King's Fork Head Football Coach Anthony Joffiron chats with VirginiaPreps.com's Matthew Hatfield following his team's preseason scrimmage vs. Ocean Lakes on Thursday, August 11, 2022 in Suffolk.
Joffrion's Bulldogs captured the Region 4A Football Championship last year before falling to eventual Class 4 State Champ in Varina in the State Semis. Despite the graduation of some key pieces like
Kyree Moyston (Virginia Tech) and Bravion Campbell, the Bulldogs figure to be a top contender at the Class 4 level again.
Back is quarterback Cameron Butler as well as sophomore running back JaVon Ford, who ran for 750 yards and 10 TD's as a ninth grader to earn 2nd Team All-state honors. They also return senior WR/DB Kaletri Boyd, who had 12 touchdowns a season ago to earn 1st Team All-State honors as a kick returner and 2nd Team All-State at wideout.
Seven starters return on defense, including senior DB Antoine Gray, a 2nd Team All-State selection, plus blend in a host of intriguing freshmen and sophomores that can contribute significantly.
King's Fork opens at Smithfield - directed by a new Head Coach in Tracey Parker - on August 26th before their Southeastern District opener at Indian River on September 9th in Chesapeake.
