Here's how I rank the Seminole teams going into the season:
I wannna see what their defense looks like this year before I give them that designation. But they and Glass have the young talent for sure.
When you have a good program/good players , the talent follows. I have not one problem with it.
Salem and Amherst don't play this year during the regular season.
My mistake. This is the first year in a good while that they aren’t playing in the regular season correct?
I think they played 2015-2019. Were originally scheduled last year as well until COVID. So 3 cycles they played. Will play William Fleming this year for the first time since 2012.
Fleming is going to be good. Lovelace has turned that program around nicely. They’ll more than likely be a state semifinalist this year. It’ll be a matter of time before we’re looking at them playing in the big game.
I would love to see it. Teams like Stone Bridge/Massaponax present a major challenge.
Agreed. With the athletes and coaching that Fleming has, they can definitely be on the same level as a Highland Springs or Salem. Still a ways to go, but they took a huge step this past spring.
For the past years, Amherst has had one of the toughest schedules to start with. Salem, Blacksburg and GW, not necessary. Maybe two but not three games to start off the seasons. I'm glad they got rid of one of those teams. I believe the team will be good this year and even better next year.
Would not mind seeing a come up year for Amherst but im not sold on them. Too inconsistent last season and they have young talent but not experienced talent
I think that GW game should be a good one for their first game. After that game the 3 toughest games are at the end of the season. (Brookville, LCA, Heritage) I think they have a good shot at 7-3 this year.
Might be wishful thinking but I think JF will finish a little better. As much as I loved the success that came with the wishbone I am excited about what I have seen from the cavs offensively so far. They may not be the most athletic but it is a hardworking bunch of young guys. These past couple seasons have been tough but I think they will finish middle of the road this year and have an exceptional year next season
I can't disagree with you totally D55. Most of Amherst talent were freshmen last year on J.V. Once all of them was pullup during playoffs they did a outstanding job especially aganist Salem. G.W might be a bit much to chew for 1st game but don't be surprise we beat them if G.W think we the same ole Amherst from a few years ago.Still 1 year away from seriously competing with big boys.
Don't forget about Louisa County. They are in the region now too
I’m hip.. Louisa will be good. Return the best QB in the region in Landon Wilson, Linebacker Stephen Dean who was the DPOY and DB Jordan Smith (Brother of Penn State star Brandon Smith), who already has a few D1 offers. I’ve been critical of GW, but they’re going to be very good this year. Playing a tough schedule and return over 15 starters. If they build on from the Magna Vista, Pulaski and Salem games, they have a realistic shot at actually winning the region this year. I still believe it’s Salem’s to lose. Chauncey Logan is the best offensive threat west of Richmond and it’s not even close.
This is what I got too, top 3 and 4-8 could be in any order.
I would expect Brookville to look a little better than Salem at this point in time. Salem has 11 starters returning, split pretty evenly between O/D. The OL & Secondary will have the most changes with 3 to replace in each unit. Brookville always has a good Def and are pretty solid overall. Good test for both teams.
Hey Mike could you give us a report from the Brookville-Salem scrimmage if you are going. Would love to come up to Salem this afternoon but have a prior commitment.
