    Bird vs Matoaca

    Tough ending to a good season for the Warriors. Bird controlled the LOS. Neither team was able to drive the ball consistently, it was a classic defensive battle. Once again the penalties really hurt Matoaca. They had a KR TD called back and they also had a penalty on a blocked FG. Three...

    Matoaca v Warhill

    Agreed, Warhill was overmatched inside and ran into a brick wall repeatedly. I don’t think they had the speed to beat Matoaca to the edges. Warhill was scrappy, and the QB looked like he has the potential to be a tough runner. It looked like a few players sustained serious injuries and I...

    Poor va high

    It’s tough. They have an unfair advantage because of their teams make up and the way they bring kids in. I have seen this type of thing before on other schools and other sports. It is more of an issue in basketball, especially at a lower division because 1 or 2 kids can make such a big difference

    Cayden Cook Cash

    I think some of them are there because they love it. Just making the team is a dream come true for some players. In some cases football provides the structure and balance that allows them to succeed in college. The training and practice schedule is a grind and it is time consuming, but some...

    Did it end 7-6 Galax?

    I think it’s more likely that the staff is getting great effort out of hard working kids, than to try to say all this talent is being squandered. Just some average sized kids busting their butts.

    Dead wrong. I don’t think you can find any of us who he actually coached who will agree with you.

    Essex-Altavista

    I’m a proud Trojan so I hope they go all the way. AltaVista has a strong program with a storied history, and it looks like they are climbing back up to their former glory. I can’t make it to the game. But I hope Essex plays a great game and Coach Jones keeps it rolling. TCB!

    Matoaca (Reg C) at Stone Bridge (Reg D)

    Good Luck Matoaca!! I hope they play to their ability. It’s been a blast to watch these guys. I have a family member on the team and I’ve been watching most of these little dudes since they were in flag. It’s awesome to see them growing up and still loving the game. Way back in the day I...

    Region A Brackets

    Unfortunately he was out for the last week or 2 of the regular season and TRD tournament. He returned for the regional game Vs Bruton. But as soon as he entered the game he had to exit. It’s tough to watch a kid who has worked so hard not be able to go. I think he was an all state selection...
