    Way too early football talk. Who should be the top teams in each region?

    It is NEVER too early to talk football! Riverheads should be in the mix as always although I understand that they have to replace almost the entire line. But they return the quarterback, the kicker, a very good defensive end, and as usual, an entire stable of running backs. The three that...

    Shenandoah District Baseball....Who's Hot This Year?

    The season has crept up on me but three of our teams jump into action Monday the 11th, so let's talk about who might be the teams to watch this year. Most years the 'Doah is wide open and anybody can beat anybody on a given afternoon. Then when the time comes, the teams splinter off into three...

    Poor va high

    Many of these places are names only to me, so I may be speaking out of turn, but there is JM, that Paul place, Miller School, Oak Hill, Covenant, St. Anne's, and maybe quite a few others out there that are not public schools. Some are in fact known for their strong athletic programs preparing...

    BOYS QF: JM 120 Clarke County 57 - FINAL

    I have never seen JM play so all I have to go on are the comments seen on here over the years, in which the consensus opinion is that they do not belong at the 2-A level and apparently never will. So if it is not an even playing field for the other teams in 2-A, plus JM apparently has no problem...

    BOYS QF: JM 120 Clarke County 57 - FINAL

    Or about this variation........let JM score the first points, then sit all your players down on the floor at center court and refuse to play. That way JM could inbound after every five second call, then dunk or score any way they like, and over a 32 minute game, they could score a thousand or...

    Wild Ending in Penn Laird!

    Just finished watching Western Albemarle at Spotswood. The Warriors led by 8 at the end of the third and Spotswood tried to win it from behind the arc. They closed to within three at 50-47 and had 6 1/2 seconds to shoot a tying triple. They passed the ball around and took too long to get the...

    All 5 Shenandoah District Boys Teams Now Eliminated

    Although they were competing in three different classifications, all five of the Shenandoah District teams that had advanced to regional play have now been eliminated. Wilson was the first to go, as they were badly whipped Friday night in a Region 3-C quarterfinal by Spotswood. That same...

    Wilson Edges Fort to Create Three Way Tie

    After I responded to you, I looked at the Staunton Leader website. They now have the complete schedule for all area teams that will be in playoffs EXCEPT for Region 2 B. So for some reason, that region is a little slow on the uptake. Some playoffs start as early as Friday night. Another detail...

    Wilson Edges Fort to Create Three Way Tie

    I just read that Wilson knocked off Fort Defiance tonight 97-91 to create a three-way tie for second place in the Shenandoah District. The two of them along with Stuarts Draft each finished 8-4 in district play, four games behind Staunton's 12-0 district mark. Since there is no district...

    Staunton Storm Turns Back Spunky Effort From Riverheads

    Tonight's regular season finale in the Paul Hatcher gym had the potential to be an all-out massacre. The homestanding Storm was celebrating Senior Night, they were looking to finish a perfect 12-0 in the district, and the guests were the Riverheads Gladiators, a team they had already beaten...

    Shenandoah District Has Four More Games to Tie Up Some Loose Ends

    The regular season was originally scheduled to wrap up tonight (Monday the 12th) but there will also be one make-up game on Wednesday night. After that, several of our teams will await their seeding for regional playoffs. Staunton has of course claimed the district title, but the next three...

    Buffalo Gap "Technically" Beats Riverheads 59-55

    These two teams have been going at it for over 60 years, so you would think we would have seen everything by now, but tonight's game between these two arch-rivals may have topped them all in terms of weirdness. The visiting Bison walked away with the four-point win but not before we saw a whole...

    Senior Nights Highlight Shenandoah District "Super Bowl" Weekend Games

    Who cares about the Super Bowl when you could be thinking instead about high school basketball? We are heading into the home stretch, to the point that some area teams will have their final home game this weekend and therefore will presumably salute their seniors. However in one case, Senior...

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

    TS69: It was always that way here in the Valley when we had tournaments. The regular season champ would get an automatic berth into the regionals and usually as a high seed. The tournament winner, or runner-up, would get the second regional bid. By the way, the original question was about the...

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

    What year was it when Lee lost to Jefferson Senior at least three times during the season but then beat them when it counted the most?

    Waynesboro Squeezes Past Riverheads 53-52

    Two teams that are each absolutely desperate to end their season on as positive a note as possible collided in Waynesboro tonight, where they fought tooth and nail and exchanged scoring spurts until the homestanding Little Giants escaped with the narrow one-point victory. With the win...
