    Shenandoah District Teams Open With Non-District Slate

    I had the same trouble picking that one. Draft is usually tough at home, but the last few years the Bull Run teams have been tough anywhere!

    Shenandoah District Teams Open With Non-District Slate

    Wow......it is unanimous so far, so you know what that means...........somebody will have to pull the upset!

    Shenandoah District Teams Open With Non-District Slate

    The district is in the second year of a two-year cycle, so everyone's schedule should be the same as last year. Once again, with nine teams in the district, when the teams get into district play, that will involve four district games each week with the ninth team either having a bye or having a...

    Final Scores (Friday Aug 21)

    I don't have any details or score to report but I had a brief conversation today with some Waynesboro people and they told me that Rocktown "rocked" them pretty good in their scrimmage last night. I assume the scrimmage was played at Waynesboro. So that may mean that the expectations for the...

    Bluefield Visits Riverheads for Big Red's Second Scrimmage

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, tonight's scrimmage in Greenville somewhat resembled last week's at Turner Ashby as the Gladiators faced off against a potent passing team and tried to keep pace with their own running game. As most people expected, the visiting Beavers pretty much...

    Riverheads and Turner Ashby show their stuff in season's first scrimmage

    It was a hot one in Bridgewater tonight......so much in fact that the action started almost 45 minutes late due to an announced "heat delay." There was a JV scrimmage first, which was a defensive slugfest in which neither team scored. They played two series each of 10 untimed downs, followed by...

    My early look at the Shenandoah District Season

    I had not heard that news about Blair. Regardless of the personnel they have, Waynesboro has had spunk the last year or so, and sooner or later it should pay off for them.

    Confirmation on Salem hosting C1-4 football championships

    I am just now catching up to this news. Salem has always been convenient for me personally for the Class 1 and 2 finals,. And I guess I have no opinion one way or another on Class 3 and 4. But if they ever move Classes 5 and 6 there, I have to say that would seem illogical, for the simple reason...

    My early look at the Shenandoah District Season

    This fall the 'Doah could be about as unpredictable and evenly-matched as it has been in years. For a long stretch, Riverheads dominated, with Stuarts Draft challenging on occasion. But last season it was all about Wilson and the new kid on the block, Alleghany. Then when playoff time rolled...

    Patrick Henry Rolls Past Riverheads in State Semis

    Fans of the Gladiators are accustomed to leaving Salem with smiles on their faces, but that was not the case today as the Patrick Henry Rebels from Glade Spring pounced on the Big Red early and often and romped to a five-inning 13-1 victory. They will now play Rappahannock for the state title...

    Riverheads Edges Lancaster 2-0 in Classic Pitchers' Duel

    Although the next game is tomorrow morning, a local news story covering this Lancaster game helped me see that I shortchanged Berkstresser on one key point. So I figured it is never too late to correct an error. In the fifth, after Braly hit that double, I implied in my post that Berk left him...

    Riverheads Edges Lancaster 2-0 in Classic Pitchers' Duel

    According to the information I have pieced together the other quarter-final winners were Rappahannock, Patrick Henry and Chilhowie. So on Friday morning, Rappahannock and Chilhowie will meet in the 9:00 AM game, followed by Riverheads and Patrick Henry around 11:30. I also read that the second...

    Riverheads Edges Lancaster 2-0 in Classic Pitchers' Duel

    Two excellent high school hurlers at opposite ends of their career locked horns this afternoon on the Gladiator diamond and each one clearly brought his A game. But the issue was decided in the bottom of the third inning when a pair of senior team-leaders each made a heads up (or in one case a...

    Gladiators Top Luray 4-1 to Win Region 1-B.

    In a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish, Riverheads got the two biggest hits of the entire season just when they needed them the most as they held off a very good Bulldog team. As a result of this game and the Region 1-A title game, which I have just been told...

    I have now read that Luray beat William Campbell 7-0 and will be Riverheads' opponent in Thursday's regional final. Also the Buffalo Gap girls topped Luray 5-2 and will host William Campbell, also on Thursday.
