The opening night of regionals on Friday offered a few surprises, including a No. 12 seed in Lakeland knocking off No. 5 seed New Kent in Region 3A. There was also a buzzer-beater in the form of Santino Moore's to propel Highland Springs past Cosby in the Region 6A Tournament, advancing them to the semifinals against top-seeded Oscar Smith.
Rustburg, James Monroe and Spotswood - all from the Class 3 level - hit for 90-plus points in their regional playoff openers. Dominant wins were turned in by several teams, most notably a few that are not No. 1 seeds with Landstown in Class 6, Jefferson Forest in Class 4 and Western Albemarle in Class 3.
It's a short slate for this Saturday in February with just a couple of regions in action, but the quadruple-header at Norview in 5B features some of the most talented squads in the state. It includes reigning Class 5 State Champ Woodside, other recent state title winners in the likes of King's Fork and Maury, plus a Head Coach with over 500 wins in Ed Young of Nansemond River facing a Norview school he once coached at in the early 1990's.
Meanwhile, Occoquan Region 6C is no joke either, where reigning two-time Class 6 State Champ Hayfield resides after winning the National District Tournament Championship over Edison the night before. In action on this day will be South County, who has won a couple of state titles under Mike Robinson, and W.T. Woodson, another program that is not far removed from a State Championship under Doug Craig, who achieved career win No. 300 earlier in the week.
