No doubt they good, nobody makes it this far without being a quality team ready to hold up a trophy.Lee high has very good front seven on defense and really good backs to go along with quarterback be very tough game. Appo doesn’t come ready and focused could be upset in the making
Experience i would say EVEN. Appo has many positions on field with 1st time startersMore talented team: RE Lee
More experienced team: Appo
Better coached team: Appo
Give me RE Lee by 10. I would love to see Appo make it three in a row though!

Glad I'm not the only one that thought Poquoson looked small. I even went to their Hudl page to look up the lineman. Of the ones listed, they are as small as they look. Maybe they are really strong have have great technique. I don't know.I just watched the YouTube on them and guys let be the first one to say I just don't see it ! Appo has two blowouts in the finals and I see another one here!!!!!!! Just don't see that team being able to stop Appo and the defense has gotten so much better !! Was suprized that poquoson was so small and just not that good . Question if lee has played any thing comparable to Appo !! Appo by a lot I think !!!
Can I just say...I watched this whole video....WHAT A FREAKING GAME!!!!!!Lee has a bunch of game recaps on YouTube. Very well done too. I wish all schools had the capabilities or man power to put that kind of stuff out there.
I watched enough film on Lee against Buffulo Gap on YouTube, they have a very talented Offense and are quick, our D is quick also... Thing I saw was Buffulo Gap scored a lot on them and Lee had to match each score which they did to come out with the win. I see Appo O much more diverse then Buffulo Gaps O.... Now that the yrar has progressed Im sure Lees D has tightened uo, I can see that with the scores of the Luray games.... I see this as a good match up and may the best team win. I think it comes down to who plays smarter ball and which coaches toll the dice. I know Coach Smith is pretty good at dice. Lot of speed on both sides of the ball. Can't wait... WOOOOO ! Lets get it Raiders ! #Chasing3
After looking at the video and seeing Appo in person I think Appo by 20. But what I think means zeroGlad I'm not the only one that thought Poquoson looked small. I even went to their Hudl page to look up the lineman. Of the ones listed, they are as small as they look. Maybe they are really strong have have great technique. I don't know.
Lee does look very athletic, and this is the only video I have seen of either Lee or Poquoson, so this may not be an informed opinion, but if the championship game is close, I'll be surprised.
no lie i swear poquoson looked like middle school i thought it was a prank video man o man they looked real small and Unathletic lee looks alot better on grass but it was a highlight video how the hell did poquoson take them to ot???Glad I'm not the only one that thought Poquoson looked small.

Exactly. They had to be doing something right to stand toe to toe through 4 quarters and 1 OT.no lie i swear poquoson looked like middle school i thought it was a prank video man o man they looked real small and Unathletic lee looks alot better on grass but it was a highlight video how the hell did poquoson take them to ot???
re lee have any football championships? I know they have in other sports. This may make them hungry like it did us in 2015
no lie i swear poquoson looked like middle school i thought ma o man they looked real small andUnathletic
No doubt they were small but dang they are 100 proof!"Poq was small but they had heart!"
Year in and year out.
Tough group of young men is all i can say. They have heart like a rock.My brother, LOL, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that from the Poquosons opponents over the years. "You guys are so slow and unathletic, how do you beat us." That's classic Poquoson. Goochland fans said the same thing to me after the game. Poquoson kids have incredible football IQ and discipline, great position and sense of field space, and we are as well coached as anyone. ED can flat out coach. If you go by a clip of Poquoson or comparing seeing one team play and then Poquoson play, and then try to compare Poquoson to that team, it never works. Even when we are out talented (probably 10 out of our 13 games this year) we seem to almost always be in the gsme, somehow, someway, and usually we win them.
After the Union game which was a very good game the coaches huddle really addressed what has to be worked on. Union also made some eyes bulge out with our players and taught them a lesson they will learn from and correct this saturday. They will be bringing it to the line and taking it to Lee hard. They know they have to play all 4 quarters like it's the first second of the game, no mercy. The younger players backed off and played conservative in 2nd half. Hey thats kids but they see now how that is a major mistake. They will stay strong all 4 qtrs saturday.I think it will be a great game with two awesome QB's going heads up. If Appo plays to their potential for 4 quarters they will be ok. If they are not focused and take for granted that they are in the State Championship for the 3rd time they may be in trouble.
Should make for a very entertaining game!
Thank you for all this info, very insightful and enlightening. Where did you find the Wikipedia on RE Lee?AdvocateofMany434:
RE Lee does not have any State Championships in football post 1970, but there have historically been great basketball teams who have won state championships (both girls and boys), as well as good athletes in the school year in and year out fielding competitive teams for the other sports (track, and more recently soccer come to mind). The playoff system was different pre-1970, so only the really big schools had a playoff. The rest of us played the regular season games and called it a season. The 1962 team was really good and they went undefeated in the regular season and years later the administration hung a banner for that team that says State-Champions, but they didn't actually play in a State Championship game. The '62 team had one close game with Parry McCluer (19-13 win), but the average score for the other games was 39 to 5.
There have been some other good Lee teams over the years. The 60s was the best decade for RE Lee football which is unfortunate as there was no playoff for them and most of their accomplishments are swept under the rug and forgotten about. They had teams go:
7-2 (1961)
9-0 (1962)
9-1 (1963)
8-1 (1964)
7-1-1 (1965)
8-0-1 (1967)
7-3 (1969)
The 90's, 00's and this decade have been pretty competitive years as well, although basketball has had more success. Lee has always historically been thought of as a basketball school and a lot of that credit goes to bball coaching legend Paul Hatcher. The rumor was that Lee athletes played great football until the basketballs started bouncing in November, and then they were ready to get indoors and hit the hardwood. The "streak" teams (the 85 game win streak bball teams) in particular had the talent to advance in the playoffs, but they were anxious to get to basketball as those were some really great bball teams. Here are some of the top records from the football teams since the 90s:
11-2 (1990, second state semi appearance)
8-3 (1994)
7-4 (1999)
10-1 (2000, this team went undefeated in the regular season, beating state runner up TA, but lost in R1 of playoffs to Handley by 3 points...this team really had the potential to win a 'ship but had an early exit)
7-4 (2001)
7-3 (2004)
7-4 (2005, beat eventual State Champ TA in the regular season, but lost in R1 of playoffs to them)
10-2 (2006)
8-4 (2007)
9-3 (2008)
8-4 (2009)
7-4 (2010)
7-5 (2011)
7-4 (2012)
8-4 (2013)
9-4 (2015)
13-1 so far this year
The 70's, 80's, and 90's had a couple pretty good teams, but also some that were middle of the pack and below. Some of the top records for the 70s & 80s are:
7-3 (1970)
7-3 (1974)
9-3 (1977, went to Lee's first state semi),
9-1-1 (1980)
Coach G and his staff have done an amazing job with this year's team, keeping them locked in and focused. Staying locked in and focused during the whole season was an Achilles heel for Lee football over the years. This team has improved each week, which has also been something new for Lee teams. I have tons of respect for what his staff has done on and off the field. I hope they can pull it out this weekend but I am proud of this group either way.
That some great information!!! I will save this link! Salute to that guy! This was not easy to put togetherBoth posts above are taken from the thread on SWVAsports.con made by "Bluefield researcher". He's researched just about all of the schools in VA & WV and you can find all the records here - http://www.swvasports.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/34375-yearly-football-records/&
Haven't Lee and Appomattox played during the regular season within the past few years? I thought I remembered that, but I could have them confused with another team from this area.
