Region 4B VHSL Standings - Week 8
- Thread starter CRF4Dan
- Start date
I’m sure their schedule is already set. If you don’t have it set by now you’re very late.
EV had Albemarle on the basketball schedule last year too but I don’t think it was ever played. There used to be some classics between Culpeper and Albemarle in basketball in the early 2000’s, so much so Culpeper had to use the middle school gym to accommodate the fans. I don’t see why EV doesn’t schedule Albemarle in football. Or even Riverbend/Massaponax. The stafford schools outside of Stafford and Mountain View won’t play EV because they are 4A.
Like I said in an earlier post I think 1-4 seeds will be the same as last year with different outcomes this year. Monacan over Louisa and EV over Dinwiddie. Will be exciting to say the least but whatever team comes out of 4B will have respect just as Louisa did last year.
@LancerDad my fault I wasn't giving the bump for playing the lower class teams.
Also the VHSL official website has James River Midlo in the wrong district.

One more thought on scheduling. Louisa and EV do need more 5/6 teams (especially EV being they have 0 in their district). However it takes two to tango. 5/6 teams tend to be in higher densely populated areas. They don't have to travel far to fill out their schedule.
Go to the notification tab and click on the envelope and go from there. I think you gotta be a paying subscriber to do so
its the 5/6A teams that have to be convinced to play them. I don’t think it’s EV or Louisa I think it’s the bigger schools not willing to play down. I am hearing Louisa does have a power team on the schedule the next two years
Oh...I'm not a payer. Someone started one with me in the past though. If you can do it, start one with me.
We do have Albemarle and Orange on our schedule which are 5A schools. We have added another Higher class school and another powerful class 4 school for the next 2 years.
King George added Orange to their schedule as well, wanting a 5a school, but they are dropping to 4a next year.
no they wont someone is just being uninformed it they think this is true.
EV’s program is built on strength and conditioning. They’ll be just fine with being in shape.
I don’t think it’s physical conditioning. Part of playing close games is the mental and emotional conditioning it takes to handle the pressure of end game situations. Having the experience of playing in and winning close games can’t be overlooked. To me that is the value in playing good teams and a tougher schedule. You don’t have to play in those games every week but you need a few tests before playoff time. Unfortunately for EV, much of their district has taken a step back so out of district games are the only real chance for these tests. I think Louisa could have the same problem this year as the Jefferson District is way down this year and Courtland was terrible in game 1.
I don’t think anyone made excuses last year after Dinwiddie beat EV on a last second field goal.

From my understanding, Madison wanted to schedule C’ville in all sports but C’ville couldn’t make it work. They have played in basketball in the past and scrimmaged in baseball last year. Seems MC likes to try to schedule teams who can play in all sports.
Makes sense...whatever the case wish we could play them more! We're, what, 25 miles apart?
I do to. Easy travel. I would much rather travel to C’ville than to Woodstock or Falls Church or even Nelson Co. I think it would be even more difficult next year because if the additions to the Bull Run. Does not sound like there will be many opportunities for OOD play. Would not do C’ville any good in football right now while MC is rebuilding but MC is usually decent in the other sports.
