Lancaster 64 Arcadia 62 Final/ 4 OT

This wasn't a crazy, wild offensive game despite what the score may indicate. There were lots of turnovers that gave both teams short fields to work with. Lancaster had a couple of nice, long drives. The difference in the game going into overtime was the fact Lancaster scored two defensive touchdowns. Lancaster outscored Arcadia 30-28 in the 4 overtimes.

Final Graham 27, Va High 14

Ugly win for Graham who held VH to under 100 yds of total offense. VH scored on a 90yd kickoff return which was fumbled by the kid who returned it, and it bounced directly into the hands of the VA High kicker who ran it for a touchdown. VHs other touchdown was from a short field set up by a blocked punt. Graham had 3 turnovers and multiple penalties. Tripled VA High in total offense, but was losing 14-13 at the end of the 3rd qtr.
They shouldn't have this many penalties at this point in the season. Graham looked very sloppy and undisciplined.

What is your prediction for the top 8 teams in 4D at the end of the regular season?

Shruikan, are you a Sherando fan? When I used to live in Winchester last year I went to Arrowhead to see a game. Gotta say, the horse planting the spear gave me some FSU vibes. I could tell they love football in Stephens City
Yup. Graduated quite a few years ago now. While I don't think the atmosphere in Arrowhead is quite what it once was, the town has never stopped rallying around Sherando.

What is your prediction for the top 8 teams in 4D at the end of the regular season?

1. Sherando
2. G.W. Danville
3. Salem
4. Handley
5. Amherst
6. Orange County
7. Mecklenburg
8. Jefferson Forest

Just a guess. Not ranked on how good I think each team is, just how I think the points could play out.

Sherando should get the #1 seed if we win out, but Handley and Kettle Run both have excellent teams this year so that's far from a given. Kettle Run especially—I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the 3A state championship game, and Handley gave them everything they could handle. Handley will almost certainly finish no worse than 8-2, and even if they lose to Sherando they'll get plenty of points by virtue of their only other loss being to Kettle Run, who will finish 10-0 or 9-1.

Sherando and Kettle Run should both be 7-0 when the Cougars visit Arrowhead. That's going to be an unmissable game.

I think E.C. Glass is a top 8 team but they have a rough schedule ahead of them. If they can beat one of Heritage, LCA, or Jefferson Forest, I think they make it. Millbrook is an enigma. They're the sort of team that could beat Sherando, Handley, or Kettle Run, or lose by 40 to each of them. Losing to Skyline really hurt their chances given how many teams will end up with two or three losses. I don't think James Wood is a top 8 team but they could steal a spot if they finish 7-3 given who the losses would likely be to.

Salem and G.W. Danville could swap places. I don't expect either of them to lose another game but the points could be close.

The ACC was just looking for anything to try and cover their screw up. You don't know what you're talking about on a variety of levels.

First, the call on the field by the officials was a TD catch. Once that was made the replay role is to look for INDISPUTABLE evidence to overturn. Of the 9 ESPN cameras shown some appeared to show a catch, some appeared to show the ball popping loose and a Miami player out of bounds touching and some provided no real view. The ones showing a Miami player touching are later in the play after the seeming catch which would make your point of incomplete irrelevant, much akin to a runner losing possession AFTER the ball breaks the plane. That is still a touchdown as possession of the ball after breaking the plane ends the play. The only real question is INDISPUTABLE and the different angles and conclusions coupled with the significant length of time clearly points to dispute. Had the ruling on the field been incomplete it should not have been overturned either. It was was an erroneously handled process misinterpreted in the context of the designed rules but, it did give the conference their favored outcome. If you still want to question INDISPUTABLE you can look at the diverging opinions of experienced officiating professionals. While there is disagreement as to the actual play result their is little disagreement as to the inappropriateness of the overturn, all deferring to the time honored practice of deferring to the on field officials.
When he came down there wasn’t possession the ball was pinned to his body not in his hands lol. The ball moved then he secured it but by that time a Miami player out of bounds touched it. Now move on to the next game.

What is your prediction for the top 8 teams in 4D at the end of the regular season?

Do they do the North/South division in football? If so that really mixes things up. Sherando and Handley should be 1 and 2 up north, guessing Salem will end up with 2, possibly 1 with power points from strong losses. Danville seems to be the other one primed to get the 1 or 2 seed in the south. From there, Amherst, Forest, Glass all are gonna be fighting to get in.

If they just do 1-8 regardless of division then it definitely looks different. Home filed in the region championship will be huge.
I am planning on going to the Handley/Sherando game in week 10 when I go up to Winchester to visit some friends. I’ll get a good luck at both of those teams. Salem could play either one of them or both in the playoffs. That game should be a barn burner. It’s at Handley so it will be played on a Saturday. I used to live in Winchester. I lived about a mile from Handley. Great place to watch a football game. Beautiful high school campus. If you get a chance to see a game there, do it. It’s an experience
