#1 seed Princess Anne and #4 seed Kempsville will face each other for a 3rd time this season after both teams won Region semi-final games.
Princess Anne had no trouble dispatching First Colonial 73-45 behind 38 points from freshman Styles Clemmons. senior Will Bland had 12 of his 15 points in the 1st half when the Cavaliers jumped out to a 39-27 lead.
Clemmons put on a scoring clinic and is a bucket maker. He had two treys and three steals.
First Colonial pulled to within 13 in the 3rd quarter but could get no closer. Senior Romeo Steverson led the team with 15 points and eight rebounds while John Lane added 13 points and six rebounds.
The Cavaliers will face Kempsville in the Class 5 Region A semi-finals after a hard fought 67-59 win over Indian River. The game was back-and-forth thru the 1st three quarters and was still tied 42-42 with 1:35 to go in the 3rd quarter
Kempsville ended the 3rd quarter with the lead and built the lead to 10 midway thru the final period. Indian River made a late push led by senior Cameron McClean and reduced the lead to five with a minute to go. The Braves could not convert on a couple of trips and Kempsville held on for the win.
Junior Emmanuel Angila led Kempsville with 22 points including 11 in the 4th quarter. Landon Fore was 8 of 8 from the free throw line and finished with 16 points and five rebounds. Dimarion Collins (pictured below) had a big 4th quarter and finished with seven points, seven rebounds and two assists.

RVa Sports Network Basketball Next Year will look somewhat different!
THE FUTURE: VHSL Approves Region Alignment for 2023--2027
After weeks of proposals, objections, and meetings, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Executive Committee has officially approved the region alignment for its six classifications for the period from July, 2023 to June, 2027.Please note that the League does make some adjustments to the alignment at the midway point (the summer of 2025) to account for changes in school enrollments, the opening of new schools, consolidation of current schools, etc.
In this piece, we will discuss each region that has a Metro RVA team, how it has changed, and a little information on schools that will be new to our area once postseason play begins.
New teams will be both bold and italicized. All Metro RVA teams will be in bold only unless they have moved regions, then they will be both as well.
*************
CLASS 2, REGION A: (14 Teams)
Amelia, Arcadia, Bruton, Central-Lunenburg, Greensville County, John Marshall, King William, Nandua, Nottoway, Poquoson, Prince Edward, Randolph-Henry, Southampton, Windsor
ANALYSIS: Bluestone is gone, closed to consolidate in Mecklenburg County, while Brunswick moves down to Class 1, and the Vikings of Thomas Jefferson are replaced by Southampton, TJ from Class 2 to 3, and Southampton in the opposite direction. Central-Lunenburg enters via moving up from Class 1, Region B.

CLASS 1, REGION A: (13 Teams)
Charles City, Chincoteague, Colonial Beach, Essex, King & Queen Central, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, Northampton, Northumberland, Rappahannock, Westmoreland, West Point
ANALYSIS: The only change is a name, as Westmoreland replaces Washington & Lee as the county's high school name. That took effect this season.
CLASS 1, REGION B: (12 Teams)
Altavista, Appomattox Regional GS, Brunswick, Buffalo Gap, Carver College & Career Academy, Cumberland, Franklin, Galileo, Rappahannock County, Surry, Sussex, William Campbell
ANALYSIS: Minor changes here, with one major exception. Riverheads is heading to Class 2, Region B. Central-Lunenburg leaves, switching places with Brunswick, who comes down to Class 1.

CLASS 3, REGION A: (13 Teams)
Booker T. Washington, Colonial Heights, Grafton, Heritage (Newport News), Hopewell, I.C. Norcom, Lafayette, Lakeland, Lake Taylor, New Kent, Petersburg, Tabb, York
ANALYSIS: This region goes down from the current fourteen-team configuration. Leaving are Phoebus (Class 4), Southampton (Class 2) and Park View-South Hill, closed along with Bluestone to create the new Mecklenburg County High School. Eleven holdovers are joined by Grafton, a Bay Rivers District rival of New Kent, and Heritage, both moving down from Class 4.
CLASS 3, REGION B: (14 Teams)
Armstrong, Brentsville District, Culpeper, Fauquier, Goochland, Kettle Run, James Monroe, Maggie Walker GS, Manassas Park, Meridian, Skyline, Thomas Jefferson, Warren County, William Monroe
ANALYSIS: This region moves up from twelve to fourteen schools, led by Thomas Jefferson's move up from Class 2, Region A. Fauquier and Kettle Run each move down from Class 4. Armstrong and Goochland stay put. If Manassas Park resumes football in 2023, 13 teams will compete in that sport, all but Maggie Walker.

CLASS 4, REGION B: (17 Teams)
Atlee, Caroline, Chancellor, Courtland, Dinwiddie, Eastern View, George Wythe, Hanover, Henrico, Huguenot, King George, Mechanicsville, Monacan, Patrick Henry (Ashland), Powhatan, Spotsylvania, Varina
ANALYSIS: Interestingly enough, there is little change to the area's biggest region. Matoaca requested, and received, a move back up to Class 5, Region C. Caroline, who requested and received a move down from Region 4B to Class 3, Region B asked for that again, but this time were denied. The Cavaliers replace the Warriors, while the other sixteen teams remain the same including all four Hanover County schools.
