CLASS 5, REGION C:

1) WILLIAM FLEMING (8-0)* 31.75 (W=28, L=15)
2) MATOACA (8-0)* 30.5 (W=32, L=17)
3) MIDLOTHIAN (7-1)* 28.25 (W=40, L=21)
4) LOUISA (6-2) 26.5 (W=28, L=15)
5) HERMITAGE (5-4) 26.333 (BYE WEEK)
6) DOUGLAS FREEMAN (6-3) 25.556 (W=34, L=18)
7T) L.C. BIRD (5-3) 25.0 (W=32, L=18)
PRINCE GEORGE (4-4) 25.0 (W=40, L=21)
PH-ROANOKE (5-3) 25.0 (W=32, L=17)
---
10T) MILLS GODWIN (3-5) 21.0
FRANKLIN CO. (2-6) 21.0

ANALYSIS: You can see how the Colonels expanded their lead atop the region with a win over now 6-2 Lord Botetourt, while Matoaca defeated Petersburg, who has a losing record. William Fleming gets 2-6 Franklin County, whose mighty slim playoff hopes die if they lose to the Colonels. Meanwhile, Matoaca faces 4-4 Prince George, so, yes, a chance to draw closer to William Fleming with a week to play. Midlothian joins the top two as teams having clinched playoff bids based on our projections. If they can hand Huguenot their first loss, it would certainly solidify their hold on the #3 seed and vault them into talk for #2 should the Royals get the upset win. As expected, the hottest team in the region, Louisa, narrowly passes Hermitage for #4 after a 69-0 pasting of Fluvanna. The Lions have 2-6 Albemarle this week, while the Panthers have the bye. If Louisa slips, the next five teams below them can pounce on that #4 seed, Prince George with the best chance, followed by Douglas Freeman, who ends their regular season against a 5-3 Hanover team desperate for a win trying to clinch a postseason bid in Region 4B. L.C. Bird plays Class 6 Cosby, getting two extra bonus points for doing so. Patrick Henry-Roanoke gets 4-4 Blacksburg. So, basically, six teams are fighting for five spots. Should be fun!

OTHER CLASS 5 REGIONS (State Semifinals: 5A vs. 5B; 5C vs. 5D):

REGION 5A: 1) Green Run 31.111; 2) Frank W. Cox 29.625; 3) Salem-VB 28.5; 4) Indian River 27.375
REGION 5B: 1) Maury 31.75; 2) King's Fork 30.25; 3) Warwick 30.0; 4) Nansemond River 29.375
REGION 5D: 1) Riverbend 29.25; 2) Briar Woods 28.5; 3) Independence 26.375; 4) Riverside 22.375

THE BREAKDOWN: VHSL Football Region Standings Entering Week 11


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


CLASS 5, REGION C:


1) X--William Fleming (9-0) 32.222
2) X--Matoaca (9-0) 31.556
3) X--Midlothian (7-2) 28.0
4) X--Louisa (7-2) 27.444
5) Hermitage (5-4) 27.111
6) L.C. Bird (6-3) 26.444
7) PH-Roanoke (6-3) 26.333
8) Douglas Freeman (6-4) 25.3
---
9) Prince George (4-5) 25.0

NOTES: Who gets #1 if both William Fleming and Matoaca win Friday? It will depend on results of other games. If one wins and the other loses, it's academic. Midlothian can clinch the #3 seed by defeating L.C. Bird, who need a win to secure their berth. Hermitage, LC Bird, and PH-Roanoke all look to be in barring some upsets, but, mathematically, they aren't yet. Douglas Freeman is rooting hard for Hopewell to knock off Prince George Friday night so the Mavericks can make the postseason. A Prince George win gives them the inside track to flip with Douglas Freeman.
