The Rappahannock County High School varsity football team returns this year, competing for the first time with a full Bull Run district schedule. Last season was the Panther’s first varsity football team, and they went 3 and 7 last year playing only exhibition games because they had joined the Virginia High School League (VHSL) during its two-year redistricting cycle.

“We came in the middle of that two-year cycle, and it was a rough road to go.” said head coach Kemp Pullin.

That rough road had RCHS playing whatever teams they could find, and led to long road trips and lopsided losses, like a 54-0 loss to the Bassett Bengals on the team's second ever varsity game.

“I’m glad that's behind me,” said Pullin.
