    Poor va high

    I don’t know much about Richmond area other than what friends out there tell me and they are coaching different sports or administrators. Some in the city or adjoining counties. Also a friend, now retired, who was once on the executive committee, says executive committee worries about setting a...

    February 5-7: Five games on tap involving Shenandoah District Teams

    Some areas of the state still have district tournaments while others go directly to regionals. Because of SBO’s forcing teams to play schools within a county or immediate area, regardless of classification just to save on transportation cost or simple convince. Out here in East Tennessee and...

    Any word on Brookville coaching search?

    C’ville is a sleeping giant. A need for a good administrative staff from top to bottom. Strong super needed, strong principal needed, as well as strong staff. Think the interim principal is a great man with high standards. At one time some really good athletes there. I’m sure there are still...

    2A Contenders?

    Good question. 😂😂 I was just trying to remember did in anyone from East Rock or Stuarts Draft raise cane when they lost to JM in the semifinals or finals. Think SD game was something like 130ish toe low 100ish. May be wrong just trying to remember. Think ER played JM two or three times.

    2A Contenders?

    Yes things have changed. As late as the mid-late 1990’s you couldn’t work with your kids as a paid coach by the school division out of seasons. Exception was summer camps on college campus or sponsored camps but not travel tournaments. We all had kids playing summer leagues coached by parents...

    2A Contenders?

    Who deserves blame for JM dominance probably should be the governing bodies. That is the VHSL and the city of Richmond school board. Tighten up enforcement of rules or the impact of recruiting, that is if JM is actually doing that. If Richmond has open enrollment policies, then not much you can...

    2A Contenders?

    JM did ask to play up. Denied by VHSL. Heard from a friend, once connected with the upper echelon of power, the VHSL thought it would set a bad precedent. Imagine that - no backbone like a jellyfish. One solution might be go back to the way it once was when I began coaching many years ago. A...

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    Let’s look back a few years. Seems like Goochland won 2 titles and a runner up, Grenta won 2 and maybe 3 or 4 in that 30 year span, Wilson Memorial and Stuart’s Draft were runner ups as well as Harrisonburg and Turner Ashby had championships in what is now D3. Let’s face facts high school...

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    We’ll said. I can’t think of any COACH who wouldn’t have loved to of been on Salem yesterday. People can talk on here and offer opinions about a team’s offense or defense or whatever, unless you spend 60 plus hours per week planning, film study, preparation of practice plans, washing practice...

    State Championship, Riverheads vs Radford. Who you got?

    What’s going on. Always been a class act. Win or loose.

    Class 2 Championship

    We can go on here and compare both programs, athletes from both, and say one is better than the other. Both got to this great moment by doing what they believe in. Seen RH in the past at Salem and really like what they do. Don’t know very much about Radford, However in my much younger days saw...

    Class 2 Championship

    No one ever accused the VHSL upper echelons or those decision makers with Dr. in front of their names, making common sense decisions. But it’s that way out here in Tennessee also.

    Galax at Honaker

    True must be 1A to win. Maybe the reference was toward Riverheads and the magical 474.5 numbers for years. 😂😂 Hopefully the reference wasn’t aimed toward Essex, Twin Springs, Buffalo Gap, Sussex, or Brunswick.

    All Region B Teams…

    Poquoson travels to Riverheads?

    That 2010 for both Richlands and Poqouson both had a lot of talented players. Think not had several kids to go onto various universities and played several sports. If memory holds me correct Richlands led at halftime. Poqouson came out and ran the ball heavily while Richlands relied on the...

    Poquoson travels to Riverheads?

    Anytime RIverheads takes on someone, from what I’ve seen on film and a few times in Salem, I have to give them a nod as being the favored. Offense is unique. A combo of wing t and double wing double tight. Their on unique blend and very well executed. Think it’s just like in the old days when...
