No ridiculous scores but strange boys games for me this week. So, Tuesday night it takes 45 minutes to complete the second half of a JV game that has only 6 minute quarters. Luckily, the clock operator put only 15 minutes on the scoreboard for warmup so the varsity game started about 10 minutes...

I've been compiling high school football stats since 1980 (i'm at the same weekly since I started in high school) and I can, without a doubt, say this has been the most frustrating season in my career! It's amazing to me how many teams (I cover 1 each week and follow 11 others) do not have...

Re 1986 in Virginia, I now recall that as that year the playoffs were broken down into Division I and Division II in each of the 3 classifications. The divisions were divided by enrollments, however Division I in each classification followed the system that had been used previously (regardless...

In the Virginia public schools system, 190 teams have made the regional playoffs

Yes, I guess you are aware by now that in Virginia's Class 1 an 0-10 team made the playoffs. I've heard of 1-9 teams making the playoffs but not sure if an 0-10 has made it?

We had a game a couple weeks ago that ended up 54-35. It was scoreless after the 1st quarter. Winning team scored all its TDs on the ground, while the losing team scored on 4 TD passes and a kickoff return. This past Friday, a 1-6 team played at a 0-7 team. The 1-6 team won 80-22. A player for...

Some of these posts remind me of a HS volleyball match I covered a few weeks ago. The teams had met the previous four seasons for the regional championship. The home team isn't quite as good as last season, but the visiting team is no where close to being as good as it has been. So, the home...

To piggyback on the Marshall Johnson post, if he couldn't get a score from th dispatcher at a sheriff's office, he'd phone the rescue squad or fire department knowing EMS would staff the games. The Virginia AP score list would run big schools to small schools top to bottom with each...

I'm going to tell you about the "old" field at King and Queen Central in Virginia. Smallest classification for public schools and it still graduates only around 30 annually. Before I start let me say the current facility is located on the same property but runs north to south, while the "old"...

I started this thread on behalf of fourseasonsfootball

Many of us remember the terrible situation that occurred in the NOVA - DC area in October 2002 with the sniper murders. Games were suspended and moved. On October 19, 2002 many NOVA schools played their scheduled games at "secret" locations for safety reasons. I have been able to find out where...

Cough up the answer!!! :D :mad:

One last try because this has got me to thinking about probably not a perennial all-star: Bobby Murcer or Andre Thornton??? How many did Rick Monday have?

I'm gonna take a super wild guess with Ken Singleton or Lee May

And in another episode from my way back when years before home teams were required to wear white at home in basketball, I covered a game in which both teams were in yellow/gold uniforms. Ironically one of the teams represented the same school that had the yellow numbers on white jerseys in...

Years and years ago I was the victim of covering a game in which the visiting team had white jerseys with yellow numbers that had no piping. And I'm talking light yellow! I was in the press box and fortunately these were the days when running the football was the norm. So, with a little help I...

Hey Justin how are things in your neck of the woods. I got a good one for you that you may already know about. They built a beautiful school in Westmoreland that opened in August but they it didn't come with a football/track complex! So they are playing their home games at old W&L High School...

I didn't actually see this one but here's what was explained to me in a state softball quarterfinal in Virginia. Bottom of 11th, home team down 2-1 with a runner on first and one out. Batter hits a popup to shallow right field. The ball ricochets off the second baseman's glove and the right...

I got Charlie Joiner. Thought Lamar Parrish might be in there and totally forgot about Munoz.

The original Inside Sports. I still have some of those early issues. I remember one had a great story on Pete Maravich and his career coming to an end with the Celtics. I believe one cover was of Ali in his corner between rounds during his match with Holmes. And who can forget Nolan Ryan tossing...
