Does anyone know which two teams will be the home teams this year? I don’t think it’s by power points. I think it flip flops?

I think Phoebus was home team last yearDoes anyone know which two teams will be the home teams this year? I don’t think it’s by power points. I think it flip flops?
But they were Class 3 last yearI think Phoebus was home team last year
Wouldn’t matter, Salem fans travel!! We had more people at the Tusky game than Tusky had!! That was 3hrs for us.That’s a good question. No clue how it works. When we played LCA at 13-1 we were the away team and when we played Heritage at 14-0 we were the home team. I’d assume since we have better record we’d be home but at the end of the day for the 3rd year in a row off location alone it won’t matter what side of field we are on Salem will be the home team. I expect there to be way more Salem fans there because they are an hour away Vs 3+ for Phoebus.
You may be right, but something is floating around in my head that they flip flop who will be home each year.Doesn't it come down to points? I would think that Phoebus would be the home team against Salem and Liberty Christian would be home against Lafayette? Honestly, I have no clue.
That's why not having a clear, streamlined process from the VHSL sometimes makes things confusing.
That’s exactly how it should be with a winning program in a small town. Isn’t it a one high school town? Who is Salem’s rival? I believe the high school i stayed near was called Hidden Valley when i was in town for a Mt Union Vs Whitewater d3 title games a couple years. This was back in 2005-2008 when my boy’s nephew played for Mt Union. But i want to say Hidden Valley was brand new back then.Wouldn’t matter, Salem fans travel!!

Everybody in our area hates Salem!! Lol’nThat’s exactly how it should be with a winning program in a small town. Isn’t it a one high school town? Who is Salem’s rival?

It doesn’t matter about the record, it rotates each yearThat’s a good question. No clue how it works.

No! That was temporary while LU was renovatingAmherst has hosted the food for these state games for many years
no! That was temporary while LU was renovating
Good Lord no.Move the C3 AND C4 back to Williamsburg.
They will not let me. lol. It’s very secure and besides you will have to have a certain color badge to even get in.You may be right, but something is floating around in my head that they flip flop who will be home each year.
Yes sir Kilroy, it will have zero affect on attendance. LOL, and it especially doesn’t matter to me since I don’t have a dog in the fight. I hope Salem is home though for Mike. It is a little easier for him, if he can stay on the home side.
Mike, I guess you will set up shop at your usual place?
And Wikki, I don’t have a pass to the hospitality suite this year, but I have a plan that I think will get me past the gatekeeper. Especially if it’s the same folks that guarded the elevators last year. If my plan fails, I’ll be depending on you to bring me a bite to eat down in the temporary holding cell!😩
LOL, I’ll bet you a bowl of Taco soup that I get in!!!They will not let me. lol. It’s very secure and besides you will have to have a certain color badge to even get in.
In the past they did it by power points. This is Salem's fifth appearance since 2014 and they have been visitors for all of the previous trips with one going all the way to Lake Taylor.That’s a good question. No clue how it works. When we played LCA at 13-1 we were the away team and when we played Heritage at 14-0 we were the home team.

Hidden Valley opened in 2002. They split from Cave SpringThat’s exactly how it should be with a winning program in a small town. Isn’t it a one high school town? Who is Salem’s rival?

Maybe, but not so fast. It is not specifically addressed in the Handbook.You are correct @SFUWO. Power points decides the home team.
And don’t trust anything on Maxpreps.After looking at MaxPreps playoff brackets. They put the home team on top. They have Phoebus in the top position
I usually don't. VHSL doesn't list the bracket on their website anymore. I'm only assuming that they are giving the results and info to MaxPrepsAnd don’t trust anything on Maxpreps.
If Phoebus wears gold. Salem should be able to wear MaroonMaybe, but not so fast. It is not specifically addressed in the Handbook.
I think it validates the points system but not the format of the playoffs overall. Essentially Lafayette was the 8th best team in Class 3 and Salem was the 8th best team in Class 4. Would those teams have made it to the championship game if we had a true state tournament without regions? I know it doesn't matter at this point but it's still interesting to think about.An interesting fact. With one exception, the team with the highest rating in each class is in the championship game.
The one exception is C2. Central was .4 ahead of Radford. To me, this validates the points system.
1 is #1 and #2
2 is #2 and #4
3 is #1 and #8
4 is #1 and #10
5 is #1 and #6
6 is #1 and #3
The facility was ok for that one game but nothing like LUGood Lord no.
W & M spent $millions and it’s still not a very good venue. Beautiful, no question about that, but not nearly as functional as LU. And, I’ll add, the people that LU employs for the games are far superior to anywhere I’ve ever been. Scott Stadium included.
I’m not making that this year. We have a new menu plannedLOL, I’ll bet you a bowl of Taco soup that I get in!!!
I hope you do, but you will to have a specific color badge to get in our suite to eat. We are given strict guidelines every year. Certain people have different color badges, they are now allowed in our suite. They have different areas to eat and so does the media. Like I said I hope I get to see you. I enjoy our conversationsThe facility was ok for that one game but nothing like LU

The point system has some flaws. The first one is playing a good team from lower classifications. A C4 team could play an 8-2 C1 team. The C4 team should win this game but would get points as if they beat an 8-2 C4 team because they would get 6 bonus points for playing down.I think it validates the points system but not the format of the playoffs overall. Essentially Lafayette was the 8th best team in Class 3 and Salem was the 10th best team in Class 4. Would those teams have made it to the championship game if we had a true state tournament without regions? I know it doesn't matter at this point but it's still interesting to think about.

I should be there too Wikki, maybe I'll get to see you for a minute. I know you'll be busy though.I hope you do, but you will to have a specific color badge to get in our suite to eat.

I would rather have a 32 team bracket without regions (2014) and play the bracket with either AvB CvD mixed by a ranking system or power points.I think it validates the points system but not the format of the playoffs overall.

Oh that would be great. I hope I get to see you bothI should be there too Wikki, maybe I'll get to see you for a minute. I know you'll be busy though.
Hope so too. Those light gold jerseys are hard to see the difference between teams.If Phoebus wears gold. Salem should be able to wear Maroon

On the field there's probably no issues. Watching the Jamestown game on the Bermuda grass was hard to follow at timesI don’t know how
I always like when Amherst wears their maroon as well.I hope Salem wears the all Maroon uniform. Classic
