💯. I do enjoy how Zack referenced WB having its own “universe” as a reason they tried to restrict him from doing certain things. That’s very polite of him, because WB has no semblance of a “universe” whatsoever—it’s a flimsy slate of solo films that aren’t connected in any way.

Honestly I feel like once a few critics gave it negative reviews, it was like a bunch of ppl jumped on that bandwagon. I enjoyed the movie.
Spotsylvania County School Board votes 5-1 in favor of proceeding with winter sports as planned. Practices will start Dec. 7, with games kicking off Dec. 21.
Absolutely the most incredible ending to a HS football game that I’ve ever seen. Eastern View literally had its back against the wall. Matchup lives up to all the hype.
High school football: Eastern View’s Alex Spangler has been named the Battlefield District offensive player of the year, Drew Shurina is the defensive player of the year and Greg Hatfield is coach of the year.
There was a lot of exciting baseball in the

this season. With regionals starting this Monday, we give your our VirginiaPreps all-district team.
This is one of the reasons why I do what I do. It’s been a joy covering the Eastern View field hockey team—a group of hard-working young women and a coaching staff led by tough women who demand excellence on and off the pitch. Congrats Cyclones on your first state title!!
I had a chance to catch up with three-star prospect David Laney from Highland Springs during Sunday’s Rivals 3 Stripe Camp in Loudoun County, and the rising Senior talked with me about his future and what it’s like being a Springer.

At this point, fade away into oblivion. I sided with him over WWE and was happy to see him come to AEW, only for similar backstage strife to happen around him that happened in WWE. There’s a common denominator there.
Spotsylvania 18, Eastern View 14 FINAL. Knights end Cyclones’ 44-game regular season winning streak and improve to 7-2 overall and 4-1 in the Battlefield District. Eastern View falls to 8-1, 4-1.

They aren’t disappointed; the extreme Snyder cultists WANT them to be disappointed because they’re hoping that’ll somehow invalidate the criticism BvS and JL received and make WB pivot away from Pattinson/Reeves. Neither of those will happen.
Baseball: Riverbend 11, Eastern View 1 FINAL in 5 innings. Host Bears pound out 10 hits and take advantage of 3 Cyclone errors to move to 1-1. Billy Fluharty tosses a complete game 1-hitter, striking out 7 and walking none. Eastern View now 0-1.
We wrapped production on the Culpeper Star-Exponent’s annual high school football preview this morning. Here’s a little peak at this year’s cover. Make sure to pick up your copy this Sunday, Aug. 22!!
@SupermanOnFilm
Also, to be clear, I’m a fan of BvS UE and ZSJL. What I refuse to be is someone who goes out of their way to attack and/or discredit the work of other artists in an effort to validate the work of others (who don’t need my validation).
FINAL: Eastern View 53, Huguenot 37. Cyclones (18-6) advance to tomorrow’s region final at Monacan. Sarah Hatfield turns in a huge game, scoring 19 pts and grabbing 17 rebs.

Amazing sequence, but I know from my perspective, Cena “falling” on Orton for the lucky pinfall only deepened my dislike for his character.
I had the chance to talk with
@spotsybaseball
head coach Travis Payne just one week after the Knights won the school’s first state baseball title. He spoke candidly about the team’s magical season and the legacy the 2018 class left on the program.
On fourth-and-goal from the 3, J.T. Diehl is dropped for a 7-yard loss by Darnell Henderson and Culpeper holds on to beat Fauquier 13-10. First win of the season for the Blue Devils.

@WWE
Actually, they don’t all start out in WWE. Also, this is a dangerously narrow view to have on anything, to be so loyal to something that you see no faults in it. I’ve spent a ton of time and money on WWE over the last three decades or so, and I can still say this: WWE is broken.
@alannadeau2016
@nikoexxtra
Absolutely right. They shouldn’t be waiting in airports whether we’re in a pandemic or not. However, the pandemic takes a creepy situation and adds potential exposure to a virus to it. Double whammy. Don’t blame Punk here.
A first for me this afternoon, as I’m covering a sporting event at legendary Handley High School in Winchester. The host Judges (7-0) welcome Culpeper (5-3) in the Class 4 Northwestern District championship game coming up at the top of the hour.
@dougherty_jesse
As long as Angelos is allowed to own a franchise and a network, nonsense like this will continue to happen. He’s spent three decades running the Orioles into the ground, and he’s still bitter that another team that cares about competing has taken many of the fans he ran off.
@Scott7news
It’s more so from D.C. to Fredericksburg really. Getting through Springfield, Woodbridge, Quantico and Stafford is hell, then it’s typically smooth from Fredericksburg to Richmond. Volume and people who don’t know how to drive make it awful for everyone.
Greg Hatfield has decided to step down as the head coach of
@CycloneEV
. Cyclones went 109-36 with eight playoff berths, seven district or conference titles and one regional championship under him. Story to come.
Eastern View 20, Caroline 12 FINAL. Cyclones start off with a win against a very game Cavalier squad. Raq Lawson with 22 carries for 142 yds and adds a pair of INTs from his safety position.
Eastern View 49, Courtland 42 FINAL. Cyclones (13-2) rally from a 14-point third-quarter deficit to claim the program’s first regional championship. D’Aze Hunter leads the way with 12 pts, 6 stls and 4 asts, Corey Long posts 10 pts, 13 rebs and 3 blks & D’Myo Hunter adds 10 pts.
@Luiz_Fernando_J
I’m going to see it because I’m a DC fan and a comic fan in general, but I just can’t get excited about it.
Also, the “most enjoyable DC film to date” … yeah, I’m going to need a lot of convincing on that one.

@WrestlingInc
So on a TV ratings report, it’s broken down primarily by demographics, not by total viewers. The 18-49 demo is what’s looked at first, because that age group is generally the largest, spends the most money on merchandise, etc. AEW beat WWE in that demo.
Spotsy senior center fielder Dante Fairchild led off last night’s game with a solo homer—his second of the season. The speedster also stole a base, making him a perfect 6-for-6 on such attempts.

I don’t know your boy personally, but he’s alright in my book brother 👍
Also, when a four-hour film can hold the attention of an 11-year-old, especially in today’s world of smartphones and tablets, you know it had to be a damn excellent film.
Chancellor 37, Eastern View 22 FINAL. Chargers finish the regular season 4-2 and will travel to Brooke Point to play a “+1 bowl game” next week. Cyclones finish with three straight losses and a 3-3 mark.

This 💯.
Everyone Fisher has been firing shots at for two years is gone from WB. Now he wants to come at Gunn. I’m over it tbh. And Gunn is doing a phenomenal job at handling all the 💩 coming at him.

Marvel tends to get a pass on such things since their universe is more established. I enjoy their movies but I'm a DC guy at heart.
It’s been awhile since I’ve had this view. High school football kicks off in about 20 minutes as Caroline and Eastern View square off here at Courtland High School.
@MLBFullMinors
I’m as patient as anyone, having worked on NCAA Football rosters myself. But this is now borderline absurd. The game has been out for 10 weeks as of this Friday. I also think most people wouldn’t be as frustrated if there were regular updates, as opposed to the silent treatment.
Eastern View junior Terese Greene eclipsed the 1,000-point barrier in her career with this free throw during tonight's game at Courtland. We'll have a story on Terese hitting this milestone in Thursday's edition of the Culpeper Star-Exponent.
#CongratsTerese
Eastern View 52, Monacan 44 FINAL. Cyclones (19-2) beat Chiefs (16-7) for the first time to advance to Monday’s Region 4B title game and next Friday’s Class 4 state tourney. Freshman Ange Hyonkeu scores 18 pts, Trinity Washington finishes with 16 pts, 12 rebs and 6 asts.
@davemeltzerWON
People don’t get it, especially those who weren’t born back then. It was the right guy in the right place at the right time with the right promotional machine behind him. It doesn’t work with anyone except Hogan, no matter how badly some want to try and downplay his star power.
@EBischoff
Exactly what was at the heart of the morning-after water cooler-talk during the nWo and Attitude Era. “Can you believe so-and-so joined the nWo last night?” “Did you see what Austin did you McMahon?” When pro wrestling is at its best, that’s the effect it causes. I miss that.
Culpeper County 22, Caroline 0 FINAL. Blue Devils improve to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in Battlefield District behind 212 yards and two TDs rushing on 28 carries by Malachi Terrell. Cavaliers fall to 0-4, 0-1.
Thanks to all who supported. These guys perseverance and toughness showed this season. Thank you to our seniors for leading the way as we work to bring this program back to where it belongs.
