We know we'll have to swing the bats, throw strikes and play good defense to beat them. Chatham trailed early in both regular-season games before turning them into routs. Rigney had two home runs, a double and drove in five runs in the first game. Ken Brumfield drove in three runs with three singles, and Barry Harris had a double and two singles in the second contest. Thomas Meadows also had a pair of singles.
Teams get better as the year goes on.
The bus ride to Magna Vista is significantly shorter than that to Abingdon, located in the southwest part of the state near Bristol, but Scolpini doesn't relish playing the Warriors a third time this season. Elsewhere, Abingdon plays at William Byrd. I runnerup, Poquoson plays Region II champ, Western Albemarle at Charlottesville High. Turner Ashby, Region II runnerup, visits Tabb, Region I champ.
