This might be the biggest game in the Richmond region so far this year, and it comes with a lot of implications based on the results.

Dinwiddie at Highland Springs
- Thread starter DinwiddieProud
- Start date
Watched Highland springs play twice this year and Dinwiddie play Colonial Heights and from what I observed Highland springs should win this game by 3 TDS. Dinwiddie is good but not Highland springs good.
Even though I’m rooting for Springs, I expect Dinwiddie to give them a tough game. I have seen little bit of dinwiddie this year, I just don’t see the final margin being 3tds game. Dinwiddie’s Qb looks impressive and BoKnowsSports wasn’t lying when said they would look like a team that’s been living in the weight room this past offseason
You may be correct sir. Highland Springs has a sound team and Byrd is a beast. Dinwiddie's defense is very good and Boisseau is playing well. He has only thrown four incompletions in two games. Athletes on both sides of the ball. Tend to believe the game will be decided by 10 points or less.

That's a tough as nails win. Wiggins(straight up stud) overtime TD was 100% bully ball. Ran right through the same team that went to the wire with a top North Carolina team. Shoutout to both teams for making this game happen.
Nothing but good things to say about our trip to Highland Springs. Harry Lee Daniels, AD, Coach Johnson, the team, and fans are first class. Also proud of Navy Nation for coming out in force! Way to support our team. Coach Mills and the staff worked their tails off and it paid dividends. Instant Classic! Boisseau was 26/37 for 278 yards with a TD and 68 yards rushing with 2 TD's. He has 13 combined scores in 3 games. Zaevon Wiggins had 12 catches for 171 yards, 1 td, and a TD. rushing. He has 7 tds on the season..
Man, I hated missing this game. From what I heard, the Dinwiddie faithful made the trip in the mass and were loud and proud.
I’m sure there a bunch of sore young men this morning. When you play a game at that intensity level, stress alone will leave you used up, to say nothing of the physical pounding their bodies took.
Now it’s on to the next step for Dinwiddie, the Salem Spartans.

Springers inability to finish drives proved to be their downfall. Defense gave them opportunities to extend the lead and not let a team like Dinwiddie stay in the game down 7 for almost the entire second half. By time overtime came around I think the defense just ended gassing out.
I was impressed with y’all’s band. Not big in numbers, but was loud and sounded good
It’s now Offical. All Dinwiddie fans passed their cardiac stress test last night. Hopefully no repeat test needed anytime soon.
That N.C. team, Hough, actually pushed Highland Springs around quite a bit last week. They were plagues with penalties. Penalties cost them a couple of touchdowns. The Springers offensive line had difficulty handling Hough's defensive front. It shouldn't have been 17-14.
Not really. Right now it's just 26. The Springers have a tough schedule and need to win a few games to help Dinwiddie out. They still have Phoebus, Varina, Hermitage, South County and a private school from Maryland/DC Friendship Day on their schedule. Not to mention Hanover.
That last 2:25 seconds of the 4th gives me goosebumps! Converted two 4th downs, a MASSIVE catch by Wiggins (while being interfered with) & the QB sneak with 7.9 seconds left. A lot of young guys grew up last night.
They also got the attention of some prominent coaching staffs in attendance. Zion reminds me of Brett Favre. He moves the pocket well and adjust his throwing angles. Extremely accurate. Jordyn Williams also had a whale of a game. He is a future D1 prospect. Shout-out to Wilson and Pettaway as well.
I finally got the chance to watch the game. Thanks for the link edwardanderson.
I was only joking about the cardiac stress test earlier. Now I think I’m serious.
As happy as I am for the Dinwiddie team and community, I can’t help but feel a hint of compassion for the Springers family. So close, and it got away.
Don’t worry, yall will get a break this coming Friday. Lol
Ouch! That’s hard. LOL
I know Salem is struggling, but no team better look past them. They will get well at somebody’s expense. I just don’t want it to be at ours.
Well said @DinwiddieProud. Salem is a well coached and disciplined team. No way we over look them and the respect these two teams have for one another is evident. I know Coach Mills and the Generals will approach this game the way the should. I personally hope Salem comes to play. A sound Salem team is good for Class 4 football.
Jeremiah Curley too. He put a lot of pressure on that opposite side of Jordyn. It’s insane that they are both sophomores but both stand 6’3, 230+.
Dae Wilson played a hell of game.
The defense got popped a few times early. Padmore, Richardson, and Byrd are special players and tough to defend. The defense bent a bit in the 2nd half, but shut the Springers out. To demonstrate how good the defense was playing in the second half one needs to understand Coach Johnson could have iced the game on 4th and 3. He opted to punt and allowed Dinwiddie one more shot. He went for it two times in the first half. It's tough to shut Byrd down and the Generals virtually did it. Huge to keep him from popping a long one.
Did anyone catch Coach Mills’ comments on the Channel 6 scoreboard show after the game? He was very fired up. He seemed very annoyed at the talk that maybe his team wouldn’t be as good with the loss of Harry Dalton.
It like he’s used this as motivation for the players.

Big win for Dinwiddie, congratulations! Good coaches have the next group ready to go when current players move on, and nobody is coached any better than Dinwiddie!
It’s really not Coach Mills’ style to use something like that as motivation. I’m not going to say that a few comments have not been mentioned leading up to a game over the years, but that’s really kind of rare.
His motivation is usually based on how hard you worked to get to this point, to go out and play your best and finish every play, and then move on to the next play. And he is all about playing your best for one another and having each other’s backs.
That’s good then. Maybe he was just so fired up after such a massive win that it was therapeutic for him to get a few things off of his chest.
Nonetheless, you could tell how much the win meant to him.
I think the 804 Varsity snub and a few other media outlets thinking Dinwiddie was done with the departure of Dalton motivated the whole team. Navy Nation and the team clearly appreciates the efforts/results Harry helped provide. Historically speaking, Mills led Dinwiddie always has a QB ready to step in. This is Mills 21st season in the County and Boisseau is the ninth QB. Since 2007, not one General quarterback has had a losing season and 7-8 have at least made a regional final. To doubt "his" quarterback room was a slap in the face. The quarterback school meets while most of us are sleeping and are developed early on. Mills is very protective of these guys and puts them through it. Boisseau has the potential to be special and Mills knows it.
Just a little motivation for dinwiddie but they didn't need it.
Those Chilhowie guys are built different!!!
