Chuck, what was the QB's name from the Charlotte NC team we (GW) played 8-10 years back that single handedly beat the tar out of us? He was unreal!!!

I’m only 24 lol I had the chance to see Kenny Lewis Jr. play! Him and Jeremy Jeffress (Halifax) were the best baseball players I’ve ever seen on the high school level!
I’m trying to figure out who you’re talking about. The only Charlotte team I recall GW playing in the past 10 years is Vance. We played them in 2015 and 2016. Maybe you’re talking about Winston Salem Parkland in 07? Their had a big game against us but we beat them.
It was Durham Hillside I was thinking about 2009. Kid was a monster
Vad Lee! Played at Georgia Tech and JMU! He was a beast! Think he won the Heisman for FCS.
Partlow brothers from Handley Qb-Wr
Joe Lee Qb Warren County-if Warren County had a weight room when he played, they would have been scary easy 40 points a game without a weight room
Hb Banjoman Rb Warren County
Ross Methany Qb Sherando
Just a few local kids I remember

When they did the pre-game introductions for the Raiders, they always listed Otis Sistrunk as being from the University of Mars.
That's him! Thanks, I remember listening to that game. We could not stop him.
Glad to have another GW fan on the board lol! We need you here during the season!
Wasn't going to post since I did not grow up in Virginia but here are a few that I got to see:
Jeff Hostetler - Conemaugh Township H.S., PA. Went on to play at West Virginia and won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. Quarterbacked New York to a win over Buffalo in the Super Bowl.
Geroy Simon - Johnstown H.S., PA. Set receiving records at Maryland and inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
Greg Gardill - Johnstown H.S., PA. Went on to play for those tough East Carolina teams in the late 80s and early 90s.
Carlton Hasilrig - Johnstown H.S., PA. Never played college football but was a 6x NCAA national wrestling champion. Yes, it was 6. Walked on at the Steelers training camp and made All Pro under coach Bill Cower. His wrestling helped him at guard.
LaVar Arrington - North Hills H.S., PA. Had a great career at Penn State and went on to play for Washington.
Ricky Watters - Bishop McDevitt, PA. Went on to Notre Dame and played for San Francisco and won a Super Bowl.
Another very good high school player that I can never forget is Shannon Stevens from Allegany H.S. out of Cumberland. MD. ALCO came up to play Johnstown in the late 80s and he literally dominated the football game. Johnstown was a 3A team at that time in a 4 classification system. The year before they went undefeated in the regular season and made a deep playoff run. Started the season off undefeated until ALCO came to town. He kicked the ball off, then made the tackle and would go on to make most tackles on defense. Played offensive guard and they ran behind him almost always with their wing-t offense. He led Allegany to a Maryland state championship that year and would eventually start some games as a true freshman at the University of Georgia the next year.
Since living in Virginia, I did see Vic Hall at Gretna. Peter Rose at Amherst and the McCoy kid at Amherst was a very good football player.

Going way back and most of you was probably not born! But as a small boy saw Ken Williard ( Varina) play at Maury stadium against James Monroe! But the best back i ever seen was at my alma mater Spotsylvania Steve Atkins (Maryland) and Green Bay! Atkins was the MVP of the cotton bowl as a freshman! Also Eric Bates of JM and Daniel Davis!
Sorry to bring back the archives but these guys was the real deal!

As far as a duo, Hard to match Peter Rose and Derrick McCoy. Peter had so much speed and could throw very well and McCoy rarely dropped a pass. McCoy had several great interceptions as well.
