homer.
Edison Eagles with 9 wins? Hope they do, but that seems high although the schedule is favorable.
Robinson with 4 wins, seems low.
And Centreville with 4 wins, when was the last time they didnt win 5?

Any other thoughts on these?
