Here we go - the second week of the playoffs have arrived, and eight of 11 teams in the Southside Region survived opening week of the postseason. Who can make it step further? Here is a preview of this week's action.
1A East
No. 5 William Campbell vs. No. 4 Sussex Central
Tough one here for William Campbell, going on the road to Sussex. This one will be decided in the fourth quarter, and it's a mistake from the visitors that seals it.
SHS 35, WCHS 21
No. 10 Altavista vs. No. 2 Riverheads
Tom Casto produces state contenders in Greenville year in and year out, and this year is no different. Undefeated, how can you pick against the Gladiators?
RHS 42, AHS 14
No. 6 Central Lunenburg vs. No. 3. Franklin FHS 21, CLHS 20
2A East
No. 8 Greensville vs. No 1. Goochland
Goochland 24, Greensville 21
2A West
No. 5 Buckingham vs. No. 4 Richlands
In a stacked 2A West, Buckingham goes on the road for a tough test, but if nobody can stop Leon Ragland, BHS is in good shape. Expect a heavy dosage of Ragland from the get-go, and for Buckingham to advance.
BHS 38, RHS 20
No. 8 Dan River vs. No. 1 Appomattox
AHS 42, DRHS 20
3A West
No. 5 Brookville vs No. 4 Magna Vista
MVHS 22, BHS 20
No. 7 George Washington vs. No. 2 John Champe
A tough one here for George Washington to go on the road. JCHS is undefeated while GWHS has lost just once. The powerful defense of the hosts should be enough, but don't be shocked to see it go either way.
JCHS 35, GWHS 28
