First off, I know little to nothing about these games. Not surprised by Essex result. Understand the last quarter and half was a running clock. The most surprising was Northumberland 21, Lancaster 2. Maybe Northumberland eased up? Certainly, a far cry from last year's 76-0 season opening result. Next up is Nandua 33, Rappahannock 0. Rapp won 41-6 last year and I heard they looked decent in last week's jamboree. Next is K&Q's rout of Colonial Beach. Not surprised that K&Q won but didn't think it would be 9 TDs to 0. And finally, Westmoreland beating West Point in the final minute for an 18-13 result. Thought the Eagles would be a 2-3 TD favorite.

I have to say that I agree with all that you said there!
As for the Northumberland score, yes that was a major surprise indeed. I was there & had originally planned prior to the game to head home at halftime.
Well, it was only 7-2 at the half so I remained until the end ha.
I was trying to decide if NHS was not playing as well as expected or has Lancaster improved that much. Probably a mixture of both.
I got to give credit where credit is due. Lancaster played well, had some size, hit hard and played with energy. Their QB looked very good & athletic. Great job to the coaching staff!
I am glad to see Lancaster's improvement as it is not good for anyone (certainly the kids) for a team in your district or area to become noncompetitive and/or to eventually collapse and fold.
As for Northumberland, I think that they will be fine as the season progresses.
It was a fantastic crowd at the game (took like until the 2nd quarter to get all the fans in the stadium). Dang, I am so glad that the insane Covid lockdown fiasco is finally over.
Tennesse bound Cam Seldon did play. However, Cam was not used that much in the overall attack.
NHS' RB Antoine Mills had all 3 TDs including a 63-yard TD blast. (I am pretty sure that Mills scored all 3 TDs - correct me if he only had 2 of them).
The Indian Defense played great overall. Some good hitting out there by both sides.
I mostly enjoyed seeing Northumberland's new starting QB for the 1st time -a Freshman Tyreek Lundy - that kid is going to be a star.
