    Southern Gap question

    Is there any other reliable information concerning the football schedule? Specifically the first home game?

    Class 3 and Class 4 Title Games Moving For 2026…

    I don’t think it will ever happen. There is some kind of ordinance that restricts the number of events. I guess to appease the residential neighbors? Of course, Richmond could amend the ordinance, but good luck with that!

    New West Ridge High School to relieve overcrowding at Cosby...

    Everyone tends to think about district matchups, (required), strictly in terms of football. Sure, a few football games each season with a lengthy travel distance is no big deal. But what about that same travel distance playing out over an entire school year covering a myriad of other sports...

    Who Is That Team?

    Danny, locally, Prince George. Coach Hall has had time to institute his methods and standards, so if he has fostered “buy-in”, this year should show it. Amelia is on the rise. Winsor was on a roll early last season. I think the program is greatly improved and on solid footing. They just need...

    Lost Rivalries

    I’m going way back, 60’s, but Petersburg and Colonial Heights was pretty big for those communities. Petersburg and Hopewell was big for decades. Still is, really. Closer to home for me, and more recent, Dinwiddie vs Lake Taylor was mighty big. Dinwiddie vs Matoaca is a pretty heated rivalry...

    Union High

    I assume Coach Turner has never been found? Some reports indicate that he is still thought to be alive. Is this the consensus opinion of those close to the situation?

    The brand new Southern Gap High School Eagles

    Will they play football at the current Grundy field? If so, is that the permanent plan or will they build a new football stadium? Is construction of the school still on schedule?

    Hey Wikki?

    Makes no sense that they would not provide a suite. It’s not like they are being used for that game. Thanks, and this cements my decision to not make the trip next week. First, I’m worried about the weather. Second, I don’t care to see Varina or Lake Taylor, and finally since I can’t sneak...

    Hey Wikki?

    Are the Amherst Ladies doing the hospitality at LU this year?

    Nice story about injured Wilson football player and all the support he received.

    Honestly, I believe stories like this are more common than you think. Unfortunately, they get little or no coverage. And they are often overshadowed by sordid news like what is going on at Union and Kettle Run. Just as a small example, a player was hurt earlier this year at Louisa. The normally...

    Varina at Dinwidde Rescheduled for Friday Night, November 21st at 7:00PM

    As I sit here and watch it pouring down rain, thinking that myself, and the rest of the gang that help make football games happen, would be soaked to the core and would be that way the rest of the day. And all the loyal fans would be facing an afternoon of cold wet seats, steady rain, and and...

    Varina at Dinwidde Rescheduled for Friday Night, November 21st at 7:00PM

    When given lemons you just have to make lemonade!!! If the current forecast holds, the little sprinkles Friday should be inconsequential. To be honest, like much of the state, we are getting bone dry here in Dinwiddie. A light sprinkle or two Friday afternoon would get soaked up so quick you...

    Varina at Dinwidde Rescheduled for Friday Night, November 21st at 7:00PM

    No longer in the plans of now. Coach Mills has stated he prefers grass. They made some changes in the turf management and greatly improved the playing surface.

    Varina at Dinwidde Rescheduled for Friday Night, November 21st at 7:00PM

    You are way off base. Not a damn thing wrong or unprofessional with the change. The two AD’s looked at the weather forecast and collectively agreed that it was in the best interest of both teams if they avoided a chance of a slick, muddy field on Saturday. Dinwiddie is natural grass, and took a...
