All teams have 7 games under their belts now and in the "Far East" of the 1A East Region there are a bunch of mediocre to bad teams. Sussex is the king with Franklin the prince. Colonial Beach looks to be #3 and I suppose Essex is 4. From what I've viewed, football out this way in 1A is well below average. I'd only put my money on Sussex and maybe Franklin for a deep post-season run.

I've been saying that for years. Other than a few, football in 1A east has been horrible - extremely top heavy with seeds 5-16 mostly awful.
It all starts with coaching and the coaches in the east are not good. You go east of Richmond, there are 0 good coaches. You can argue for Fulks but he has been loaded with talent for years. His teams are always undisciplined.
Potential teams to reach the championship, my opinion:
East: Riverheads, Sussex Central, Altavista, Franklin, Central Lunenburg
West: Galax, George Wythe, Hurley, Parry McClure
Week 8 prediction: an all-"East" championship Riverheads vs. Sussex Central

Absolutely ridiculous statement. Must've either been passed over for several jobs, fired, or clueless.
You sir just made the most ridiculous statement of the week.Congrats
Should have said there are very few good coaches east of Richmond, that I could have agreed with. I think the coach from colonial beach does a hell of a job, Sussex, Franklin as well.
