    Spring Football is coming

    Seniors who sign in December likely will not play in spring of 2021. Personally I do not think there will be spring football. I do not see anything changing come February of 2021. Still no vaccine, still no cure and all of the schools will still be going virtually. I do not see this happening. I...

    Content you want?

    Several D3 conferences have canceled football this year. Ivy league canceled and now Big 10 only going conference games and we are being told that is the tip of the iceberg. I highly doubt there will be a fall high school football season. Especially up north.

    I found nothing offensive at all. I get political debate but that is not what this board is for. Got to Fox News or MSNBC. You want to debate politics go on facebook and argue with millions of Americans. I have been on this board for 20 years and there is no need for ridiculous political...

    NO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS!! Please block them! Focus on recruiting, recruiting profiles, team profiles, coaches interviews. Discussions on all time great teams. Maybe teams of each decade? All time great players and greatest players of each decade. Discuss great all time rivalries, greatest games...

    I SECOND THAT!!! I was a political science major undergrad 25 plus years ago and have taught US Government for 20 plus years. These silly crazy political discussions on this board were absolutely ridiculous and have no place. Please more about recruiting, profiles on schools and coaches, debates...

    new VHSL guidelines for sports

    I work in Fairfax County. I just received an email that our school board approved two proposals for next year. 1. Start part time. Students come twice a week and work from home twice a week. Smaller classes per CDC guidelines. 2. All virtual online - no face to face with students. Something...

    Will there be a season?

    As a good friend of mine constantly reminds me all the time - NOBODY CARES!! Really nobody cares about your opinion you will not change their opinion. Lets get back to football and stop with the CNN / Fox News BS propaganda. Keep it on football. NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT POLITICS!

    Just Different!

    Starts with one man - Coach Loren Johnson. I had the pleasure to work with him his first year at SJ in 2003 when he was a very young head coach. The past 17 years I have called him a good friend. He starts with character, academics and after that focuses on the athletics. They are different...

    FWIW- Lafayette football notice

    Hey preaching to the choir. I want them to play. I have kids in my house who will be crushed it they can not play. I am for it. But I am telling you there are a lot of hurdles to overcome. I hope we do get to play but there are a lot of moving parts and I worry that it is not going to be cut and...

    FWIW- Lafayette football notice

    If we start the year with online virtual classes I can not see how you can have 50-100 kids on the field with 10 - 20 coaches and managers daily. Think of all of the non social distancing that is happening during this period. During August we would have a team meeting daily with over 75 players...

    FWIW- Lafayette football notice

    The VHSL has cancelled all summer workouts in June and July. The word I have heard from some pretty important people is that likely bring kids in Early September for formal practices and play a shortened 5/6 game season with no playoffs. If we have a season at all that is the likely scenario I...

    Oscar Smith vs South County

    I was not at the game and I did not watch it but I did comment last week when OS beat Forge that they better not have PAT/Kicking issues. In games like this they usually are the difference. From what I heard they missed a PAT and missed a FG. Not sure if it was just a rough two weeks for Smith...

    South County 28 - Westfield 21

    Yes I agree the two way guys do eventually wear down. That can be a problem. Does OS have a kicker? That is a legit and real questions. You can not go for 2 in a championship or not have the ability to get easy 3 points inside 20/15 red zone if offered. Should be a great game. Sounds like...

    South County 28 - Westfield 21

    Couple of points - Oscar Smith is good but look at Saturdays game v Forge - 1. Scored on a trick halfback toss play. 2. Scored on a busted out of the pocket play that goes 50 yds on 4th down and 8 (Obvious act of desperation). 3. They scored 18 points - Do they have a kicker? Can they kick...
