What Storylines Are You Following This Season?

[CRF4Dan]

What storylines are you following this coming season? In the Central Region it is this...

1) How do the teams adjust to new classes? Most notably LC Bird in Class 6 and Highland Springs returning to Class 5.

2) Can Varina live up to expectations? Lot of talent on Route 5 returned from last seasons state title run and more funneled in via transfers. Can they live up to the hype?

3) Can the Richmond Renaissance get over the hump? TJ has been close but has not been to state semifinals since 2019. Huguenot keeps running into Varina. Armstrong continues to build. Can one of these three make it to the state level and if not now, when? What John Marshall & Richmond HSA... can they follow the blueprint?

4) Finally... championship drought. The Central Region has not won a state title in two years, the longest such streak since the re-structuring of the state in 2013. Does that streak get broke this year and if so, who does it? Varina? Highland Springs? Dinwiddie? Huguenot?

 

[edwinanderson2nd]

I think the championship drought has a great chance of being stopped. Way too early to tell who’s the real contenders but as of now I’ll say Varina, Armstrong, & TJ have the best chances at doing it

 

[edwinanderson2nd]

Springs is gonna be a playoff team, it’s just matter of what their record and seeding is with another gauntlet schedule on their plate this season. Interested in seeing how GA, Dale, Dinwiddie, & Manchester fair this season. Also keep your eye on Petersburg this season

Not willing to make a prediction, but I do like Dinwiddie’s chances this season. A lot of veteran players return, most with a ton of game experience. Many of these kids have been in the Dinwiddie football program since they just kids.
The first thing anyone says is, “but Harry Daulton is gone”. Sure he is, and sure he will be missed, but Dinwiddie is not, and never has been a “one trick pony” team.
If the team chemistry is there, and a few of these younger kids step up, the Generals will be a tough out. And they will be challenged to prove themselves. 9 of the 10 teams they face were playoff teams last year.

Could be tough in 2a for Armstrong and Tj . They will cruise thru majority of teams but those dominant run teams will still give them problems . Kettle run gave Tj problems in playoffs .. Strasburg and Poquoson gonna have an opinion on this matter ! TJ and Armstrong teams have added a handful of transfers. That Richmond open -enrollment rule really give an advantage . I don’t wanna hear anything about Graham and Union nem getting transfers , they get 1 or less !! Graham LOST Daniel Jennings (early Penn state enrollee) and won state ! Yet people in eastern part of state love to praise TJ and Armstrong for being good ! Glenvar will be solid but not sure they have the complete team . Cant wait for the season to start . Motivated teams make for good athletics !

I’m still shocked that Galax went from the top of the heap to where there wallow now.

Will Allegheny be a power again? They sure burst on the scene big time in the last couple of years.

I like Varina’s early tests vs. Maury, a sleeper in Norcom, Hermitage, right into NC. If they make it to the end, can’t say they weren’t battle tested.

Tj and Armstrong just recently turned it around. They both were horrible for decades. Both programs were able to find stability at the coaching position.

 

[Pizzzzza2025]

For me personally, would like to see a "new" team break though the traditional powers and win a state championship.

Predicting the top teams just seems like copy and paste from year to year - adjusted some based on the transfer portal.

If they would do away with the 6 class system Cinderella would definitely show her face once or twice a year. I believe a 5 class system would be perfect for VA unfortunately I’m not a decision maker

I don't know that going to five would make much change. Only benefit I see is that teams who are a quick out in the first round wouldn't have as much of a chance of making the playoffs.

 

[General172011]

I don't know that going to five would make much change. Only benefit I see is that teams who are a quick out in the first round wouldn't have as much of a chance of making the playoffs.

Just imagine a Class 5 Region A consisting of: Oscar Smith, Maury, Kings Fork, Glen Allen, Highland Springs, Thomas Dale, LC Bird, Hermitage ‍.

 

[DinwiddieProud]

You know, our systems isn’t perfect, that’s not hard to argue. But, I’ve been around at lot longer than most of you, and I’ve seen every format since the 60’s, and what we have right now is by far the most equitable there has ever been. Does it need a little tweak now and then? Sure! Things change and you have to adjust. But little changes rarely create big problems.

But wholesale changes will do a lot more damage than good. You change things to help out schools in NOVA, and you cause major issues for smaller schools. You alter something to help rural schools and you create headaches galore for inner city schools.

Let’s leave it alone. Deserving teams get their chances. Teams that benefit from great programs that they have put in place earn their spot as perennial contenders. The “flash in the pans” that have that “once in a lifetime” athlete, they get their shot as well. The up and comers, they pay their dues and earn their shots. Teams that get overconfident and lazy are rewarded by being a playing on the road and having to play the top teams, or worse, sitting on the outside looking in.

For all practical purposes, every year the best 8 teams in each Region, in each Class level, have their shot at glory. Very, very few legitimate contenders ever miss the playoffs. Isn’t this what we want?

 

[CRF4Dan]

I did a model for a Class 5 system back in April...

Oscar Smith, Highland Springs, Thomas Dale and LC Bird would be Class 5
Maury, King's Fork, Glen Allen, Hermitage would be Class 4

Dinwiddie would be in Class 3 which would look a lot like what Class 4 resembles today.

 

[Virginia HS Football Fan]

I will be outside of the country starting from the week before the start of the regular season and returning no sooner than the Friday of October 24th or October 31st (might be November 7th if I decide to stay for an extra round of Champions League matches on the way back west). So I will be following from afar and watching the highlights shows on Saturdays before lunchtime to get my high school football fix.

Some things I will follow…

A) Who will step up in the Battlefield post-King George dominance? Will the district race actually be exciting for once?

B) Will there be any different teams who make their marks as legitimate contenders outside of the usual names (this goes for all Classes)?

C) Which schools will start, but not finish their seasons? And how will affected teams handle the scramble of finding replacement opponents? This seems to be a huge issue for smaller classifications in recent years so I hope everyone who starts with a team will finish their seasons with a team.

D) I will be curious to see how Regions will determine their playoff representatives and how i) they will differ from others and II) if there will be new and creative ways in which some regional playoff brackets are concocted.

E) And I will wonder how schools do against new opponents. I hate games where Virginia schools play out of state teams. So if there are new and rare OOD games pitting Virginia schools against once another, then I will be curious to see how those end up.

That’s a pretty interesting list.
c). I sure hope that problem doesn’t rear its ugly head. It will create just as big of a problem, if not a bigger problem, that being a school or two doesn’t get enough kids to come out to even start the season. With practice officially starting August 1, If any teams fold, it will be the following week. That gives their opponents only about 3 weeks to line up substitutes.
D). I pray that the Regions and/or Classes don’t try to re-invent the wheel. That crazy crap that 4C pulls is bad enough.

I wish you safe travels.

The two team to watch out for are Spotslyvania and Caroline. Spotslyvania new coach is from KG and took some of his staff with him as well and also Caroline a sleeper team. 6-4 last year and honestly 2 of their loses came in the 30 seconds but they return a lot of talent and should be a lot different this year.

I'm really excited about the Battlefield because there should be some close and hard fought games this year. And I'm sure there will be some upsets as well. I'm guessing it will be (in no particular order...just thinking off the cuff) Eastern View, Courtland, Spotsylvania, Caroline, King George in the top 62.5% of the district with Culpeper County, James Monroe, and Chancellor in the bottom 37.5% of the district.

 

[DinwiddieProud]

I would say a little different.
Spotsylvania
Courtland
Caroline
EV

The rest could be in any order, but KG may end up being dead last, sadly.

DP Allegheny plays Brookville in week 2 this season so that could be interesting if our defense has improved. If not, could be a long night for the Bees because Alleghenys QB is big time, we will have to find a way to slow him down to have a shot.

It's gonna be tough for anybody in Class 2 as long as Graham is in Class 2. Loaded again this year and Armstrong and TJ look to add to the heavyweights, but Graham is the top dog. Said it before. A Class 2 team with talent like a top 4 four in the state Class 3 team or a top six Class 4 team.

As tough as it might be for Armstrong or TJ to handle run-heavy teams, it will be just as challenging for those teams to keep up with their athleticism. Plus, let’s not forget—TJ is a 2A school and is already very familiar with most of these opponents.


That heartbreaking loss to Poquoson two years ago still stings. They had that game in hand, completely shutting down Poquoson's dominant run game—until a fumble while running out the clock changed everything.


And honestly, I wish people would stop talking about transfers. If you truly understood the dynamics of Richmond and the surrounding counties, you’d know that a large number of city kids had moved out to the counties over the years. However, with programs like TJ, Armstrong, and Huguenot becoming stronger and consistently sending players to Power 4 schools, many of those athletes are returning to city programs.


Lastly, yes—it’s true those other schools you mentioned probably don’t get many transfers. But let’s be real: how many of their players live across the state line in West Virginia or have moved there for football? LOL

 

[Hales Bottom]

I don't know about transfers with Graham or any other school and don't care. I can only tell you that Graham is loaded athletically and physcially and it's crazy how many D1 players a Class 2 school has produced or at the least has had D1 offers regardless of where they come from. I don't think it's a question of whether Graham could match up with a TJ or Armstrong, but I think it's about whether those 2 could match up with Graham not just athletically, but physically and just from a good football player standpoint. Graham has got em. Time will tell.

I say this with all due respect to Graham and their program, and we can respectfully agree to disagree. I recall a couple of years ago when a King William team (from 804) physically and athletically dominated them. Nineteen, 19 is the number of football players TJ has sent to play college football in two seasons, two being highly recruited 4-star prospects. They come into this season with five players holding multiple offers. The biggest misconception is that these teams can not play physical football. TJ and Armstrong are the only 2A programs in the STATE that play 4,5, and 6A competition, and TJ this year upped the ante big time, adding Hopewell, Hermatage, Douglas Freeman, and a trip to Heritage of Lynchburg. So, I repeat this respectfully: by playoff time, this team would have faced physical challenges, my friend. Before writing this, I took a look at Graham's schedule, and needless to say, there are a lot of bad teams; only three had winning records last year. Either way, I say let the kids and coaches play it out. I can't wait to watch. Have a great one.

????? I am so sick in tired of these preconceived notions and stereotypical stigmas that Black public city schools get labeled as."Not Physical "/"Not Discipline "/"They got athletes but not coach well " - I can't wait to put this trash to rest. Bro stop. Graham is an EXCEPTIONAL 2A Virginia powerhouse historically, with that being said Graham does not have the "athletes" to match up with a TJ or Armstrong. If I'm not mistaken that 2021 Graham team WAS LOADED, and lost to a King William team that really only had a two headed monster with Desmond Claiborne and a athletic QB 48-21. There is NO 2A team in the State of Virginia that has a harder strength of schedule. We talking about a program that has an enrollment of 520 kids in the building, and=we play against Four 5A teams. Four 3A teams, Two 2A teams. Make it make sense!

 

[Hales Bottom]

Crazy talk. First, TJ lost to Poquoson as the home team. Period. Last time in 2A, lost to a Poquoson team. Don't care how it happened. They lost. You point out a Graham loss to King William, the same KW team that put up 63 points on Lafayette, and you also didn't point out that Graham had 2 first team Linebackers hurt against KW and didn't play (one of them might start at ODU this year). Also, the starting QB for Graham? A broken leg. A very banged up Graham team. Credit KW though. A great team, but also a Graham team with major injuries that day with 2 all state linebackers that never played on defense. That's a bad combination with the All American Claiborne at RB.

As for Graham not having athletes to match up with TJ or Armstrong? You don't know Graham. That's comical. As for TJ or Armstrong being a Black city school, I had no idea what they are and don't care. I said they won't match up physically with Graham because Graham will average about 6'4, 275 across the line this year. It has nothing to do with where they are from or located and I never said Richmond football isnt physical. You all come up with that crazy **** all on your own. I said Graham is More physical and athletic than TJ and Richmond and we will see how that plays out this year. Ask Goochland if Graham is physical. Don't care where the school is located, urban, rural, suburbs, black or white or both.

All I know is this. Graham is the top dog in Class 2 until proven otherwise and they are loaded again. TJ and Armstrong need to worry about KW and Poquoson before worrying about state level. Graham is a whole other level. You talk about schedules. That's your business on schedules, King William over Graham in 2021, and all of that stuff. I'm just saying Graham is top dog until it loses, and the Gmen are loaded again this year. If TJ or Armstrong wins the state title, then that school becomes top dog. Until then, it's the GMen. And in Dec 2025, I think it will remain the Gmen.

You just wrote a whole lot of redundancy, excessive excuses, and a bunch of nothing. If you from Bluefield, VA just say that fam lol . You talking about get pass KW & Poquoson. Yall better get pass Union or Glenvar this year. The only reason I even addressed you on this platform, was because you put my program name in your mouth. We don't bother nobody. We building brick by brick, but stop talking that "physicality" ish when your entire schedule is nothing but 1A & 2A programs, and never been to the 804 Metropolitan area a day in your life to see our programs.

 

[Hales Bottom]

Graham being state champs and top dogs is redundant. You're right. I put your TJ Vikings as not physical enough to take on the GMen. Back at ya, if you are from Richmond, just say the fellow future inmates...lol.

Gmen are top dogs. To be the best, you got to best. Right now, you don't want to go to war with the GMen. Yall got enough problems down there with Poquoson.

Looking back at the last 10-12 years, Region C/D have dominated the state playoffs with the exception of King William in 2021 unless I’m mistaken.
This could be the year 804 starts their reign in Class AA or C/D could continue their dominance. There are a lot of quality teams TJ will have to get by to end up in Salem. Graham lost some quality talent but has a lot returning. Their coaching staff is about as good as it gets. It could be neither TJ or Graham ends up in Salem who knows but until mid December, the GMen are the current state champions coming off the 2nd perfect season in 3 years.

I just know last time you were 2A you got out of your region one time. Congratulations. Then you lost 49-7 in the semis. Get to where the big dogs are then you can talk. Graham, Union, or Glenvar will punch you right in the teeth. Hard to run for touchdowns when your on your back. Ask Strasburg. There is a reason region C or D has won every title except one since 2012.
