FOOTBALL: VHSL Region Standings: Week 11 Presented By Luck Chevrolet

We've made it to the final week of the regular season in high school football, a season filled with twists and turns, and we're sure more to come. Let's take a deep dive into the latest standings, find out who's in, who needs to win this week and more, all presented by our friends at Luck Chevrolet in Ashland! Remember, the top eight teams in each region reach the playoffs, and teams who have clinched postseason berths are noted with an asterisk (*). Also of note, when we get to State Semifinal Saturday on December 4th, Region A and Region B champions will face each other, while Region C and D champions will square off. 

CLASS 6, REGION A:

1) Oscar Smith* (33.5, 7-1, vs Phoebus, 9-0)
2) Thomas Dale* (30.0, 7-1, vs Dinwiddie, 7-0)
3) Western Branch* (29.8, 8-2, regular season complete)
4) Manchester* (29.25, 6-2, vs Monacan, 5-4)
5) Ocean Lakes* (27.625, 5-3, vs Bayside, 5-4)
6) James River* (26.556, 5-4, vs Midlothian, 7-1)
7) Franklin County* (25.444, 4-5, vs Northside, 4-5)

8) Cosby (23.444, 3-6, vs Powhatan, 6-3)
--

9) Floyd Kellam (22.556, 3-6, vs Kempsville, 6-1)

BREAKDOWN: Only one playoff spot remains open, and will go to either Cosby or Floyd Kellam. They both have tough opponents, and, if both should lose, the advantage stays with the Titans. Oscar Smith has clinched the #1 seed regardless of Friday's result with Phoebus, who, too, have clinched their region, Class 3, Region A. Western Branch is idle, but could retake the #2 seed if Dinwiddie defeats Thomas Dale. Manchester could move as high as #2 should Thomas Dale fall as well, depending upon several other game results. If the Lancers lose to Monacan, who must win to have a shot to make the Class 4, Region B postseason, it could cost them a first round home game should Ocean Lakes win and results of other games in the 757. James River is mathematically alive for the #4 seed, but it's highly unlikely. A loss to Midlothian could send them to #7, but they can't slide any further. Whether Cosby or Floyd Kellam make it, they'll be the #8 seed and head to Oscar Smith next Friday.

ELSEWHERE: 

Region 6B: 1) Battlefield 34.444, 2) Patriot 30.889, 3) Freedom-PW 30.4

Region 6C: 1) Robinson 33.333, 2) South County 32.889, 3) Fairfax 31.889

Region 6D: 1) James Madison 34.111, 2) Centreville 30.556, 3) Westfield 28.0

CLASS 5, REGION C:

1) Highland Springs* (30.556, 7-2, vs Varina, 7-1)
2) Midlothian* (28.75, 7-1, vs James River, 5-4)
3) Hermitage* (27.667, 7-2, vs Deep Run, 0-9)

4) Douglas Freeman* (26.667, 7-2, vs Glen Allen, 4-4)
5) L.C. Bird* (26.143, 4-3, vs Clover Hill, 2-7)
6) Glen Allen* (24.125, 4-4, vs Douglas Freeman, 7-2)

7) Prince George (22.125, 2-6, vs Hopewell, 4-3)
8) Mills Godwin (22.0, 3-6, vs Thomas Jefferson, 6-2)
--

9) J.R. Tucker (21.75, 4-4, game canceled)

10) Clover Hill (20.222, 2-7, vs L.C. Bird, 4-3)

BREAKDOWN: Highland Springs and Midlothian will be the top two seeds here. The question is, in what order. Both have big rivals, with the Highland Springs/Varina showdown set for 2:30 Saturday, and Midlothian heading to face James River in the Coal Bowl. Hermitage is hampered in its quest to climb higher by facing a winless opponent in Week 11 (Deep Run), while they'll need a Patrick Henry win over Mechanicsville in the Tomato Bowl and a Hanover win over Atlee to help make sure Douglas Freeman doesn't catch them for third place should the Mavericks defeat Glen Allen. The Jaguars look to move up, but an L.C. Bird win over Clover Hill could nix that. If the Jaguars and Skyhawks win, it's possible each move up and Glen Allen would travel to L.C. Bird in the quarterfinal round next week. The fun begins at #7, where three teams battle for two slots. Because J.R. Tucker's game with John Marshall was canceled, and the Tigers were unable to find a new opponent, they must sit and watch their future unfold. If Prince George and Mills Godwin both win, they are in, and the Tigers watch another would-be playoff bid go by the boards. Clover Hill is mathematically alive, but they need, for example, I.C. Norcom to beat Lake Taylor. Possible, but unlikely.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 5A: 1) Green Run 32.444, 2) Kempsville 31.286, 3) Salem-VB 28.375

Region 5B: 1) Maury 30.0, 2) Woodside 26.875, 3) Norview 24.875

Region 5D: 1) Stone Bridge 35.111, 2) Mountain View 31.111, 3) Massaponax 29.857

CLASS 4, REGION B:

1) Dinwiddie* (30.286, 7-0, vs Thomas Dale, 7-1)
2) King George* (30.25, 8-0, vs Courtland, 4-5)
3) Matoaca* (29.0, 8-1, vs Meadowbrook, 0-7)
4) Varina* (28.125, 7-1, vs Highland Springs, 7-2)
5) Patrick Henry* (26.667, 7-2, vs Mechanicsville, 2-7)
6) Powhatan (25.222, 6-3, vs Cosby, 3-6)

7) Chancellor (24.875, 5-3, vs James Monroe, 4-5)
8) Hanover (23.125, 4-4, vs Atlee, 5-4)

--

9) Monacan (23.111, 5-4, vs Manchester, 6-2)
10) Spotsylvania (22.889, 5-4, vs Caroline, 0-8)
11) Atlee (22.444, 5-4, vs Hanover, 4-4)
12) Courtland (21.556, 4-5, vs King George, 8-0)

ELSEWHERE: We told you back in August that this would be the rough, rugged, crazy, and most competitive region in our area. We'll argue it's the best region in Virginia. The top five teams are in, and Powhatan is on the cusp of getting their first trip to the playoffs since 2016. If the Indians win, it's down to two spots and six teams. First, our "High School Football Friday Night" showdown on Rejoice 101.3 FM/990 AM and here on our website between Hanover and Atlee is not mathematically a "win and get in" scenario. Here's how wacky it is: Hanover would gain two points should Monacan knock off Manchester, but would rather Manchester win, because, with a Hawk victory over the Raiders and a Lancers win, Hanover would move forward to next week. It's mathematically possible for Monacan to move as high as #6, should Cosby upset Powhatan and James Monroe upset Chancellor. James Monroe is playing for a home playoff game in Region 3B, so they have serious motivation. Spotsylvania is a victim of a bad final opponent: winless Caroline. They'll need a win, Hanover and Monacan losses, and some upsets including Fluvanna over Albemarle, for a chance. Atlee and Courtland actually have higher ceilings than Spotsylvania. And if Courtland hands King George their first loss of the season? All bets are off. 

ELSEWHERE:

Region 4A: 1) King's Fork 28.625, 2) Hampton 28.333, 3) Warhill 26.889

Region 4C: 1) Broad Run 29.222, 2) Kettle Run 28.889, 3) Heritage-LC 28.667

Region 4D: 1) GW-Danville 29.5, 2) Salem 29.222, 3) E.C. Glass 28.556

CLASS 3, REGION A:

1) Phoebus* (31.333, 9-0, vs Oscar Smith, 7-1)

2) York* (26.556, 8-1, vs Bruton, 3-6)
3) Lafayette* (26.375, 7-1, vs Warhill, 8-1)
4) Lake Taylor* (23.667, 5-4, vs I.C. Norcom, 1-5)
5) Booker T. Washington* (22.5, 5-3, vs Manor, 3-3)

6) Hopewell* (22.0, 4-3, vs Prince George, 2-6)
7) Southampton (20.375, 5-3, vs Franklin, 2-7)
8) Tabb (20.333, 4-5, vs Jamestown, 1-8)

--

9) New Kent (19.222, 4-5, vs Smithfield, 3-5)
10) Petersburg (18.625, 3-5, vs Colonial Heights, 3-6)
11) Colonial Heights (18.222, 3-6, vs Petersburg, 3-5)

BREAKDOWN: Phoebus is in and the top seed and will get a great test with Oscar Smith to only prime them for what they hope is a deep postseason run. With a win, Lafayette moves to #2 regardless of York's result. Lake Taylor looks to hold onto the #4 seed (that's the highest they can go), while Booker T. Washington hopes I.C. Norcom pulls off an upset so that, if they have a rematch with the Titans next weekend, it's a home game. Hopewell, with a win and a Bookers loss, could be the ones headed to Lake Taylor instead, and, if the Titans and Bookers both fall, Hopewell may slide up to #4, but they'll need to win over a Prince George team who clinches a Region 5C berth with a victory. The final two bids are open, but none of the five teams in contention are playing a team currently .500 or better. New Kent needs a Jamestown win over Tabb and a Franklin upset of Southampton to make it, while the winner of Petersburg/Colonial Heights needs those two things to happen and a New Kent loss to Smithfield. Petersburg has a long shot, Colonial Heights' is even longer.

CLASS 3, REGION B:

1) Meridian* (24.333, 7-2, vs William Monroe, 2-6)

2) Brentsville District* (23.889, 7-2, vs Manassas Park, 0-9)

3) Goochland* (20.889, 5-4, vs Louisa, 7-2)

4) James Monroe* (20.0, 4-5, vs. Chancellor, 5-3)
5) Culpeper County* (18.9, 4-6, regular season complete)

6) Skyline (16.875, 2-6, vs Warren County, 3-6)
7) Warren County (16-778, 3-6, vs Skyline, 2-6)
8) Armstrong (14.875, 1-7, vs Park View-Sterling, 2-7)
--

9) William Monroe (14.625, 2-6, vs Meridian, 7-2)

BREAKDOWN: The good news for Goochland is they cannot be caught for fourth place no matter what. A win over Louisa, however, clinches the #3 seed. The top two teams are likely to win, but what if William Monroe shocks the region and beats Meridian? Brentsville, with a win, moves to the top. The winner of Skyline/Warren County clinches a berth, leaving the loser with Armstrong and William Monroe. Three teams fighting for two positions. Could the Wildcats finally get a win and claim their own destiny? They'll go to Northern Virginia to find out.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 3C: 1) Liberty Christian 30.5, 2) Heritage-Lynchburg 26.778, 3) Brookville 24.375

Region 3D: 1) Christiansburg 29.556, 2) Abingdon 26.0, 3) Bassett 24.778

CLASS 2, REGION A:

1) Nottoway* (26.25, 8-0, vs Bluestone, 0-7)
2) King William* (23.875, 7-1, vs King & Queen Central, 8-0)
3) Thomas Jefferson* (21.5, 6-2, vs Mills Godwin, 3-6)
4) Greensville* (20.857, 5-2, vs Brunswick, 4-2)

5) Amelia County* (20.778, 7-2, vs Central-Lunenburg, 6-2)
6) Poquoson* (20.75, 4-4, vs Grafton, 1-8)

7) Brunswick (19.667, 4-2, vs Greensville, 5-2)

8) Randolph-Henry (17.0, 4-4, vs Prince Edward, 2-7)
--

9) Bruton (15.0, 3-6, vs York, 8-1)

BREAKDOWN: The advantage to the Cougars as Nottoway plays winless Bluestone while King William has their annual showdown with King and Queen Central, looking to go unbeaten and clinch the Region 1A's top seed. Thomas Jefferson, even with a win over Mills Godwin, looks to stay in the #3 slot, but if they lose, and Greensville beats Brunswick and Amelia County knocks off Central-Lunenburg, the Vikings could drop to #5 and hit the road next week, or even #6 should Poquoson win and some other results go against TJ. If Bruton wins, they could swipe the final bid from Randolph-Henry. If they don't, Randolph-Henry takes the final berth and heads to Nottoway, where they lost earlier this season.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 2B: 1) Stuarts Draft 25.375, 2) Clarke County 24.111, 3) Strasburg 23.778

Region 2C: 1) Glenvar 25.222, 2) Appomattox 23.889, 3) Radford 20.889

Region 2D: 1) Graham 28.0, 2) Virginia 23.778, 3) Union 22.0

CLASS 1, REGION A:

1) King & Queen Central* (20.5, 8-0, vs King William, 7-1)
2) Essex* (19.2, 4-1, vs Rappahannock, 4-4)
3) Northampton* (19.111, 7-2, vs Arcadia, 0-8)
4) Washington & Lee* (18.714, 4-3, vs Colonial Beach, 5-3)
5) West Point* (18.5, 5-3, vs Nandua, 2-6)
6) Colonial Beach* (17.0, 5-3, vs Washington & Lee, 4-3)
7) Northumberland (15.571, 5-2, vs Lancaster, 1-8)
8) Rappahannock (14.5, 4-4, vs Essex, 4-1)
--

9) Middlesex (14.0, 3-3, vs Mathews, 0-8)

BREAKDOWN: The Royals take the top seed with a win over archrival King William, who has been on a roll lately, especially offensively. A Cavalier win opens the door for Essex, despite only playing six games. If Rappahannock beats the Trojans, Northampton can slide up to #2, but will need Nandua, Cumberland, Bruton, Washington & Lee, and Portsmouth Christian all to win in order to tie King & Queen Central for first. Washington & Lee needs to win, get losses above them, and have Lancaster and Brunswick win to suddenly fight for the top. Yes, four teams are mathematically alive for the top seed this week. That's how topsy turvy this region has been thanks to several things, including COVID, and the horrible shooting incident that marred, and suspended, the King & Queen/Essex showdown September 24th. This region looks much different if that game finishes. Instead, it's a no contest. Middlesex must win, and get at least an Essex win over Rappahannock, and maybe a Lancaster upset of Northumberland, to crack the top eight.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 1B: 1) Riverheads 27.778, 2) Buffalo Gap 20.889, 3) Central-Lunenburg 19.125

Region 1C: 1) Galax 22.75, 2) Giles 21.714, 3) Parry McCluer 18.778

Region 1D: 1) Holston 23.556, 2) Twin Springs 21.875, 3) Patrick Henry-Glade Spring 20.0

UPDATED: VHSL FOOTBALL REGION RANKINGS: WEEK 10

Two weeks to go, lots of games in flux, many teams looking at a nine or even eight-game season rather than ten, and much more. It's a Virginia High School League (VHSL) football playoff race unlike any other. Twenty-six teams are currently in, and plenty more still in the fight for the postseason. Here's the latest regional standings with a deep dive into what's ahead over the next twelve days.....

NOTE: The top eight teams make the postseason in each region.

CLASS 6, REGION A:

1) Oscar Smith (31.0, 6-1, at Western Branch, 8-1, Class 6)
2) Western Branch (29.778, 8-1, vs Oscar Smith, 6-1, Class 6)
3) Thomas Dale (29.125, 7-1, Bye)
4) Manchester (28.714, 5-2, at Huguenot, 1-5, Class 4)
5) Ocean Lakes (27.0, 5-3, Bye)
6) James River (25.667, 5-4, Bye)
7) Franklin County (25.625, 4-4, vs Lord Botetourt, 4-3, Class 3)
8) Floyd Kellam (22.75, 3-5, vs Tallwood, 2-6, Class 5)
---
9) Cosby (22.375, 2-6, vs George Wythe, 1-6, Class 4)
10) Grassfield (20.0, 1-7, vs Nansemond River, 3-4, Class 5)

BREAKDOWN: If Western Branch wants to win the region title, they have their opportunity, as they host Oscar Smith this week. If the Tigers win, they will all but clinch the number one seed. Thomas Dale and Manchester actually need Western Branch to win any hopes of moving up to the top spot, but the Knights are at a disadvantage with a bye this week. The Lancers, with a win, will likely retake third with a week to go, but then it will be advantage Thomas Dale in Week 11, facing an unbeaten Dinwiddie team, while Manchester plays Monacan, who hovers around .500. James River moves up to sixth, and has a shot at the fifth seed should they knock off Midlothian next week while Ocean Lakes loses to Bayside. Cosby is still very much alive, but needs wins over George Wythe and Powhatan to be in position, while needing Kellam to lose at least one of their last two. 

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 6B: 1) Battlefield 33.25, 2) Patriot 29.625, 3) Freedom-PW 29.222
REGION 6C: 1) Robinson 34.0, 2) South County 31.75, 3) Lake Braddock 30.625
REGION 6D: 1) James Madison 33.0, 2) Centreville 29.625, 3) Chantilly 27.25


CLASS 5, REGION C: 

1) Midlothian (29.143, 7-0, vs Powhatan, 5-3, Class 4)
2) Highland Springs (28.75, 6-2, at Atlee, 5-3, Class 4)
3) Hermitage (27.5, 6-2, d. Henrico 35-6, game vs John Marshall forfeited to Hermitage)
4) Douglas Freeman (25.889, 7-2, Bye)
5) L.C. Bird (25.0, 3-3, vs Huguenot, 1-5, Class 4)
6) Glen Allen (23.286, 3-4, vs Deep Run, 0-8, Class 5)
7) Mills Godwin (22.0, 3-5, at J.R. Tucker, 3-4, Class 5)
8T) Prince George (20.286, 1-6, at Petersburg Thursday, 7pm, 3-4, Class 3)
        J.R. Tucker (20.286, 3-4, vs Mills Godwin, 3-5, Class 5)
---
10) Clover Hill (20.125, 2-6, at Monacan, 4-4, Class 4)

UPDATED BREAKDOWN: The lead for Midlothian over Highland Springs shrinks, and, this week, they both play Class 4 teams with identical records. If both win, games involving their opponents could determine who's on top in the final week. Hermitage's 35-6 win over Henrico Tuesday shook some things up. The Panthers moved up a bit to 27.5, while Douglas Freeman and Mills Godwin each earned one point while Glen Allen, who beat Hermitage, earned two to draw within 1.714 of L.C. Bird. When the Mavericks host Glen Allen November 5th, it will be their first game in 21 days. The Jaguars missed a golden opportunity to fight Douglas Freeman for the #4 seed due to their overtime loss to Lake Taylor, as L.C. Bird takes advantage with an upset over Powhatan. The Skyhawks don't play Friday, but play twice in Week 11, hosting Huguenot next Monday, then going to Clover Hill. The bad news there is both teams currently have a combined three wins. Strength of schedule finally rewards Prince George with the #8 seed, J.R. Tucker being in COVID protocol. However, the Tigers pulled into an eighth place tie Tuesday night thanks to the Hermitage win. The Royals finish with a trip to Petersburg, then a home game with Hopewell. Clover Hill goes to Monacan, then finishes hosting the Skyhawks. It's amazing that less than two-tenths of a point separate the teams in eighth through tenth. Mills Godwin isn't a sure thing, either. With those three teams looming, a head to head win over J.R. Tucker this week would likely eliminate one contender, and a home win over Thomas Jefferson November 5th would seal a postseason bid.

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 5A: 1) Green Run 31.5, 2) Kempsville 31.0, 3) Salem-VB 26.714
REGION 5B: 1) Maury 28.0, 2) Woodside 26.429, 3) Norview 24.143
REGION 5D: 1) Stone Bridge 33.75, 2) Mountain View 30.0, 3) Massaponax 28.0


CLASS 4, REGION B:

1) Dinwiddie (30.0, 6-0, vs Meadowbrook, 0-7, Class 5)
2) King George (28.857, 7-0, vs Spotsylvania, Thursday, 7pm, 5-3, Class 4)
3) Varina (28.571, 7-0, vs Patrick Henry, 6-2, Class 4)
4) Matoaca (27.75, 7-1, at Hopewell, Thursday, 7pm, 4-2, Class 3)
5) Patrick Henry (25.0, 6-2, at Varina, 7-0, Class 4)
6) Chancellor (23.8, 3-2, vs Culpeper County, 4-5, Class 3)
7) Powhatan (22.875, 5-3, at Midlothian, 7-0, Class 5)
8) Spotsylvania (22.625, 5-3, at King George, Thursday, 7pm, 7-0, Class 4)
---
9) Atlee (22.5, 5-3, vs Highland Springs, 6-2, Class 5)
10) Monacan (21.75, 4-4, vs Clover Hill, 2-6, Class 5)
11) Hanover (21.714, 3-4, vs Henrico, 2-6, Class 4)
12) Courtland (20.714, 3-4, vs Eastern View, 4-4, Class 4)
13) Eastern View (19.5, 4-4, at Courtland, 3-4, Class 4)

BREAKDOWN: Lots to digest here. We start at the top, where Dinwiddie loses half a point to King George and Varina, and, if all three unbeatens prevail Friday, there will likely be a new #1, and it could be Varina by the narrowest of margins, thanks to facing a 6-2 Patrick Henry team, who wants to hand the Blue Devils their first loss and see if it will be enough to threaten Matoaca for the fourth seed. The Warriors, meanwhile, have a tough Central District battle at Hopewell, who is fighting for playoff position in Region 3A. Chancellor, despite only playing five games, jumps back into the top eight with a win last week, but the two teams below them, Powhatan and Spotsylvania, each have a chance to pull upsets of unbeatens and not only overtake Chancellor, but threaten Patrick Henry's #5 seed should they fall at Varina. Now, to the craziness at the bottom of the top eight. Hanover loses, falls from 7th to 11th, while Atlee won, and still fell from 8th to 9th. Five teams are within 1.161 points of each other. Monacan and Hanover will be favored this week, hoping that neither Powhatan, Spotsylvania, nor Atlee can pull off upsets. Longshots Courtland and Eastern View play, essentially, an elimination game Friday.

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 4A: 1) King's Fork 28.0, 2T) Warhill & Hampton 27.0
REGION 4C: 1) Heritage-LC 28.375, 2) Kettle Run 27.889, 3) Broad Run 27.25
REGION 4D: 1) GW-Danville 29.0, 2) Western Albemarle 28.625, 3) Salem 27.625, 5) Louisa 26.125


CLASS 3, REGION A:

1) Phoebus (30.75, 7-0, vs Gloucester Thursday, 1-6, Class 5)
2) Lafayette (24.857, 6-1, at Poquoson, 4-3, Class 2)
3) York (24.25, 7-1, at Warhill, 8-0, Class 3)
4) Booker T. Washington (22.714, 5-2, at Maury, 3-1, Class 5)
5) Lake Taylor (22.5, 4-4, at Granby, 0-7, Class 5)
6) Hopewell (22.167, 4-2, vs Matoaca, Thursday, 7pm, 7-1, Class 4)
7) Petersburg (19.0, 3-4, vs Prince George, Thursday, 7pm, 1-6, Class 5)
8) Tabb (18.875, 3-5, vs Bruton, 3-5, Class 3)
---
9T) New Kent (18.0, 3-5, at Jamestown Saturday, 1-6, Class 4)
        I.C. Norcom (18.0, 1-4, at Norview, 4-3, Class 5)
11) Southampton (17.833, 2-3, at Windsor, 0-7, Class 2)
12) Lakeland (17.0, 2-5, vs King's Fork, 6-1, Class 4)
13) Colonial Heights (15.75, 2-6, vs Thomas Jefferson Monday, 6-1, Class 2)

UPDATED BREAKDOWN: Phoebus' massive lead is cut into just a bit, but they still hold a nearly six point advantage over #2 Lafayette. The battle is still behind them. York, with a win over unbeaten Warhill, would overtake Lafayette for second, win or lose. Lafayette will not finish their suspended game with King George. It goes as a no-contest. The battle for the fourth seed, and with it, a home game in the region quarterfinals November 12th, is hot and heavy. Hopewell has the advantage this week to claim it with a win over 7-1 Matoaca. Then, similar to Region 4B, here, seeds seven to eleven are separated by only two points. I.C. Norcom, playing a Class 5 opponent with four wins, has the best chance of grabbing seventh with a win, should Petersburg, Tabb and New Kent fall for sure. They still could jump if some of the teams ahead of them win due to opponents with worse records, and, thus, less bonus points. Colonial Heights must win their last two games, and maybe get help, to climb into a playoff bid.

CLASS 3, REGION B: 

1) Meridian (23.75, 6-2, at Manassas Park, 0-8, Class 3)
2) Brentsville District (23.25, 6-2, vs Skyline, 2-5, Class 3)
3) Goochland (20.625, 5-3, at Orange, Thursday, 7pm, 5-3, Class 4)
4) James Monroe (19.5, 3-5, at Caroline, Thursday, 7pm, 0-8, Class 3)
5) Culpeper County (18.889, 4-5, at Chancellor, Thursday, 7pm, 3-2, Class 4)
6) Skyline (16.429, 2-5, at Brentsville District, 6-2, Class 3)
7) Warren County (15.75, 2-6, Bye)
8) Armstrong (15.143, 1-6, at Mechanicsville, 1-7, Class 4)
---
9) William Monroe (14.143, 2-5, at Central Woodstock, 6-1, Class 2)
10T) Caroline (13.625, 0-8, vs James Monroe, Thursday, 7pm, 3-5, Class 3)
          Manassas Park (13.625, 0-8, vs Meridian, 6-2, Class 3)

BREAKDOWN: Goochland still has a shot at the top seed, but only if they win their final two games against Orange and Louisa. Meridian's last two opponents have a combined two wins, Brentsville's also two. The Bulldogs' opponents have a combined twelve. James Monroe will need wins to fend off Culpeper County in the race for home field with the #4 seed. Armstrong remains in eighth place, but all three teams below them have a shot to overtake them with wins should the Wildcats finish 1-8. 

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 3C: 1) Liberty Christian 29.714, 2) Heritage-Lynchburg 25.625, 3) Brookville 24.714
REGION 3D: 1) Christiansburg 29.125, 2) Hidden Valley 24.778, 3) Abingdon 24.625


CLASS 2, REGION A:

1) Nottoway (25.429, 7-0, at Randolph-Henry, Thursday, 7pm, 4-4, Class 2)
2) King William (22.429, 6-1, at West Point, 5-2, Class 1)
3) Thomas Jefferson (22.286, 6-1, at Colonial Heights Monday 11/1, 2-6, Class 3)
4) Poquoson (20.714, 4-3, vs Lafayette, 6-1, Class 3)
5) Amelia (20.125, 6-2, at Prince Edward, 2-6, Class 2)
6T) Brunswick (19.5, 3-1, vs Sussex Central Thursday, 7pm, 4-1, Class 1)
       Greensville (19.5, 4-2, at Franklin, 2-5, Class 1)
8) Randolph-Henry (15.75, 4-4, vs Nottoway, Thursday, 7pm, 7-0, Class 2)
---
9) Bruton (14.875, 3-5, at Tabb, 3-5, Class 3)
10) Nandua (13.143, 2-5, at Northampton, 6-2, Class 1)
11) John Marshall (12.75, 0-4, season canceled)
12) Prince Edward (12.125, 2-6, vs Amelia, 6-2, Class 2)

BREAKDOWN: Nottoway, despite being three points ahead of surging King William, may win out and still finish second. The Cougars last two opponents have four combined wins, while the Cavaliers have 5-2 West Point, then unbeaten King and Queen Central. Thomas Jefferson's final two opponents have five combined wins, but they play a Class 3 opponent (two extra points) and a Class 5 opponent (six extra points). Poquoson can either draw closer to the Vikings by beating Lafayette Friday, or, with a loss, they are fighting Amelia County for a home game in the first round should the Raiders defeat Prince Edward. Prince Edward, meanwhile, must win out (Amelia, Randolph-Henry) and get some help, but Randolph-Henry can separate themselves from the three active teams behind them with an upset of the current top seed, Nottoway, on Friday.

7) Colonial Beach (14.667, 3-3, at Lancaster, 1-7, Class 1)
8) Middlesex (14.2, 3-2, at King & Queen Central, 7-0, Class 1)
---
9) Rappahannock (12.286, 3-4, at Northumberland, 5-0, Class 1)

BREAKDOWN: It's nine teams and eight spots with two weeks remaining. Rappahannock can shake things up, and rocket into the top eight, by handing Northumberland their first defeat. The biggest question looming in this region is whether the suspended game between the top two seeds from late September will be finished. A West Point win over 6-1 King William would be a giant leap toward hosting a first round playoff game.
