    Screen names!!

    On VA Preps since ‘99, not a big poster for years now but still lurk and read to stay in touch with game and happenings. Graduated from Stafford in ‘81 and am old and our moniker is Indian so hence the nickname. Athletic highlight - was a professional duckpin bowler for three years (lol) and...

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    I can tell you that DeMatha went 3-1 against Stafford from 76-79 (played in the one win and one loss), they also went 2-0 against James Monroe in 78-79 (vaguely remembered this, confirmed on four seasons football site. Never thought about it back then but we played DeMatha, Good Counsel...

    Good Time for First Virginia Champions Playoff!

    Dinwiddie, Phoebus, Highland Springs, Freedom, combined 60-0, all fast, strong, powerful, - would make for an unbelievable tournament! Not meant to diminish Riverheads and Graham - would like to see them play too!

    Who Is The Greatest Virginia NFL Product?

    Yeah, I liked him and the Over the Hill Gang a lot! He made a crazy number of Pro Bowls, like 10-plus but is somehow under rated and lost to history!

    Who Is The Greatest Virginia NFL Product?

    That’s a great question! I have to go with LT too! So many good ones - VA could field an amazing team. Willie Lanier (Maggie Walker), Hall of Fame middle linebacker for Kansas City, 60-70’s was a great football player! Some WR’s - Toon and Harvin as mentioned, Torry Smith from my high school...

    Highland Springs Region C vs. Maury Region B

    Springer76 - thanks for sharing that video! It took me back to 1978, my first year of varsity football - made my day (along with a hug from my 8 year old daughter - yep, I’m almost 60 with an 8 year old.! Loved the soundtrack. I remembered Annandale was 1 but it had slipped my mind how great...

    State Championship Region B Dinwiddie vs. Region C Kettle Run

    Loudoun schools can have wide fluctuations in numbers due to prodigious growth and opening of multiple new schools on a regular basis with the usual boundary changes. They open a new school with 900 in grades 9-11 and in two years it will have 1900 plus. It doesn’t help that there is literally...

    HSHS 34 Martinsburg 3

    Belated congratulations to HS in the two statement wins! Amazing last few years! I expect they will handle CF by 6 or so touchdowns - can’t get a gauge on them but I don’t think they are as good as usual despite losing a close one to Stone Bridge, even if they were as good, not getting close...

    Where to eat…, again!

    I have great empathy for Bleeding Navy and his parents and will have good thoughts and prayers for them. My elderly mom is in hospice care, been a real struggle since April so I feel their pain. Dinwiddie - if you guys ever come back to Fredericksburg to play James Monroe or anyone else -...

    Where to eat…, again!

    Mason-Dixon is excellent, definitely pick over Sam’s (which actually is okay). Fatty’s Tap House on Garrisonville Road is really good and so El Charro Grande near intersection of Route 1 and Garrisonville Road. Don’t know Hot Chkn Kitchen but name intrigues me and will have to try! Allow time...

    Forfeits vs Cancellations

    Noticed some games are being called forfeits with schools getting wins or losses while others are just cancelled - assuming all are COVID related- anybody know why difference?

    Gar-Field High School

    Stafford may have had an advantage that Gar-Field might not possess - in '52, Stafford High opened as the successor to the old Falmouth High School and inherited that lineage including the colors and name "Indians" - the Falmouth area could be described as southeastern Stafford, which along with...

    James Monroe releases Serbay

    I think that those people in the school/school board cabal that took this action should be ashamed of themselves (but I doubt that they will be). My favorite Serbay memory - I was a freshman at Stafford, Serbay was the OL coach there and worked with wrestling and baseball too but anyway, me...
