    Oscar Smith vs Varina

    Do you think them vs smith is bigger game for Varina or Smith? I get the sense Varina may have more talent as far as D1 recruits go than Smith ( smith has some solid future college players with that said) but in a weird way I feel as though it’s a bigger game for Varina. Side note with sarcasm...

    Confirmation on Salem hosting C1-4 football championships

    To go a cut deeper on your point, when they had the old classifications A,AA,AAA (the best teams had to actually play each other in the playoffs there weren’t as many complaints about travel because the best teams in each region of the state had to play each other. Now 2-8 teams traveling 2 hrs...

    Confirmation on Salem hosting C1-4 football championships

    I agree with that to an extent. However, one could make the argument that looking at VA football as a whole compared to other states isn’t really that big or popular to cater to a casual fan so regardless it will be more alumni/ student/ parents or as you said diehards outweighing the casual...

    Oscar Smith vs Varina

    I don’t believe power ratings mean much. Maury won’t get many points and they’ll steamroll to the state playoffs. Same with Varina since they will play worse competition in the postseason

    Confirmation on Salem hosting C1-4 football championships

    Same with two NOVA teams playing for a class 6A championship at ODU. On top of that, NOVA has essentially gotten screwed every year with the “being too far” logic. The argument works both ways. Your not going to please everyone

    Oscar Smith vs Varina

    Yep exactly my reasoning for saying the trenches will determine the outcome. On a larger scale I think that’s why VA as a whole can’t get over the hump with these national powers including the WCAC schools for the most part. Just not enough strength/depth up front. But when it comes to Varina’s...

    Oscar Smith vs Varina

    I do believe Smith has more to lose as they have been a dynasty for over 2 decades and more established powerhouse than Varina. With that said, about the matchup itself for this year, it does seem as though Varina may have a tad more talent than Smith but Lonnie is a more pure Qb than Wyche IMO...

    I think the St James would at least be favored over any VHSL team based off of roster depth and size ( being able to recruit the way they can)

    Is it true? Saw on Instagram it’s confirmed. If so what are some folks thoughts?

    Let’s have some fun while we wait for the schedule release…

    I’ll go Graham vs Salem - Salem has some talent coming back with several guys with offers. (not as good up front as years past especially last season) I imagine they will be more physical now. Graham- solid program, checked their roster and they’re huge for a 2A school. Have some depth

    Highland Springs Springers Football

    I’m wondering if Smith is working to solidify a home game vs Gonzaga. Gonzaga would come down here if that were the case since they played last year.

    Highland Springs Springers Football

    I forgot about the friendship game so that makes sense. As far as not wanting play someone, not sure sure if that means they duck or just in talks with other teams etc.. I’m not sure but it’s like boxing in a way that no in state teams want to play haha. James Madison playing one of those teams...
