Charles City will have a football team

[Lynn Burke]

This came across my twitter feed this morning. For the first time since 2019, Charles City will have a fall athletics program. AD Andre Jones had previously said Friday was the drop-dead date for determining if there would be enough participation, and his tweet indicated the school would have both a football and volleyball team, along with cheerleaders.

He said schedules would be released in the next few days. According to the latest VHSL master schedule, there are 5 football games scheduled so far, 2 with Mathews, and games with Middlesex, Northumberland and King and Queen.

Congratulations to Andre. Nobody cares more about those kids in Charles City than he does. And nobody works harder and gives more of their time to try to improve the situation than he does.

As the kids step up, the community needs to do the same.

Cavs1, how the heck are you?

Hey DinwiddieProud! I am doing good, my friend.

I always enjoy your posts and hope you are also doing well. So so glad that the covid madness is finally over after interfering with sports and life in general for way too long.

I am really looking forward (like us all) to high school Football (some big stars in the NND) and other sports this Fall, such as Volleyball (hard to get more exciting than two great Volleyball teams going at it).

Of course, I pull for all 6 NND sports teams plus the Tidewater schools but you may notice that I mostly will support & post about Northumberland, Rappahannock, and Essex. My own kids go/went to Rappahannock, so obviously, I must pull for the Raiders often these days.

I wish your beloved Dinwiddie much success as well this season!

Speaking of Rappahannock - A shout out to the success of RHS of late.

The Rappahannock Baseball team just won the 2022 State title out in Salem, the 2021 Rappahannock Soccer team won the 1st ever state Soccer title for our Class 1 - Region A area and Rappahannock Softball won States again just a few years ago.

Now the 2022 Lady Raiders of Rappahannock Volleyball are on a mighty quest to be the 1st NND school to ever win it all this upcoming season. If the Raiders, who have won like 60-70 matches the last three years, can just finally get by Riverheads and Auburn!

Exciting times!

Thank you, and touché. You are about the most sensible person that post on here. Always informative, thoughtful, and respectful. But I already knew that, I just wanted everyone else.

And in case anyone is looking to use someone as an example of a true gentleman, uvacavs1 is your man.

That is fantastic news about the success the kids are having at Rappahannock. They have made memories that truly will last a lifetime.

LOL, I don’t know about getting past Riverheads. There is something in the water out there. Their success in all things athletic defies understanding for a school that small. Tough mountain kids, I guess.

I hope Charles City can pick up a game to replace Mathews. I’m sure Andre is working on that.

If I had not committed to help at Dinwiddie, I would have made it a point to go to Charles City for a game.
