    Coleton Beck Under Armour game

    This week in the Seminole #3

    At some point one of these top teams in the district has to follow up a good win with another good win. Both Heritage and EC Glass must feel like they were too satisfied with big wins over Appomattox and Heritage respectively, and had a let down in their next game. Now it is Brookville's turn...

    To all the nonbelievers

    Not a non-believer, just hadn't seen Glass yet to believe in them. I had seen Heritage and they had impressed me. This Glass team is a damn good group. Woody and his staff has developed a disciplined style that Glass hasn't had in years. There have been great athletes on the field for them...

    Couple of undefeated games

    Based on the results so far, I am not sure anyone is going to hang with Heritage. They got revenge in a tough game with Appomattox last week, hung 50+ on Northside in one half when Salem only won 27-0 vs the Vikings, and controlled the benefit game vs last year's runner up when it was 1s vs 1s...

    Appo-LCA Benefit game

    After attending both the Heritage and LCA benefit games, I believe LCA is going to compete and be over .500 in Seminole district play this year. LCA was big and physical on the lines, and very solid fundamentally. They will struggle with the teams with good lines and speed, so Heritage and maybe...

    Top Talent in each region?

    Just to make you aware, the Graves kid is not just a good HS player, D3 level athlete. ESPN top 300 4 star, and 3 star from other services. Committed to NC State after sophomore year. Possibly kept him from getting more exposure if he shut down recruiting, but sites show offers from VT, Tenn...

    Appomattox holds meeting on head injuries

    It is good to see high school programs acknowledge this issue. Hopefully it means they are taking measures in their training and techniques to reduce the risk of sustaining concussions. I do wish that football wasn't the sole target of this problem in the media. They use it because of its...

    Give a Top 10 and 3 HR

    LCA has lost appeal to some higher level high school transfers because of this new situation. Ex. Rashad Jennings- transferred after sophomore (junior?) Year at JF with bad GPA. Repeated soph year and classes and bad grades from those JF classes were wiped off his record, still had another...

    Give a Top 10 and 3 HR

    Thanks for correction on the date, I was a little off. Your last paragraph is what makes this tough for them now, harder to project development a couple years down the line than it is to bring in a proven good sophomore or junior and have them repeat a year. I know for a fact over the last few...

    Give a Top 10 and 3 HR

    Almost every school in the country has a kid that is 19 during football season, but most seniors are 18 and 17 during season. Even in the private leagues in VA there is an age restriction. Rule is you are not eligible if you turn 19 before July, I believe. In vhsl you only have 8 semesters...

    Give a Top 10 and 3 HR

    LCA is still going to be loaded with old 18 and young 19 year old players. The only difference in their reclassify and recruiting is it needs to be done by 8th grade, so kids can repeat 8th. More projecting a kids development than grabbing good athletes from other schools who might have slacked...

    My Region D Playoff Preview

    Well, according to things posted earlier, I have learned things don't change much throughout the season. Blacksburg's significant improvement from middle of season on never happened. And familiarity, or lack there of, with an opponents scheme has no effect. Byrd killed Staunton river, Salem...

    My Region D Playoff Preview

    You're right about guessing and that was kind of my point. Trying to figure results of matchups that didn't happen or even rematches that didn't happen is guess work, and whether 6A or 1A outcomes aren't guaranteed. But it seems like some educated guesses don't count if the conventional thinking...

    My Region D Playoff Preview

    No doubt about Highland Springs being loaded, I saw their OL out in wild with no pads on, I thought WWE was in town. They were not invincible though, Meadowbrook pulled an upset. Might have been a case of overlooking, injuries, suspensions, whatever; they got beat. Like I said, even though...

    My Region D Playoff Preview

    In the last Altavista title year, the senior class alone had an FBS DB, FCS RB, 3 D2 LBs (Johnson twins went on to play basketball), and a D2 WR/DB. Plus some D3 guys for depth. Year before they had Navy Jones too. Appomattox in the last 2 years has had a FBS longsnapper, 7 D2 signees (3 DB...
