    Who will be victorious this weeke

    For some reason I thought that game was a blowout, but I guess not. Anyway, that was some feat considering the competition. I have an affinity for well coached high school teams, because I played for one of the 5 or 6 best coaches ever in high school ball down in Georgia. Our offense was like...

    Who will be victorious this weeke

    I saw Salem play Northside that year, and up until the sate game y'all were easily the best team I had seen. Very well coached. But LT was just dang good. They were right up there with the best I have seen in anywhere, and I've seen a lot of high school football in several hot bed states for...

    Who will be victorious this weeke

    Any team called the Bulldogs are ok in my book. I'll have to get over and see y'all play sometime next year.

    Who will be victorious this weeke

    You don't see a lot of teams like that anymore. The kids are now bigger, faster, and stronger than in the past, but they are softer too. It's not their fault. It's because they don't practice live very much anymore. There have been limits put on live scrimmages in full pads in order to limit...

    rhs vs galax

    I like it that here in Virginia the smaller classifications aren't made to play their home playoff games at someone else's field because the powers that be don't think your school doesn't have enough seating capacity. It's worth a little discomfort in order for your kids to play state playoff...

    Who will be victorious this weeke

    No, I only saw the state champ game because it was just over the mountain from me at Liberty in Lynchburg, and Parry McClure had been put out of the playoffs by that time. LT reminded me of a couple of teams I used to follow in Georgia where I'm from. I saw a lot of kids out there that I expect...

    Who will be victorious this weeke

    The best high school team I've seen here in Virginia since I moved here 3 years ago was Lake Taylor 2 years ago in the state championship game against Salem. I know they are 4A and Sussex is 1A, but do they have the sane type of speed and athleticism that LT does?

    The count down has started GW PM

    I've heard people from one end of the old Confederacy to, now, the other, and many points in between, nearly always deflate 40 times of players on their favorite high school teams. Just the nature of things.

    Week 13 top 10

    I'l go a step further and contend that all polls should be suspended until after the playoffs are completed.

    Bishop Sullivan vs IMG Academy

    IMG represents everything that is wrong with high school football in these days and times. IMG is a school whose #1 reason for being is to prepare athletes for college sports. I don't think they even play in any kind of high school sports association, and they just barnstorm the country...

    GW vs PM

    Didn't say either of us could win a 4A title, or even 2A. I do think there are a good many 4As in our area that PM could beat, and I bet there are some in your area that GW could take care of business against also. Coaching counts for a lot in high school ball because there is such a large...

    GW vs PM

    I don't equate the term "strange" with "weird" fwiw. Maybe "unfamiliar" might be more apt. Anyway, I have no doubt that y'all are the best program that PM will have played so far this year. I played hs ball in a state that worships Friday night lights and have lived in several other states...

    GW vs PM

    I'll tell y'all GBubs the same thing I told the Hurley folks earlier this week, which is that in order for your kids to win you will need to have more talent than PM to the power of about 5 because they will not be as fundamentally sound, nor will they out execute the Blues. Also, going to...

    Buffalo Gap at Clarke

    I saw Gap play in the 2nd week of the season against Parry McClure, and I have to say they are the most physically tough team I have seen since I moved here from Georgia three years ago. Not the fastest team I've ever seen, but their coaches flat had those boys putting a hat on the ball...
