All things Riverheads

Are you from the Augusta county area? If not then you really have no leg to stand on with regards to addresses. I live in Stuarts Draft and across the street people have Waynesboro addresses, even still in Stuarts Draft by miles. One particular road in between SD and Greenville (where Riverheads is) up until last year was completely divided between the 2 schools. One side of road was SD, other side Riverheads. So your neighbor right across the street would be at a different school.

I dont understand all this animosity for them, unless you are a direct rival. I can understand not liking them, I certainly dont, but my school was a direct rival. Other areas of the state occasionally play them. So the hate should certainly be better applied to a direct rival.

IF they are cheating, then that is terrible and dumb on them as a school. Schools get their budgets based on number of kids, so the ones who think they are cheating are saying they are losing money for the educational system to win a championship.

And also a FYI, Robert E Lee, the high school in Staunton has also dropped in classification in last 4 years, so how do you explain that with your vast knowledge of the area?

Also, no it didn't get changed in 2013. It has been split differently for a long time. In 2017, it went back to 4 regions.

Like I said, I strongly dislike them, but dont try to lie to prove a point. Come with FACTUAL information

it did not go back to regions. come with FACTUAL information. check out this new site called GOOGLE. you will be amazed.
 
I thought Groundhog Day was in February, but.
Blah blah blah, number of students. Blah blah blah should be in 2A. Blah blah blah cheat the system.

That World Wide Web you speak of should allow you to find new material. So now you can either take this damning information to whomever you wish in the VHSL or pipe down. Although I will have to say when this happens I love seeing an SD alumni defend the Red team

Either way it’s great seeing that it concerns you so much to do research and present to a bunch of bleacher sitting/standing fans. We have all sorts of pull to change things, as evidenced through the countless times it’s been discussed and the changes we have effected.

@Gunz41, the trolldom has grown by a few in recent weeks. There is one all over the 2A board trying to jerk people’s chains. At times I fear we may be over run with them.

For what it’s worth I live in the neighborhood directly behind Drafts high school and have a waynesboro address lol

I know Wilson kids with Staunton addresses. That don’t mean anything
 
I am a die hard supporter of the Red team but I do attempt to be objective. I think the team has made great strides this year and may, and I stress may have what it takes to win this year. I am also gonna say that there are 4 maybe 5 teams that can put it together and win in December.

I have never went into the season thinking that RH was the clear favorite and should be revered for even gracing a field. I do however think every year that if the young men buy into the system and believe the we versus me mentality of what is taught, they will give themselves a chance to compete on the field and understand how to become a productive adult in the real world. That’s all a community can ask if it’s athletic programs.

There have been several comments about how disciplined the Red team is and I would agree. They have fun but none of them hold their self in higher regard than their teammates. That’s not to say there are not plenty of schools that have the same approach and some wonderful young men playing for them.

We have been blessed as Longtime mentioned with stability at the coaching level and community buy in to the point of being rabid, lol.

All in all, I personally love when the area teams do well and challenge each other. I would submit that per population density, the best football in the state is played in Augusta county. I could only imagine if there were two less schools and the others moved to higher divisions.

You don’t have to like the school, the coaches, the offense that is ran, or the few knuckle head fans that enjoy pulling chains But you can’t take away the 5 times they won the last game of their season by lifting a trophy that 30ish other teams wanted. You can try to tarnish it with accusations but the record books don’t have asterisks beside it. 5 time 1A State Champion is what it says as of now. I hope that total changes a few more times before this run is over.
