Everyone playing for 2nd
- Thread starter Lakelife

Agreed. They will not see a close game the rest of the way. Some good coaches are looking to leave 3a because of it. They are essentially the John Marshall of football.
Not so fast my friends… Lafayette and Tee Jay may have something to say about that. Kettle Run and Armstrong won’t be anyone’s push over either.
I hope you’re right !!! But these boys on different level than anybody else . They can control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball .
They’re legit but they’ve been stacked like this before and got beat.
Well, the Lafayette players have talked for some time wanting a second shot this year.
Lafayette is moving to Class 4 next season. Last shot at Class 3 title.
Yep. Also knowing unless something dramatic happens in Region A we will be playing for #2 behind Phoebus. But playing Phoebus again in the regional final will be exciting.
From the Phoebus Neighborhood/District in Hampton, VA, "we heard the same thing a couple of years ago and we don't believe you."
The difference between John Marshall and LCA is LCA is a private school and John Marshall is a public school LCA is a private school playing in a public school division instead of playing against other private schools like Benedict or Trinity ect ,, John Marshall players transfer their and play other public schools and private schools also, LCA players pay to attend. Big difference. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Players get sponsored by members of the church to attend for free while regular students have to pay to go to LCA .
Thanks for clearing that up for me But it's still being paid for it they're being sponsored. It's not free if you're being sponsored.

Glad Lafayette is moving up to class 4 snd avoiding this. When it first started with LCA Virginia should have sued no matter what and the legal costs bankrupt LCA
It means absolutely nothing; IC Norcom has the biggest O-Line in the state! And they go ten linemen deep, averaging 6'4-5, 320 plus. You have to play the game.
Glad to have you back up in 4 with us too.
If the VHSL had fought the LCA effort, they would not have lasted 3 months. The corrupt Jerry Falwell Jr was what drove the case, and his ego, and unfettered access to LU’s financial resources would have financially destroyed the VHSL long before LU would have flinched.
The whole sordid affair had nothing to do with LCA wanting to become a member of the League. It was 100% driven by Falwell’s personal arrogance and ego. When he was told no by the League, he became incensed, and made a vow that he would destroy the VHSL. So unchecked was his power that he had multiple world class attorneys march into the League office and in so many words told the League to make LCA a member, or we will destroy you.
During that time frame, controlling Falwell was tantamount to controlling Putin. Try to gain control of that runaway train and you would end up as road kill.
