Heritage was soundly beaten by Woodgrove 49-7. They won't get a bye and will probably not fare well in the playoffs.
John Champe beat an average Dominion (4-4) team 21-14. Was that just an anomaly or are they weaker than their record would indicate? They beat Woodgrove 20-17 in OT in game 1 so that was a big statement win. This school is so new it's hard to tell how good they are. Other than Woodgrove their schedule hasn't been difficult, especially when compared to last year's Woodgrove schedule for example. Both are Loudoun Co schools, this year the 4A's didn't play the bigger LC schools like in the past. Woodgrove played Tuscarora, Briar Woods, & Broad Run last year which explains why they did so well against Salem in the playoffs- schedule toughened them up. Champe hasn't faced that so we'll see.
They will probably be a Top 4 seed as long as they win out. I expect they'll be undefeated because Heritage looks to be the only potential pothole. Considering how bad Woodgrove beat Heritage, I don't expect Champe to have much trouble with them.
