This will probably go unnoticed but I want to I say congrats to Sussex for a very good season. I am sure there will be a whole bunch of overzealous fans from all over arguing but it was a good hard hitting game with the exception of a short period where the in game passion of a few players went a little far. I hated to see the one young man be ejected as he is a very solid defensive player. Lots of talented players on this Sussex team but Riverheads seemed to have the answers today against them.
I think there are some trolls that want to tarnish this championship already. To you Mr oldballcoach, if you ever were a leader of a program I am surprised it ever had success. Enjoy your retirement and take all your evidence to whomever you think needs to make adjustments so we get moved up to 2A. We may not have won in that division but we were competitive even then. Now go back under your bridge.
So now congrats to this Riverheads team for reaching your goal. Dedication and adherence to the process has payed off in being able to hoist the trophy. Forever you are the 2016 Virginia State 1A Champions. Celebrate this tremendous season and take time to look back at the road that got you here. For seniors, thank you for giving us all pride watching you develop over your time on the field. Life holds so much more so now, go reach those goals too. For underclassmen, enjoy this success but know that next season starts as soon as the bumps and bruises heal. Dedicate yourself to being individually better in your contribution to the team.
