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 5, REGION C:

1) Midlothian (5-0, 28.0)
2) Highland Springs (4-2, 26.667)
3) Douglas Freeman (6-1, 25.429)
4) Hermitage (3-2, 23.4)
5) Glen Allen (2-3, 21.6)
6) Mills Godwin (2-4, 21.0)
7) J.R. Tucker (3-2, 20.2)
8T) L.C. Bird (1-3, 20.0)
Clover Hill (2-4, 20.0)
---
10) Prince George (1-4, 19.0)
11) Meadowbrook (0-3, 15.667)
12) Deep Run (0-7, 15.429)

THE BREAKDOWN: Strength. Of. Schedule. We believed Highland Springs would greatly benefit from it, and they do. With two games this week (at Henrico Tuesday, at Hanover Friday), a loss by Midlothian to Manchester may be enough to place them back where they are used to being, on top. The Douglas Freeman/Hermitage game Friday looms large, obviously, with the winner getting an inside track on solidifying a top three seed. Glen Allen's last-minute game scheduled at Fauquier puts them against a two-win team out of Class 4, which would yield more points with a win than over the winless Class 2 John Marshall team they were set to face before the Justices ended their season. Clover Hill could jump in the standings if they were able to win at home over Powhatan Friday, while a Prince George home win over Matoaca would vault the Royals right back into contention.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 5A: 1) Green Run 30.0, 2) Kempsville 27.6, 3) Bayside 25.167

Region 5B: 1) Maury 26.0, 2) Woodside 25.0, 3) Norview 22.5

Region 5D: 1) Stone Bridge 31.429, 2) Mountain View 28.0, 3) PH-Roanoke 26.833

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 5, REGION C:

1) Midlothian (29.143, 7-0, vs Powhatan, 5-3, Class 4)
2) Highland Springs (28.75, 6-2, at Atlee, 5-3, Class 4)
3) Hermitage (27.429, 5-2, game vs John Marshall canceled)
4) Douglas Freeman (25.778, 7-2, Bye)
5) L.C. Bird (25.0, 3-3, vs Huguenot, 1-5, Class 4)
6) Glen Allen (23.0, 3-4, vs Deep Run, 0-8, Class 5)
7) Mills Godwin (21.875, 3-5, at J.R. Tucker, 3-4, Class 5)
8) Prince George (20.286, 1-6, at Petersburg, 3-4, Class 3)
---
9) J.R. Tucker (20.143, 3-4, vs Mills Godwin, 3-5, Class 5)
10) Clover Hill (20.125, 2-6, at Monacan, 4-4, Class 4)

BREAKDOWN: The lead for Midlothian over Highland Springs shrinks, and, this week, they both play Class 4 teams with identical records. If both win, games involving their opponents could determine who's on top in the final week. The third and fourth seeds will be on the sideline this week, Hermitage after losing their opponent, John Marshall, and Douglas Freeman with a scheduled bye. When the Mavericks host Glen Allen November 5th, it will be their first game in 21 days. The Jaguars missed a golden opportunity to fight Douglas Freeman for the #4 seed due to their overtime loss to Lake Taylor, as L.C. Bird takes advantage with an upset over Powhatan. The Skyhawks don't play Friday, but play twice in Week 11, hosting Huguenot next Monday, then going to Clover Hill. The bad news there is both teams currently have a combined three wins. Strength of schedule finally rewards Prince George with the #8 seed, as did J.R. Tucker being in COVID protocol. The Royals finish with a trip to Petersburg, then a home game with Hopewell. Clover Hill goes to Monacan, then finishes hosting the Skyhawks. It's amazing that less than two-tenths of a point separate the teams in eighth through tenth. Mills Godwin isn't a sure thing, either. With those three teams looming, a head to head win over J.R. Tucker this week would likely eliminate one contender, and a home win over Thomas Jefferson November 5th would seal a postseason bid.

ELSEWHERE:

REGION 5A: 1) Green Run 31.5, 2) Kempsville 31.0, 3) Salem-VB 26.714
REGION 5B: 1) Maury 28.0, 2) Woodside 26.286, 3) Norview 24.143
REGION 5D: 1) Stone Bridge 34.0, 2) Mountain View 30.0, 3) Massaponax 28.0

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 5, REGION C:

1) Highland Springs* (30.556, 7-2, vs Varina, 7-1)
2) Midlothian* (28.75, 7-1, vs James River, 5-4)
3) Hermitage* (27.667, 7-2, vs Deep Run, 0-9)
4) Douglas Freeman* (26.667, 7-2, vs Glen Allen, 4-4)
5) L.C. Bird* (26.143, 4-3, vs Clover Hill, 2-7)
6) Glen Allen* (24.125, 4-4, vs Douglas Freeman, 7-2)
7) Prince George (22.125, 2-6, vs Hopewell, 4-3)
8) Mills Godwin (22.0, 3-6, vs Thomas Jefferson, 6-2)
--
9) J.R. Tucker (21.75, 4-4, game canceled)
10) Clover Hill (20.222, 2-7, vs L.C. Bird, 4-3)

BREAKDOWN: Highland Springs and Midlothian will be the top two seeds here. The question is, in what order. Both have big rivals, with the Highland Springs/Varina showdown set for 2:30 Saturday, and Midlothian heading to face James River in the Coal Bowl. Hermitage is hampered in its quest to climb higher by facing a winless opponent in Week 11 (Deep Run), while they'll need a Patrick Henry win over Mechanicsville in the Tomato Bowl and a Hanover win over Atlee to help make sure Douglas Freeman doesn't catch them for third place should the Mavericks defeat Glen Allen. The Jaguars look to move up, but an L.C. Bird win over Clover Hill could nix that. If the Jaguars and Skyhawks win, it's possible each move up and Glen Allen would travel to L.C. Bird in the quarterfinal round next week. The fun begins at #7, where three teams battle for two slots. Because J.R. Tucker's game with John Marshall was canceled, and the Tigers were unable to find a new opponent, they must sit and watch their future unfold. If Prince George and Mills Godwin both win, they are in, and the Tigers watch another would-be playoff bid go by the boards. Clover Hill is mathematically alive, but they need, for example, I.C. Norcom to beat Lake Taylor. Possible, but unlikely.

ELSEWHERE:

Region 5A: 1) Green Run 32.444, 2) Kempsville 31.286, 3) Salem-VB 28.375
Region 5B: 1) Maury 30.0, 2) Woodside 26.875, 3) Norview 24.875
Region 5D: 1) Stone Bridge 35.111, 2) Mountain View 31.111, 3) Massaponax 29.
