LOL, the first thing that rattled my chains was being at home on a Friday night. Our game was Thursday night this week. My bio rhythms are now all out of wack.
The mess a Hayfield certainly caught my attention.
John Marshall making the mega trip across the state to play Virginia High. 640 miles round trip!! WOW. Incidentally, and understandably, I saw 4 fans in the JM stands.
Charles City won!!! 60-14 over Mathews. I looked at a few minutes of the game on NFHS Network. The first time I tuned in, CC had 11 players on the field and one, yes one, on the sidelines. Later I saw a second player, So they played and soundly won a game with 13 total players. Great job by those kids.
How about Smithfield? Another OT win. At least it didn’t take but one OT this week. 37-34 OT over New Kent.
Wm. Byrd and Staunton River also went into OT. SR went for 2 after their touchdown and Byrd stopped them. Final 21-20.
Amelia forfeited their game for next week because of a reported lack of players. So, if this is accurate, and Amelia still qualifies 8th for the playoffs, do they A). Play the game, B). Forfeit the game, or C). Remove themselves from competition and does this allow the next team to move up to 8th?
Poor Hidden Valley. They have given up 499 points in 9 games and only scored a total of 37. And, it won’t get better this week when they travel to PH. My hats off to the kids that have stuck with it and finished what they started.
I won’t say that the wheels are falling off at Lord Botetourt, but I think the lug nuts are a little loose. Their loss to Wm. Fleming after playing them about even up for much of the game didn’t shock any of us. Flemming is a pretty darn good team. But, for LB to loose to their bitter rival Northside last night definitely caused this old man to raise an eyebrow.
Darn it! I thought the Blue Steaks might get their first win last night, but it was not to be.
But, across town, Coach Cherbin and his Raptors put an old fashion whipping on Stonewall Jackson 63-0. Congrats to Rocktown.
Holston has very quietly put together a terrific season, standing now at 8-1. And those good folks around Damascus certainly need a bright spot in their lives after all of the devastation from the flooding.
Hanover came out firing on all cylinders last night. In what most of us thought would be a close game, the Hawks were all over Douglas Freeman from the opening bell. That unexpected loss by Hanover last week must have put the fire in Coach Bass and his staff.
Other than those of us in the area of the Central District, you may have said “ ho hum” so what, Hopewell beat Thomas Dale. But, in most years, even when Hopewell is their usual top shelf self, Thomas Dale takes care of business. I can’t say this is a shocker, but it sure is not football as usual. Especially when we know that this is not one of Hopewell’s particularly good teams.
Certainly there will be a game or two today that makes me say, “are you kidding?” But for now, that’s all I’ve got. But how about you? What made you say, “hey honey, so and so beat so and so!” And she replied, “that’s nice sugar, now, will you take the trash out like I asked?”
