Just about the wildest week this season, I would say.
I expected Kings Fork to give Oscar Smith a little tougher game than they did. The first half was pretty close, but Smith played like future state champions in the second half.
I sipped the Midlothian Koolade like many were doing, but Huguenot proved they are not ready for prime time.
Great to see Monacan finally get a win.
Poor Colonial Heights. Petersburg probably took away their last chance to win a second game this year. They might have a shot at beating King William in their last game of the season, but it will have to be motivated by pride. Win or lose, they are not making the playoffs this year.
Poquoson beating Lafayette certainly is noteworthy. But truthfully, the Islanders are a darn good team. Beating Lafayette was their third marquee win this season. And like Coach Young and Matt Hatfield said on their radio show this morning, Poquoson holding the high scoring Lafayette team to only 7 points is the bigger story.
Staying with the Bay Rivers District, Jamestown got a second win on Friday. Unfortunately for Jamestown, that might be their last win this season. There may be one more win left, but that’s iffy.
GW beating Lord Botetourt surprised me. But LB has a tendency to loose the occasional game that they shouldn’t. So I guess this was their one for this year. But, GW ain’t no slouch, so I’m sure they earned the win.
James Monroe beating Eastern View would have shocked me —— in years past.
Loudoun Valley and Loudoun County both winning has set up a mega game in two weeks.
Another game that will get a lot of attention this coming week is Thomas Dale at Meadowbrook, both undefeated. TD’s self proclaimed “Dark Zone” defense has only given up 22 points. But, the Monarch’s are right there with them, only giving up 27 points. At first I was thinking this could be a Meadowbrook win, but when I look at the teams that these two schools have beaten to get to this point, the nod has to go to Dale.
60-69 points was popular this week. I counted at least 13 teams in that bracket. Of course, there were a couple in the 70’s, Maury being the highest at 77 points.
The GMen at Graham absorbing another loss caught my eye.
How about this one? The last time Windsor started their season 4-1 or better, Nixon was President, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left footprints on the moon, Woodstock happened, crazy Charles Manson went on his murderous spree, the Civil Rights Movement was changing America, the Viet Nam war was raging, and The Beatles performed their last public concert as the complete Beatles. The year, 1969.
This one certainly got my attention, Warwick just beat Phoebus.
all night. Hopewell looked like they were just going through the motions very little motivation and looking like they did not care. Hopewell has alot of talented players but sometime the coaching at times is suspected. From my observation the last two games looks like they've lost the team. The way they played last night they might win one more game if lucky 2-8 would be my prediction. Meadowbrook is 4-0 but I don't believe they can beat the district big boys dinwiddie, Thomas Dale yet.
