I thought Chincoteague was playing 8 man football?

 

[NNDman]

Yes.they are not eligible although their schedule is included in the vhsl master schedule.

CLASS 1, REGION A:

1) Essex 22.571
2) Lancaster 17.5
3) Northumberland 17.429
4) West Point 17.286
5) Westmoreland 14.667
6) Rappahannock 14.333
7) Northampton 13.286
8) Colonial Beach 12.0
--------------------------------------------
9) King & Queen Central 10.333
10) Chincoteague 10.0
11) Middlesex 9.143
12) Charles City 8.429

ANALYSIS: Essex is rolling, and is likely the number one seed with one more win, with #8 Colonial Beach, #2 Lancaster and #5 Westmoreland ahead of them. West Point has King William and Charles City left after a bye week this Friday. King & Queen Central's schedule remaining is weak (Charles City, Middlesex, but then King William). Can the Tigers sweep and get some help to get into the top eight?

OTHER CLASS 1 REGIONS:

REGION 1B: 1) Brunswick 21.0; 2) Sussex Central 20.143; 3) Altavista 18.571; 4) Franklin 16.286
REGION 1C: 1) Grayson Co. 23.429; 2) Bath Co. 19.714; 3) Narrows 19.286; 4) Galax 17.857
REGION 1D: 1) Honaker 23.714; 2) Rye Cove 19.286; 3) Twin Springs 18.143; 4) Patrick Henry-Glad Spring 17.571

FOOTBALL: VHSL REGION RANKINGS, PLAYOFF PROJECTION FRIDAY PREVIEW​

Take a deep breath! And away we go! Who's in, who's out, what's left to be done, and more in our deepest dive of the season into the Virginia High School League (VHSL) football region rankings!

(X--clinched playoff berth)
(Z--clinched #1 seed in region)


CLASS 1, REGION A:

1) Z-Essex 24.444 (9-0, vs. Westmoreland (2-7) Friday)
2) X-Northumberland 18.667 (7-2, vs. Rappahannock (5-3) Friday)
3) X- West Point 17.889 (6-3, at Charles City (0-8) Friday)
4) X-Rappahannock 17.125 (5-3, at Northumberland (7-2) Friday)
5) X-Lancaster 17.0 (5-4, vs. Colonial Beach (2-6) Friday)
6) X-Northampton 16.778 (5-4, vs. Nandua (4-5) Friday)
7) Westmoreland 14.111 (2-7, at Essex (9-0) Friday)
8) Colonial Beach 13.125 (2-6, at Lancaster (5-4) Friday)
---
9) King & Queen Central 12.444 (3-6, vs. King William (4-5) Thursday)

ANALYSIS: Essex has steamrolled to the top seed and looks to keep their momentum going into postseason play against Westmoreland, who are rooting for King William to end King & Queen Central's hopes for the postseason on Thursday. With wins from King William and Essex, Colonial Beach, with a win over Lancaster, could overtake Westmoreland for seventh place. If, however, Westmoreland pulls off the shocker, they could vault from #7 to into the 4-5 seed conversation. The Northumberland/Rappahannock result will shake out the #2, #3, #4 situation, especially with West Point facing a winless Charles City. But here, the road to State Semifinal Saturday definitely runs through, again, Essex.

OTHER CLASS 1 REGIONS:

REGION 1B: 1) Sussex Central 23.444, 2) Altavista 21.222, 3) Brunswick 20.889, 4) William Campbell 16.333
REGION 1C: 1) Grayson County 22.0, 2) Bath County 20.889, 3) George Wythe-W 20.444, 4) Narrows 20.333
REGION 1D: 1) Honaker 24.889, 2) Rye Cove 20.556, 3) Twin Springs 19.556, 4) Patrick Henry-Glade Spring 19.111
