LOL, yep! I guess we have been spoiled by the quality of the program! When things don't go as expected, disappointment sets in. What we all need to be aware of is, don't let our expectations get in the way of our success! It is easy to set them so high and lofty only to be disappointed! My lesson to myself is, don't set my expectations too high. That way the "fall" from disappointment isn't so painful. Keep expectations modest and let the work put in achieve the goal.Well at least next year when you guys start ranting about how good HSHS is, there’s a reason to have the chip on your shoulder!
Too, just my opinion. The beefing up of our schedule. Was it a great idea? I'm not 100% sure. I think the main goal of it was (and it was so stated by more than a few) to be "battle tested" come playoff time. Well.... it appears to me that it back fired! Or at least something back fired!LOL, yep! I guess we have been spoiled by the quality of the program! When things don't go as expected, disappointment sets in.

It didn’t backfire, it was just Varina’s turn. It’s never anything wrong with going outside the box and scheduling the best of the best. Varina has been knocking on the door for a while, it’s the way the ball bounces. They DOMINATED Manchester yesterday. The score wasn’t as close as indicated. HS would’ve done the same.Too, just my opinion. The beefing up of our schedule. Was it a great idea? I'm not 100% sure.

I don't really like the idea of trying to bring in National powers into our schedule. What are we trying to prove? National prominence or win a State and Regional Title? I'd like to see us stick to our local schedule, but with 3 or 4 if the tops in the area or State ! O Smith, C Forge, N Stafford, yes!
N Carolina, Maryland, DC, Florida, California.... I'm not sold on that part of it!
Springers just didn't look as tough offensively as in previous years. I wonder if losing our home field and practice areas had much to do with preparedness. They seemed out of synch towards the end of the season.It didn’t backfire, it was just Varina’s turn. It’s never anything wrong with going outside the box and scheduling the best of the best.

They played tougher teams this year. I don't know if this year's team is not as strong offensively as other years, but when you play good teams with similarly equipped rosters and coaching staffs, you get tested and may not be able to steamroll them. I admit I was guilty of having too high expectations for them before the season, based on the past four years and listening to the HS faithful. They still had a great season and a run any program would love to have. This year we were fortunate to see some matchups we wouldn't normally see because of their willingness to play top teams from around the state. To me it looks like the top programs are fairly close this year, if not most years.Springers just didn't look as tough offensively as in previous years.

But..... it is what it is...... Good Luck to the Blue Devils! Bring it home to the East End & 804!
springer76, perhaps it was lack of game time reps that lead to them being "out of synch"? Going by what you and others have posted about the starters getting pulled early many times this season, IMO that may be the issue. You cannot replicate game play in practice quite the same, even if the starters are facing a very good scout team, and the lack of game time reps may have inhibited the necessary development and synchronization of the starters. There is a lot to be said for building depth, and pulling starters in a rout is something the coaching staff must consider to avoid running up the score, but it has its negative side also.Springers just didn't look as tough offensively as in previous years.

Why is it that I never heard any of these things about varina before they went on this playoff run. But as I been saying for the past month they are about to run in to a team that is back after embarrassing loss last year and they hungry and 10x better than the yall keep thinking they are. Because it seems like yall are just not giving maury its props base off a game last year and the "" competition of their region but us 757 guys give your school the props and respect. But yall can only find reason why 757 team is not that good. But hey I've seen them play in person so I see the speed coaching hunger to finish the job this year.
If Lambert is playing QB,running that read option with the best RB Varina has seen all year...gotta give Maury the edge!I honestly think both are evenly matched; speed, size, junior QBs with big numbers....Both even, QB play and coaching will be the deciding factor, who makes the least amount of mistakes.... Its really going to be a good one!
Yeah when Maury goes to that wildcat formation it is very dangerous and has gotten the best on most teams.If Lambert is playing QB,running that read option with the best RB Varina has seen all year...gotta give Maury the edge!
remember....Varina had to play Manchester and HSHS TWICE to beat them...it’s a one & done chance this time.
Yeah cause I thought I saw somewhere that place only holds a little over 2,800 people. I will settle for the radio or the stream!!Anyone know if this game will be streamed or on the radio? Can we get RVA sports down there this time or will they block it again?
it would be someone from HS that wants maury to win smhIf Lambert is playing QB,running that read option with the best RB Varina has seen all year...gotta give Maury the edge!

You must've missed a LOT of the early season talk. I even predicted Varina to beat HS twice, turned out half wrong.Why is it that I never heard any of these things about varina before they went on this playoff run.
Didn’t say I wanted Maury to win,but I know Varina hasn’t faced an all-American or a power 5 D1 RB all year. Stating facts! I could care less who wins!!it would be someone from HS that wants maury to win smh

If I’m wrong....so be it,but I know Varina hasn’t faced anyone like Lambert all year,and that includes HS or Manchester!
Mannnn you the same guy that said HS was 3-4 scores better than Varina LOL!!!Didn’t say I wanted Maury to win,but I know Varina hasn’t faced an all-American or a power 5 D1 RB all year. Stating facts! I could care less who wins!!

If you don’t win IT ALL,you’re just another Varina failure! Y’all should be used to that though!Mannnn you the same guy that said HS was 3-4 scores better than Varina LOL!!!
Hasn’t faced a D1 running back all year? What about Malik Newton from Lake Taylor? Offers from Clemson, Louisville, Nebraska, Penn State. I could go on with the D1 Power 5 offers, he's got 13, but no need. He didn't finish the game against us.Didn’t say I wanted Maury to win,but I know Varina hasn’t faced an all-American or a power 5 D1 RB all year. Stating facts! I could care less who wins!!

it took the worst game in 5 years to beat HSHS. The team and the school will never be the level of HSHS. The Springers always get the last laugh when it comes to Varina!
I think HooSprings has lost his mind. I feel sorry..... really bad attitude!This comment...wack.
When Varina is out of it, we cheer for the Springers and vice versa. When Varina made it to the state championship and won in basketball, the Springer Nation cheered for us. We all know that one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch. I just hope Varina plays the way they’ve played the past 3 weeks!I think HooSprings has lost his mind. I feel sorry..... really bad attitude!
Worst game? Lol that’s sad just give Varina the credit, their first game they held them to 155 offense to Varina 333 on offense just had turnovers credit to HS! Two weeks later they held HS Offense to 120 total! Between them weeks they played Henrico and went over 380 on offense with the same offense and style. Give Varina their credit for once they was prepared for themIf you don’t win IT ALL,you’re just another Varina failure! Y’all should be used to that though!

I can't go this weekend. If they beat Maury, I will be there cheering on Varina!When Varina is out of it, we cheer for the Springers and vice versa.

I will probably not make it either. I hope someone is streaming it.I can't go this weekend. If they beat Maury, I will be there cheering on Varina!
You should be quiet instead of continuing to embarrass yourself. Your post comes off as the whine of an insecure loser that cannot accept a defeat instead of the quiet confidence of a fan comfortable in his program's previous historic run. Your posting behavior demeans you and the fan base of the program you support which deserves far better.If you don’t win IT ALL,you’re just another Varina failure! Y’all should be used to that though!
