The Class of 2014 in The 757 is the hottest yet. It should be no surprise then that the University of Michigan, yet again another Big Ten school, is reaching into the area for talent. Ohio State has started coming in more regularly, Purdue has been picking up the pace, and Penn State has been recruiting here for ages. A couple of our most valuable players picked up offers from the U of M today.
For the Bay Rivers District, seeing a player go away to play college football at an SEC school would be a coup. For Poquoson ATH Grayson Boyce, the chance to take an unofficial visit was a thrill. After Friday night’s game against Tabb, the Poquoson junior took a flight down to Tuscaloosa for a college game day he’ll never forget.
This week’s Freedom Ford Player of the Week, was a non-traditional pick, but deserving in every way. The Western Branch Bruins defense claimed this week’s award, topping Blue Chip Running Back Taquan Mizzell of Bayside High School in the fan voting.

Friday night’s Beach District schedule was full of interesting matchups, perhaps none more intriguing than the tilt between Kellam and Princess Anne.
