This past December, the L.C. Bird Skyhawks won the Virginia Group AAA, Division 6 State Championship with a 14-10 win over the state perennial powerhouse Ocean Lakes Dolphins. The Skyhawks are 1-1 in State Championship games, with their only other appearance in 1991. A constant fixture in the Central Region, Division 6 playoff picture, the Skyhawks rely on a strong running attack and a stingy defense and this year was no exception. Led by senior Paul Robertson with a school record 2,936 yards, the Skyhawks rushed for over 3,500 yards and held opponents scoreless three times this past season for a perfect 14-0 record.

Walker’s offer list has now topped twenty. The only schools that aren’t in on him at this point are schools that know they have no chance, or top level programs that haven’t figured out how to fit him into their roster.
