I think a week off hurts more than helps high school kids more than pros/college teams.
SAME HERE! NO MORE BYES !!!!
Still trying to figure how you score a touchdown when the ball is stripped at the 3 and never made it into the Endzone, only the running back did? Guess I will read up on new VHSL rules. The Refs comment "at this point what does it hurt to let them have 6 points?"
If Essex gets to Riverheads they better step it up or they will get killed.Very good gameplan by Luray and they are very well coached. Had 38 plays in the 1st half. 2nd half the Essex defense shut them down for the most part. Luray scored in the 1st q then in the 3rd on a botched snap by Essex where everybody thought it was an offsides and stood still. Last Luray TD came with 24 seconds left where Essex recovered a fumble and the whistle blew but Luray knocked the ball out of the Essex players hands and refs called a Luray TD. Next week will be another physical game and I know Sussex will be ready. Congrats to Luray on a good season and safe travels.

riverheads could have scored more than 41 points they took there starters out, not getting to hyped about the win they played well the defense only allowed 3 first downs, playoff time u take 1 game at a time, a win is a win if u win by 1 or if u win by 50, if u keep winning the teams get harder and harder, riverheads has to worry about central Luneburg, and Essex need to worry about Sussex, so hopefully both teams keep winning and we can play each other, both teams have great football programs. GO BIG REDI felt Riverheads should have blown Altavista out by more than a 41-0 score. Altavista was a BELOW AVERAGE team this year. So don't get to hyped up about that win. And why must Essex beat them by 35 to be on "Riverheads Level" or on any other teams level? That's crazy!!! Riverheads beat them 40-8. They scored 3 more points on Luray than Essex and Essex had a flat and poor 1st half. Although possible, but don't count on to many poor 1st halves by Essex. All about Sussex now. We'll plan for Big Red if we both make it to the big game.
I have seen them both 1 time and Riverheads is nowhere near as athletic,but they run their offense flawlessly,if they dont turn the ball over they will be hard to handle.Riverheads had 3 big plays in the first half against Luray,that helped doom the Bulldogs.Essex did not score an offensive TD in the first half, that should be worrisome to the coaches. They either didn't scout well or didn't execute their game plan. It may be rust from the 2 week layoff, who knows, but they won't be around long if they continue like that. Really pointless to talk about playing RH's at this point, but they beat Luray 40-6
