King William v Northumberland next Friday night

[uvacavs1]

King William and Northumberland Football programs (both highly ranked in their respective classes) have agreed to play each other next Friday.

The game will be held at Northumberland - October 1st.

Should be a good one.

Definitely interested in this one. Two future Division 1 players on the same field.

So no KW/Essex makeup game?! I was almost certain both teams would have made the 9/10 game up on their bye week next week. Smh

I heard KW was willing to play and Essex backed out.

I would agree that King William should be considered the heavy favorites v Northumberland.

Many people have said that KW might win the 2A state title this year. I hope that they do.

As for KW whipping Northumberland by 28 + points, I guess that we will have to see.

At least the Indians did not back down from the challenge.....

I’m pretty sure we’re not hearing the whole story. UVACAVS1…you should know from being in the Essex system in the past, that Essex has NEVER backed down from any team. We don’t fear competition in Essex. You can tell that by them going out booking schools in 3, 4, and 5A when they can work out a schedule with them. Think about it…..it would be a plus for Essex to play KW
1.)We need to play strong teams like KW to get better. Playing weak teams don’t prepare you.
2.) No matter the outcome, power points would have been good. So why throw that away.
3.) It’s a BIG rival game.
4.) Packed house means $$$$$$$$$. We all know schools need that type of gate.

Why would anyone think Essex would back away from that?
Maybe when KW reached out to see about playing the game next week, Essex didn’t respond back fast enough because of dealing with covid, so KW went on and booked Northumberland. That don’t sound so far out there as saying Essex backed out.

I agree with pretty much everything you said.

The reasons you mentioned why the game should be played are right on point….
