These two teams were supposed to have played last night in a game that was previously scheduled for September 30th. However, on Score Stream it said the game was canceled and it also said the same thing on the Amelia Public Schools Facebook page. Then I look on Max Preps and it has it awarded to Nottoway by forfeit. We all know that Max Preps isn't always reliable on things like that. Is there anyone who can confirm if this was indeed a forfeit win for Nottoway or just a canceled game. Either way this will affect the points in power rankings as Amelia was probably favored to win the game, plus Nottoway is only playing a 9 game schedule to begin with.

This was posted over on the VIP section, but it’s news that everyone should have access to.
Mr Gillespie was one of the finest human beings that ever graced this earth. His accomplishments in high school sports were recognized by the supreme power in high school sports, the NFHS, by inducting him into their hall of fame. But that is just a small part of what, and who, he was. He was a leader by example, a mentor, a visionary, a confidant, but most of all, he was a friend to any and all. If ever there was a person that nobody could find anything bad to say about, it was Mr. Gillespie.



Former VHSL Executive Director Earl Gillespie Left a Lasting Legacy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 10, 2024

Earle Gillespie joined the VHSL staff in 1961 as the League's first assistant executive secretary and later served as Executive irector from 1986 until his retirement in 1994.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The VHSL is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Earl Gillespie, a member of the Virginia High School League (VHSL) staff for 34 years and Executive Director from 1986 until his retirement in 1994, on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Mr. Gillespie devoted a lifetime to the Virginia High School League as a High School athlete, educator, coach, athletic director, and a basketball and football official.
“Earl Gillespie left a substantial, meaningful, and lasting imprint on VHSL high school athletics and activities,” said VHSL Executive Director Dr. John W. “Billy” Haun, Ed.D. “He devoted a lifetime to serving the youth of Virginia in his capacity as the first assistant executive secretary and executive director. His impact was, and will remain, immense. He will be greatly missed.”
Born on August 19, 1929, in Wildwood, Tennessee, Gillespie graduated from Coeburn High School in 1948. After a tour of duty in the United States Air Force, he graduated from Washington & Lee University and earned a Master of Education degree from the University of Virginia. He then returned to Coeburn to coach football, baseball and basketball and serve as the school's athletic director.
In 1961 Gillespie assumed duties as the first assistant executive secretary of the VHSL, a post he held until being named the League's executive director in 1986. He was also the state's first supervisor of officials. Noted for his work over a 30-year period as a basketball and football official; he continues to contribute as an ACC basketball officials observer.
Especially noteworthy among his accomplishments was spearheading the efforts to create a state athletic directors association; expanding the playoffs in football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, field hockey, tennis and wrestling; promoting growth in girls athletic programs; instituting a catastrophic insurance plan for student athletes, area eligibility meetings for administrators, corporate sponsorship to benefit the League, and the Virginia High School Hall of Fame.
Gillespie's contributions at the national level included service as a member and vice-president of the Executive Committee of the National Federation of State High School Associations; as the senior member of the National Federation's Football Rules Committee; and as a member of its Basketball Rules Committee, Baseball Rules Committee, Insurance Committee and Appeal Board.
Numerous organizations have honored Gillespie, and he has received Outstanding Service Awards from the Virginia High School Coaches Association and the Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association; awards for service to the National Federation's Football and Baseball Rules Committees; and Distinguished Service Awards from the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association and the National Federation Interscholastic Coaches Association.
In 1994, he was inducted into the Virginia High School Hall of Fame and was selected for induction into the 2005 class of the National High School Hall of Fame.

I will update after the Monday game between Central Woodstock and Clarke County

Who wins in week 2 matchups and your thoughts on the games

Madison vs central
Clarke vs page
Strausburg vs luray

1. Maury
2. Phoebus
3. Hayfield
4. Oscar Smith
5. James Madison
6. Kings Fork
7. Green Run
8. LCA
9. Huguenot
10. Dinwiddie

All quiet on the home front. Massive games these next couple weeks for Huguenot, Kings Fork, & Smith!! The seasons really almost over already where did the time go 🥺

We are breaking in a couple of new guys, what tips do you offer as officials?

Does the updated Point Ratings come out tommorow?

So both teams in 2 weeks should be 7-0. With CC playing Page and Strasburg playing Luray this Friday. Should be a huge game at Clarke. I haven't seen any games for Strasburg, just seen comments but coming into the season I figured the district would come down to this game. Both teams love to run the ball and play good defense. Any thoughts? I know so far the only common opponent is KW. That will change this week once CC plays page

Essex vs Rappahannock
William Campbell vs Chatham
Northumberland vs Lancaster
Altavista vs Dan River
Brunswick vs Southampton
Buffalo Gap vs Wilson Memorial
Giles vs George Wythe
Narrows vs Parry McCluer
Hurley vs Thomas Walker
Rural Retreat vs Lebanon

GOTW- Eastside vs Rye Cover (Winner and Points total please)

Week 7 is over and we have some interesting storylines that we need to pay more attention to!

Rappahannock pulls off the upset over Essex 13-8 in which the two highest scoring teams in Region A put on a defensive battle form the looks of the score. Would love to know a little more details about this game. Rappahannock has placed themselves amongst the title contenders in 1A.

Rye Cove is another surprising storyline with their beat down of Eastside. Coming into the season Rye Cove and Rappahannock were after thoughts and now it seems that they will have a say in who will be standing in Salem in December.

Altavista continues to cruise with blowout win over Dan River in which they touched the 70pt mark. Hopefully they don't get complacent bc there isnt much infront of them until they get to the Region B championship or State Semifinals.

George Wythe came into the year with high hopes but stumbled early. It looks like they have the train back on the tracks and are poised to make a deep playoff run.

Buffalo Gap has struggled as of late with 2 L's in a row. With Riverheards up next that number will probably climb to 3 in a row.

Northumberland has been flying under the radar all year and with their only Loss coming to an undefeated Bruton team. They are 4-1 and will take on Essex this week coming off their 1st regular season loss in 26 games. Does Northumberland have what it takes to give Essex its 2nd loss in a row?

I can't be the only one excited to talk about 1A Football...Chime in and join the conversation

Clarke up 13-0 with 9 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. A long 9 minute drive for their first TD and the second came after Woodstock turned it over on their own 14.
