Folks in this thread are sticking to teams that have been in 4A the last few years except for a couple of posts that mentioned Louisa who is moving from 5A to 4A next year. Is there anyone else moving from 5A to 4A or maybe from 3A to 4A who should be in the discussion? Have a good one!
I googled yesterday and a site I looked at said Louisa is 804, that's why I asked. A few years ago a new area code was added for the 540 area. We have to dial the area code now when calling another 540 number because exchanges (3 digit first number) are duplicated in both 540 and the newer...
I remember when Varina was in the Battlefield. That was the latter part of the 1955 - 1977 timeframe. At that time Spotsylvania was the only high school in the county. Now the talent is split 5 ways and not very evenly due to the school zones and which neighborhoods go to which school...
It looks like from the snippet above that all transfers will have to sit out a year. I don't know if that is right but if it is, that would be the difference. There may be some exceptions that aren't included in the snippet.
Spotsylvania HS is in the most rural portion of the county. There is a residential neighborhood on Brock Road and I assume any school age kids that live at lake Anna attend Spotsy HS. The heavily populated residual areas/neighborhoods in Spotsy County are around the other high schools and...
I wouldn't say KG never had any major success, it just wasn't recently. They played in the State Championship game in 1995. I think they lost in the state semis either the year before or after that (not 100%) sure. That's when they had the Parker brothers. They've had players go to...
All season, JM moved the ball from the other team's end to their end by looking down court and passing the ball. Today it was one person dribbling and LB made them pay for that. LB also did a great job of getting down the court both on defense and when transitioning to offense. LB getting...
Congratulations Lord Botetourt. They played very smart when they got the lead. JM had a great season. JM played two class 5 teams from Spotsy (Riverbend and Massaponax) who both played in their regional playoffs. It would be good to add other tougher non-district games. Culpeper is the...
I was surprised to see an article on this in today's Free Lance Star. Lunsford played for Spotsylvania HS. Getting to coach at his alma mater is the why in the article.
I'm hoping to keep up with the Atlee/Glass and Varina/John Handley games on NFHS Network tonight. Imagine the Siegel Center if it's Atlee vs Varina for the Class 4 Championship.. Good luck to all teams. Have a good one!
I agree with neutral sites. Did playing the semis and finals change when they went to 6 classifications? Going to 6 classifications resulted in a lot more games. There are 2 boys and 2 girls games in each classification in the semis - that's 4 games per classification. With 6...
You are correct on all accounts. I also don't condone taunting or punching or any other extracurricular activity. I hope that JM has taken time today to talk to their players to make sure this never happens again. I only really initially responded because I didn't want anyone to judge the...
