I am going with Louisa. Lions will surprise the cyclones and roll. Will Patrick is the best coach in the JD and region. He is building a dynasty. Louisa wins 42-28. Too much Louisa offense.
On a side note watch out for the Western Albemarle Warriors. They may make a run in the playoffs.
Im not sure who wins this game as both are sound football teams. Neither teams defense gives up much, so you would think it would be a scoring game?????
In my opinion EV will not be able to run on Louisas front 7; however, that does not mean they cant move the ball. The Cyclone line must pick up the Lions blitzes and force Louisa to defend short quick hitting pass plays. Louisas secondary is quick and improved. As good Lowry is they must use screens, dumps to the backs and slants thrown back to where the blitz is coming from to keep the Lions out of full attack mode. The Lions aggressiveness and pursuit can be used against them. EV just has to figure out how.
Offensively, Louisa is more versatile and unpredictable this year. Hunter has been super man all season. EV can slow down Louisa's run game with their size, but the linebackers must make tackles. The key to beating Louisa remains the same though a bit more difficult. Put them in third and long situations. EV's secondary has not been tested all year and how the respond may be the key in this game. This game is a nail biter. Weather just may determine the winner.
Louisa guys should know better, but I think Pope is more of an inside linebacker and Smith more outside. Both excellent.Is this years Louisa defense better than the Generals defense that EV's Lowery faced last season? I was there and he held his own without much of a running game and with Pope being all over the place on defense. Just from what I seen on some film of EV, Lowery looks better and Improved. Who is the best Qb the Lions faced this year?
Also is Louisa Qb that good that he will have a field day on EV secondary? I figure the Lions to try to run more than throw against EV.
Is this game going to be streamed? Would like to see it
I have EV in a blowout.
Doesn’t really matter, but EV beat Orange by 35Common Opponents:
Eastern View beat Orange County 49-14 (+25)
Louisa beat Orange County 36-12 (+24)
Eastern View beat Courtland 42-14 (+28)
Louisa beat Courtland 35-0 (+35)
Eastern View beat Chancellor 42-7 (+35)
Louisa beat Chancellor 45-20 (+25)
Eastern View beat King George 55-6 (+39)
Louisa beat King George 42-12 (+30)
As you can see, the margins of victory are pretty close, though Eastern View holds the edge.
The VHSL reference gives Louisa a 54% chance of victory, mostly because the game is in Mineral.
Calpreps gives a score of 34-27 Eastern View on a neutral field.
This all shows the making of a great game. I'd say Louisa's SOS is better, they had Western Albemarle and Fluvanna on their slate while the best team Eastern View has played thus far is Courtland (although Midlothian was good too).
That all being said, I'll stick with my JD ties and go with
Louisa 28 Eastern View 21
Good luck to both teams.
Good stats but what it doesn’t show is Louisa playing these teams close for a while where EV blew them out and had backups in with running clock.Common Opponents:

I agree, we felt we were in the Louisa game until the 3rd quarter. EV had us beat half way through the 1st quarter and called the dogs off quickly. They could have put 100 on us. They are just on different levels. Again, it is all about matchups, it will be interesting to see how they matchup. It could be a good game, or an easy win for EV.Good stats but what it doesn’t show is Louisa playing these teams close for a while where EV blew them out and had backups in with running clock.
By the way they handled midlothian, a team that beat the number 2 seed monocan.A blowout? Not being argumentative and if that’s what you feel I respect it... just curious why are you so confident this will be a one sided affair? Louisa not that good? EV just head and shoulders above the rest of class 4? Louisa is 11-0 and has won most games with balance and in dominating fashion. Why do you think it will be a blowout?
That means nothing. It’s all about matchups when it comes to the playoffs. Even though I believe Eastern View can beat Louisa funnier things have happened. Look what happened at Dinwiddie last year when EV went up 19-3 or something similar and lost on a last second field goal. Eastern View has to be focused and eliminate unnecessary penalties before people on here talk about beating Louisa. EV is their own worst enemy.By the way they handled midlothian, a team that beat the number 2 seed monocan.

I will take this one...up front (on both sides of the ball) EV is much better than Louisa. Their defense overall is better than Louisa's. Louisa has the better running back, EV has the better QB. They both have good LBs, but nothing compares to Brandon... although #7 for EV is a beast. EV has an outstanding secondary. I don't think it will be a blowout, but think EV wins comfortably...2-3 score difference. If I had to guess EV will jump out to a 2-3 score lead early and then withstand whatever Louisa throws at them after that. Louisa will struggle to run or throw while I think EV will be able to consistently move the ball and score points.A blowout?

EV probably would have been ball control against us...but had 5 TD drives of 2 or less plays! They're explosive and physical...damn scary. Can't wait to see what happens. I hope it's a good game and will be rooting for a fellow Battlefielder. If it turns out to be lopsided it will be more about EV's defense not Brandon. Good luck to both teams!I can respect that. Never seen EV myself but I do believe Louisa is a good squad. Just hard to imagine that a team with Brandon Smith would get blown out. Glad you agree that won't happen. A close game is what I expect, I still lean towards Louisa bc I like ball control teams in close games.

Isn’t majority of Louisa’s line and defense different from last year?
Has absolutely nothing to do with louisa game and i mean no disrespect towards louisa. I really have no dog in this fight. I live in colorado but have family in Virginia so keep an eye on what happens in high school football as i went to high school there. My dad is from culpeper and my mom from louisa. So i do have interest in the game. I just feel that with the ease that ev handled midlothian who beat monocan that this game wont really be close. Just my opinion.Yes a mighty accomplishment.. Crown EV now! What does that have to do with the Louisa game? Bc Midlo beat Monacan and you beat Midlo... means EV will blow out Louisa? We shall soon see.
Disregard I got an answer I was looking for. You can delete your post with your number. Thanks
