Have we seen enough to rank top 5 in 4A?

I admit I haven't seen the Tidewater and Richmond area teams. Maybe some of you can rank the top 5 midway through the season.
Some teams to consider , no particular order.
Dinwiddie, Varina, ECGlass, Salem, King George, ????

 

[757FridayNiteZ]

Below is the current power rankings from VHSL. I would say they seem pretty accurate for how teams should be right now. KF lost to Smith but also beat Western Branch to give them their only loss thus far. KF has the defense and balanced offense to challenge other Class 4 teams in the playoffs. Hampton may be back at some level. They played Phoebus to a 14-7 loss. Warhill is undefeated but their District is pretty soft. IF they finish their season undefeated with wins vs York & Lafayette, they could be ready to make a deep playoff run.

Churchland and Deep Creek have the talent to upset the top teams in the playoffs but I am not sure they would ready for your above listed teams.

So, without Lake Taylor, there is no team that is ready to dominate & be the perennial State Title contender BUT I think the 757 will still be represented well in November. IF King's Fork can find a way to channel their aggressiveness in a way that limits the personal fouls, they would be my pick. I watched them shut down some top area athletes in that Western Branch game They have a kicking game that can give their aggressive defense a big advantage. It's going to take a special team to make long scoring drives against them!
