Oh yeah Baby!!!! It's Football Week! I can't wait 'til Friday so, me and my buddy are going to the Bird @ MBK game Thursday to get a kick start. Then Friday!!!! There will be "Battle Royale" in 'Da Springs!I have a feeling it might be Class 5's #1 and #2 teams going head to head to kick off the season!.... Who could ask for more? I think my boyz are ready! Those Panthers better bring their A game.... just sayin':D:cool:
Johnny "Football", you ready?
 
Herm team is full of transfers and kids not living in their school zone. Smh
The county has done nothing about this and the kids are still playing. How can one school get away with this and not others?

From what I understand, there wère a few wanting to join Highland Springs and it was nit allowed by the County.... maybe a little favoritism on the other side of HenCo!
 
Wow, Danny picking Herm by 10!

This is why I've felt for so much of the offseason that the Panthers were the better team coming in. That is not to say the Springers cannot win, they have the talent with Billy Kemp and Shy're McKeiver back and two capable quarterbacks on offense but can their defense match Hermitage's? Can a relatively new offense overcome one of the best defenses in the state? Hermitage's defense with so many studs on it like Mateo Jackson, Fox brothers, Jahmol Robinson to name a few... this defense is the one that wins the game.

Forecast: Hermitage 24, Highland Springs 14

Herms defense didn't look all that special against Hanover! They looked decent, but the WOW factor did not register with me. Their offense wasn't impressive either.
Hanover only had 22 kids dressed that day!!!! Hermitage outscored the 28-0, but it wasn't impressive!! it was 21-0 early in the 1st qtr. due to a pick 6 and another turnover deep in Hanover's territory. The offense score 1 td.. The offense scored again in the 2nd qtr. After that, Hermitage couldn't move the ball at all. If they play like that tomorrow night.... they will be in deep trouble!

I can feel how excited you are for tonight. You must be pacing back and forth by now! Maybe this underdog role will put a chip on HSHS shoulder and is just what the doctor order for a young team. We'll see in 12 hrs!

10 points in this series is like 50 points in most games. I can understand picking Herm, but I thought that was a big margin. They have new faces, but the crown still fits until it doesn't.
 
Highland Springs will be just fine after 2 touchdowns called back. One of which was dead to rights,while the other was a predetermined call. Had the ball on the opponents 5 in the first half and decided to run QB keeps. Had the ball on the 5 in the 4th with 10 seconds to go and thought they could relive the state championship. But a loss is a loss, Herm squeaked by this one and got the W
 
Yep....it was definitely ugly! HS started strong going up 9-0. Then it became a combination defensive struggle/penalty fest! Together both teams were called for about 30 penalties....
HS could have/ should have won this one. Had it not been for TWO block in the back penalties on TWO punt return TD's. They wouldn't have had to put together that come back drive under 1:20! It ended with an interception in the endzone to preserve Herm's 14-9 win.
Not a bad loss. A lot can be learned from all the mistakes from both of these two teams. Good hanging with my buddy Johnny Football!

I thank you for the company. Got to watch a good game with a good man!

Ole Springer is a blast to be around. And he always has an old frind or two with him that are fun people.

Now, if I can just get him to convert over to being a Generals fan, we could enjoy a lot more games together!

Hey DP, shhhhhhhhush!:) I''m torn!! I've got Springer blood! 4th and 5th generation Springs blood! Now I know Dinwiddie is God's country. You get plenty of rain, the soil is good, the folks are loyal and good hearted.
A MOAB couldn't blow the deep roots of this old Oak Tree out of the ground. But if it did, I think I'd come to Dinwiddie seeking a new place to take root!
I check on my Springer family regularly and secretly.... I go into the bathroom and read all about my 2nd favorite outstanding group of Navy Blue.... General Nation!!! Shhhhh. don't let it get out... 'Cause I am a fan:eek:
Check this out... my friend Johnny Football, is from around these parts, lives in the East End and has "become" a Springer fan as an implant!..... He told me (in one of our conversations) that he played football at Stone Bridge HS!!! How do you like that for a conversion?!
Not trying to expose you Johnny O. Just a nice segue here:). Really good dude there!

I wouldn't like you as much as I do if you weren't as loyal to your Springer roots as you are. That's why I respect you. Anybody can jump on a winning teams bandwagon. The true loyal fan sticks with their team through thick and thin.

I look forward to meeting Johnny Football. You may have to interpret for him. I'm not sure that someone from NOVA can understand our Southside Virginia speech? But I'm sure we all speak one common language, high school football.

Absolutely! I think, not sure, he's originally from "these parts" of Va. but wound up in NOVA for a senior year? Hey JF... right?
 
HaHa I know the lingo south of the mason dixon. Learned it well down rte 5. should be a great season for football!
Yaes indeed! I am stoked that this season is under way!
My Springer stumped their toe a little bit, but they are going to be in contension with the best in the end! Herm had luck on their side Friday~~. One loss hasn't stopped us recently, huh!
Herm and Bird are dealing with tougher schedules this year and I have a feeling there won't be any undefeated teams by the end of the season!
