Week 11 is the final week of our regular season, so there has been a lot more clarity in everyone's playoff situation. The VISAA provides the possible playoff scenarios (updated).









DIVISION IV

Fuqua and Roanoke Catholic have clinched first-round home games in Week 12, but which will be #1 and which will be #2 depends on several games.



Fuqua clinches the #1 seed, locking Roanoke Catholic at #2 IF:

1a.) Fuqua DEFEATS Broadwater OR

1b.) Kenston Forest DEFEATS OR TIES Roanoke Catholic OR

1c.) Brunswick DEFEATS Massanutten Military OR

1d.) Fishburne Military DEFEATS Covenant OR

1e.) Hampton Roads DEFEATS Nansemond-Suffolk OR

1f.) Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot DEFEATS Trinity Episcopal OR

1g.) Chincoteague HS DEFEATS Greenbrier Christian OR

1h.) Bath County HS DEFEATS OR TIES Parry McCluer HS



If any of the above results happen, Fuqua will be out of Roanoke Catholic's reach, even if all the other results go Catholic's way.



Roanoke Catholic clinches the #1 seed, moving Fuqua to #2 IF:

1.) Roanoke Catholic DEFEATS Kenston Forest AND

2.) Broadwater DEFEATS OR TIES Fuqua AND

3.) Massanutten Military DEFEATS OR TIES Brunswick Academy AND

4.) Covenant DEFEATS OR TIES Fishburne Military AND

5.) Nansemond-Suffolk DEFEATS OR TIES Hampton Roads AND

6.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot AND

7.) Greenbrier Christian DEFEATS OR TIES Chincoteague HS AND

8.) Parry McCluer HS DEFEATS Bath County HS



In the scenario where all those results happen, Fuqua and Roanoke Catholic would finish tied with a rating of 7.60 and Roanoke Catholic would win the tie by having beaten Fuqua in Week 9.�� Catholic needs ALL of the above results to go their way for this scenario to hold.



Broadwater, Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot Isle of Wight, and Kenston Forest are still in the hunt for the other two spots.�� Here are the scenarios for Broadwater, BSH, Isle of Wight, and Kenston:



Broadwater clinches the #3 seed IF:

1.) Broadwater DEFEATS Fuqua AND

2.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot AND

3.) Massanutten Military DEFEATS OR TIES Brunswick



If Broadwater loses to or ties with Fuqua, they could still make the playoffs IF:

1.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot AND

2.) Norfolk Academy DEFEATS OR TIES Bishop Sullivan AND

3.) St. Anne's-Belfield DEFEATS OR TIES Blue Ridge AND

4.) Massanutten Military DEFEATS OR TIES Brunswick



Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot clinches the #3 seed IF:

1.) Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot DEFEATS Trinity Episcopal AND

2a.) Fuqua DEFEATS OR TIES Broadwater OR

2b.) Brunswick DEFEATS Massanutten Military OR

2c.) Bishop Sullivan DEFEATS Norfolk Academy OR

2d.) Blue Ridge DEFEATS St. Anne's-Belfield OR

2e.) Kenston Forest DEFEATS Roanoke Catholic



If BSH loses to or ties with Trinity, BSH could still clinch a spot in the playoffs IF:

1.) Blue Ridge DEFEATS St. Anne's-Belfield AND

2.) Bishop Sullivan DEFEATS Norfolk Academy



Isle of Wight clinches the #3 seed IF:

1.) Fuqua DEFEATS OR TIES Broadwater AND

2.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot AND

3.) Roanoke Catholic DEFEATS OR TIES Kenston Forest AND

4.) Norfolk Academy DEFEATS OR TIES Bishop Sullivan AND

5.) St. Anne's-Belfield DEFEATS OR TIES Blue Ridge



Isle of Wight can clinch the #4 seed IF:

1a.) Fuqua DEFEATS OR TIES Broadwater OR

1b.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot AND

2.) St. Anne's-Belfield DEFEATS OR TIES Blue Ridge AND

3.) Norfolk Academy DEFEATS OR TIES Bishop Sullivan AND

4.) Roanoke Catholic DEFEATS OR TIES Kenston Forest



Kenston Forest clinches the #3 seed IF:

1.) Kenston Forest DEFEATS Roanoke Catholic AND

2.) Fuqua DEFEATS OR TIES Broadwater AND

3.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot



Kenston Forest can clinch the #4 seed IF:

1.) Kenston Forest DEFEATS Roanoke Catholic AND

2a.) Fuqua DEFEATS OR TIES Broadwater OR

2b.) Trinity Episcopal DEFEATS OR TIES Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot



Despite being ranked 3rd going into the final week, Broadwater is in the weakest position of the top 3 contenders for the two remaining spots. If they lose to top-ranked Fuqua on the road this week, there is only one other game that could give them a point: Kenston Forest vs. 2nd-ranked Roanoke Catholic at Catholic.



In summary, Isle of Wight cannot finish behind Broadwater unless Broadwater beats Fuqua, Kenston cannot get into the playoffs without beating Roanoke Catholic, and a bad week for everybody means a good week for Isle of Wight and Broadwater.



Gaining nothing (and this is a possible outcome), Broadwater would finish at 4.11, Isle of Wight at 4.11, BSH at 4.10, and Kenston Forest at 2.89. If IWA and Broadwater were tied at 4.11, Isle of Wight would win the tie by having beaten Broadwater in Week 7. They would be the #3 seed, Broadwater would be #4, and BSH would be left out.

Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

Wow that completely made my projections null and void

Not sure how IWA can jump that high
2 pts from ASC (8wins)
8 pts PC
9 pts KF (6 + 3 wins)
7 Brunswick (6 + 1 win)
11 Broadwater (6 + 5 wins)

37 points 4.11 (includes ASC bonus)

Broadwater
8 pts Creswell (6 pts + 2 wins)
9 pts KF (6pts + 3 wins)
8 pts PC
7 pts Northampton (6pts + 1 win)
7 pts Brunswick (6pts + 1 win)

39 points 4.88 (before Fuqua game)
===do public schools not count like a Division opponent?

Am I missing something
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

Broadwater didn't get a +1 point from Brunswick. No opponent win points for forfeit games.

Also, on Maxpreps it looks like both of Creswell's wins were against the same team (Mattamuskeet). Only the first win counts in that situation. Creswell's opponent this week (Columbia) is also a team they have already played, so even if they win that game, Broadwater won't get a point for that.

I think that accounts for the difference.
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

There is possibly an updated scenario. Apparently BSH was awarded 5pts for its loss to Fuqua in the rankings. From what I am hearing this is the new breakdown

Broadwater #3 seed with a win
BSH #4 seed with a win

IWA #3 seed with a loss by both BA and BSH
Broadwater #4 seed with a loss and BSH loss ALSO losses by Bishop Sullivan, Blue Ridge and Brunswick Academy
BSH #4 seed with a loss AND one "win" point from Blue Ridge or bonus point from Bishop Sullivan

If all mentioned teams lose Broadwater, BSH, BSC, Brunswick Academy and Blue Ridge

IWA finishes with a rating of 4.11
Broadwater finishes with a rating of 4.11
Blessed Sacrament finishes with a rating of 4.10

This is according to an email that was sent out.. Will can you verify this? Did I hit all the points?
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios


I updated the D4 playoff scenario's in the original post as corrected by the VISAA.
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

Will Broadwater get bonus points from Chincoteague High School? If so, they will have at least 1 point, 2 if Chincoteague wins this week (8-1)
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios


Nope. Va public schools are considered like playing a school in your division. D3 school gets 8 pts for beating Chincoteague and a D2 school would get 10 points for beating Chincoteague, etc. No bonus points given if you lose to Chincoteague and they get 7,8,9, or 10 wins. Plus I believe a couple of Chincoteague's wins came against home school teams which do not count towards VISAA standings.
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

Broadwater will not get the points and even if it were possible Chinco does have wins over home schools which would leave them with 5 wins. The big thing that hurt Broadwater is the forfeit by Brunswick Academy. Originally Broadwater and Brunswick were suppose to play in August but got reschedule because of injuries on Brunswick (Broadwater had to cancel its game on 10/25 because Brunswick is a conference opponent) and then Brunswick forfeited the make-up game thus costing Broadwater two games.
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios


Haven't looked at or crunched the numbers, but Broadwater should have the option of counting that game and taking the 6 points for a forfeit or not using that game at all in the standings. Not sure if it would benefit you guys in the playoff race or not by not counting the game. Good luck this weekend with Fuqua.
 
Re: VISAA Releases D4 Playoff Scenarios

They did have that option. Not taking the 6 points would have hurt Broadwater and they still couldn't get points from Brunswick possibly beating Massanutten.

Also public schools can provide bonus points if they are larger. But yes, a few of Chincoteague's wins don't count, and their enrollment is so low (148 boys AND girls in the last VHSL census) that they are actually the size of a D-IV private school, so I don't think anyone can get bonus points from them.
