I have pondered posting this for a while so I am just going to say it. Thomas Dale high School should find another head coach. Kevin Tucker seems like a good dude but his lack of success in big games is worrisome. All those years Vic Williams was at Dale he would pull off wins against teams superior to them. Beating LC Bird in 1992,CD Hylton in 2001 and Oscar Smith in 2009. Vic also won multiple region titles and coached in 3 state title games. Tuckers Dale team always seems to look unprepared and often get blown out. They win a lot of easy regular season games so his record is not bad but good is the enemy of great.
 
I am not a former player or anything like that if that's what you are wondering. I am a former student from the the late 80's early 90's. That all I will say.

Understandable, I always felt like every year they never felt like a real threat, even in 2023 when they went Undefeated in the regular season. What you said about the player not seem to be prepared is valid. I was at the Glen Allen game last year, and just seemed like when they faced a little adversity they crumbled.
 
WOW
didn't realise TD was in such dire straits.
I live in that area and when I compare TD to MBK, RHSA, PHS, Clover Hill; I always considered Dale to be a cut above those schools.

The have became the Dallas Cowboys of the Central region. They win a bunch of games but never the important ones.

Winning games is different than being a champion. Dale doesn't play the way they used to. The Dark Zone defense use to be a hard hitting standard. Now it's just a shallow name. First round or second round exits is all I see in our future unless there is change.
