2012 VISAA Division I All-State Teams
Here are the VISAA Division I All-State Teams as voted on by the coaches of VISAA Division I.
2012 All-Eastern Region Team
The coaches of the Eastern Region convened last week to vote on the All-Eastern Region Teams. Here are the players that earned postseason honors as the best of the best.
Titans Celebrate Title Win
It was the first football State Championship for the City of Norfolk since 1966. That was a year before Lake Taylor High School opened it’s doors. It’s fitting then that the Mayor, the Vice-Mayor, and members of the school board were on hand for the celebration. It was a red letter day for the Titans.
More Ocean Lakes Seniors Fielding Offers
Fans know about the commitments of Corwin Cutler to UVA, Andre Dessenberg to Delaware, Demetri McGill to Maryland and Alex Skidmore to Duke, but the Division 6 Runner-up Dolphins are loaded with talent, and college coaches have been diligent about mining the school for its best players. Head Coach Chris Scott gave us a review of some of the more talented seniors that have still yet to make a commitment.
Chesapeake Bowl Boasts 9 Locals
The third annual Chesapeake Bowl kicks off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 29 at Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex in Prince George’s County Maryland. The All-Star game showcases some of the top high school seniors in the mid-Atlantic for a North-South showdown.
Dolphin Picks Duke
Ocean Lakes had a fantastic season and Alex Skidmore was an anchor on the offensive line for the Dolphins. Skidmore is Academic All-American material and he had his pick of high academic colleges. He’s a football player, heavyweight wrestler, and high achieving student all rolled into one.
VHSL Confirms New Conference Alignment Plan
Earlier this week, the VHSL confirmed the new conference alignment plan that will come into effect for the 2013-14 academic year. For Football in Division 5 & 6, that means that all of the traditions of teams playing their way out of the Eastern Region to make it to the State Semifinals game are over. Some teams will change classification due to their enrollment figures. Ultimately, it’s a lot of change for teams in Group AAA and AA.
McGill On Maryland Move To Big 10
Ocean Lakes Defensive Tackle Demetri McGill had a huge senior season, tearing up opposing offensive lines in pursuit of a State Championship. His performances didn’t go unnoticed, as he held numerous scholarship offers before making his verbal commitment to the Unversity of Maryland about a month ago. Since that time, the Terps announced they’re moving from the ACC to the Big 10. Does that affect McGill’s decision?
Dukes Shines In Freshman Year At CNU
Granby grad Paul Dukes toted the load for the Comets during his high school career, and now he’s blossoming at the college level. He just finished his freshman season for the Captains and he has adjusted well, on and off the field.
Reuben Commits To Tribe
William and Mary landed six commitments over the weekend, including two locals. Not only did Grafton wide receiver Jesse Santiago commit on a weekend visit, but Landstown quarterback/safety Keanu Reuben gave his verbal commitment as well.
