Surprises Week 1 in the 804

Did not see these coming!

Freeman over Prince George 17-14
Mataoca over Glen Allen 31-14

How about Mechanicsville over Deep Run 37-7 (I know DR is down but daaaang) and Goochland over King William 13-6.

Gotta love 804 football.
I know Mechanicsville went 0-6 in the Spring but they had a ton of experience back and they have depth as well. Still early, will see how they do against Powhatan this Thursday but if they get off to a 2-0 start you have to start wondering if they crash the 4B playoff party.

The Freeman one took me by surprise more than the other games.

For 1 reason I'm not surprised by Freeman... all the chatter about their jv team beating HSHS last season! Handing the Springers their first loss in 6 years, many said this Freeman bunch could be special. I don't know much about them, but I remember that!

That schedule is engineered for wins and to maximize crowd interest (aka gate $). I think the MHS over DRHS result reveals more about Deep Run than it does Mechanicsville. Very interested to see how KW @ MHS goes. Could be a great matchup despite the C2 vs C4 disparity.

All of the Hanover Schools will be pretty good. Saw Atlee a few weeks back and they disrupted a very good Hermitage run game. Kept them out of the end zone. I figured they’d give a much improved Henrico team a good game but I didn’t know 17-0 would be the end result. Knew Deep Run wasn’t going to be nearly as good as last year but a lot of those younger guys got game reps towards the end of the season. Mechanicsville winning didn’t surprise as much as 37-7 did. They dominated. Matoaca’s win was probably the most impressive (Glen Allen will be a playoff team in Region C) but Freeman woke a lot of people up. I knew they’d be very solid. Herm/Freeman should decide the Colonial this year.

Is the DRHS dropoff more related to the coaching change or player graduation?
