Valley District teams(boys)

[leemen]

So far early in the season there are some quality teams in a solid Valley District this season.

Waynesboro is 6-1 and playing very well and a very experienced and well coached team.

Spotswood is 4-1 and is a state title threat as usual. They had been dealing with some injuries so...will only get better. Thier only loss was to Millbrook.

Fort Defiance is 4-1 with their only loss being to Waynesboro last night 48-45. The Indians appear to be solid this season.

Turner Ashby 2-2 is looking a little up and down at the moment. They did have a blowout loss to unbeaten Western Albemarle.

Broadway is 1-4 but has played a tough schedule.

The other teams who are not in 3A but in the Valley:

R.E.Lee is 3-0 and looking like a title contender in 2A

Harrisonburg is 3-1 and looking decent on the 4A level.

Any input on other districts and teams in 3A and how they are looking?

Spotswood beat Lee tonight by over 20.

No doubt that Spotswood was impressive. I think with Kier and getting healthy they will be a solid contender in 3A. Lee's Darius George got into foul trouble and that didn't help Lee's cause. Lee will be fine moving forward. I think when these two meet again the outcome will be much different. Or at least much closer of an outcome. I give Spotswood all the credit in the world...great team, well coached and they hustle on every play. I like Coach Edwards and the job he does.

Broadway beat Waynesboro 57-54 too. So...the Valley is much stronger and deeper this season. I think it's Spotswood's to lose but...they could take a couple more losses before postseason rolls around.

I agree with you on all counts Leemen. SHS is getting better but the district will be tough to navigate. Lee is gonna continually get better as the year progresses and I see them causing a lot of trouble in 2A. Looking forward to when the Leemen come to SHS. Looked like a great atmosphere last night at Paul Hatcher gym. Was it as good as it looked?

I agree as well. It was a good atmosphere but the Blazers kinda dampened that a bit. I think the rematch will be much closer in Penn Laird. Justin Kier is a special player here in the Valley. Maybe the best since Rowsey was at Rockbridge? Darius George is that mix too. Rockbridge is not technically in the Valley I guess...but close enough lol.
