FOOTBALL: VHSL RELEASES FIRST REGIONAL RANKINGS​


Here is the first set of Virginia High School League (VHSL) regional football rankings, released on Monday. Keep in mind that this season will be much different than any other, as likely more teams than not will not play a full ten-game season, games lost on some teams' schedules due to COVID-19 or other issues with their opponent could affect strength of schedule in ways that are out of their control.
A reminder that the top eight schools make the postseason. Numbers will be released weekly by the League office, concluding with the official playoff brackets on Sunday, November 7th. Records are those posted by the league based on games officially recognized.

CLASS 1, REGION A:
1) Essex (3-0, 21.333)
2) West Point (3-0, 20.667)
3) Northumberland (4-0, 19.0)

8) Middlesex (2-2, 12.75)
---
9) Rappahannock (2-3, 11.2)
10) Lancaster (1-5, 8.833)

VHSL FOOTBALL REGION RANKINGS: WEEK 10​

Two weeks to go, lots of games in flux, many teams looking at a nine or even eight-game season rather than ten, and much more. It's a Virginia High School League (VHSL) football playoff race unlike any other. Twenty-six teams are currently in, and plenty more still in the fight for the postseason. Here's the latest regional standings with a deep dive into what's ahead over the next twelve days.....

NOTE: The top eight teams make the postseason in each region.

CLASS 1, REGION A:

1) Essex (21.5, 4-0, vs Washington & Lee, 3-3, Class 1)
2) King & Queen Central (19.429, 7-0, vs Middlesex, 3-2, Class 1)
3) Northampton (18.5, 6-2, vs Nandua, 2-5, Class 2)
4) Northumberland (18.4, 5-0, vs Rappahannock, 3-4, Class 1)
5) West Point (18.143, 5-2, vs King William, 6-1, Class 2)
6) Washington & Lee (16.667, 3-3, at Essex, 4-0, Class 1)
7) Colonial Beach (14.667, 3-3, at Lancaster, 1-7, Class 1)
8) Middlesex (14.2, 3-2, at King & Queen Central, 7-0, Class 1)
---
9) Rappahannock (12.286, 3-4, at Northumberland, 5-0, Class 1)

BREAKDOWN: It's nine teams and eight spots with two weeks remaining. Rappahannock can shake things up, and rocket into the top eight, by handing Northumberland their first defeat. The biggest question looming in this region is whether the suspended game between the top two seeds from late September will be finished. A West Point win over 6-1 King William would be a giant leap toward hosting a first round playoff game.

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 1B: 1) Riverheads 26.0, 2) Central-Lunenburg 19.857, 3) Buffalo Gap 18.625
REGION 1C: 1) Galax 21.143, 2) Giles 20.714, 3) Parry McCluer 18.125
REGION 1D: 1) Holston 22.25, 2) Twin Springs 20.667, 3) Chilhowie 19.75

I don't think there's enough juice left in NU's schedule compared to some of the others to pickup enough points. If anything Northampton might leapfrog to the top. They play two beatable 2A schools to finish the season and that might be enough to get past KQ and Essex if things went there way....WP has 3 games left and 2 of those are 2A schools so they presumably could get into the top 4 depending on the outcomes, but then again W&L has 3 games and if they win out they might get as high as 3/4 . If I had to bet $$ today I would say that it shakes out like this....
1-Essex
2-Northampton
3-King & Queen
4-Northumberland
5-West Point
6-Washington & Lee
7-Colonial Beach
8-Rappahannock* I don't think Middlesex is eligible.

Regardless of seeding, I would like to see WP play Northampton in the 1st round. I don't think they can beat us when we are healthy and that game sticks in my crawl a little.
 

FOOTBALL: VHSL Region Standings: Week 11 Presented By Luck Chevrolet


We've made it to the final week of the regular season in high school football, a season filled with twists and turns, and we're sure more to come. Let's take a deep dive into the latest standings, find out who's in, who needs to win this week and more, all presented by our friends at Luck Chevrolet in Ashland! Remember, the top eight teams in each region reach the playoffs, and teams who have clinched postseason berths are noted with an asterisk (*). Also of note, when we get to State Semifinal Saturday on December 4th, Region A and Region B champions will face each other, while Region C and D champions will square off.


CLASS 1, REGION A
:

1) King & Queen Central* (20.5, 8-0, vs King William, 7-1)
2) Essex* (19.2, 4-1, vs Rappahannock, 4-4)
3) Northampton* (19.111, 7-2, vs Arcadia, 0-8)
4) Washington & Lee* (18.714, 4-3, vs Colonial Beach, 5-3)
5) West Point* (18.5, 5-3, vs Nandua, 2-6)
6) Colonial Beach* (17.0, 5-3, vs Washington & Lee, 4-3)
7) Northumberland (15.571, 5-2, vs Lancaster, 1-8)
8) Rappahannock (14.5, 4-4, vs Essex, 4-1)
--
9) Middlesex (14.0, 3-3, vs Mathews, 0-8)

BREAKDOWN: The Royals take the top seed with a win over archrival King William, who has been on a roll lately, especially offensively. A Cavalier win opens the door for Essex, despite only playing six games. If Rappahannock beats the Trojans, Northampton can slide up to #2, but will need Nandua, Cumberland, Bruton, Washington & Lee, and Portsmouth Christian all to win in order to tie King & Queen Central for first. Washington & Lee needs to win, get losses above them, and have Lancaster and Brunswick win to suddenly fight for the top. Yes, four teams are mathematically alive for the top seed this week. That's how topsy turvy this region has been thanks to several things, including COVID, and the horrible shooting incident that marred, and suspended, the King & Queen/Essex showdown September 24th. This region looks much different if that game finishes. Instead, it's a no contest. Middlesex must win, and get at least an Essex win over Rappahannock, and maybe a Lancaster upset of Northumberland, to crack the top eight.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 1B: 1) Riverheads 27.778, 2) Buffalo Gap 20.889, 3) Central-Lunenburg 19.125
Region 1C: 1) Galax 22.75, 2) Giles 21.714, 3) Parry McCluer 18.778
Region 1D: 1) Holston 23.556, 2) Twin Springs 21.875, 3) Patrick Henry-Glade Spring 20.0
