    Region 5B In Fall of 2021

    Yes, they are losing money by running too many playoffs (the gates are paying for it).

    Interesting article by the RTD about transfers in HSFB

    I really don't mind kids transferring. I just the VHSL would revisit the rules so that it wasn't such a land mine for families to negotiate. I think the current rules encourage sneakiness more than discourage transferring.

    Officiating statewide

    I don't know why anyone is willing to do it. I know high school rules, but there is no way I would go do the training, pay the money for uniforms, etc. and then get yelled at for my time. It just isn't worth it. We've always given officials a hard time over the years, but I felt like when I was...

    HSHS 71 Maury 28

    Hey, don't out-coach yourself. You've got the better team and the better athletes then keep it simple.

    Manchester 45, Freedom 0 Can we just cancel this and get a Manchester vs. Highland Springs game?

    Class 5 Final Four

    I think they are going to get bracelets this year. They're running out of fingers.

    Manchester @ Ocean Lakes Thoughts on this semi??

    So you're saying Manchester is big, strong, fast and deep. Sounds good.

    Eastern View @ Louisa.... It's about time this happened......

    According to kids I know who played both teams, Eastern View is tougher. We'll see.

    Probably nowhere near as much.

    How 'bout them Flyin' Flucos?!

    They finally went down in a game they should have won. NEVER punt the football. Albemarle wins 14-13 on a punt return TD.

    Stone Bridge....

    I agree, somebody from up there will show up to play Highland Springs. There are very good teams up there and I am surprised no one had pulled off a title in the last five seasons. That being said. Springers are better than ever this year. Good luck to whoever has to play them.

    VHSL Reference Poll (Fantasy Game) Highland Springs vs Westfield

    They did the same thing to L.C. Bird when they were stacked. The people who do the National rankings either don't know what they're doing, are biased or have some ulterior motives. Private schools probably grease their palms in some way or another.

    VHSL Executive Committee Changes

    Pre 1970 (no playoffs of any kind for the vast majority of the time). There Group I, Group 2 and Group 3 schools. When the modern playoff era began there were three classes in all sports. A (1-500 students) AA (501-1000 students) AAA (1001 or more students) Eventually enrollements began...

    Bird vs Manchester

    I saw this one coming this year. Bird was winning with smoke and mirrors, Manchester was dominating everyone. I don't think Bird is bad. Most teams would trade seasons with them, obviously, but they are not and have not been contenders for a state title in 5A this year. Manchester could bring...

    How 'bout them Flyin' Flucos?!

    6-1 after stifling Powhatan's offense all day. Congrats on clinching a winning season, Flucos. It took the Flucos six seasons to get their previous six wins (2012-2017).

    Fluvanna 16 Powhatan 7 F

    Not at the game, but from what I understand Fluvanna is getting it done with defense and a grind it out offense that doesn't make many mistakes. The coach proves he's a genius by not having to prove he's a genius with flashy plays. Fundamentals will come through more often than not when two...

    Mascot Names

    My favorites in Virginia are the Flying Flucos, the Phantoms, the Justices, the Pointers, the Ponies, the Drifters, the Islanders. All pretty unique. Rapids, Blue Streaks, Little Giants, Pride are also good. A favorite from out of state is the Marblehead Magicians (they got the nickname when...
