Bull Run opening weekend

CC/Central- CC has a lot of things in their favor except the home field. Central still hasn't shown the line play that we have come to expect but with another week of experience and their familiarity with CC it should be close. I would still take CC by 11 if pushed because I am not sold that CW has found their bell cow to run power like they were accustomed to.

Strasburg/Page- no disrespect intended to Page but easily a running clock and a name your score for the Rams

Stonewall/Hancock- no clue but if @ONEFAN1 says Stonewall I will roll with it.

Rapp/Christchurch- Christchurch based on absolutely nothing of consequence

First. No system is perfect and I understand fully your example that will undoubtedly happen. I believe the positives will outweigh the negatives by putting the student athletes in a more competitive environment. As of now you have schools losing by 50+ points week in/week out year over year. Isn't putting [for example] RSA [AKA George Wythe] up against a school with 'equal ' talent a better situation for both schools? I'd argue it would help build a program as I'm sure some don't play because of the current competitive imbalance.

Shenandoah District Teams Facing Biggest Weekend of the Season

Fort Defiance had an exceptional night that night, not just a good one, and according to my sources, Riverheads just made one fundamental strategic decision that they may correct if they get a second shot at the Indians. Meanwhile, they have fared better against other passing teams (Tazewell and Wilson). So if Staunton has the passing attack that Fort has, you may be right. But if they only have an average one, Riverheads may be able to frustrate them and win, especially if they (The Gladiators) get off to a good start and gain some traction with their running game.

What I LOVE is the privates are going to get all kinds of points for country club sports and the football teams are going to get CRUSHED.
Yes, if you're an average to below average sport at a school with a strong enough athletics program to get promoted, you're going to get hammered even worse.

Also, particularly for smaller schools, if you have an unusually outstanding group of athletes in one or two classes in a row, then the more average athletes in the following classes will be put at a big disadvantage.

Shenandoah District Teams Facing Biggest Weekend of the Season

I have chime back in to say that Staunton is absolutely capable of beating Riverheads. They have found a good flow with their offense and the defense is playing exceptionally well. I am a homer and would not bet against the Gladiators but I would not be surprised at all if the Storm win this game. And to be clear it wouldn't be a huge upset. The Riverheads team that beat Central in the first game this year is not the one you will see on Friday, but neither is the Storm team that lost to Madison. I look for a race to 21 and frankly it may be a race to 14 if I am being completely honest.
