THE RVA SPORTS BREAKDOWN:​

VHSL Football Region Standings and Analysis For Week 9​

CLASS 2, REGION A:
1) POQUOSON (7-0) 25.714
2T) BRUTON (7-0) 23.429
SOUTHAMPTON (6-1) 23.429
4) CENTRAL-LUNENBURG (5-2) 20.0
5) AMELIA (5-2) 18.0
6) GREENSVILLE (3-4) 17.571
7) NOTTOWAY (3-4) 16.857
8) KING WILLIAM (1-6) 14.0
---
9) JOHN MARSHALL (2-6) 13.25
10) PRINCE EDWARD (1-6) 12.857

ANALYSIS: The Justices aren't out it yet, but they're down to two games left. King William could really create some separation with a win at Mechanicsville, a Class 4 school, this week (four bonus points), before their tradition rivalries with West Point and King & Queen Central. A showdown awaits between the #4 and #5 seeds on Halloween Night. NOTE: Standings do not reflect Central-Lunenburg's 28-7 loss to Buckingham on Tuesday night.

OTHER CLASS 2 REGIONS:

REGION 2B: 1) Strasburg 24.571; 2) Riverheads 24.5; 3) Clarke County 23.714; 4) Buckingham County 22.667
REGION 2C: 1) Glenvar 21.0; 2) Floyd County 20.714; 3) Radford 18.625; 4) Gretna 18.286

*****************

CLASS 2, REGION A:
1) POQUOSON (8-0)* 26.25 (W=34, L=15)
2) BRUTON (8-0)* 24.75 (W=34, L=15)
3) SOUTHAMPTON (7-1)* 24.25 (W=20, L=8)
4) CENTRAL-LUNENBURG (5-3)* 19.75 (W=28, L=12) (nine-game schedule)
5) GREENSVILLE (4-4) 18.25 (W=24, L=10)
6) AMELIA (5-3) 17.625 (W=28, L=12)
7) NOTTOWAY (3-4) 17.571 (W=20, L=8) (nine-game schedule)
8) KING WILLIAM (2-6) 15.625 (W=24, L=10)
---
9) JOHN MARSHALL (2-7) 13.889 (W=28, L=12)
10T) PRINCE EDWARD (1-7) 13.25 (W=24, L=10)
RANDOLPH-HENRY (2-6) 13.25 (W=34, L=15)

ANALYSIS: The winner between Poquoson and Bruton will, in all likelihood, clinch the #1 seed here in Region 2A. Southampton would love to leap over the loser for #2, but two weak opponents down the stretch may not allow that. #4 and #6 collide as Central-Lunenburg faces Amelia in a game that will go a long way to settling the middle of the playoff order. Nottoway has two teams outside the top eight left to play in Prince Edward and Randolph-Henry. King William gets rivals West Point this week and King & Queen Central Thursday November 7th. Randolph-Henry can get in prime position to wreck the current order if they stun 8-0 Buckingham, while John Marshall must win their finale down in Bristol to have any hope to play on.

OTHER CLASS 2 REGIONS (State Semifinals: 2A vs. 2B; 2C vs. 2D):

REGION 2B: 1) Clarke Co. 25.25; 2) Riverheads 23.889; 3T) Buckingham County and Strasburg 23.75
REGION 2C: 1) Glenvar 21.25; 2) Radford 20.444; 3) Gretna 20.375; 4) Floyd Co. 19.875
REGION 2D: 1) Graham 25.5; 2) Union 23.625; 3) Ridgeview 21.0; 4) Lebanon 20.111

THE BREAKDOWN: VHSL Football Region Standings Entering Week 11​

X--Clinched Playoff Berth
Z--Clinched Seed (can't move up or down)

CLASS 2, REGION A:

1) Z--Poquoson (9-0) 27.778
2) X--Bruton (8-1) 24.556
3) X--Southampton (8-1) 24.444
4) X--Central-Lunenburg (6-3) 21.222
5) X--Greensville Co (5-4) 19.222
6) X--Nottoway (4-4) 18.5
7) X--King William (3-6) 17.556
8) John Marshall (2-8) 14.2
---
9) Randolph-Henry (2-7) 13.667
10) Nandua (2-7) 13.444


NOTES: Poquoson is locked and loaded at #1 heading into a Week 11 showdown with Class 3, Region A leader, fellow 9-0 Lafayette. Bruton holds the inside track on the second seed should they and Southampton both win. Central is not a lock at #4, and their regular season is over with just nine games (divide by nine like Varina!), with Greensville, Nottoway (9-game season) and King William all look to try to improve seeding. With Amelia canceling the rest of their season, John Marshall moves into the #8 position, but they are done, and will scoreboard watch the two teams below them.
