    Greatest Team in VA History.....

    For best team in VA history I have to mention Phoebus 2008. Scored over 700 points and allowed 54. I don't know if it's the best ever-lots of good teams-but they should be in the conversation.

    NFHS Outlaws Blindside Blocking and Pop-Up Onside Kicks

    The rule doesn't outlaw blindside blocks. It just says that instead of destroying the guy you have to block him with an open hand. Push him instead of crush him when he doesn't see you coming. It'd a good rule, I think.

    Championship venues

    I agree that LU is great for most but it's a horrible location for 5A and 6A.

    I also know a lot of people who thought that playing in front of maybe 10,000 people in a 70,000 seat stadium really hurt the atmosphere.

    Departing for Williamsburg

    Voyage? Aren't you from Gretna? It's a three and a half hour drive. I'll put on my Carnak turban and predict that you'll say that Liberty was a lot better. For those saying that the stadium is too small, it seats 12,000.

    Question concerning full contact in practice

    I doubt that very many teams were affected by the new rule. We hadn't done close to 90 minutes a week in decades.

    Dead Period in Summer

    We seem to be talking about two separate things here. Can a kid who didn't hit the genetic lottery, one who isn't tall enough or fast enough, make himself a scholarship football player through hard work? No. Mom and Dad do that. Can they make themselves into good high school players? Absolutely.

    Dead Period in Summer

    I wasn't surprised to hear that you coached youth football only because your model for building a football team conforms exactly to U13. Your idea that weights can make athletes stronger but won't make them strong is just plain wrong. I know that for a fact because I see it every year. You...

    Dead Period in Summer

    You mean "the old way" where basketball had "open gym" year-round, baseball had "voluntary" fall ball, and coaches of both sports knew their rosters months before "tryouts"?

    Dead Period in Summer

    Since when were we talking about college recruiters? We're talking about high school football. There are planty of very good HS teams that don't have one guy who's a D.1 recruit. I'm curious. You said that you've coached football. What level?
