That sounds like the Barbour brothers if i spelled the name correctly. Give away there is mention of their mother, she was tough as nails on them boys to behave or she would light their butt up.
Dogs vs Bees!?

ok, I somewhat agree but name a player from 1a or 2a that was overlooked in the central Va region? Good to us a lot of times doesn't mean good in major college football. I'm not saying you are wrong, I just think this is a misconception.
Off the top of my head I can’t just throw a name out there, because I agree with you major college football has parameters and things that are borderline requisites to make it to the next level and if you don’t check them all off they’ll offer a PWO spot if they feel you have what it takes. I’m more so speaking to the fact that the major institutions miss and particularly the state schools are missing out on a lot by overlooking the talent right in their backyards and allowing it to go to the smaller programs. They also take fliers on player who they believe are Better than what they are and miss , it’s not an exact science but I believe there’s been misses out of this area not just in 1/2A but also 3/4A. It baffles me as to why a player isn’t on the radar to make it to a major college football program but still good enough at the smaller programs to make it to the league every year we hear about a breakout star who is from a smaller pool. Also you pigeonholed me by making it explicitly in the central va region , but I’ll do some research and get back to you.

Just for accuracy sake...Heritage was the last team from the Seminole to win a championship in football. They beat Phoebus In 2018.
A good friend on mine has a son playing for Andrew Lewis. He's a really good RB now. I'm looking forward to seeing him in HS. Just wish it wasn't at Salem LOL.
Go Bees
Yes and it happened to Amherst. I don't care what people say, they will always find a way to get the best athletes
Yes and when they play in the States, they play at LU and that is their home field. Ridiculous
So much for home field advantage last year.
Great win LCA. Very impressive. Looks like a potential rematch before Phoebus bolts to Class 4. There is still alot of football left to be played as I'm sure the Killer Bees will regroup and be heard from again as will Lake Taylor, Lafayette and Norcom will be over here in Eastern VA! Great job!
In reality there is no one in Regions C or D that are gonna be able to compete with LCA man those guys are just flat out on another level. They absolutely destroyed Brookville last night and I believe the Bees only had one first down the whole first half. It's gonna take Phoebus to do it again in December.
Phoebus will have to ramp it up because I can see the hardest challenge for Phoebus until the Woodside and Oscar Smith games is trying to keep those kids focused. They know they're on a different level in the Peninsula District and it's easy for them lose focus. That's big concern for me.
That makes two of us. I expected LCA to win but I thought it would be a 10-14 point game.
They have one of the highest recruited players but I would argue that Nolan James is the best football player in Class 3. Of course, it's just an opinion.
I wouldn't look past a potential State Semis matchup with Botetourt. LB is a legit contender in the western part of the state. LCA might have too much speed for LB but I think it's a good matchup for both teams.
Best player in 3A is a hard argument to make without seeing teams in person. Davidson, James, and Jordan Bass all in the top of the conversation though
I would agree with best in the Seminole not sure about the #1 RB ranking per class though
definitely subjective but when you’re 2 years out from graduation there isn’t but so many sophomore backs who carried the ball like he did as a freshman and he performed on the circuit in the offseason to garner some national attention
I think he’s the best player in VA on the offensive side of the ball in 3A right now and probably will be top 3 when his ranking comes out for the state and top 100 for a national ranking
That is true about Freshman production. I guess in my mind I compare him to Henderson when he was at Hopewell and IMO that isn't close. Henderson was faster, bigger, and a harder runner. I am talking about Henderson as a soph compared to Davidson as a soph.
hard to make that comparison for me when I know they’re playing 2 different levels/opponents week in and week out — Henderson saw more athletes/better comp which allowed his athleticism to jump off the charts when you’re pulling away from other “fast” teams like a TD, dinwiddie etc it’s a different analysis
davidson is by far the best player when he’s on the field and won’t see another player of his caliber at the skill position until playoffs , i might be mistaken but there’s not many p5 guys in the Seminole at the skill position that I’ve seen in the last 2 years — so for me he is a big fish in a small pond but I don’t doubt you move him to a bigger body of water and he still is a big fish
time will tell Davidson has two more years to garner national attention and spotlight, could crest into the top 10 or higher nationally VA has Done it before
