Class 1 Top 10 Offense And Defense

[kwhs95fan]

I saw someone do this on the Class 4 board, so I figured I'd do it for Class 1. Obviously some teams play harder schedules than others, so that part obviously doesn't show, but I thought it'd be fun to look at.

Scoring Defense:

1. Essex- 7.8
2. King and Queen- 9.0
3. West Point-10.2
4. Lunenburg- 10.3
5. Rappahannock- 11.3
6. Grayson- 12.5
7. Narrows- 14.4
8. Riverheads- 16.4
9. Rye Cove- 17.3
10. Buffalo Gap- 17.5


Offense PPG

1. Lunenburg- 49.6
2. King and Queen- 47.5

Riverheads defense is 13.6 and I can assure you they are good.

I think I had 16.4, because I only had them playing 5 games thus far instead of 6. No doubt they are good though. Their defense has always been great and many times it goes unnoticed because of the strength of their offense

Actually I think they have only played 5 games, because the Westmoreland game was canceled

Rappahannock has only given up 68pts (11.333/gm) thru 6 games. Gave up 33 1st game & only 35 since

Central Lunenberg is 7-0. Combined opponents record is 12-35. 12 wins and 35 losses. None of the 7 schools have a winning record.

Not that I want to knock my Big Red Machine down a notch, but my math has their scoring offense at 37.8, not 39.8. They have scored 189 points in five games. Just want to be accurate since you went to all this trouble.

As for your defense, your original calculation of 16.4 is correct as they have given up 82 points in those 5 games. Not sure where BG got his numbers.....

I think I divided 199 by 5 instead of 189. I guess when I did it my eyes were a little weak. Lol. Thanks buddy.

These stats are always interesting. For those that point out about strength of opponent, the ratings system eventually works that out for seeding in the playoffs. The reality is that good defensive teams are going to be the last teams standing period. If for 48 minutes you hold 6 opponents to under 13-14, you have a shot if your O is complimentary and can score 23+. Several teams check those boxes so the playoffs this year should be wild.

Of course if you accomplish these stats eating cupcakes alive during the regular season you will end up running into a team in the playoffs that can not only match but out produce on both sides. I find it amazing every year the teams that get overlooked because they don’t have flashy numbers but have played some dang good football against quality opponents. I do appreciate the stats being provided so I am not dumping on that at all. Just countering some logic I see on here from time to time. All good discussions though

Agree. We seen that a little bit with Nottoway last year. A good team last year, but nowhere near as good as their reg season record suggested.

Grayson county hasn't played a team with a winning record either and I don't think they will before week 9 or 10.

Sometimes, it goes the other way around. Teams are much better on offense, defense, or just a better overall team than what record may show due to playing a tough schedule or injuries. Galax and George Wythe come to mind this yr

This discussion about who plays what kind of strength of schedule reminds me somewhat of the JMU situation. As a graduate, I am thrilled that they are doing so well but I am not yet convinced that they are a national Top 25 team. If you were to compare scores.......they beat App St. on the road, which beat Texas A & M on the road, which came within a whisker of beating Alabama on the road. So does that mean that JMU could go into Tuscaloosa and throw a scare into the Tide or maybe even beat them? I am not so sure.............

Grayson opponents are 6-30 so far. 20 percent

Their win over Rural Retreat still stands out to me though. RR was looked at as a potential contender in Region D and they only lost to George Wythe by 2. We'll be able to tell a lot more about Grayson in the next 4 weeks as they have Giles, Fort Chiswell, GW and Galax to close out the regular season

Agree, Galax is not in the top 10 on either side of the ball but come late Nov early Dec I guarantee they will be in the mix. Dont put much stock in those top analogies because of the disparity of competition.

Agreed. I just did it to get discussion going and it did that
