    Class 4 Region D: Mid-season (almost) Ratings Points Projections

    I got to wondering how the seedings might shake out for Class 4 Region D, in view of the strong possibility that there could be four teams with 10-0 records and another at 9-1. Specifically, as a Salem fan, I was concerned that Salem’s opponents’ (with the exceptions of PH and Dinwiddie)...

    Region4D

    Appreciate the info on the Winchester-area teams. What school offered the Handley quarterback?

    Region4D

    Handley and Sherando are also both 4-0. They will play each other in the regular season. Handley gave JF a good game in the regional semis last year, so I suspect they are for real. In the thirteen seasons since GW dropped to what is now called Class 4, they have reached the regional...

    Salem 38, Dinwiddie 14

    Great effort by Salem tonight. Aside from a dropped TD pass in the end zone and a botched punt return, both in the first half, not too much to criticize about the Spartans’ performance. The defense was outstanding; such an incredible turnaround from last year on that end of the field. I dare...

    Dinwiddie vs Salem

    I heard Overstreet is “dinged up” a bit. He dressed out and warmed up, so I guess he could’ve played if absolutely necessary. Fortunately, they didn’t need him. Oliver did a great job at qb. Had a sure TD pass dropped.

    Dinwiddie vs Salem

    As a Spartan fan, it would be nice to see Salem finally win one of these regular season marquee matchups. Since 2017, Salem’s 0-8 against Dinwiddie (0-3), Martinsburg (0-3), and LCA (0-2). Through the first three weeks of the regular season, both the Spartans and Generals have played the same...

    What’s teams had the best talent but worse record in recent history ?

    Yeah, I don’t agree with the OP’s premise as laid out in their first sentence. And the 2023 Spartans don’t belong in this conversation. Yes, it was disappointing they didn’t win the state, but they are still among the top seven or eight teams in school history, IMHO. Aside from two narrow losses...

    What’s teams had the best talent but worse record in recent history ?

    The regular season meeting with Byrd in 2016. That was an important win for Salem, coming off of an open week after a very disappointing season-opening loss to Amherst. We didn’t realize at the time how good that Byrd team was. They would finish 10-2, with both losses being narrow ones to the...

    Yes, Marshall-Walker was the one I couldn’t remember.

    Armstrong High School with a…

    I seem to recall in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, the Richmond city schools combined their sports teams, I suppose for budgetary reasons. If I have this correct, the schools didn’t consolidate, the teams from different schools just combined to compete together as one entity. So there was...

    Great summary of an awesome trip. The pleasure was all mine. I don’t think I live up to your kind words, but I sure do appreciate them.

    Craig County Posts Historic Win

    They’re dancing in the streets - or rather, the street - in New Castle tonight. In their fifty-fifth season of football and fifth trip to the postseason, the Rockets claimed their first-ever playoff victory, at the expense of Bath County, 27-0. Congrats to the Craig County team and fans! The...

    Questions for those with knowledge of SWVA!

    This should be a great trip. I predict your wife will be glad she went. Of course, I also predicted Salem would be one of the best teams in the region this year, so be aware there is some margin for error. I ate at Bellacino’s my only visit to Grundy. It ain’t bad.

    CLASS 5 REGION C Football Standings

    PH should be able to get a first-round win, especially if they land the top seed. After that, the semis are iffy, and I definitely don’t see them winning the region. Fleming had an excellent chance to make the state semis last year, but from what I understand, they got several key guys banged...
