For some, it’s time for a miracle, for others it’s holding onto the high seed for the coveted home field advantage. The two Lynchburg city schools are attempting to make the road to the finals come through the Hill City.
Amherst (5-3, 4-1) at Heritage (7-1, 4-1)
This game features the two best running backs in the district in Frank Ross for Amherst and Elijah Davis for Heritage. Amherst won a shootout last week, and kept their playoff hopes alive. Now they travel to City Stadium two weeks in a row and take on two of the best Seminole teams back to back. Heritage is currently ranked second in Region 3C power points, but they have two Class 4 teams remaining and could vault back to the number one seed with a victory.
Glass (7-1, 4-1) at LCA (3-5, 2-3)
Rylan Stamm and Eddie Ogle put up some eye popping numbers last week in Amherst. The LCA offense has been explosive this season averaging almost 35 points per game. Williams Stadium will play host to the final home game of the season for the Bulldogs, who will be tested by a Hilltopper squad on a mission. EC Glass is currently ranked #1 in region 4D, and have been led by Matthew MacCullom and Thomas Patterson.
Rustburg (2-6, 0-5) at Jefferson Forest (4-4, 3-2)
Both teams have been riddled with injuries, and are turning the reigns over to their third string quarterbacks. However, this game features two of the best offensive linemen in the Seminole. LG Orville “O.P. “ Peterson for Jefferson Forest, and RG Logan Reusser for Rustburg are first team all-district players at their positions and will lead the way in the trenches. Rustburg is on the outside looking into the playoffs and desperately need a win to make the post season.
Brookville (6-2, 3-2) at Liberty (2-6, 0-5)
Brookville is currently holding the #1 seed in region 3C, and Tanner Bernard has lead the offense to an average of 31 points a game. The Bees will travel to a place that has been an Achilles heel in the past. In 2015, they were upset 40-34 in Bedford. Liberty has been riddled with injuries, but they continue to give maximum effort. Senior night in Bedford will feature a Minutemen squad looking for an upset.
