Playing against those Richmond schools and still being able to compete is a good thing. Essex teams play in the Rappahannock River Youth Football League. The teams are Essex, Caroline,Northumberland, Colonial Beach, Richmond Co., Westmoreland, Fredericksburg and King George. Essex's jv and varsity little league teams had good seasons as well.
I have a co-worker/friend( Herman Shelton) from Essex who now lives in K.W. He's an asst. coach on one of K.W's L.L teams. His son Kaleb is 9 and is the QB for the team that he's asst. coaching. I always tell him when his son is about to go up to high school j.v...make sure he's moved back to Essex by then lol. Good luck to KW's varsity pee wee team this Saturday!!!!
