Essex has only lost to three 1A and 2A programs in the past five seasons- All State Champions.
2A Goochland (lost three times - once in D2 state championship, Essex defeated them twice)
1A Altavista (lost twice in 1A state championship)
1A Galax (state champion, beat Essex in state semis)
I was wondering who was the last 1A or 2A team to defeat the Trojans (besides those three). Any guesses?......
For 1A, it was Lancaster and (now) 2A W&L, both in 2011. That was Essex Coach Fulks 1st year and he had a tough rebuilding situation indeed. It almost always takes at least a year or two for a new coach to get things under control (unless loaded with talent and/or smooth prior coaching change).
Besides those three programs, Essex record playing 1 and 2As under Coach Fulks - 2012 - to present.
53-0
Not too shabby. Well done! (Thought this was interesting info to share.)
