Lord Botetourt rallied to a 4-6 record. And guess what? They play each other this week — in the first round of the Region III playoffs. Nothing against the Minutemen and Cavaliers, who are simply playing by the rules, but shouldn’t the VHSL demand a little more out of schools in order to make the postseason? Getting to the playoffs should be an honor bestowed on a select few. Instead, the outcry from many coaches and parents is for more trophies, more ribbons and more postseason participation. High school sports needn’t be ruthless competition, but they shouldn’t be Little League either.

Each Tuesday, Aaron and Robert will provide recaps and analysis of previous games while looking to the week ahead. Beamer changes mind, opens scrimmagePosted Aug20, 2007 at 03:20 PMThe final full scrimmage for the Virginia Tech football team will now be open to the public, after all. Tech coach Frank Beamer encouraged fans to attend Friday's intrasquad scrimmage -- which was originally scheduled to be closed to the public -- at Lane Stadium "With where we are as a football team, especially in the kicking game, this is the right thing for us," Beamer said in a news release. "I think we need people in the stands. This will be the closest we can get to that spring game we missed." Projected starting kicker Jud Dunlevy went 0-for-4 on field goals in Saturday's second scrimmage, although two of them were from 52 yards out and one was blocked. The fifth-year senior will be a first-time starter, and Beamer has often said the only question mark about him is how he performs under pressure. Fans can enter through gates 4 and 5 and beginning at 4 p.m. Fans can sit in the west side seats. No cameras or video cameras will be allowed in the stadium. Fans will not be permitted on the field at any time during or after the scrimmage. Stretching and practice will begin at 4:15 with the scrimmage running from approximately 4:45-6:15 p.m. Dec. 22 scoresPosted Dec22, 2006 at 10:56 PMBOYS GIRLS Prep football state final resultsPosted Dec09, 2006 at 06:15 PMGroup AAA Division 6 Group AAA Division 5 Group AA Division 4 Group AA Division 3 Group A Division 2 Group A Division 1 Final: Goochland 28, Giles 14Posted Dec09, 2006 at 04:20 PMGroup AA Division 3: Giles final statsPosted Dec09, 2006 at 04:14 PMGroup A Division 2 -- Goochland 28, Giles 14. Some final stats from the Giles loss to Goochland: Giles passing was all Nathan Tanner. The senior tailback was 2 of 7 for 23 yards and three interceptions. He was also the leading rusher with 23 carries for 91 yards. Senior wingback Andrew Fenstermaker had one catch for 18 yards -- he also carried the ball seven times for 17 yards and both Giles touchdowns. Freshman Dakota Stanley had the other Spartans catch, that one for five yards. Senior Tee Freeman, who shared the backfield with Tanner, had 11 carries for 42 yards. The Spartans had only 173 yards of total offense, they produced 11 first downs on 48 plays -- ten first downs running, one passing. Goochland: Rushing: That was good for 328 yards of total offense -- 12 first downs, all but one on the ground. Rockbridge vs. RichlandsPosted Dec09, 2006 at 03:09 PMAfter leading through the third quarter, Rockbridge is down again -- this time by one point. Richlands leads 29-28. Giles vs. Goochland -- 2nd half cont'dPosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:57 PMThe Spartans will start the fourth quarter with a fourth down and one yard to go. As expected, they snap it to Nathan Tanner who blasts up the right side for three yards and into Goochland territory. Maybe good news for Spartans fans: shifty Goochland running back D.J. Coles is sitting alone on the Bulldogs bench. Definitely bad news for Spartans fans: something's up with the snapping. Tanner's fumbled three times, but Giles has come up with the recovery every time. *** After the fumble, Giles is forced to punt -- the first for either side today. *** Giles has another big first: Its first penalty of the day. *** Yet another first for Giles this afternoon -- they trail. The Bulldogs go 90 yards in 10 plays to score on a 12-yard run by Ovell Hicks with 4:24 to play. Whitley's kick is good and the Spartans are behind by seven with just enough time. *** Tanner throws his third interception on second-and-nine from his own 24-yard line. Bulldogs' ball at the Spartans 33-yard line, clock rolling down to just over three minutes. However he felt before, Coles looks fine now. He breaks one down the right side for 17 yards. *** That should be the ball game. Coles pops loose and runs 17 yards to the end zone for the touchdown to clinch it. Under a minute and a half to play, Giles trails now 28-14. That drive was a 34-yarder, six plays, that took just over two minutes off the clock. Giles vs. Goochland -- 2nd halfPosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:37 PMColes returns the kickoff to open the half from his own 9-yard line out to the Giles 43-yard line. *** On their first drive of the half, the Bulldogs go for it on fourth-and-six. QB Jordan snakes inside the red zone for the first down on the Giles 18. *** First-and-goal from the Spartans 8-yard line, the handoff goes to Coles. Second-and-goal from the 6, Hicks tries to get around the left side and gets swatted down at the 5. Third-and-goal, Coles just makes it back to the line of scrimmage. Fourth-and-goal from the 5, 5:33 -- Goochland takes a timeout. Kicker Nathan Whitley is on the sidelines. *** John Austin Hicks rolls left, leads WR D.J. Johnson a bit much to the left. Incomplete, and Giles takes over on downs at its own 5-yard line. Tanner throws an interception from his own end zone. The pass bounces out of the hands of the intended receiver and into those of defensive back Michael Ware who returns it 12 yards to the Giles 5. On third-and-1, Jordan leaps over his own lineman and scores. Three plays, five yards, 1:32; it's tied at 14 with 2:34 to play in the third. *** End of the third quarter, it's 14-all. Giles vs. Goochlands -- 1st half statsPosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:32 PMOkay, some first half stats -- Goochland's leading rusher is junior RB D.J. Coles with 65 yards on five carries. John Austin Hicks has four carries for 59 yards and quarterback Brian Jordan is 1 of 3 for 23 yards. Giles: Fullback Tee Freeman has 20 yards on six carries, and Andrew Fenstermaker has four carries for nine yards and both Spartans touchdowns. Rockbridge vs. RichlandsPosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:20 PMThe Rockbridge Wildcats trail, 14-0. *** After trading interceptions, Rockbridge defensive back Keith Mohler returns an interception more than 50 yards for a touchdown. The kick fails, but the Wildcats are on the board with about six minutes to go. It's still Richlands, 14-6. Giles vs. Goochland cont'dPosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:04 PMSpartans lead again with 3:50 left in the half. Once again, Andrew Fenstermaker takes the inside handoff and darts inside for a 4-yard touchdown run. Journell's kick is good and Giles is up 14-0. The drive is 12 plays, 66 yards. *** An offensive holding call backs the Bulldogs up to their own 43-yard line -- first down and 20 with 1:50 to play. Spartans defensive end Kurt Marcussen drags Brian Jordan down in the backfield, taking Goochland back another seven yards. Third-and-19 from their own 44, the Bulldogs call their second timeout at 0:20. Jordan completes a sharp pass over the middle to Hicks, who rumbles for a few more yards to the Spartans 33. Yet another penalty takes Goochland back to the Giles 38 -- second and 15. Giles calls its first timeout with 0:10 left in the half. *** Jordan takes a shot at the end zone to D.J. Coles on the left side, then a shot at the right side and the clock runs out. End of the first half, Giles leads 14-7. Rockbridge vs. Richlands -- 1st quarter scorePosted Dec09, 2006 at 01:01 PMRichlands scored on a fake punt to lead 7-0 at the end of the first quarter. Giles vs. GoochlandPosted Dec09, 2006 at 12:15 PMIt's a chilly 38 degrees in Harrisonburg, but that's still a few degrees warmer than it is at home for the Giles Spartans. Giles is wearing the home red with white pants; captains Nathan Tanner and Conan Cook met with Goochland's WR-DB Michael Ware and lineman Matthew Dabney and they've elected to receive. Nathan Tanner puts together a 75-yard touchdown drive in 15 plays, ending in a handoff to Andrew Fenstermaker for a 2-yard run. After the Journell kick, Giles leads 7-0 at 6:32 in the first. Goochland RB John Austin Hicks rips off a 43-yard carry deep into GIles territory on first-and-10 from the 25, though. *** Fourth-and-six from the Giles 28, Hicks pops loose on the right side. Tanner misses a tackle and the 6-2, 189-pound junior runs for a 28-yard touchdown. The drive takes just 2:46 -- 75 yards in six plays -- and the game is tied at 7-all after the Nathan Whitley kick with 2:40 left in the first. *** On his third pass of the game, Tanner lofts one up into three deep coverage. WR-DB Jeray Dobson picks him off at the Goochland 48. The Bulldogs get off one play before the end of the quarter. *** On second-and-10 from the Giles 24, Goochland gets flagged for a third illegal motion penalty -- moving them back to the 29. QB Brian Jordan rolls out left, pulls the ball down and runs for a 5-yard gain. Giles defensive end Mario Jones comes up with a sack on the next play and the Bulldogs are forced to throw deep on fourth-and-21 from the 34. Making up for the earlier turnover, Tanner breaks up the D.J. Coles pass to Kameron Wilds in the end zone. Spartan ball, first-and-10 from their own 34 with over eight minutes to work with in the half.
