Does anyone know schedule ? These 3rd place games have me all confused.
It seems pretty ridiculous in some cases. I still think it should be lose one and you are done. Never understood why a team was allowed to lose the region and still get a chance to win the state.I know one team that seems to lose every game in tournament, yet they are still playing.
Have any teams won the state after losing to the same team in the region final? If you have already defeated the team, why do you have to defeat them a 2nd time in that short amount of time. I am not sure this has happened as I have described it. I do know that a while back Altavista defeated Clarke in the region final, but Clarke ended up state champion.Different sport, but Wm Campbell won state baseball championship last spring, going 6-12 in Regular season. But once playoffs started they won games, wasn't like they lost twice a week in a 3rd place game.

In 2014 Gate City girls defeated Central-Wise 4 times (twice in the regular season, the conference tourney championship, and the region championship). GC and Wise had to play a 5th time 5-6 hours away at VCU for the title. Wise won the 5th game and the state title.
For me, I think the 4 region winners vie for the State Championship, has nothing to do with who I support. If they win the region then they get to represent, loser goes home. They have already split A into 1A and 2A. Used to be one single A champion, so the VHSL has already doubled the games. I think they should get away from the conference and go back to districts. No district tournaments. Just seed the regions from the regular season based on a point system. Either let the top teams have a bye or have the weak teams have a play in game if that is necessary. That might reduce the number of teams having to play the same teams again. Just a thought.The regional finals are just seeding games. However, if your team is one that loses in the regional finals and then goes on to win out to earn a state championship, would that change your view? Or would you rather just finish your season at the regional final with a loss?
The regional final games have been seeding purposes for years in all sports but football. It used to be the same when there was Region A, B, C, D.
Example, Region B would have 2 teams play for the regional final, winner hosted, and loser went to the winner of Region A. While Region B champ would host Region A loser. Same went for Region C and D.
What is different now?
