So let's be honest here, a bulk of what was the Central Region resides in 5A... Between the two schools in 5A North and the 14 in the South...
So right now a total of 9 teams would be in the playoffs of those 16 schools.
Atlee would be the school in the north as a 13 seed traveling to #4 Broad Run.
In the south, it would look like this...
#8 Meadowbrook at #1 LC Bird
#7 Matoaca at #2 Hermitage
#6 Lee-Davis at #3 Highland Springs
#5 Henrico at #4 Douglas Freeman
Here's the kicker... Under the old format only five of these schools would be in... I divided the teams up like they used to be in Division 5 & 6 and used the old ratings formula to come up with this dandy little bracket...
Division 5:
Hermitage would be the top seed, that's right boys and girls, Hermitage would playing in Division 5 which would mean trouble for the other three teams; #2 Hanover, #3 Lee-Davis and #4 Monacan.
LC Bird would still be the top seed followed by #2 Highland Springs without Hermitage in the way and Douglas Freeman would be the #4 seed as Thomas Dale a 6A-South school would be the third seed in the Division 6 bracket.
That would mean no Matoaca, Henrico or even Meadowbrook/Varina.
