I agree with you about DD being one of, if not, The Best VAHS football players I ever saw. I don't think he was mentioned because he had already graduated before the 90 team won the first championship. He was a part of the 87 squad that lost to James Monroe 10-9 in the championship game. The article focuses on the 90, 93, & 00 squads.No mention of Rustburg great Danny Davis! I've seen a lot of good ones in Virginia, and I can count on one hand the players who I think were better than Davis(and still have fingers left over)
I had to look it up. Looks like in 98 Nottoway beat Rustburg, in 99 Brookville beat Handley, and in 00 Rustburg beat NottowayThey were awesome back then mike ! My Daughter was a cheerleader for rust burg when they made a great run . They lost in 99 if I remember right to Nottaway at Charlottesville HS then they won in 2000 at James Madison over turner ashby on a field goal near the end . For some reason I was thinking she went to 3 championships , chime in . I went to Appomattox back in 78-80 and my kids went to rustburg . Some great HS football there for a long time , I am now in Myrtle beach football here is very much like back home !
Danny Davis was awesome. Former EC Glass Coach Bo Henson said Alan Iverson was the best High School player he ever saw. Iverson scored 6 different ways in the State Championship game. I also just heard that he had 7 interceptions in 1 game. He was the fastest and the quickest player I have ever seen. Virginia has been blessed with some truly gifted players.Seen a bunch of them as well. The best all around (both sides of the football) high school football player I've ever seen was Deangelo Hall at Deep Creek. He was unbelievable. I saw Curry, Vick, Terry Kirby, and most in the Tidewater in the 80's and 90's before moving back home to the Mountains. Hall was just that good in all phases, offense, defenses, at QB, at RB, at slot, at DB, at punt return, etc Punt block? That also.
I was fortunate enough to see Randy Moss in High School and he's the best High School player I've ever seen on offense. Another great player I got to see while living in Denver for one year was basketball great Chauncy Billups. He was the Ronald Curry of the midwest. Unbelievable QB (All American) and defensive back. Just a freak athlete who turned down Football for Basketball out of George Washington High in Denver.
Close on Iverson, but I think the score of that game was 27-0. He threw for one, ran of one, pick 6 for one and punt return.Danny Davis was awesome.

I stand corrected Tribe. I'm getting old and my memory is fading(HaHa)!Close on Iverson, but I think the score of that game was 27-0. He threw for one, ran of one, pick 6 for one and punt return.
