Thanks for the clarification. I always get the River Ridge and Blue Ridge districts mixed up. I just know that Salem doesn't schedule any C5/C6 teams outside of their surrounding area.
I should have remembered that DInwiddie played North Staffford this year considering I work there. LOL But I don't recall Dinwiddie playing HSHS or Massaponax in recent years. What years was that? Also, Varina, GW, and Salem are Class 4. The original post was in reference to Class 5 and Class 6 schools.

My professional opinion that Class 3 is weak is because there is a lack of depth among the quality of teams. Meaning, there is only 3-4 teams that have a real chance to win the championship each year; More likely than not the Class 3 champion will be LCA, Heritage, Lafayette (prior to next year), Phoebus (before they moved to Class 4) and Hopewell a few years ago.
Also, this year's LCA team was the least athletic and talented team they have had since 2018 yet they dominated their playoff opponents. LCA's best teams since joining VHSL were between 2019-2022 yet they only advanced to 1 championship championship game (lost to Phoebus) during that time span because Class 3 was more competitive. That's my opinion from having coached high school football for 18 years and coached against LCA from 2015-2022.

let them join and get rid of transfer rules. Only a handful of teams winning State titles anyway
Play Pox in 19-20
Springs in 2011-2012
We always look for high class opportunities we get turned down a lot
Let us imagine that you don't witness something that is happening or an object where it is. Does it mean that it is not there just because you didn't see it?
As an example:
On April 26, 1986 I was about 930-940 miles from Chernobyl and just starting week 2 of celebrating my 21st birthday.
How about you tell me what happened on the afternoon of April 28, 1986 at the military where I was stationed.
If you cannot I forgive you. Hopefully you will never know that sort of terror.
On my way to Lynchburg for the championship game between Varina and Phoebus, as I got close, I passed a gigantic Confederate flag flying high by the side of the road. It is unacceptable for any level of American government to allow it.
Yea I know Coach Mills and the Generals don't duck any smoke. The original post was referring to LCA scheduling bigger schools like Dinwiddie does. I wasn't considering those years for Dinwiddie since LCA wasn't in the VHSL when Springs played Dinwiddie and LCA was slightly better than average when Ponax played DInwiddie. LCA just became a state contender in 2021. I don't recall Dinwiddie playing any Class 5 or Class 6 schools OOD other than Maury and North Stafford since 2021.
@Kenneth Harris I believe you are referring to the Confederate flag on the side of I-64 West. That is in Charlottesville, not Lynchburg. Also, that flag is on private property so it's not anything that can be done about it.
I think he is confusing Lynchburg with Charlottesville. There is a gigantic Confederate flag visible from I-64 West in Charlottesville.
Ugh I worked in a nuclear facility for nearly 30 yrs fabricating nuclear fuel I'm fully familiar with that hoorific disaster at Chernobyl in 1986. No need to even go there my friend and I'm sorry for the horror you suffered. As far as the flag goes every race has assholes but I'm gonna tell you like you guys like to tell us don't condemn a whole race for the actions of a few.
They also had a pretty significant injury that may have had something to do with them not getting to the state title game in 2021. I'm sure you remember that. But I agree with your overall point.
He’s talking about the confederate flag just before you get to that first Farmville exit on 460 headed west.
