PhoenixHS's 6A Week 8 Top 10

[PhoenixHS]

1: Oscar Smith
2: South County
3: Robinson
4: Madison
5: Battlefield
6: Freedom (Woodbridge)
7: Lake Braddock
8: Dale
9: Fairfax
10: Manchester

Over the past two weeks, it's been hard for me to value the losses of some teams that were in the top 10, and some teams who haven't played a lot of good competition. Region C stands out to me as having the highest level of competition between teams, but both West Springfield and AC have taken some hits in the last two weeks, and while SoCo and Robinson have dominated pretty much every opponent, Lake Braddock and Fairfax haven't shown dominance over better-than-average teams.

I might put my in-depth breakdowns of each of these teams in a reply if I ever finish them.

Massaponax went back to Class 5 for the Fall season.. Western Branch @ 6-1. And even Manchester despite the loss to Midlothian & Highland Springs are probably better than Fairfax. JMHO..

To me the bottom 1/2 of these lists can be more difficult than the top.

I've taken off Massaponax from the list. You'd think that MaxPreps would have correct information and that I wouldn't have to check the VHSL chart every time I rank a team. Manchester was my #11, as both of their losses were to great teams, and both were a 7 point difference. Western Branch has played exactly 2 good teams, the 7pt win over Churchland and the 17-3 loss to King's Fork. I predict a shutout 40+ point win for Oscar Smith when they play each other.

I actually contacted Maxpreps about those teams.. I think fewer coaches have much interest in the sight.. I rarely see correct rosters or game stats for any team.

Smith vs Western Branch my not be a +40 margin. But only because that's a big #..
