One of the last old school teams left in the state
With Leftwich at 6’ 230 lbs and being a senior next year and 6’2” 210 lb Allen who was a FRESHMAN this year at FB you will see quite a bit of it again next year
Jaelyn Allen and Peyton Lewis are two of the most impressive freshmen I have ever seen at Salem. Hopefully they can get all healed up and good to go for next season.
It wasn't a collapse. The score was only 6-0 at the half. Salem came out of have time and scored quickly. To go up 7-6. Then LT returned the favor to go up 12-7. Salem scored again on a long pass. 14-12. Then RB goes out after a big hit. Sounds like what you read is trying to put a spin on the game
I’ve heard about Lewis’s speed. Looking forward to seeing it
Lots of spin in that article. Even makes it sound like Lake Taylor recovered onside kick but we're called for being offside--- Lake Taylor got to kick three onside kicks, they recovered None of them. However, because of a crazy rule Salem could not decline and take the ball---stupid rule.
The RB's were knocked out by hard hits by Salem's defense. In fact, late in the fourth quarter many of their players were dragging. Salem had more stamina and their starting running backs were not doing much in the first half. They had two field goals. The veer was shut down. Lake Taylor was forced to pass because Salem pulled away with 28 to 12 lead and they scored with about a minute to go on some great plays by their receivers to set up a touchdown. Salem simply won this game.
Pure hell. Lafayette loses some excellent key players and has some coming back, but two Junior starters had Acls during the Phoebus game so their lost to this next season. Going to be interesting for sure .
Don't forget Hopewell, they are in Region A as well. That's 4 perennial contenders competing for the Region. If you can survive that then you get to play SF & Finals
About the same as the year you and I sat on their side at the state championship game in Lynchburg. Probably 400-450. Salem’s side was packed and they brought their band. I’d say it was a little over 1k people there all together.
Possibly, but they may have some young guys step up. Brown could also be in the mix if he works hard. He'll be a Sr this fall, similar size to Williams. Addison Wolfe could be a Center or LB.
I don’t think they will. Worked too good this year keeping them fresh on D. Should have some good options for oline that will be playing well by playoff time.
