Great season, West Point!! Through all the nonsense, y'all held tight and progressed further than some said you would. Great job, young men!! To the Tidewater district as a whole... Great season by all of the teams. Success can be measured in so many ways, not just by wins and losses. I think each and every team in the district accomplished something that will and should be considered a success!! Looking forward to what next season brings!!
Rapp has a State Title contender based on talent , there coaching is there weakness.Finally saw Gaines in person last night. Wow, with a coach who can scheme better, he’d be SHREDDING the opposition. His passes looked completely effortless and were frequently right on the $$$.
Shame that #5 Whitaker from WP couldn’t keep his cool last night. At some point, an adult (coach) needs to remove a kid like that from the game to send him the right message about his on-field impact. Doesn’t matter if it’s provoked by the other team; you can’t give up 15-yard penalty after 15-yard penalty because one kid wants to clap back at the opponent. Was sad the coaches didn’t sit him for a series to send a message. Anyone hear the exchange that finally got him ejected?
After seeing it last night in-person, I have to agree. Talent all over the field for RHS, but standout talent at QB/RB. Hard to understand how some people get coaching gigs sometimes. Side note: Shouts out to J. Scott - Rapp’s Band Director, he has those kids making an impact in a positive way at their games!
Good luck to all the teams still playing!! Think I'm gonna head north Friday and check out Massaponax.
