January 31st, 2012

The Jefferson District version of the Backyard Brawl is tonight is Crozet. The high flying Fluco's (15-2, 6-1) are ringing down the curtain on YaYa Anderson's incredible career.

At the beginning of the JD boys 2012 campaign you knew that Fluvanna, CHS & WAHS would have significant games the last weekend of the season. You probably didn't think that CHS would be playing the role of spoiler. You probably had penciled WAHS to be the spoiler considering the fact that the Warriors went 6-17 last year.
