Here are the 4B point ratings from the VHSL page - top 8 and next 2 (9 and 10).
King George 31.55556
Varina 30.00000
Hugenot 27.75000
Dinwiddie 26.77778
Eastern View 26.55556
Powhatan 25.88889
Courtland 25.44444
Hanover 25.11111

Patrick Henry (Ash) 22.11111
Atlee 21.44444
Is there any chance of the order changing after the games this week?
Hugenot has only played 8 games (everyone else has played 9). Will they play 10 or just 9? That's why they have fewer points than Dinwiddie and Eastern View but a better point rating - they points are divided by 8 not 9 like the others. This is why they divide by the number of points. The point ratings are the VHSL's way of taking into account strength of schedule and you can't really do that if you just look at the number of points since there are several reasons why a team may not play 10 games.
If Courtland beats Eastern View, which is a possibility in my opinion, would that impact anything? Courtland has only lost 2 games - one to King George (and it was close and they led some of the game). I forget who the other loss was to - maybe Louisa? They have the ability to control the ball and limit the offensive possessions. They did that against King George. They had the ball first and held it for over 10 minutes and scored a TD. KGs first possession of the game started with about 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the first quarter. That gives them a chance.
Have a good one!
