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 2, REGION A:
1) Nottoway (25.428, 7-0, at Randolph-Henry, 4-4, Class 2)
2) King William (22.429, 6-1, at West Point, 5-2, Class 1)
3) Thomas Jefferson (22.286, 6-1, at Colonial Heights Monday 11/1, 2-6, Class 3)
4) Poquoson (20.571, 4-3, vs Lafayette, 6-1, Class 3)
5) Amelia (20.125, 6-2, at Prince Edward, 2-6, Class 2)
6) Greensville (19.167, 4-2, at Franklin, 2-5, Class 1)
7) Brunswick (19.0, 3-1, vs Sussex Central, 4-1, Class 1)
8) Randolph-Henry (15.75, 4-4, vs Nottoway, 7-0, Class 2)

9) Bruton (14.875, 3-5, at Tabb, 3-5, Class 3)
10) Nandua (13.143, 2-5, at Northampton, 6-2, Class 1)
11) John Marshall (12.75, 0-4, season canceled)
12) Prince Edward (12.125, 2-6, vs Amelia, 6-2, Class 2)
BREAKDOWN: Nottoway, despite being three points ahead of surging King William, may win out and still finish second. The Cougars last two opponents have four combined wins, while the Cavaliers have 5-2 West Point, then unbeaten King and Queen Central. Thomas Jefferson's final two opponents have five combined wins, but they play a Class 3 opponent (two extra points) and a Class 5 opponent (six extra points). Poquoson can either draw closer to the Vikings by beating Lafayette Friday, or, with a loss, they are fighting Amelia County for a home game in the first round should the Raiders defeat Prince Edward. Prince Edward, meanwhile, must win out (Amelia, Randolph-Henry) and get some help, but Randolph-Henry can separate themselves from the three active teams behind them with an upset of the current top seed, Nottoway, on Friday.
