    Do the crime do the time.

    Why have rules? Why have referees to enforce rules? Why have penalties for breaking these rules? Unsportsmanlike conduct is taboo on all levels of sports. Two separate incidents of this gets you a one game suspension. Good rule for educating young people to learn your actions, good or bad...

    Greatest Team in VA History.....

    Danny Davis of Rustburg dominated both sides of the ball. Running back who could out run or run over people. On defense he was sideline to sideline linebacker that hit like a truck. Kicked off and seemed like he'd make every tackle afterwards. We tried putting two guys on him and it didn't work...

    Richlands vs Appomattox

    Coaches can and should constantly remind players about their behavior and actions on and off the field. Key thing is that must apply to all players, not just the 2nd/3rd teamers. Players need to know this. If you, as a coach, hold your best players accountable at all times, not just when...

    Appomattox vs. Giles

    Amherst was running Single Wing because of injuries to QB. What they ran was kind of a slow motion attack that had very little mis-direction and was basically a power game. Amherst was supposed to have as good, if not better athleticism than Appomattox. Appomattox made them look slow when...

    Running up score

    Years ago, I had a team that was down by 60+ to a team that won the state that year. They had a squad of about 35 and were wearing all white uniforms so you could see who had played and who didn't (it was a mud bowl type of field that night). It was at least 40-0 at half. The very last series...

    Nelson county leaving Dogwood, not eligible for playoffs.

    I've coached for several schools throughout VA for 30+ years and all schools / sports are different. What's important at one school is an afterthought at others. Football is the toughest sell at small schools because of the sheer lack of overall numbers in the school, plus Nelson Co. Is a...

    Gretna @ Appomattox predictions

    Appomattox by 40. Gretna not what they are used to be. JV scores have very little relevance. Wet field shouldn't affect outcome either.

    Changes in heat guidelines needed

    My nephew suffered a severe heat related episode 20+ years ago during a football practice. Because of this he still suffers the effects from it in hot weather. Before this HS episode, he hadn't had any problems before.

    Best athlete you've seen on the football field

    Coached against Danny Davis 2 years. He didn't play one year because he his missed mandatory wt lifting. We couldn't stop him when he had the ball and our runners didn't want to have the ball when he was a linebacker. He was a better LB than Rb and he was the best RB I've seen in 35 years of...
