Rise Academy won the opening game of the Highland Springs Winter Showcase by defeating Dinwiddie 74-64. Senior Nathaniel Seaborn made six 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 26 points to earn MVP honors. He also had four steals.

The game wasn't as close as the final score. The Guardians led 43-20 at halftime thanks to four 2nd quarter treys from Seaborn. A three by Devonte Atkins gave Rise Academy a 53-32 lead late in the 3rd quarter. He finished with 15 points and five assists. Senior point guard Trevonte Atkins added 18 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals while making three treys.

Dinwiddie made the final score respectable by outscoring Rise Academy 24-9 in the 4th quarter. Mykiel Johnson came of the bench to lead the Generals with 16 points on 7 of 11 shooting. Joshua Collins (13 points) and Shannon McDowell (10 points) also scored in double figures.

It is easy for any person to stand back and bring up someone else's faults, mistakes, character flaws, mistakes, character flaws, convictions, sins or whatever while acting as if they have lived the life of perfection and only challenged by Jesus Christ himself. Again, I am related to multiple idiots that think, act and live just like that.

For some strange reason masses of people are ok having and or forming fandom, partnerships, memberships or any relationship with groups, corporations or organizations that have committed some of the worst of the worst offenses and atrocities in human history, only to boo hoo the person that points it out. You complain about individual NFL football players making mistakes but turn a willful blind eye to the billionaire owners and the actions of the NFL. You better believe they are not wearing your jersey.

Some of you are ok with Virginia public schools having working relationships with the Catholic Church's Catholic schools.

As an aside many men are quick to say, "If so and so did that to my family member I would _________."

Really? Would you really? No you wouldn't. You know what you would do? Keep reading.

Being a member of that particular organization. Not having an issue with Freedom or any Virginia public school playing against them or not being under a stated protest opens you up to whatever can and will happen because nothing else is worse. I posted this fact prior to Freedom playing DeMatha while stating that the game would be proven to be a colossal waste of time. It was. It was stopped by a literal act of God. 🤭 Even Him, Her, He or She didn't like it. Sent cha packing.

If you are ok with anything the Catholic Church does (and evidently, they have done a whole lot) then you gotta be ok with the entire population of the city/town of Woodbridge, Virginia living in Woodbridge but attending Hayfield High School and football practice each and every day of the week. There is nothing any man, woman or child has done that is worse than what the Catholic Church, Michigan State and Penn State has done and yet they continue to be things that exist and operate in America. Note Dame still has the best sports TV deals, one of the most powerful alumni while consistently possessing a so-so and, at times; subpar football team.

If any man, woman or child did what those awful organizations are accused of doing you would (yes YOU) be the first person running down I95 with a torch and pitch fork in hand. Yet some of you would not hesitate to giddily hand over your son with the hope that he will become a part of the 0.0062%. People wonder why children run the streets committing crimes. They are following the leaders.0

Our standards and morals have been flushed down a filthy, rotten and disgusting toilet. Expect more of less. Bad does not get better. If you are ok with this less than then Darryl Overton and any high school football coach in Virginia can flaunt the rules right in your face and you have to take it. I have a Darryl problem in my family that I have dealt with. You are probably just gonna have to let him be who he is and just live with it. That's what I do.

What are ya gonna do about it? Maybe type a lot of words on Virginia Preps?
Complain about me complaining again?
Danger Will Robinson. Our standards of what we will take/accept and not take action or a stand against is lower than the lowest low. I don't care how you feel about me, you are dealing with the actual Devil but it is in life and football.

1.7 trillion dollars of insurmountable debt due to pointless and useless educations but you mad at Darryl Overton cause he wins football games.

You are not gonna do anything about anything. You go for anything. You stand for nothing. It has been proven.

The Friday session of the Riverheads Holiday Tournament, also known as the Augusta County Invitational, is in the books as fans were treated to a pair of afternoon barn burners on the JV level, and then a couple of blowouts on the nighttime varsity level. As a result of those blowouts, the Rappahannock County Panthers, 55-34 winners over Buffalo Gap, will now take on the homestanding Gladiators in tomorrow night's championship game. Riverheads manhandled Stonewall Jackson 79-23 in tonight's finale to set up that meeting.

By far the best game of the day was the 2:30 opener. Stonewall Jackson had a 31-27 lead over the Buffalo Gap JVs with less than a minute left. However the Generals only managed one point the rest of the way. The Bison crawled back to within 32-30 and sent Stonewall to the foul line with 4.1 seconds left. The Generals could have clinched the win but the guy missed both foul shots. The Bison grabbed the rebound and headed up court. Sorry I did not catch the player's name, but he crossed midcourt and let it fly. The ball stripped the net perfectly for a stunning 33-32 Bison win and their small crowd of fans let out a war whoop that I doubt they even thought they were capable of. It was by far the highlight play of the whole day.

The next two games were the pride of the Panthers, the team that made the longest trip of the day. They first took on the Riverheads JVs in the 4:00 contest. The Gladiators scored first but then RappCo jumped out to a 5-2 lead and from that point on, the lead fluctuated between 2 and 7 points the rest of the way. Every time it looked like Rapp Co would pull away, Riverheads would rally and cut into the lead. The Gladiators finally trimmed the lead to a single point at 38-37 on eighth-grader Sam Jarvis' third triple of the second half.

That sent Rapp Co to the foul line where Brayden Compton, also just an eighth-grader, calmly sank a pair of foul shots to make the score 40-37. Riverheads had 15 seconds left to try to tie things up but could not get a decent enough shot as Rapp Co held on for the hard-fought win.

Next up was the varsity game between Buffalo Gap and RappCo. The Bison were able to hang around for maybe 2 1/2 quarters but the Panthers wore them down in the latter stages. Rapp Co's biggest weapon appeared to be sophomore center Jason Deal. He was quoted on the roster as being 6'3" but he looks more like 6'6". The Bison could not contain him and he even stepped outside once for a triple, so he will be a challenge for the Big Red tomorrow night.

Speaking of Riverheads, their win over Stonewall tonight was not only a few points better than their 48 point blowout on the road earlier this season, but it was probably one of Riverheads' all-time biggest margins of victory. (Haven't had time to look that up yet.)

After an early 2-2 tie, the Gladiators poured it on just about every way it could be poured on. To highlight the statistics, all ten players scored in the game, four of them hit for double figures including a career-high 10 points for freshman Jaxon Duff, and five players combined to hit 11 three-pointers.

Perhaps the happiest guy in the gym was senior Will Gardner, who needed a confidence boost after a couple of sub-par showings the last couple of times out. He missed his first three attempted triples tonight but he kept shooting as the experts tell you to do and the next one went in. He went on to score a team-high 17 points, which included three of those 11 triples. The other two double-digit scorers were J P Crawford with 14 and Henley Dunlap with 11.

Saturday's session begins again at 2:30 with what should be two more competitive JV games. The JVs by the way are not playing for a trophy. Instead their match-ups were pre-set. Rapp Co and Buffalo Gap will play at 2:30 and Riverheads will tangle with Stonewall around 4:00.

BG and Stonewall will then meet in the consolation game at 6:00, which should favor the Bison. Then RHS and RappCo will battle for the championship around 7:30. On paper that one would appear to come down to the Big Red's outside shooting against Deal's inside presence.

Happy Holidays to all. Here are my personal rankings for Class 4 this week!

1. Churchland (6-1)
2. Atlee (8-0)
3. GW Danville (7-0)
4. Varina (2-1)

6. Hampton (6-2)
7. Monacan (6-1)

9. Broad Run (7-2)
10. Eastern View (6-1)

Hopefully this doesn’t get deleted…

I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but I’m glad he found a platform to speak his side.

Who are the teams with the chances to make it to Salem next year?

Region A: Essex and Rappahannock both return lots of key players including Holmes, Stewart and Bundy for Essex and Madison and Kelly for Rapp.

Region B- Riverheads will definitely be the favorite in B. I know Altavista loses Stone, but do return some other key players. Unsure on what Buffalo Gap returns, but they played Altavista tough this year

Region C- Grayson returns the QB Goad and his twin brother. George Wythe is always in the mix. Look for these two to battle it out in C.

Region D- Eastside returns a lot from a good team this year, including their RB Hamilton, who is only a sophomore. I know Rye Cove loses Lane, but do return some other key players.

Anything I'm off on or any team you want to add, please do so.
