Started

The first posting of this seasons ratings are scheduled for next week. I anticipate a day or two delay because the weather will almost assuredly push a few games until Monday.

I’m posting this to the Class 1 and 2 threads because there are a lot more schools in these classes in SWV than elsewhere across the state.

There are an untold number of people putting together relief efforts for our neighbors in the affected areas of VA and NC. Today, my wife learned of a neighbor that was loading a trailer and headed to Damascus soon. She had read that some things get overlooked when considering what to send. A couple of items she saw that were needed where flat point shovels and heavy garden rakes. Also, 5 gallon plastic buckets. So she bought a bunch of these items and took them to our neighbor.

This brought me to ask you folks that are most closely associated with the disaster, what is needed that is being overlooked. Suggest it here and I’ll spread the word.

Thank you.

Rocktown getting that first victory.

Senseless violence that cost innocent kids on two football teams the chance to play a game. Meadowbrook/Matoaca cancelled because of a stabbing at Meadowbrook that had nothing to do with football. ( I don’t disagree that they needed to cancel the game, it’s just disgusting that kids trying to do right suffer because of punks.)

How about the shellacking that Amherst put on the Blue Streaks? Those Lancers are rounding into form.

Boy, how about that GW/MV game? I would have loved to be there for that one. GW fought from behind most of the game and made the plays when they had to. Making the win more amazing is that I was told that GW had 230 yards in penalties. I don’t know for a fact that that is accurate, but if it is, that’s amazing to overcome that. It also tells us that they better fix that problem fast and in a hurry.

Kings Fork dominating a good Indian River team made me take notice.

North Stafford beating Eastern View didn’t surprise me, but I’ll use this opportunity to say, “I told you so!” Nothing bad to say about Eastern View, it’s just that this NS team might be the most improved team in the state from last year.

Phoebus easily handled their long time rival Hampton today. That’s 40 wins in a row for the Phantoms.

I’ll close with Dinwiddie defeating Thomas Dale at Thomas Dale. The Knights and Generals played this game the way you want teams to do. They put it all out there on the field and didn’t hold back. And for a rivalry of this magnitude and importance, It was played clean and fair. I believe this was the best game Dinwiddie has played this season.(That speaks to how good TD is.) Their effort against Maury was probably as good, but it just didn’t show. The Generals were so over matched against the Commodores that even their best effort was overshadowed by what I truly believe is the best team in the state this year.

The Dinwiddie gang gathered at Sibleys BBQ in Chester for our traditional pre-game meal. I highly recommend Sibleys. Great food and great service. And locally owned, which I prize very highly.

Now it’s your turn. What caught your eye enough to make mention of it?

I’m posting this to the Class 1 and 2 threads because there are a lot more schools in these classes in SWV than elsewhere across the state.

There are an untold number of people putting together relief efforts for our neighbors in the affected areas of VA and NC. Today, my wife learned of a neighbor that was loading a trailer and headed to Damascus soon. She had read that some things get overlooked when considering what to send. A couple of items she saw that were needed where flat point shovels and heavy garden rakes. Also, 5 gallon plastic buckets. So she bought a bunch of these items and took them to our neighbor.

This brought me to ask you folks that are most closely associated with the disaster, what is needed that is being overlooked. Suggest it here and I’ll spread the word.

Thank you.

I am not very familiar with other regions outside of 4b. That being said, who do you think will have been battle tested come playoff time from each region? Who will have faced the most adversity?

For all the fans who watch games on TV and then yell at officials at high school games about automotic first downs, pass interference and various other rulings, here is a document that is just the major rules differences between high school and college football.

Pro rules are really different, That's hardly considered the same game, but I still hear about players "reporting as eligible" and coaches yelling about "contact past five yards."

NFHS and NCAA difference

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

Very impressive wins this weekend from Madison, Kings Fork, Green Run & Dinwiddie. The Top 3 continues to dominate as expected.

Next up: Glen Allen, Varina, Battlefield, Matoaca

Think it’s time for VA to crackdown and make the requirements for any head/assistant coaches to work in public education or for that locality’s government. None of that school security/cafeteria monitor bull jive either…If you need a teachers’ license and degree to teach, school counseling, or admin, you should have the same credentials as a coach working with middle/high school student athletes.
