    My hats off…!

    Middle school is the wild-west in several communities across the state in terms of where kids might shift around to certain programs within a community. If I understand the rules correctly (and I am open to correction) a major difference for LCA is you simply have to enroll before 9th grade...

    My hats off…!

    I am under the impression that the attendance zone for LCA only applies in the case of transfer student eligibility. If an LCA student lives in Bedford County (or anywhere else) and enrolls at LCA in 8th grade, then wouldn't he or she be eligible to compete for LCA without moving into the...

    Should VHSL just crown LCA 3A state Champs?

    Is a VIAAA championship one of those things you can win playing like 11 games? I swear VES in Lynchburg won it one year playing a total of 10-11 games.

    Should VHSL just crown LCA 3A state Champs?

    There is an important distinction between Lynchburg-area vs state-wide folks, because some locals saw the current state of affairs coming down the tracks years ago & have been complaining about the competitive dynamics in play the whole time.

    Glass at Salem

    It is a very good thing the 2022 Hilltoppers didn't read this post before the game last year.

    What’s the best area in VA for HS Football?

    From Ben Cates with the Lynchburg News & Advance: For the last 21 years, at least one team from Lynchburg or its surrounding counties have advanced to a state championship game. The last year a team from the area didn't play in a state title game was 2001. Prior to that, at least one area squad...

    You make compelling points. Bring back the old Western District.

    Class 4 Boys Championship

    So wait...we go from Glass supposedly not having any fan support, then we produce photographic evidence that we have great fan support, and now you want to run us out of the district?

    Class 4 Boys Championship

    Would love to hear what bowlingref has to say about E.C. Glass fan support after that one. What a sporting event.

    Region 4D Championship

    I agree in general with respect to W's vs. fans catchtds, but I also tire of folks in the suburban, county and private school camps who perpetuate myths about my high school. Most of them play in crappy facilities and crow about "filling" their shoebox stadiums, while E.C. Glass...

    Region 4D Championship

    Thanks for expanding on this topic. You seem to conflate Glass and Heritage a lot. What is similar about those schools that influences your perception of community support?

    Region 4D Championship

    That gym was full and absolutely rocking. Again, bowlingref's constant comments about lack of fan support for the city schools are BS when it comes to E.C. Glass football and basketball. Any theories as to his motivation?
