Louisa High School's football program has some quick work to do.

Mark Fischer has resigned as the school's head football coach after a successful six-year run. Last year the Lions finished 11-1, losing to Broad Run in the Division 4 Region II semifinals.

Lafayette Names Former Assistant New Football Coach

Virginia High School Football Huddle

Andy Linn has been promoted from assistant to head football coach at Lafayette High School.

Linn takes over for Paul Wheeler, who resigned at the end of a 5-5 season. Lafayette actually finished 7-3 on the field, but had to forfeit two games at the end of the season after reporting itself for using two players that didn't have a physical examine. Those forfeits knocked Lafayette out of the postseason.

Wheeler spent 10 years at Lafayette, leading the Rams to a 82-31 record and a 2001 Division 4 state title.

Wheeler had tried to take back his resignation that he submitted after the season, but school officials wouldn't reinstate him.

Is Spring Football Practice a Reality in Virginia?

2011-02-24T16:16:00.000-08:00

by Jeff Fisher
Virginia High School Football Huddle

The Virginia High School League has approved a big change to practice rules that could open the door to spring football practice...although it's unlikely that that will happen.

The VHSL Executive Committee voted to allow year-round practice for all sports with the exception of three "dead periods". The new rule, that goes into effect August 1st, allows teams to practice except for the first ten allowable practice days of another sports season as well as a one-week period during the summer.

The old rule allowed teams to practice only during their season and within a specific preseason window.

So the question is...is spring football practice around the corner? The answer is probably not.

Why? The VHSL catastrophic insurance will not apply to out-of-season activities.

Want the Keys to West Springfield's Spread Offense?

2009-09-23T20:17:00.003-07:00

by Jeff Fisher
Virginia High School Football Huddle

Not sure what category this story fits into, but it was differently interesting to read and thought our readers would enjoy it as well.

It centers on former West Springfield (Virginia) head coach Bill Renner selling his 160-page playbook on www.playqb.com for $197. According to Connection Newspapers, Fairfax County Public School administrators are trying to determine if Renner, who is now an assistant head coach at Lake Braddock Secondary School, or the school own the intellectual property within the playbook that talks about West Springfield's five wide attack spread offense.

The website promotes Renner's playbook as "New Type of Football Spread Offense...#1 Rated Offense in Virginia for the Decade"

Should be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Landstown Welcomes Michael Vick to First Day of Practice

Virginia High School Football Huddle
Michael Vick completed his first pass on Monday since being conditionally reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Vick was invited to take part in Landstown (VA) High's first day of practice. He threw several passes to players and then spoke with the team for about 15 minutes.

"I love working with kids and putting smiles on their faces and being able to help them in whatever capacity that I can," Vick told the Virginian-Pilot. "I've been through a lot of experiences in my life and they know it. And for the most part I can help them."

Landstown coach Tommy Reamon was Vick's coach at Warwick High School. As a three-year starter for Reamon, Vick passed for 4,846 yards and 43 touchdowns, plus ran for 1,048 yards and 18 TDs.

Caroline Keeps Head Coach Despite Charges

2009-07-15T15:38:00.000-07:00

by Jeff Fisher
Virginia High School Football Huddle

As everyone knows, my job (not an official one, but someday soon) is to comb the media for high school football stories, and then post them on The High School Football Huddle, so it's a little easier for my readers to get high school football news.

For the most part, I like to talk about all of the positive things that are associated with high school football. I generally don't post the stories about arrests and the police blotter stuff.

However, today I came across a story that made me scratch my head, and thought I had to post it.

It comes from The Free Lance-Star in Fredericksburg in Virginia...

According to the published report Caroline High School will not suspend head coach Ben Boyd for this season even though he's been arraigned on two felony charges of forging and uttering a public document. This is the same Ben Boyd, who in 1991 had a federal misdemeanor conviction for misbranding and illegally dispensing anabolic steroids.

Now, I certainly believe that in America, you're innocent until proven guilty...but...the Caroline School Board didn't even discuss possibly suspending the head coach at its Monday meeting!! If you're wondering, the Virginia High School League has no policy on coaches charged with crimes, so it's up to the individual districts.

Click here to read the entire story, while I continue to scratch my head on what this school district is thinking?

Oh wait...I figured it out...it's because the knuckleheads on the school board think it's too close to the start of practice, and Boyd's suspension could jeopardize the team's season.

That's it...wins trump integrity! Everyone on that school board should be suspended until they figure out the right thing to do!

VHSL Considering Major Changes To Fall High School Football Practice

2006-08-29T10:01:00.000-07:00

The Virginia High School League is expected to consider sweeping changes to the way high school football programs can conduct pre-season camps.

As early as September, the VHSL could vote on a propsal that would using the NCAA model of banning two-a-day practices on consecutive days. The formal proposal also recommends fewer days will full equipment or contact at the start of pre-season practice, plus limits the amount of time that can be spent on the practice field.

The guidelines have been worked on over the past year with the intent of maximizing safety and minimizing risk to injury from the heat. The new rules really hit home after Stafford high lineman Joey Roberson died of hyperthermia, a heat-related illness, three days after collapsing on the football field near the end of a second workout session on the school's second day of practice.
