Essex pulling away now.

34-14 Trojans

NHS strikes on a 54 yard TD pass to Williams (lots of drops today for NHS, plus an interception on the 1st long drive for NHS in the 1st q that led to an Essex score).

NHS D was strong for most of the 1st half but, as expected, have just been overwhelmed by Essex during the 2nd half.

48-20 Essex in the 4th.

With the facilities upgrade, is this the first state semifinal Essex will host?

2003, 2009, 2012, 2013 if fourseasons is correct.

2013 was the last year I believe that Essex was able to host. That was the year they hosted Fort Chiswell.

Cool, I just remember they couldn’t host due to issues. Didn’t remember all the details. Now I recall that there was a bad scene with Fort Chiswell one year. Glad they can host again!
