One thing I have never been called is a prima Donna. I can handle most facilities and have but that was the worst ever. You couldn't even get to the potties and anything else. The pathway to anything was blocked by people standing to see the game, people were in the trees to see the game. I didn't even try the concessions because they were running out of everything from what people were saying. Yes I made a stop before the game because I knew what the situation was going to be like. I have been to many games in my life but that one should have never been played there regardless. Even their own fans were complaining and I work with several of the parents and they said it was miserable
You're one of the best and most respected posters on the board Wikki. I'm glad I got to meet you and look forward to seeing you again in August if everything works out as planned. Besides being an awesome fan you're a very considerate person as well. We need more Wikkis on this board and in this world and less trolls that just try to pee in everybody's Cheerios.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Amherst/Salem this year, it will be Salem's toughest regular season game and probably Amherst's as well.
Appomattox should still be a tough game- I think Smith has them pointed in the right direction much like Christmas at JF.
Brookville is usually a very exciting game, with Amherst making some epic comebacks against them a couple of times in the last 5 years or so.
Heritage should be improved as they were young last year. I'm sure Bradley will have them competing near the top of the district.
Jefferson Forest likely won't be as good but I still expect a playoff caliber team.
Rustburg always plays tough, but they just don't have the depth to consistently compete in the SD for 4Q against the best teams.
I hope for some big improvement out of Glass this year under Coach Woody. They need to get the guys on the field that you know are roaming the hallways.Hopefully Coach can inject some enthusiasm and pride back into the Hilltopper's program.
I think Liberty is kind of in the same boat as Rustburg, but Coach Watts usually finds a way to get the most out of his players.
Rockbridge has hit some hard times since Porter Abell, I don't expect much out of them till they show otherwise.
LCA has a lot to prove to themselves and the SD in general. After getting shellacked in their first ever VHSL playoff against a squad not normally known for being an upper echelon team, they'll have to get up and wipe the mud out of their eyes and show us if they have what it takes to play big boy football in arguably the toughest district in the state with the best coaches top to bottom. (LCA doesn't start their full SD slate till next year)
Good luck to Amherst this year, I hope from Game 2 on they are the Amherst of old.
