    Clover Hill could easily lose to Meadowbrook. Meadowbrook has a lot of kids who have started 2-3 years coming back. PG is not beating Colonial Heights. Deep Run and Meadowbrook games will be a coin flip. Godwin will be no better than 6-4 and that’s with a weak schedule.

    Godwin will not go 6-4 Matoaca will be no worse than 7-3 No way Prince George wins 3 games Clover Hill will be 1-9 Bird could all go 8-2 or 5-5. Bird will be underdogs vs Dale and Manchester. Cosby, River, Midlothian, Huguenot will all be close games. The Dominion will have more parity this...

    They might be my favorite amongst the Div 5 schools in the RVA area. I admittedly don’t know a ton about Louisa, Albemarle, William Fleming, Patrick Henry and Franklin county.

    Most people I have spoken to think Matoaca will be the 3rd best team in Chesterfield and top 4-5 in Region 5. Manchester and Dale are the only teams that have the top tier talent that Matoaca has.

    Majority of LCA didn’t transfer over but at least 4-6 D1 kids did. Most of the LCA kids reclass and that causes issues with returning to public school if they played at one. Dabneys been at LCA for years and I believe the older brother Michael reclassed in middle school. Markel is the better...

    RB Lowe is a very good player. He split carries with Townes-fox and Williams but it would have been his backfield this yr. Bird won’t have an issue of finding a RB, pretty much ever. Bird needs a QB who can be a threat in the pass game. You can’t be so 1 dimensional and compete for a region...

    Playoff Droughts

    Joel Caleb was probably the 1st or 2nd highest rated recruit in the Dominion in 12-15 years. He went to Tech and ended up being a WR at Norfolk State, but he was a top 100 player for the majority of HS career. Clover Hill also had a LB Holland Fisher who was a special athlete. Fisher had off...

    I know coaches on all 3 staffs. The coaching community in the Dominion is small and a lot of the guys have worked with each other at other schools or know each other through Youth football. Midlothian returns proven QB in Chambers and playmakers like WR Kleski and RB Sowers. Was told they kept...

    Midlo is going to be good. They have been for years. The Dominion District will be loaded this year. Cosby, Huguenot, Manchester, Bird and James River will all be dangerous too.

    2023 Playoff Picture?

    Bird will be good but have to replace a lot more than people think. DL Moosh, skill guys Lewis, Carpenter, Collins, OL Barlowe are proven. Rising Junior Jaqui Vaughn has big time potential. Freeman losing DE/TE Abbey and 3 Really good OL and the RB Martin is going to very hard to replace. DL...

    Week 6 Rankings 1. HSHS (5-0) travels to face a somewhat down (for them) Colonial Forge team that is 2-2. CF lost both of their games by 6 points and could keep it close for a half, but HSHS should win this game by 3+ scores. This will be their toughest test besides Varina left on their...

    My proposed realignment - 5A

    Nice work. But it is better the way it is currently set up. I have no complaints.

    Final: Midlo 42- 35 Manchester

    Midlothian lost to Glen Allen and Manchester. One of my golfing partners grandson plays on the Midlothian JV Team. He said the team has been decimated by injuries and covid protocol the last month. Midlothian won 15 games in a row before the two losses. Midlothian people I know fired about...
