    4B Official Pairings

    No doubt the foxes will be tough. Thus the need for the wrinkles. Patrick has been studying an old school offense from a powerhouse single A program in PA. Hasn’t run a single play out of the set yet.

    4B Official Pairings

    Ol’ Coach Patrick will have the boys ready to play. I would look for a few wrinkles in the playoffs. I’ve heard from a few folks close to the program that they have been working some under center I-formation stuff. ISO, lead, trap, counter.

    Eastern View @ Louisa.... It's about time this happened......

    Actually I haven’t seen one Louisa poster make a prediction other than it being a close Louisa win. Every EV poster is “certain” that it will be a 2 to 3 score game by mid-3rd quarter and an easy EV win. I appreciate the commentary from the few folks that have actually watched Louisa play this...

    Eastern View @ Louisa.... It's about time this happened......

    Unlike Hoos I don’t say these things every year or week. I’ve been around the program for 13 years and feel like from top to bottom it’s the most complete defense Louisa has had. All 11 fly to the ball on every play. That is definitely the 1st time I’ve said that about an LC defense. Most...

    Eastern View @ Louisa.... It's about time this happened......

    If EVs defense is “much” better than Louisa’s then we should just call this game and the rest of the playoffs because EV will cake walk. To me this game is strength on strength. EV offense vs. Louisa Defense. EVs offense seems to be more explosive, big play type drives where as Louisa’s are...

    Region B #1 Louisa (10-0) vs. #8 Huguenot (4-6)

    Anyone who has played or coached at Louisa wants that LC-EV matchup from all of those tough middle school games up at FT Binns.

    Jefferson District Coach of the Year!

    I guess I will just agree to disagree then. Why would Fischer win it last year going 10-0 when he returned 19/22 starters and Patrick not win it this year when he returned 3/22 starters. Is it simply because Fluvanna was not last in the Jefferson this year? It’s a cute Cinderella story but...

    Louisa & Fluvanna

    I have to disagree about district COY. If the Lions win this game, how do you not give it to Patrick? He is a first year head coach also who had to replace 17 of 22 starters from last years team including 10/11 on offense and they are undefeated. Don’t get me wrong Fluvanna’s coach has done a...

    My 4a top ten

    As a Louisa fan I think that ranking is fair. The two best teams we beat this year we did so without their players in the game. Louisa’s season has been amazing with all they have replaced this year including Brandon Smith essentially not playing any offense, 10 out of 11 starters on offense...

    Region 4B VHSL Standings - Week 8

    I don’t think it’s physical conditioning. Part of playing close games is the mental and emotional conditioning it takes to handle the pressure of end game situations. Having the experience of playing in and winning close games can’t be overlooked. To me that is the value in playing good teams...

    Louisa at Courtland

    Ouch. I think Smith makes everyone better on defense but the Lions are going to have to win some of these early games ugly until the O catches up. Talent is there just young/inexperienced. Coaching will be fine. Patrick was for almost all purposes the HC last year so he will be fine. DC is...

    Louisa at Courtland

    This not always true hammy. You assuredly remember Dylan Rivers senior season. Despite that immense talent things didn’t got as planned for Sherando that year. Louisa has one super talented kid but the maturity of the rest of the inexperienced Lions will determine their season.

    Louisa County 2018 Schedule

    Couldn’t have said it better. I expect the Cougars to have a big year as well. Best team on Louisa’s schedule, so a good measuring stick for the young Lions early in the season. Those Cougars from 2-4 years ago gave the Lions that are graduating a few good beat downs when they were still...
