So there are a lot of changes coming between now and next season given the classification and alignment changes that will take effect next school year.

Region 2A will only return 6 of the 8 playoff teams with Thomas Jefferson and Brunswick out of the picture.

• Central Lunenburg who was the Region 1B champion comes to Region 2A to make some noise.
• Southampton who was made the playoffs in Region 3A but made it no further than the first round joins this group.

Region 2B will return 7 of the 8 playoff teams in Buckingham, Central Woodstock, Clarke, Luray, Madison, Strasburg & Stuarts Draft.

• Riverheads who has won 7 straight state titles in Class 1 will be looking to carry that success to this region and Class 2.

Region 2C will return 7 of the 8 playoff teams in Appomattox, Dan River, Floyd, Glenvar, Gretna, Martinsville and Radford.

• Can Chatham, James River (Buchanan), Liberty (Bedford), Nelson or Patrick Henry step up?

Region 2D will return all 8 playoff participants from 2022 in Central Wise, Gate City, Graham, Lee, Ridgeview, Tazewell, Union and Virginia.

• Lebanon who moves up from Region 1D will look to breakup this playoff party. If they do... who misses out?

Can Riverheads make it 8 straight state titles or will Graham or Central Woodstock stand in their way?

Boys basketball final in the Bill Lawson Jr Classic

I got an update Franklin was up 28-10 after the first quarter. Then 41- 23 at halftime. At the end of the third quarter Northampton was up 55-44. What happened Franklin only scored 3 points in the third quarter? The last update I received Franklin won 70-68. What a turn of events. Good win

Red Devils looking real good right now!!! Let’s go!!!!!

I know it has been announced. I know Dinwiddie swept OPOY, DPOY, & COY. (as they deserved to be) I just wanted to congratulate the 4 Salem players that were on 1st or 2nd team. The full list will probably be posted on vhsl.org in the next couple days.

Apparently they grow them bigger in Fishersville these days because the Green Hornets brought a couple of very tall teams over to Greenville tonight and Riverheads did not have the size to match up with either one of them. As a result the happy Hornet fans went home with two victories, winning the Varsity contest 67-55.

The game was essentially decided in the first quarter. Wilson took immediate control, using not only its size advantage but its quickness. After a 2-2 tie, the Hornets scored the next 7 points and never looked back. The score was 20-6 after the first quarter and for most of the second quarter the margin was 20 or more.

Riverheads had hit a school-record 15 triples just last night in a win over Mountain View but in the first half of tonight's game, Wilson was doing a good job defending the three by cutting off the passing lanes. As a result the Gladiators only managed to hit two triples in the first half and they went to the locker room trailing the visitors 38-18.

I told my seat mate that all I asked of the Big Red was for them to come back and play the second half with some pride and they did exactly that. They opened the third quarter on an 8-2 run that cut the lead down to 40-26 and you could tell that they were getting into the flow of the game.

The lead however was too much for RHS to overcome and Wilson was hitting just enough of its shots to hold the lead at a comfortable level. The Gladiators did manage to cut it to 11 midway through the fourth quarter and had the ball with a chance to trim it to single digits but 55-44 was as close as they got. Helping the Big Red's 37-point second half was a much better three point performance as they finished the game with eight, just a shade off their season average.

Again the Big Red showed some nice balance as those eight triples came from five different players, with Bennett Dunlap leading the way with four of them. The other four came from Jackson Brammer, Will Gardner, Carter Mooneyham, and Aden Slack. The latter was probably the feel-good moment of the night for Riverheads as Slack's motor runs constantly during the game and he is one of the Gladiators' top defensive specialists. So far this season he has mainly been a garbageman around the bucket but he likes to try the three whenever he can and tonight he hit one for his personal highlight reel.

Also worthy of special mention tonight was Gabe Milo, who was the second leading scorer for RHS with 10. Like Slack, he is also a constant energy source for the Gladiators and usually earns his points the hard way inside. Tonight he also drew the assignment of trying to stop Finn Irving, the best player in the district, and although Irving led all scorers with 19, you could tell that Milo was making him work for everything he got.

So although a fourth straight win for the Gladiators would have been nice, the size and depth differential were just too much tonight as the Hornets are most likely the favorites to win the district. But the Gladiators are to be commended for coming back and playing hard until the final whistle. Their next game will be at suddenly-dangerous Waynesboro Tuesday night.

As already mentioned, Wilson also won the JV game tonight. That one was the exact opposite of the varsity game in that Riverheads was still in it at the break, trailing by only 6 points. But they went stone cold in the second half, allowing Wilson to pull away to a 51-24 win. Just like the Varsity, Wilson has some scary size on that JV team, so Coach Hartman just might be on the verge of a dynasty over there.

I'll add scores as I get them.

Lancaster 63 Colonial Beach 24
Twin Springs 52 JI Burton 36
Narrows 67 Covington 64
Middlesex 66 Nandua 58
Altavista 84 Chatham 57
Franklin 69 Greensville 50
Wilson Memorial 67 Riverheads 55
Eastside 71 Castlewood 41
Staunton 53 Buffalo Gap 40
Lebanon 86 Rural Retreat 42
Westmoreland 57 Rappahannock 43
George Wythe 91 Fort Chiswell 62
Carver Academy 76 King William 59
Bland 64 Giles 53
Auburn 74 Galax 41

Playing without 4 of their 5 starters, the Hawks still had enough firepower to down the Tigers and remain undefeated.
