Welcome to another exciting season of Hopewell Blue Devils football.  The 2001 season looks to be another good one for Hopewell.  In 2000, the Blue Devils finished the season with an 8-4 record overall (4-2 record in the Central District).  The Blue Devils also played for the Central Region Championship for the second consecutive season, losing to Central District Rival Dinwiddie 28-7, who was runner-up for the Division 5 Virginia State Championship.  The 2000 Hopewell team was very young overall, replacing pretty much their whole offensive line.  On top of that, the front seven on defense had to be replaced, leaving many question marks to be answered on both sides of the ball.  However, the Blue Devils continued their winning tradition by making their fourth consecutive trip to the Central Region playoffs.
