Week #5 of What Caught Your Attention.

[DinwiddieProud]

Please pray for the young man on the Fluvanna football team that received a serious leg injury in the game at Louisa Friday night.

Also, everyone in attendance from the fans, to the players and coaches, including the officials, showed the highest level of respect and caring as this young man was being treated and transported. This is not surprising to me because Louisa is a great community that always exhibits this type of compassion.

One to injury and one to residency compliance.

wait they’d have to forfeit the games played with the ineligible player ?

Mannnnnn this would be a mess. I hope it ain't true.

@CountyBoyGeneral, are we talking about possible VHSL sanctions (forfeits)? This is big news. I saw some pre game posturing on line between Henrico and Varina. I know Varina got at least three kids from the "portal" (Bird-Sir Paul Cheeks, Henrico-Williams, and Hopewell-Cook). I also heard Cheeks had an ACL issue, so your report appears legit. Feel for the kid. He is a senior.

This isn’t Varina’s first time. They had to forfeit 3-4 games in basketball in 2023 due to the all state kid who transferred from Marshall. I hate to see these kids get 365’ed when they take bad advice from adults.

Varina lost two very good players they got out of the “portal”. Next week will be an uphill battle for them.

The problem is Grimsley has specialized in the portal for about the last 10 years or so. Their program used to be a bottom feeder, until they got another coach and has used the portal extensively. They aren't so well admired in NC. I live in Charlotte (graduated from Hermitage in 1970...yep that old) and hope that Varina could take them down, but it's going to be a tall task. Due to their extensive use of the portal, Grimsley has gone 83-4 since 2018.

I will not insinuate Varina's guilt, but if they did knowingly take a transfer with residency issues I would simply ask why? They were already loaded and went to the finals to last year.

Wasn’t meant to be a big deal just what I thought about week five. Don’t be a dick I don’t HAVE

Wasn’t meant to be a big deal just what I thought about week five. Don’t be a dick I don’t HAVE to come here.

You took my post the wrong way. I wasn’t discounting your thoughts. I was only pointing out the score at the half.

Don’t be so defensive and chill out with sophmorish name calling.

Millbrook beating Kettle Run surprised me. I don't think any of the Winchester area teams are particularly outstanding, but with Region D looking very weak this year I could see one of them give Jefferson Forest (who I think is the best team in the region) a game. Handley doesn't play until tomorrow but they've looked much better than I thought they would with their QB out. Sherando needs to start putting away inferior teams. They were much better than Loudoun County and lost due to not capitalizing on opportunities, and only put up 28 points tonight against a bad Brentsville team.

FYI , Sherando only played JV players the entire second half of the Brentsville game. Class act Rohrbaugh purposely not running up the score.

I think you have a good chance of winning out. Your next two games will be tougher than Brentsville, (and you will be playing away), but I see you winning both. Then Handley at home on your own field gives you an advantage, if all other things were equal.
Your last two games will be walk-overs.

I’m looking forward to seeing the 4-D ratings this week. Rider points are going to be critical for Sherando, Handley, and JF, with respect to top seed. GW might be in there too.

Varina transfers that’s been shut down by Henrico County Schools in the past 24 months.

Class 2 2x 1st Team All State Steve Stinson from John Marshall. VHSL made them forfeit 3-4 basketball games that year.

1st Team All State Cameron Mise from Hopewell. He was actually the C3 Player of the year in ‘23. Though he went on to play for Overtime Elite after HCPS shut it down, his recruitment suffered.

D Will from Henrico. My heart goes out to that kid. Adults have to stop putting these kids in these situations.

I have no hoot in the fight but it’s pathetic to see this program jeopardize kids’ futures to win ball games.

I already figured that out have a good one
