Week #10 of what caught your attention.
- Thread starter EPJr1947
- Start date
Highland springs versus Varina high School game of the week. I like Varina winning this game by at least two touchdowns. their defense has only given up 7.8 points per game .Grimsley of North Carolina score 21 points on their defense all other teams this year was 14 or less. Offense 34.7 points per game if my math is correct. I like the old saying in the NFL ,, offense fill stadiums defense will win championships
Varina jv finally beats the Springs breaking a 15year losing streak to the Springers, also snapping a 4yr overall winning streak for the Springs. Tough loss for us but still impressive to have only two losses within the past decade
Looks like it’s on YouTube. Glitchy at times but now seems to be working.

Armstrong dominates Hanover 47-16. State championship seems very real for them in C2
Same for Varina in C4.

That front 7 for Varina is legit, really should have been 28-3 refs bailed Highland Springs out a couple of times. Region 4 might be in trouble that team fighting for more then a championship.
how come will all this dominance of schools in higher classes they are still #2 in the region?
The two teams they lost to were Maury arguably the number one or two team in Virginia and Grimsley who is ranked 15th nationally in North Carolina. Neither loss was a blowout the Maury game ended 14–13 and the Grimsley matchup was 21–14. Very few teams would be able to compete that closely with either opponent, especially within their region, as other teams that faced Maury did not fare nearly as well.
In that case I think Armstrong can give Poquoson a run for their money. It will come down to coaching, Poquoson schedule is a little tougher that’s why they are 1. But there is no major difference in my opinion.
York*
New Kent*
Tabb*
Grafton*
Lafayette*
Jamestown*
Gloucester*
Warhill*
Bruton*I beg to differ.
They played a couple of teams who got a winning record Armstrong schedule seems a little easier if not very equal.
I beg to differ.
I think Armstrong will past them for the 1seed after all the calculations are done for this week’s games
Louisa giving up 41pts, can’t have that type of defense performance when the playoff arrives. Or you going to have to win some shootouts.
I doubt it will stay that way. Hiter didn’t play, Carter left early in the second quarter due to injury he should be fine, and it looked like they rested several players. I believe they’re preserving their starters for the playoff games.
They didn’t have Hiter tonight and Carter got hurt early second half. Carter is more important tothe defense than the offense and it showed after he left the game. I said it around game 4 the defensive backfield is the week link on Louisa
Western Albemarle hanging in there with Louisa. Louisa better do something about that defense or it’s going to have major issues come the playoffs
I agree giving up 41 points would make it very difficult to win, especially in the loaded region 4B. I looked up the scores of the Louisa games this year and they gave up the following points in their nine games: 32, 0, 13, 15, 22, 14, 14, 12, 41. So they are giving up an average of 18 points a game, The 41 in the last game is anomaly due to not playing every one. The only other game where they gave up more than 2 scores was the first game and I don't think they had everyone then either. The team they shut out is Region 4B playoff team Courtland. I wouldn't take Louisa lightly. Have a good one!

They are good enough to get to the region semis or finals. Them matching up with Dinwiddie or Varina will be interesting.
They also gotta clean up the penalties two unsportsmanlike on one play cost them 30 yards for running their mouths. Pass defense is not good.
What surprised me?? Salem didn’t kick another kid off the team this week!! 
I said this before, but now that I have had time to really study things I must say matchups are going to be key. I still think Varina is going to be a tough get, but there is some hope. You really can't evaluate Louisa without Hiter. He can control the game on the ground and can break one at anytime. Wyche and his receiving corps plus a nasty defense are something else. Dinwiddie will finally be close to full strength. Their best player has been out since the Highland Springs game. I can't wait for Huguenot's game with Manchester this coming weekend. Holy cow what a game. A win and Falcons likely finish third. Lose and they could end up in fifth. Going to be a loaded bracket in B.
Likely matchups
1. Dinwiddie vs. Hanover/Spotsylvania
2. Louisa vs. Spotsylvania/Hanover
3. Varina/Huguenot vs. Caroline
4. Varina/Courtland vs. Courtland/Huguenot
It’s shaping up to be a good postseason every team in Region 4B will be capable of making a deep run. If Huguenot defeats Manchester, they’ll likely move into the third seed, which could shift the bracket and create an early matchup between Varina and Dinwiddie this is only if Huguenot wins. While Dinwiddie will be close to full strength, Varina is still one of the most complete teams in the region. A potential Varina vs. Louisa 4B final game would be a great game of talent. Many focus on Hiter’s performance, but Louisa four-star receiver Carter has been outstanding all season, and their quarterback’s dual-threat ability adds another dimension to the offense. Even in games where several starters rested, the team’s depth and resilience have stood out. The score was so much last game because their best players wasn’t playing. They probably won’t play this week either Louisa coach is smart.
Yep and #3. #4 tore his ACL in the Springs game and is done for the season.. Everybody else with nagging injuries should be good to go. On a good note, the injuries created depth at WR and RB.
Carter was carted off the bench and didn’t look good. So I’m hoping it gets better over two weeks off. Don’t forget Levi Wilson and trell kreasy.
Yea Levi the QB, also Carter ended up walking on his own when they brought him back out no boot or crutches he stood up the whole second half and walked around might be a good sign. If it was real bad I know he wouldn’t be able to stand and walk on it.
I hope you didn't misinterpret my message. I clearly indicated Varina was still the team to beat in Region B and the state for that matter. I was not discounting Louisa's other players. I was simply stating the obvious that Hiter will create matchup issues for several playoff teams. The Lions ability to slow the game down with a pounding running game will be key against a Varina or Huguenot (depending how the seeds fall). @racindan, has clearly stated the Lions struggle with pass defense. That is not a recipe for success against a Varina and Huguenot for that matter. I truly believe Louisa can play with anybody, but will have to go old school and own the time of possession. A rested defense is a strong defense. Huguenot, hasn't given up anything on defense since their first game, so Fridays game intrigues me tremendously. Let's not discount Courtland, Caroline, Spotsylvania, or Hanover. They may not be as lauded like the top four teams, but they have talent and sound coaching staffs.
Oh no, that’s not specifically for anyone I just know everyone does sometime forget the other big time talent that Louisa really has and I was just explaining to them that Louisa got scored on so much in the pass game because of the early exit of Carter. And as for the Varina statement that was just a general statement I was reiterating.
Sounds good. I think they look more athletic overall this year. The defense looks much improved and those guys on the outside look like they can matchup with a Varina or Huguenot. It's going to be some real heavyweight matchups in 2 weeks.
The Dinwiddie defense is very improved. They were very young last year and are playing lights out right now. Thus far #2 and #1 (qb1) have not played defense and both are very good defensive backs. If needed against Varina or Huguenot I believe we can do a much better job defending the pass. The Generals pass rush is extremely good. Nobody else puts their stats out, but we could care less. We give our kids all help we can. Never understood why, but it's a fact. The defense is only giving up 98 yards rushing and 87 yards passing per game.
No matter who we play containing Wyche, Hiter, and Scott and his receivers will be a huge challenge. I love and hate Region B. Can anyone tells us about the Star players from Courtland, Spotsylvania, and Caroline.
