Indeed ha!
Some of the boys and I walked over to the Gate City side later in the game and chatted with a few folks over there.
I'm not exactly sure what some of the GC fans were still pounding in their thermoses etc. but they were certainly enjoying themselves - snow and all! lol
Good times...
nbthpr9 speaks the truth. That 2003 Group A State Championship v Gate City was nuts. I was there, too.
We rolled up in with an SUV full of partying Essex fans to JMU (I think that is where it was played.) It was quite cold and snowy if I remember correctly.
I was like "WTF!" - Essex had like...
No disrespect at all intended to Essex's opponent next week, but I'd definitely say that the odds of winning the state title are really in Essex's favor this year!
Certainly the odds of an Essex state victory are strong as long as the Trojans keep playing like they have recently.
That loss...
Go Essex! Now go on back to Salem and make sure to bring that freaking elusive State Championship Trophy back this time to Tappahannock & the NND!
The last one was what in 2009?
15 years ago... I remember it well (and many of the devastating losses at Salem too, 2 against Altavista).
It was...
Congrats to Washington and Lee Eagles on the big win and spoiling the Indians' Homecoming festivities.
The Eagles most likely locked up the 3rd seed in the NND/Region A (or should have anyway no matter what the final points say).
That final play of the first half (a crazy long Eagles Pick 6 plus the successful 2 point conversion) was the game, in my opinion. That is what I said to all the folks around me. I don't think that they believed me but well...
Northumberland had mostly controlled the momentum & energy and, with...
Back to the Northumberland Indians, NNDman (our esteemed and award winning NND and old Tidewater area sports writer & historian) would certainly know (remember) way better than me about all the current and past stats etc.
If I recall correctly, Northumberland High School lost 4 of the 5 top...
Look at that shocking loss last night by 5-0 Liberty University to a 0-6 Kennesaw State (27.5 point underdog).
The Owls got their first FBS win ever over Liberty U. (who was riding a 17 regular season game winning streak) by scoring early, gaining and keeping momentum, and then holding on for...
I agree that Essex is certainly the better overall team.
I was just stating that for the Indians to have any chance of winning v Essex or even keeping it close at all, they had to have that early connection...
It is hard indeed to overcome that mental block that most local area teams have when...
Well said, NNDanalyst.
Congrats again to your Rapp boys on the huge win over Essex a couple weeks ago.
I had just commented a bit on the Westmoreland at Northumberland game in the recent My Personal Top 10 thread started by kwhs95fan.
Northumberland still has Rappahannock left to play as well...
Not saying that the Northside (NHS) would have defeated Essex last Friday at all but the game may have taken a very different a turn (momentum swing) had (way early in the game) a Northumberland WR receiver been able to catch a magnificent, wide open 45-50 yard bomb from NHS QB Tyreek Lundy that...
Washington and Lee at Northumberland tomorrow night is a big one. Obviously, Rappahannock and Essex are the elite so far of the Northern Neck and Region A.
The Eagles v the Indians will be the battle for 3rd place or at least the 3rd best team in far eastern Virginia. Should be a good one!
