Sounds like you believe Prince George will get past Thomas Dale and Midlothian past Manchester & Powhatan?

I do... Midlo vs Manchester is the big question mark though. I do not believe there is a large degree of separation between Midlo, Powhatan, Manchester, TD or PG. They could go either way. Offensively, I think Manchester is the best team. Defensively, I'll take Midlo or PG. I really like Midlo's middle linebacker. Dale is the one I don't know a ton about. Unfortunate that the dale and hopewell game got cancelled. That would have been a great measuring stick. Powhatan is a scrappy team that can majorly frustrate a larger opponent so they could easily upset someone in the remaining games.

I'm planning on going o TD-PG this Friday night so I hope to learn more from both this week.

Deep Run is playing for their life this week.

I can see PG over Dale but Midlo over Manchester would be an “upset” IMO. Has Midlo ever beaten Manchester in the past 15 years?

Covid hurt!! if these 4 teams finished undefeated those first round games are most likely blow outs just to see HS vs Herm in regional which will be good! Covid hurt teams like Varina who improved since week 1, DR and Manchester who still are good matchups, who played a tougher schedule than PG n Midlo. Even Glen Allen who will finish 4-2 and had herm 0-0 in the fourth and up 9-7 at half vs HS. Sucks to see covid effort the playoffs like this but glaf to see it back and will make next season even more interesting as things will look to be much normal

Virginia High School League have finished the Mid-Cycle Adjustment. Locally Manchester has move up to Class 6 and four local Class 5 schools have moved down to Class 4 (Henrico, Varina, Matoaca and Atlee).
Region 5A - Tidewater Area
Region 5B - Peninsula Area
Region 5C - RVa Area
Region 5D - NW Areas

All movement is because of student population changes.
