I'm from the VA boards so I don't post here often, but just wanted to say I enjoyed the game and Cumberland in general. The game obviously didn't go the way I'd like, but that's how it goes sometimes. Fort Hill has a superb team, and I really wish Wagner and Entsminger didn't go down due to injuries, but that's also a part of the game. Hoping neither is too serious.
Next year Virginia is reorganizing how the Northwestern district (the one Sherando is in) is set up, and I know it's going to limit how many out-of-state schools we can schedule, but I'm hoping both schools get to play again in the future. I've been told Martinsburg is on the schedule again, but outside of that I'm not sure how many games they'll have to play against new district opponents. This was something that was finalized over the offseason due to travel and budget concerns as far as I'm aware.
Anyway, Fort Hill will go on to win the state championship I'm sure. At this point I have my doubts that Sherando will make the playoffs in Virginia even if we manage to win out, but given the youth on the team I'm sure they'll be a force next year.
Also a side note, shout out to the FH band. The performance was great and everyone stayed in step as far as I saw. I'm a band guy (or was, depending how you look at it), so I always end up looking for that sort of thing.
Best of luck the rest of the year and stay injury free. Lots of fantastic players on the FH squad and they're very well coached.
