Holston (13-0) won the fourth regional title in program history and will host either Galax or Parry McCluer next weekend in the VHSL Class 1 state semifinals.
It was the second straight Region 1D crown for the Cavaliers, but this one was a little more gratifying.
Back in April when football was played in the spring in the Commonwealth, a positive COVID-19 test within the J.I. Burton program the day before the regional finals left the Raiders unable to play the Cavaliers for the crown and Holston advanced to the state semifinals in anticlimactic fashion.
