The IAC season started with a disappointing 0-9 loss to EHS. The Maroon (2-2) had two losses to big Richmond schools; an easy win against Loudoun County and a trashing of SSSA 34-12. That last game matters if you believe in the application of the transitive property to sports: GP beat SSSA by one late […]

The Tigers of Orange, VA must have been aware that their last three games against the Bears were losses.

The 1-0 Frogs entered Triplett Field at Bordley Stadium and likely few remembered their 35-16 loss on rocky Duke Ellington Field in 2019. They may have had some added confidence due to the presence of a new coach and 3 rushing TDs against Ron Brown. On the other side of the field, the Bears had […]
