I would agree with this sentiment.Lebanon bears Appomattox this year and Union beats Radford, IMO.

Man, that took some work! I do think VHSL should go back to cross bracket playoffs. It eliminates so many rematches of regular season games.I'd take that challenge. I’ll take Region B’s 8 playoff teams against Region Ds 8 and feel pretty confident in having a better outcome. Even limited to each Regions top 4-5, I like Region Bs chances. But that is shear speculation and I am a Region B homer .
Now that I think about it, how much fun would it be if the playoffs matched 1-8 from Regions instead of the current set up? Find out which region has the better team in each seeded spot, then let the "winners' of each seeded spot play in quarters and so forth...
Something like this:
First round (just hypothetical winners to fill the bracket so calm down —
R-A #8 JM v. R-B #8 Madison Co.

Just doing this for fun. I can hear some getting all worked over the #1's playing in the first and second round against each other, but they have to play eventually anyway. And who's to say that one Regions #1 is equal to other(s)? Honestly, I'd still put Clarke County up against most any other team left in the playoffs.
This type of format would make those 1st and 2nd round games much more competitive...especially avoiding some of the absolute blowouts in most 1 v. 8 matchups in current round 1. Then we would know (kind of) which region was stronger top to bottom. And it avoids rematches until the last 2 rounds at the earliest...if at all.
It was just hypothetical picks to fill in a hypothetical bracket in a hypothetical suggestion since I am hypothetically "working" in the office this morning! I should have just used "Region A B C D" without a team name assoicated.I would agree with this sentiment.
Nothing beats that hypothetically “working” 😂 Those are the best kind of jobs 😂!It was just hypothetical picks to fill in a hypothetical bracket in a hypothetical suggestion since I am hypothetically "working" in the office this morning! I should have just used "Region A B C D" without a team name assoicated.
Graham has the mentality, next man up! If he’s out, the GMen will rally & do what they need to do and hopefully come away with the win! You never know when a new star might shine! Today could be that day! 🤞Hearing Floyd may be out today. If so monumental loss for Graham.
Not lately for sure… but through 1999, the region was always in the conversation, if not the finals. But the Wheel Seems to Have Turned… for now🤞Region Bs top 8 over any region i would take without question, but there top 4 over over Region Ds top 4 would be 50-50 I think. One thing going against B is history. Just doesn't win state titles in Class 2. That may change this year, but history suggests Region B and Class 2 state titles for whatever reason doesn't mix.
I agreeNot lately for sure… but through 1999, the region was always in the conversation, if not the finals. But the Wheel Seems to Have Turned… for now🤞
That is actually not as big of a deal as Williamson being out. Graham has several that can fill his roleHearing Floyd may be out today. If so monumental loss for Graham.
Who is the third?Graham actually has 3 out today, from what I hear, but they have adequate subs to take their place. Something they didn't have in 2021
Well in your suggestion, u have C vs D. I believe union would beat Radford and Ridgeview would beat Gretna. C was the weakest overall region i think. The one im not sure about is Graham vs Glenvar. We shall see today. I just don't think Region D had a top tier team. I hope im proved wrong todayI'd take that challenge. I’ll take Region B’s 8 playoff teams against Region Ds 8 and feel pretty confident in having a better outcome. Even limited to each Regions top 4-5, I like Region Bs chances. But that is shear speculation and I am a Region B homer .

I would just like to see them do it like they used to before changing it. Where u cross bracket in the semis i think it wasI'd take that challenge.

Brody Sharpe. Jeremiah Quick will be starting in his spot.Who is the third?
Wata going on here with this game. Neither team looks hyped or energized. Look very sluggish.Any radio for any of the Region D games? I have Poquoson up on YouTube.

They usually do. No idea why they aren’t bI thought graham played press? Theyve been 5 yds off the receivers. Glenvar just scored. DB didn't play the ball. Not looking good for gmen stopping glenvar
Graham needs to adjust the defense at halftime.21-21 currently right before halftime.
Graham throws an INT on a ball that was a little high but catchable.
We’ll see if my theory of Coach Palmer abandoning his QB and going wildcat after a mistake holds true.
Yeah, not sure I would abandon the pass totally.. Those bubble screens and quick hitters are working well.21-21 currently right before halftime.

Final. Graham went back to the run game with Lilly and it paid off.Still 28-24?
