Calpreps has Essex only by 2.

Final Radford 49, James River 7

Class 2 Bruton edges out Tabb 14-10 to remain undefeated

Union's way too physical and it's clear in the 4th. They are whipping RV on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

Final Holston 26, Patrick Henry 21.

Final. Poquoson 33, York 7

Late 3rd qtr. King William 28, Crackrock 0

Final. Riverheads 14, Staunton 0

Loris 40, Waccamaw 7, late 3rd

Bingo. No cells on the sidelines period

Let me calculate that. It's a 112-16+71= 167. A 167 point turn around for Colgan and Freedom in only 24 months.

That is consistent and very impressive

We will see. I think like anything else, some schools, ADs, and coaches will act on it and do the right thing and some will not.

Spot on man. I understand Princeton is appealing the 2 kids out against Beckley, but will likely lose. WV doesn't mess around and those 2 losses are so big that Beckley (Woodrow Wilson) may actually beat Princeton and give them their first loss. Beckley has a pretty good football team up there this year. I hope Beckley beats Princeton also. Behave like an arse over and over, and a loss could serve them well. It likely would mean Princeton is traveling at some point to Bridgeport or Fairmont Sr in the playoffs if they get a loss. If....if they travel, it's huge. Princetons actions seem kind of small right now. They have the ability to actually effect whether they win a state title because it appears Princeton and Bridgeport and even Fairmont are very close in level if play and home field advantage could be the decisive factor come playoff time.

Good stuff and I wish you would post more JG. I played against you in some hoops tournaments way way back in the day and that bunch from the Bluefields.

Wish I could have your gift to put it like that. I tried, but you write it way better. Absolutely spot on with everything you wrote in my opinion. What's happening is sadly, a symptom of a very sick society that is unfortunately and pessimisticlly, getting sicker.

Want to know why the kids do it? It's not just about the coach not liking it or allowing it. That would have been the case 10 to 15 years ago. We are now in an age where deep down, internally, a decent amount of coaches actually LIKE IT. That's the real sickness.

Solution. 1. All coaches shown the clips today by 5pm. 2. When tomorrow at 7am comes, if your kids engage in this, the kid is removed from the football team and you don't get your coaching bonus/stipend. 3. If it happens a second time, you are fired. Will the above work or happen? Zero chance. Why? We live in a modern day Sodom where less and less people do the right thing or to put in other terms, moral relativism which is continuing to cripple the majority of institutions in the west (Western Europe, the US, Canada).

Massey and Calpreps on Nelson County and Appo? Completely two different planets and the difference is the largest I've ever witnessed between the two since looking at them. A 38 pt difference as Massey has Appo winning by 35 and Calpreps has Appo losing by 3. That's crazy

Yep. Rural Retreat and Lebanon a good one also and I hope by the Grace of God (because he will need to intervene for it too happen) that Giles and GW is a good one.

Same here except I'll take RC by 14 pts

Same here and I still would love to understand how their rating and ranking don't correlate strongly.

Pure numbers for Calpreps. They know that when their computer comes up with a margin of victory of 10 pts, their winning percentage is historically correct 74% of the time that the team picked to win by 10 actually does win.

Same opinion here

They have to stop with her retiring because organizations with poor leadership always have a few isolated specialty areas where one person does that job and if the person leaves, then the organization is in trouble and tries to catch up in that area. Anytime you have an organization where only 1 person is trained to do a certain task and nobody else is trained, its a redflag out of any organizational leadership/management textbook that the leadership of that organization is not good or very flawed. What does a Normal organization do? It always has more than 1 person trained to do specialized tasks in case the primary person is out, leaves, sick, or retires. The VHSL has been talking about this person retiring for over 1 year, so they will have had 2 years to prepare. Certainly then, they would train another person, right? NOPE they simply get rid of the task and give it to the regions, but the whole time through it all, the money is protected first and foremost. They aren't taking any money losses. That's the VHSL and similar to ao many other organizations in 2024 of the USA. Tainted and toxic. Sad, but true.
