CLASS 6, REGION A:

9) Meadowbrook 22.375
10) Cosby 20.429
11) Deep Run 19.375
ANALYSIS: Thomas Dale's final three opponents, Patrick Henry, Hopewell and Petersburg, have a combined ten wins. Highland Springs finishes with Hermitage, Varina and Hanover, and they hold a combined fourteen. If the Knights and Springers both win out, other game results from their opponents will likely decide who gets the number one seed. Why is that important? Home field advantage through the region championship round on Thanksgiving weekend. Manchester's chances to jump both teams are remote. After Friday's game with five-win L.C. Bird, they finish with the winless Richmond School For The Arts and Cosby, currently on the outside looking in. Glen Allen has Oscar Smith breathing down its neck for the #4 seed and a first round home game. The Tigers have a huge game at unbeaten King's Fork Friday which, with a win, would leapfrog the Jaguars, even if they defeat one-win Deep Run. Of the other Richmond teams, Meadowbrook has the best mathematical chance to get to the top eight, but the road is very difficult, already having played eight games and having Hopewell and Dinwiddie to wrap the season.

15) Clover Hill 17.0
ANALYSIS: The Patriots of Roanoke take over the top spot, thanks in part to Glen Allen's win over Hermitage. Matoaca's rout of Hopewell puts them in prime position to challenge for the top seed in a region they requested to be in during the reclassification process a year ago. How close is this region? Midlothian, who is 5-2, with a win over James River Friday, could leap back into the top eight and then some, with #5 Mills Godwin and #6 Douglas Freeman facing each other, #7 L.C. Bird hosting Manchester and #8 Franklin County battling 6-1 William Byrd from Class 3. Louisa could further separate themselves from those behind them with a win over 5-2 Fluvanna Friday. At the top? PH-Roanoke gets 7-1 Christiansburg (Class 3), while Hermitage has Highland Springs. A win for Matoaca at Petersburg coupled with losses by the Patriots and Panthers could put the Warriors at #1 with two weeks left. There is going to be a tremendous amount of movement down the stretch here, with essentially eleven teams left in the hunt.

ANALYSIS: Buckle up. :)
The biggest game of the season in this region is this Friday when #1 King George goes to #3 Eastern View in a battle of unbeatens. The Cyclones were once the dominant northern force in this region until a stumble at the end of the last decade, concurrent with the Foxes' rise as a program. King George, arguably, could have won the Class 4 state title last year as they gave Dinwiddie their, by far, biggest challenge in the regional final. If you are Varina, you do not, in any way, shape or form, look past Atlee. The Raiders are one of likely six teams currently outside of the top eight whose chances for the playoffs are still alive. Hanover has the best chance to return to the top side of the ledger as they host Henrico in a #9 vs #8 seed contest Friday. Back inside the top eight, Huguenot goes to Class 6 Cosby Thursday, while Dinwiddie gets Class 5 Prince George that night. The third big battle in the region is Powhatan at Monacan. The Chiefs need it more, but they both need the win. Now if Patrick Henry finds a way to beat 7-0 Thomas Dale, they immediately enter the conversation in a much stronger way, while Caroline needs a win at Colonial Heights to keep pace.

ANALYSIS: Despite their loss to Matoaca, Hopewell lives another week at the top. They play a Meadowbrook team desperate for a win for their postseason hopes while Lafayette plays one-win Jamestown. I.C. Norcom is ineligible for the playoffs, while Grafton, tied for the last two playoff spots, has #4 Tabb. Lake Taylor, also at 3-4 (yes, 3-4) plays 5-2 Churchland. Petersburg could possibly improve their standing with a win at Colonial Heights next week, but they may need to also pull an upset against either Matoaca (this week) or Thomas Dale in the regular season finale.

ANALYSIS: Remember, Thomas Jefferson will only play nine games due to the cancellation of their opening game at Huguenot. With the Falcons having a great season, that likely hurts the Vikings in the long run. Now, TJ, with J.R. Tucker, Armstrong and Colonial Heights left on the schedule, while Kettle Run plays two one-win teams and Brentsville District (6-1). Brentsville must win that one and get help to have a real shot at #1. Goochland is still alive, but only has two games left, both against teams with winning records (Fluvanna and Louisa).

ANALYSIS: Amelia is looking good at 5-2, and they host #3 Central-Lunenburg next week. Winning out could get them higher. Poquoson's schedule is challenging with Bruton and Lafayette, plus one-win New Kent. Central only has Cumberland and Amelia remaining. Despite a tough regular season, King William, at 2-5, thanks to strength of schedule, can fend off challenges down the stretch with Mechanicsville (Class 4), West Point and the annual King & Queen Central showdown to come. John Marshall has 6-1 Brunswick (Class 1), Booker T. Washington (Class 3) and Riverheads (Class 2, also 6-1) left. One win, depending on how Southampton does, could be enough, two wins should be a clincher for the Justices.
