REGION 3A
#8 Southampton (6-4) at #1 Hopewell (10-0)
#5 Norcom (6-4) at #4 Lafayette (9-1)
#6 Tabb (5-5) at #3 Phoebus (9-1)
#7 Petersburg (5-5) at #2 York (10-0)
BEST FIRST ROUND GAME: #5 Norcom at #4 Lafayette. If the Rams hadn’t slipped up against York, they would be in position for a second round playoff game. Instead, that’s York. Norcom may play a tougher schedule, but this Greyhound team doesn’t have a true quality win. John Marshall (6-4), Petersburg (5-5) and Booker T. Washington (4-6) are at the same level as the teams that Norcom has beaten in previous seasons.
WORST FIRST ROUND GAME: #8 Southampton at #1 Hopewell. The Indians haven’t seen a team like this Hopewell team this year.
REGION 3B
#8 Independence (2-8) at #1 Goochland (9-1)
#5 Skyline (5-5) at #4 William Monroe (6-4)
#6 George Mason (4-6) at #3 Brentsville (7-3)
#7 Central Woodstock (4-6) at #2 James Monroe (2-8)
BEST FIRST ROUND GAME: #5 Skyline at #4 Monroe. Monroe won the regular season meeting 41-27 at Skyline on October 18. Now the Dragons get a chance to beat the Hawks again, this time at home.
REGION 3C
#8 Western Albemarle (4-6) at #1 Heritage-Lynchburg (9-1)
#5 Turner Ashby (6-4) at #4 Liberty Christian (7-3)
#6 Brookville (4-6) at #3 Rockbridge County (8-2)
#7 Fluvanna (5-5) at #2 Spotswood (10-0)
BEST FIRST ROUND GAME: #5 Turner Ashby (5-5) at #4 Liberty Christian (7-3). The two teams have never met. The two teams have no common opponents this season.
WORST FIRST ROUND GAME: #7 Fluvanna at #2 Spotswood. Spotswood navigated the regular season with an undefeated record. The Trailblazers have outscored opponents 410-90 this season. The two teams haven’t met in the last 20 years, if at all.
REGION 3D
#8 William Byrd (3-7) at #1 Lord Botetourt (10-0)
#5 Christiansburg (5-5) at #4 Hidden Valley (6-4)
#6 Bassett (6-4) at #3 Magna Vista (7-3)
#7 Abingdon (5-5) at #2 Northside (7-3)
BEST FIRST ROUND GAME: #6 Bassett at #3 Magna Vista. On Friday, these two teams met at Bassett with Bassett winning 16-12. They’ll turn right around and do it again this week with the loser’s season being done.
WORST FIRST ROUND GAME: #8 Wiliam Byrd at #1 Lord Botetourt. Yet another lopsided first round match up.
