Proud to announce that I have officially committed to Christopher Newport University in pursuit of my football career. Thank you to all my coaches and staff for helping me and getting me to where I am today. @CoachDaveBishop @FBvikingstrong @coachpcrowley @cnu_football

Before school. After school. Weekends too. I don’t stop!! @CoachDaveBishop @FBvikingstrong

Congratulations to @GaffneyMac842 on being named @FBvikingstrong Team MVP. As a true three-sport athlete, Mack never stops working, and it shows every time he steps on the field. He does special things with the ball in his hands, changing games with his speed, toughness, and playmaking ability. Mack set multiple school records, including 51 receptions in a season, 85 career receptions, and 173 yards in a single game. He also made history as the first player at Loudoun Valley to earn All-State honors on both offense and defense as a WR/DB — an incredible accomplishment that speaks to his versatility and elite competitiveness. He did all of this while earning a 4.1 GPA in the classroom…true student-athlete. Mack was a driving force behind a 10-win season, a District Championship, and a Regional Runner-Up finish. His leadership, work ethic, and love for the game set the standard for our program. We’re proud of you, Mack — well deserved. @LVHAthletics @CoachVal88 @RAMtraining21 @Coach_Choppy @CoachBfletcher @cloftis25 @CoachBev52 @CoachBolden
