FactChecker2022 reacted to SWVAgridiron in Riverheads vs Radford
Any Spartans attending the second game can come up to the top of the bleachers at the 20 closest to the scoreboard. We’re forming a “Spartans for Maroon Tide” section.

Riverheads coaches and players won’t panic.

FactChecker2022 reacted to Bearcat Bob in Regional Semis Score Updates
My post was in response to someone saying that an earlier playoff game not involving Riverheads would decide who represented the East side of the state. It was a reminder that the 7 time state champ would have say in that matter…and now they have had the final say on that.

Stopping the run of Riverheads for whoever they face will be a tall task.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know.
PWO means Preferred WALK ON.
Preferred means he has a roster spot but the school gave no athletic aid.
The young man, like Brody Jones, is betting on himself. And I think everybody on this board is pulling for both of those young men to be successful.

FactChecker2022 got a reaction from BandanaVTDavis4321 in 4.29
𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Disclaimer: this post is by no means meant to disparage Dominick Collins. Collins is an outstanding young athlete who will no doubt play football at the next level.
It is however a shame that he was put in the position of having to actually post on his twitter account that he didn’t run a 4.29 at the Combine.
Think about a 4.29 40-yard dash for a minute. A 4.29 even hand timed would translate to an electric time of around 4.46. 4.46 makes you one of the ten fastest WRs at the NFL combine. 4.29 translates to about a 9.79 100m. That means you are faster than the 2020 Olympic champion in the 100m.
Unfortunately this type of information being put out by the people who run this combine is exactly why this combine should be considered a laughingstock by college programs. When you put out a time like 4.29 you have devalued all of the information you are putting out. A young man who ran 4.6 is suddenly looked at as a guy who runs 4.75 or 4.80. None of the information can be trusted.
And then for the combine to hide behind the fact that multiple college coaches verified the time. Think about the coaching malpractice they are implying. They want us to believe a college coach timed a kid who had over 1000 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns at 4.29 and didn’t offer him on the spot. Carson Jenkins ran a legit 4.4 at a William & Mary football camp a few years ago and was offered on the spot.
Unfortunately nothing will come of this. Next year, this combine will continue to prey on overzealous parents and young athletes. They will overcharge and make promises they have no intention of keeping.
I just wish young athletes and their parents would stop being taken advantage of by combines like this. Parents/kids save your money, don’t waste it on combines like this one. If you want a legitimate college evaluation, go to a college campus and attend one of their camps in front of their coaching staff. That’s where you will get a true evaluation.
Best of luck to Mr. Collins. I look forward to following the rest of his career at Princeton High School and I look forward to seeing where he will get an opportunity to play at the next level.

Gotcha. My fault. Biggest myth in recruiting is you have to transfer to get noticed.
