I will start and will likely surprise some Salem fans. Coach Steve Oliver came from Lucy Addison and joined Willis White's staff at Patrick Henry-Roanoke in the early 80's. In fact, so did Mike Andrews who was also a favorite of mine. The entire coaching staff was rock solid on the field, but also in the classroom. For those who don't know our coaches were freaking smart. Coach White taught Calculus, Coach Andrews taught Latin, and Coach Oliver taught Geography. Coach Oliver was such a sound motivator. He rarely yelled and always kept you focused. He was a nervous nellie and smoked the heck out of cigarettes. I actually grew fond of him in the wrestling room. He pushed me hard, but always believed in me. He outweighed me by 100 pounds, but would pound on me in practice. On one occassion he hit his finger on my forehead and dislocated his pinky. He went down and I laughed my tail off. We put a tongue depressor and some tape on it and went back at it. I remember in 1982 two of us qualified for the AAA state championships in VA Beach. The school refused pay for our hotels or meals, so my father and Mike Helvey's father paid for Coach Oliver, Coach Sislers and our rooms for two night.. We road down in an old van that belonged to coach Sisler. I think it may have had a playboy bunny window in it. lol We didn't have much money for meals , so after weigh in Coach Oliver took us to his mother's home in Portsmouth and she fed us. We not only had success on the mat we had fun getting to know both coaches a lot better. I will forever be grateful for his guidance and kindness.

#GoRedDevils

I only watched bits and pieces on NFHS but this looked like a classic battle played before a capacity crowd. HV won the first two sets, but Fort stormed back to make a game of it. They won the third set by something like 25-21 or maybe 25-22 before HV came back to clinch the match with a tense 26-24 victory. Needless to say, if the Lady Indians had been able to tie it at 2 sets each, it would have made for a wild final set.

Still a great season for Fort Defiance as always. As for HV, they advance to the state finals and I believe I have read that they are undefeated. Volleyball being what it is, that is quite an accomplishment.

Does anyone have the set scores for Auburn/Giles and Rappahannock/Rappahannock County?

Rappahannock v Auburn - State Volleyball Championship this Saturday in Salem at 2:15 pm.

Auburn goes for its 4th State Championship in a row!

Rappahannock has never won a volleyball state championship!

In fact, no Northern Neck district school (6 teams) has ever won states.

I don't think any NND team has ever even made it to the title game either (correct me if someone did make it that far at some point)

Can the Tigers give Big Red a game ? Will the weather be a factor in this one ? Anyone ?

Gunz41 and gladiators01 both tied with 21 this week. Gunz41 picked no points in tie breaker so gladiators01 gets the bonus point and extends the lead!

2021: 13-1, state runner up
2022: 2-8, no playoffs

What happened here? Graduating a QB who is going P5 definitely hurt the Spartans but got damn, that may be the biggest fall off of any team in Virginia history.

nm

Any word on any head football job openings?

Aug Sep Oct, " Appo has no chance against Radford this year." "Radford wins if they meet by 2 TDs at least." "This year its Radford and everybody else in C."

I read some of these comments earlier on and warned the Raiders will be different come mid November and dangerous, and that Radford was certainly not the only team in C that could win the region. Now, all of a sudden, the above statements earlier in the year don't have the same meaning or emotional pull they once had. I think most now realize the difference in teams was not close to the gap many thought it to be, and that the final 4 teams in Region C are very close and ANY of the 4 can win it.

I favor Radford over Appo in our game, but no surprise whatsoever if it's neck and neck in the final minute. I would be surprised if either team were to win by more than 8 pts. Going to be a heck of a game and the Bobcats better be ready for a first class opponent coming to town. To be the man, you have got to beat the man, and so far, nobody in C seems to be beating the man. Hopefully we can turn it around and get a W. It's going to be close.

Even though the game is at Martinsville, I think Glenvar gets the win by 7. Glenvar is one of those teams that has come together, is clicking on all cylinders, and believes in themselves. They will be a tough out from here on out.

If anyone could post the set scores for the volleyball quarters today, I'd certainly appreciate it. I do, however, realize this is primarily a football board.

Dinwiddie vs. Hanover will be played Saturday @ 1:30 @ Dinwiddie
