It looks to me that the 1A Boy's soccer heavyweights this year may very well be Riverheads v Galax (didn't these same two schools just face off for the football title...). Riverheads is 12-0 (I believe) could face two time defending state champ Galax in a few weeks.

While there are still some other strong contenders to defeat (look at my top 6 list), this is looking more and more where we are heading...

I would say that Riverheads seem to be the favorite indeed....but they were the favorite in football too...didn't work out so well.

who has the best shot to take down Riverheads in the East?
 
I think Riverheads has an easier way in than Galax. They struggle away from home, have a week off before tournament play, and will meet some decent squads (one in Radford they have already lost to)...I do believe these are the two best to face off, but it is hard to beat a good team three times, and to get that far that may just be what they will have to do.
Honestly it will be tough to see how Riverheads compares with some over East teams. They play a tough schedule...but no one in 2A who is fighting for a title. There could be an upset in there...don't see it, but who knows.

Like I said, the best 2 teams may not advance to states, as 45's winner (Radford or Auburn) will face 46's winner (Galax) in the Semi-finals of Region
 
I've havent seen any teams outside of augusta county & harrisonburg/rockingham, so i am not the best judge of soccer across the state, but I feel like RHS has a great shot at making it to the 'ship. They have a VT commit on this years squad, and have been playing at a high level all year. I am going to see them play again next week at "the draft"
