Hi Everyone. I recently found this forum. I graduated from Hermitage in 1970 and currently live in Charlotte, NC. We only have 4 classifications. I was interested to see how a couple of our better teams would fare against Div 5 schools in the Richmond area. I went by the points ratings for the region and picked three Charlotte teams (probably our top 3) and ran a simulation against the teams in Region 5B in Div 5. The teams I picked from charlotte are Mallard Creek (our top team), Butler (our second top team) and Harding (one of our top 3 or 4 teams). I used USA Today Score Predictor, except for games against Highland Springs, which for some reason didn't work. So for them, I used Calpreps.

The resuts are below:

Harding - 12-3

Atlee 41-12
Matoaca 41-13
Glen Allen 48-14
Mills Godwin 36-6
Meadowbrook 36-12
Prince George 41-7
J.R. Tucker 44-14
Douglas Freeman - 35-14
Deep Run 42-14
Varina 28-21
Lee-Davis 36-28
Henrico 28-20
L.C. Bird 27-28
Highland Springs 21-24
Hermitage 18-34

Butler - 13-2
Atlee 41-7
Matoaca 38-7
Glen Allen 42-7
Mills Godwin 35-0
Meadowbrook 35-7
Prince George 42-7
J.R. Tucker 42-7
Douglas Freeman 35-7
Deep Run 42-10
Varina 34-20
Lee-Davis 35-21
Henrico 34-19
L.C. Bird 28-21
Highland Springs 17-26
Hermitage 18-28

Mallard Creek - 15-0

Good stuff. I follow NC football as well and there’s no way Bird beats Harding lol.. I think even Herm and Springs struggles to stop Quavaris Crouch. Creek would beat any team in VA (Oscar Smith, Stone Bridge, Springs, Herm,etc.). I personally think that NC football is a lot better than Virginia. So many good teams..Scotland County, Charlotte Catholic, Mallard Creek, Wake Forest, Shelby, Page, West Forsyth.. VA ball is top heavy.
 
That's interesting. Though we have some good ball in NC, we often feel ball is overall better in Virginia. NC ball is very top heavy, especially in 4A this season. This year the NCHSAA did some major realignment. 4A is terribly watered down. The best competition from top to bottom is in 3A. The good ball is spread out here. Page will struggle in the playoffs against Charlotte schools. Wake Forest is very good and looking for a repeat state title. Shelby runs 2A down here. West Forsyth is a good team but will struggle in the west region here against some teams in Charlotte as well. Northern Virginia usually has some power teams. Vance had a couple of good years against GW-Danville. I wish more teams from Virginia would play teams from NC. But I understand the expense of it all as well.

I was disappointed that GW Danville didn’t schedule a Richmond County, Reidsville, Page or Dudley on their schedule. I grew up on NC football. Back when Reidsville and Burlington Cummings were the Oscar Smith and Mallard Creek of high school football. I miss living in Danville cause the best NC games were 30 minutes to 2 hours away. You’re absolutely correct. 3a in NC is ridiculous! Western Alamance, Eastern Alamance, Havelock, Dudley, Catholic.. I haven’t looked at the rankings in the past week or so but maybe things have changed. I’d put the last couple of Shelby teams up against VA’s best and the Lions would prob win!
 
It's interesting you grew up on NC ball and now are in Richmond. I was born and raised in Richmond, grew up on Richmond and Virginia football and now live in NC.

Yes sir it is! I’m way more familiar with NC football but I’ve come to learn a lot about VA. Come on over to the 4a board with us sometime. We have a lot of fun! Who’s the best team/player you’ve seen this year? I watched big K.J. Henry from West Forsyth over Christmas break play basketball. Kid is a freak of nature. Reminds me of Clowney. Also seen a kid from 1a Mount Airy play. (Donovan Greene) who is gonna be the real deal at the next level at wide receiver. Prob a 40+ inch vertical and he’s 6’3. Think he has offers from Duke, UNC and Wake and he’s just a junior. Kid is also an all state basketball player. A lot of talent in NC!!

Yes, there's a lot of talent in NC but the problem is keeping them home. For example Bryce Love from Wake Forest is now doing very well at Stanford.
