Despite amassing more false start penalties than I've ever seen, Sherando overcame a 14-0 deficit to get their first ever win over the Bulldogs.

That's from last week, and you used the phrase "too many weapons" a few weeks ago. Louisa was that bad. Don't switch up your statements now! Maybe you forgot, or maybe too many celebratory drinks?We really didn't use all our diversity or weapons , save that for Martinsburg next week which will be a very tough game.
Nobody is calling you any names Hoos, if you think that when somebody says you are fool for thinking some way is calling you a name , then I am sorry. In the future I will just say that you are a uneducated football fan. IMO. And YES, in my opinion LT has such a vast amount of huge talent that it allows them to play a undisciplned defense sometimes, most of the time they don't play a undisciplined defense , but because mistakes are hidden easily because the talent makes up and hides what otherwise could be detrimental consequences. lake Taylor is well coached, but the best coaching jobs in my opinion are the teams that get more out of far less talent. And that's what we have in the west, less talent. Just my opinion, you don't have to agree. But since when did you become the defender of the LT's of the world? My opinion of a Louisa is that they had plenty of talent when we played them, however the combination of a green coaching staff, and undisciplined defense and that with a complicated offense that they don't have the QB to run , caused them to not be effective. But you don't see me and on here constantly cutting down Louisa, or saying anything about them, I know the circumstances down there. It takes years to build a program, and it will take Louisa years to become a state caliber program. It's not my fault, I just tell it like it is. Sorry the truth hurts. Do you think if Salem had LT talent they would not be just as effective at being successful in 4A? Yes they would, maybe more success. It's just my opinion, nobody has to agree.
A side note of interest about what's important at Jamestown. They had 45 players on the varsity football team a couple of years ago. They had 97 kids come out for cross country that same year. Kind of tough to get a football program going in the right direction with that mindset to overcome.
LT's loss to GW Danville in 1982 is nothing to fret over. That team was probably one of the best high school teams ever assembled. They beat my team (ph- Roanoke) coached by Willis White n the regional final. We had a great team as well and played them close. Just too many damn weapons.So your comment made me do some research to show you my point.
LT opened in 1967 and made its first playoff appearance in 1976 a loss
Made the playoffs in 1982 and made a trip to the state finals losing in a blowout to GW Danville
LT made the playoffs in 83,85,86,87,89,92 all playoff losses to be 3-8 all time in the playoffs.
When Coach Sawyer took over in 1999 LT hadn't been to the playoffs since 1992 or won a playoff game since 1982. It was a rocky start as we didn't WIN our first playoff game until 2008 as a staff losing 2000 to Hampton, 2002 State Champion Phoebus, 2003 Indian River, 2005 State Champion Hampton, 2006 State Champion Phoeubs, 2007 to Indian River.
2008 we lose in regional final 14-0 to State Champion Phoebus in a great game that could have been the state finals as Phoebus smoked SB and Dinwiddie the next two weeks.
2009 We lose a heartbreaker to State Champion Phoebus in the regional final 20-19 in OT
2010 loss to Hampton 1st round with very young team
2011 loss to state champion Phoebus 20-17 in a game we were up 17-7
I say all this to say the school zone at LT never changed the culture at LT changed because after so many years of being close and playing the state champions so tight we decided we wouldn't let that happen again and we deserve to win a title. So, 2012 regional final 54-0 against Phoebus on the way to state title #1 and the rest is history. The biggest change we made was opening up our offense more and not just running running running and relying on the defense. Since Coach Sawyer has been at LT we have NEVER given up 200 points in a season and he has only had 1 losing season. In 2012 we shattered the school record for most points in a season with 653 points so again it had nothing to do with the influx of talent and all about a changing in coaching philosophy.
lake Taylor is well coached, but the best coaching jobs in my opinion are the teams that get more out of far less talent. And that's what we have in the west, less talent.
Add in the fact hat ANYONE in Williamsburg that is serious football player will end up at Lafayette, Tabb, or Grafton and it's a no win situation. They are content winning the country club sports at Jamestown.
If the West indeed has less talent as you say, then wouldn't it also be true that the coaches who are "doing more with less" are also coaching against less talented teams?
Maybe Lafayette should have played you guys instead....But we all know how that goesDid I mention that the Lafayette team was at our game against Jamestown last year, in mass? All sitting on our side rooting against Jamestown!
Good point hoss! Didn't take too many ass beatings. I was way too fast. Lol. Of course my brain is still fried by the knockout blow given to me by R. Hundley in the state championship game. Still don't know how I got home from Richmond. Down goes Frazier. Was talking to Judge D about the game and he said they thought I was dead.Hey Navy, I got my ass beat twice in high school. One was by an undisciplined punk from Battersea, the other one was a cool calculating kid from Walnut Hill. You know what the difference was to me...? Not a damn thing! Both hurt like hell.
Ouch! That's going to leave a bruise!If the West indeed has less talent as you say, then wouldn't it also be true that the coaches who are "doing more with less" are also coaching against less talented teams?
