As we dive into the homestretch of the regular season and say goodbye to January, the emphasis becomes less on where you stand here than where you stand in your region. The playoffs will be here in less than three weeks! We have a new #1 girls team, and a situation in the Dominion District where you could put two teams in our poll from that district together and who knows who would come out on top. Meanwhile, Varina's boys team stays unbeaten in impressive fashion, heading towards a weekend showdown!
