Valley District

[obguthr]

Just how bad is the Valley this year? Here are some numbers:

Record against out of district opponents: 8-20
Wins against larger class opponents out of district: 1 (2A RE Lee v. winless 3A Rockbridge)
Losses against smaller class opponents: 9 (Stuarts Draft and Riverheads are responsible for about half of these)

I doubt a single team survives the first round of the playoffs.

Yes, that looks pretty bad. Can Spotswood beat Blacksburg if they play in rd. 1?

Can, but I think Blacksburg will win. Both teams started slow but improved throughout the season, notching some key wins.

It's been that way for 3-4 years..... 2016 is not the first time

Well, looks like a Valley team will be in the second round.

read in the DNR that Harrisonburg is valley district champs...how is that so? three teams were 6-1 and all beat each other...not that it really matters, just curious

Better overall record? Higher rating?

Ha ha! I didn't anticipated two Valley teams playing each other.

Best overall record is Spotswood at 7-3, i think. Spotswood should also have the most points. Who knows

The reason Harrisonburg is champ is because only 2 teams finished at 6-1. TA ended at 5-2 in the district (lost to SHS and Waynesboro). Spotswood and Harrisonburg were 6-1 and H'burg claims the crown because they won the head to head. That game hurt SHS in may ways. Win it and they might be a 6 or 5 seed because of the 4A help H'burg would have given them. Anyway, that's why Harrisonburg is district champs. obguthr: I had to laugh when I saw SHS and TA having to play each other to make your prediction wrong.
