    Franklin County..

    They're leaving. FC lost 3% of its population from the 2010 census to the 2020 census. They had a population boom for decades from the 70s until the 10s but did nothing with the growth. Now you've got a ridiculously big county with a single high school serving a lot of poor people but being...

    Franklin County..

    They never have skill position talent and rarely have speed. They want a slugfest every game, every year. They're not equipped for shootouts so when they get down everyone knows the deal and teams can pile on them. Get up 14 early on them and their gameplan is done and you can coast on 'em.

    What Happened at Glenvar?

    Good for the refs. You want to bemoan calls, fine, whatever as long as you keep your language in line with the attendants of the event but keep your dopey butt in the seats unless it's going to and from your car. Honestly, I hope a fanbase goes over the line twice for the purposes of making an...

    Chris Cole is now a 5*

    Apparently did very well in practices for the UA game. 247 bumped him up individually to a 5* and #23 in the country and in the composite he is #31 with a 5* ranking. Would probably expect his composite to rise, I believe 247 is the first to re-rank after the all-star stuff. Grats to the kid...

    Any word on Brookville coaching search?

    If the whole staff is out, might be wise of them to seek out a young (potentially very) coach and let him build something unless they can pull some slam dunk hire out of a hat that assistants will flock to by name/rep.

    What surprised you most, college edition

    Next guy is essentially pre-fired already. I'd take the job if I was them, just make sure you get that Jimbo Fisher 100% guaranteed contract to make it worthwhile.

    Josiah Persinger, Salem, receives D1 offer

    This makes more sense from a film perspective at least. He's got great ball skills as a corner and tremendous speed. I've just been excited to see him finally get to be RB1 for us so I was only thinking about that aspect.

    Josiah Persinger, Salem, receives D1 offer

    Some may raise an eyebrow over a backup getting an offer like this but I'm telling you right now this kid will turn heads next season. Great speed and incredible vision which combos with his cutting abilities to make him very difficult to tackle in the open field. Only reason he isn't a three...

    What surprised you most, college edition

    Every single 10+ win G5 school lost their bowl. 9 teams came in and faced reality and went home, tail between their legs. This is what happens when your best wins are nobody U and directional Nothing colleges. Schedule like you've got a pair so your kids don't get humiliated continually in their...

    What surprised you most, college edition

    Yep. Should be best since 2016 if not a bit further back. Entire O returns, D gets some much needed upgrades. Should be favored in 10-11 games. 9-3 or 10-2 next year imo.

    VT ends the season on big high notes, culminating with a 21 point win over an 11-2 top 25 Tulane.

    JMU B&Ming to no end to go bowling and they come out and grab the mic and lay the wettest fart you've ever heard. Good job, buckos.

    C4 All State team

    Very happy for Jaelyn Allen. Wasn't sure whether Salem would be able to get both LBs listed 1st team. Congrats to all the recipients, well earned from all. Curious to hear if people have any misses or slights.

    - VT with a quality day in the portal. - Nebraska flips Dylan Raiola from UGA which is insane - ODU blew a 28-0 lead

    What’s the deal with Liberty?

    DIII and ODAC member Roanoke College has revived its football team and will play its games at Salem Stadium FWIW.

    What surprised you most, college edition

    This isn't an overall bad thing for VT in this circumstance. They're returning almost everyone of value (only a couple dominoes left to fall) so they're really only going to need to use the portal sparingly for spot adjustments, not a wholesale replacement like you saw last year. This is also...

    HS Football Rankings by State

    Creekside was also one of the "worst" schools on MD's schedule, too. What's wild is how SJB beat Mater Dei 28-0 in the regular season then gets walloped by them 35-7 in the title game. That's a crazy swing between two teams that talented.

    HS Football Rankings by State

    "Play with anybody" is a cute phrase that has no basis in reality. OS 2021 pitched 6 shutouts, never gave up more than 17, and 63 points total in 14 games while routinely scoring 50+ and never fewer than 42. That was a really good OS team, period. It's key to note that I mentioned 14 games...
