@HooSprings, I don't know what Class 4 teams or their fans are questioning Highland Springs, but as a Dinwiddie fan and person who follows Class 4 I can honestly say that year in and year out those teams cannot consistently beat the likes of HSHS or the top Class 5/6 teams. Some Class 4 teams teams can certainly hang close and in any given year (Salem 2015,2016 and 2017) Dinwiddie (2013 and 2016), LT (2014 and 2015), Louisa (2017) and could beat the top dogs. Example 2011 (20-16) and 2012 (28-26) Dinwiddie lost, but played Highland Springs very close. In 2013 (14-21) and 2014 (29-22) Lake Taylor split with the Class 5 State Champion LC Bird and won a State Championship in 2012 (Class 5). Heck, Phoebus is a Class 3 team now and look what they did in Class 5. Until 2013 most of the RVA, Nova, and 757 teams played in Class 5 and 6, so maybe that's the basis of their argument. I wouldn't fret about what anybody says. The Springers have won 4 straight Ships. There ain't a poster on here or Twitter who wouldn't take that. The Sringers play a super tough schedule in and out of district. I for one have no desire for Dinwiddie to Play HSHS regularly. Massaponax, GW Danville, North Stafford, Petersburg, Hopewell and Thomas Dale is quite the challenge.
Good luck to the Lions this weekend. Go Class 4B. Massaponax ran over our young defense. I believe Louisa is better suited to handle the running game. We had success passing the ball, so Louisa can certainly learn something from our offensive attack plan. Both teams have some solid players and the Massaponax qb is very talented. Their counter option is the best I have ever seen at the high school level. This should be a whale of a game.
