    Shenandoah District Halfway Point.......Whoyagot?

    Although some teams have only played four games because they have already had their bye week, most of the Shenandoah District teams are at the exact halfway point of their season. There are still three teams unbeaten in league play but that will change this week when two of them meet head-on...

    Riverheads Rallies Past, Then Holds Off Wilson 29-24

    These two schools have had their share of slobberknockers over the years, so there was no reason for tonight to be any different. The game was especially meaningful because each team came into the evening with two straight losses and neither wanted that third loss on their record. Each had also...

    Gladiator Youngsters Sweep Wilson in Wednesday Night Action

    It was certainly not a pleasant night to be out but the energetic group of Riverheads fans that made the trip to Wilson tonight were rewarded for their dedication as the Big Red swept both the Middle School and JV games from the home team Hornets. The Middle Schoolers took charge early and were...

    Shenandoah Unbeatens Down to Just Three

    After just two weeks of district action, and only one for a couple of the teams, we already see some separation. Buffalo Gap and Stuarts Draft are each 2-0 in district play, with Alleghany now 1-0. The other six teams all have at least one loss within the district. It is of course too early to...

    Bison Edge Riverheads on Fourth-Quarter TD

    I can understand Gladfan's frustration because the Bison most definitely did manhandle the RHS running game. Therefore the Gladiators only moved the ball when they thought outside the box and caught the defense a little bit off guard. To put the best possible spin on the Big Red's two losses...

    Bison Edge Riverheads on Fourth-Quarter TD

    For a game that only had one score, tonight's RHS/BG tussle had more plot twists than a Hitchcock movie. The homestanding Bison finally won 7-0 but not before Riverheads drove inside the five-yard line, not once but twice. But the home team came up with the big defensive stop both times, which...

    Riverheads Rolls Over Bison JVs.

    Although it was pouring the rain most places this afternoon and evening, it was bone dry and very pleasant in Greenville, allowing county rivals Buffalo Gap and Riverheads a perfect night to match their Middle School and JV teams. In a pair of games somewhat similar to RHS' trip to Stuarts...

    Shenandoah Standings Scrambled So Soon!

    In the always wild and crazy Shenandoah District, it only took the first night of district play to raise some eyebrows and cast some doubt about who has what this season. Needless to say, Buffalo Gap's win at Wilson was the biggest surprise, with Stuarts Draft's last-second win at Riverheads a...

    Stuarts Draft Squeezes Past Riverheads in Latest Classic

    If you like nip and tuck football with lots of momentum swings, Greenville was the place to be tonight as the visiting Cougars scored the winning touchdown with just 19 seconds left on the clock to beat Riverheads 28-24. Prior to that, RHS had twice rallied from behind to take leads and had the...

    Riverheads and Stuarts Draft Trade Thursday Night Shut Outs

    Despite those rapidly rising gas prices and a small threat of rain, a respectable crowd showed up on both sides tonight at Stuarts Draft for the first Middle School/JV doubleheader of the season between these two. The homestanding Cougars picked up where they left off last year and won the...

    Two County Clashes Highlight Shenandoah District's First Week of Action

    They get good publicity over this way, but I am sure you know them better than we do. So I guess that means that Alleghany may be favored after all.

    Altavista Tries Its Darnedest to Repeat Last Year's Miracle Against Riverheads

    I think you are right. There have been times in the past when RHS had what seemed like a sub-par game one week and even as soon as the next week, they looked like a different team. Another thing I read is that Altavista had four first-half turnovers in that loss to Lunenburg so it sounds like...

    Two County Clashes Highlight Shenandoah District's First Week of Action

    Now that most of the teams have their two non-district games out of the way, it is time for the Shenandoah District teams to start battling each other. In most of the weeks ahead, that will involve four district games each Friday night with the ninth team either playing out of conference or...

    Altavista Tries Its Darnedest to Repeat Last Year's Miracle Against Riverheads

    If these two are going to continue to have games like this, they may just have to make it a regular thing. To give you the headline first, the Gladiators held off the visiting Colonels tonight in a 43-36 overtime thriller that had just about any kind of weirdness you can think of. As a result...

    Second Weekend.......All Nine Shenandoah Teams Ready to Show Their Stuff

    In Friday night's season-openers, things went pretty much as expected in the Shenandoah. Most of us picked six out of the seven games correctly, missing only Stuarts Draft's win over Central, and even that could hardly be called an upset. So let's move on into the second week, which will be the...
