MaxPreps is about as reliable as a politician or a snake oil salesman. Wait, that was rude of me. I must apologize to the snake oil salesman.
Final score was Dinwiddie 26, Hopewell 14.

If Dinwiddie can find a path into the 4b playoff race they are a major threat. Still have to beat a tough TD team though as a final hurdle.
Dinwiddie will beat Dale. I’m big mad that Patrick Henry can play that weenie hut junior schedule and make the playoffs. A 5-1 Dinwiddie team definitely deserves a spot more than a 6-0 PH team that’s played nobody.
Generals looked good tonight from what I saw (about mid-2ndQ on)... Kelmari Brown is a major threat on the outside at receiver that'll be hard for any secondary to handle. Trey McBride makes a lot of plays, too.
Definitely looks like a dangerous team if they can get in that crowded Region 4B field. Argument can be made that the 5th place team who is left out of that region could certainly win some other regions around the state.

Here is my calculations of 4B after last night's games. If Dinwiddie can knock off TD they will still need some help I believe to jump Louisa and/or PH based both should win out and leave Dinwiddie in 5th.
1 | King George | 26.50000 |
2 | Monacan | 26.50000 |
3 | Henry, Patrick - A | 25.50000 |
4 | Louisa | 24.50000 |
5 | Powhatan | 22.75000 |
6 | Dinwiddie | 22.25000 |
7 | Eastern View | 21.50000 |
8 | Hanover | 21.00000 |
9 | Chancellor | 19.80000 |
10 | Spotsy | 17.75000 |
11 | Courtland | 17.60000 |
12 | Orange | 15.75000 |
13 | Mechanicsville | 13.25000 |
14 | Caroline | 12.50000 |

If they win out Dinwiddie will not be able to pass them no matter who they beat.
They need Powhatan to beat Monacan and then for Powhatan to lose to Midlothian the following week. That is the only path I see right now. Even then, I don't know if they would outpoint a one loss Monacan or not. If Powhatan wins out, would they outpoint Dinwiddie if Dinwiddie wins out? Would be close. If PHA losses to Hanover they might have a shot also. Can you imagine Varina will be in this field next year my god!
Matt what is the deal with Warrick? Can they make any noise in class 4 A? Are the Suffolk schools participating in the playoffs etc?
Suffolk schools are not participating in the playoffs.
Warwick can make some noise - yes. They have a key game on Saturday with Menchville at Todd Stadium in Newport News at Noon (should be streamed and archived on the NN Telecom YouTube page).
Like the Warwick makeup, especially on defense with JMU signee Messiah Russell in the secondary, plus experienced tacklers in the front seven with Aidan Adair at LB and Marlen Wilson on the edge. Good running back who's just a sophomore, too, in the small, yet elusive Bryce Buchanan. Kysaun Jones has been a factor in the return game and at receiver.
Their passing game is a bit hit or miss, and more than anything, they have to eliminate the penalties. They were flagged a whopping 27 - yes, 27! - times in their season-opening win over Woodside.
So while Lake Taylor is the definite favorite in 4A and Churchland is a program on the rise (probably built better for a deep playoff run in the Fall), don't sleep on Warwick. They are a legit darkhorse that could get out of the region if they play a mistake-free game because the athleticism difference with them and whoever they see in the playoffs is not enough to where they can't win in my opinion. Plus, those guys played Lake Taylor pretty close - only lost 21-14 in the regional semis in 2019 - so the confidence level should be there.
From my quick math and guessing on games since I don't really know these teams.
If Both Powhatan and Dinwiddie win out, Powhatan def outpoints Dinwiddie
If Powhatan beats Monacan and loses to Midlo, Monacan outpoints Dinwiddie by 2 and 10 over Powhatan.
If any of King George, Patrick Henry, or Louisa loses, if Dinwiddie wins out they are in.
I only did the 4 undefeated teams and Dinwiddie and Powhatan, so don't know about others. But it appears that Monacan is in with 1 more win, Dinwiddie needs one of the other 3 to lose (unless Powhatan wins out, then would need 2 of them). What hurts Dinwiddie a bit is TD only having 5 games (from what I saw).
Thanks @Gunz41. Yeah, it isn't exactly fair but what is these days? The universe needs to be on your side and sometimes it just isn't. If Dinwiddie doesn't end up making it they will likely be the favorites in B in the fall depending on what Varina looks like. Monacan returns a lot but is losing the starting QB and 3 college level receivers. We have youngins waiting in the wings but they are unproven on the varsity level. Gotta imagine EV will be stronger next year and likely Louisa also. However, Louisa is moving to region D which will be interesting.
Just because it makes it more interesting on here, I hope the guys who regularly posts team make it, and from the sounds of it Dinwiddie should be in (maybe not by points)
