I had this same conversation with someone yesterday. I don't mind that they are playing at bigger stadiums but I wish they were all at the same site over the course of 2 days. Have Classes 1-3 play on Friday and 4-6 on Saturday. Game times at 11am, 3:30pm, and 8pm. Charge $12 per game or $30 per...

Record doesn't always tell the whole story, but power rating is usually a good indicator if a team is good or not because it is determined by strength of schedule. And That's' a great story but they should not have been in the playoffs, especially if there was a team in another region that had a...

Exactly! I call them "sectional championships" but it's the same thing as a "region" championship.

It's up to each school's administration to regulate who has sideline access during games. If a principal or AD allows it, then it's nothing officials can do about it. It's not until the State-semifinals and finals that people are required to have VHSL passes for access.

It would definitely require a lot of economic and logistical planning, but they make it work in other states, specifically in Texas, which is a much larger state in terms of land area. I wonder how they make it work there. Or even in NC, which is comparable to VA in terms of land area.

You can still have "region championships" if they went to a true state tournament. The "region" championships would just be determined by seeding instead of geographic location. What's the harm in that?

100% agree! I wish VHSL got rid of "regions" and did a true state tournament with the top 32 teams qualifying based on power ratings, regardless of "region.' But for now, I will settle for the Class 4 format of reseeding for state-semis. That makes the most sense.

Union finished regular season with 27.40. Glenvar finished with 27.00.

Yes, Class 6 semi-final host sites were pre-determined this year. West Springfield @ North Stafford and Oscar Smith @ Madison. Next year it will be Region D @ Region A and Region B @ Region C.

The final score doesn't tell the full story. North Stafford dominated this game. NS forced 7 turnovers (2 fumble returns for TDs) and was up 49-19 in 4th quarter. WB got two scores late in garbage time.

LCA/Heritage winner gets winner of Kettle Run/Skyline in state semifinal. I know they have to play the games but Kettle Run is all but guaranteed to beat Skyline again. KR won 36-0 in the regular season.

I definitely think the winner of LCA-HHS will make it to the championship but Lake Taylor and Magna Vista are really good this year too. I think one of those teams could definitely win the championship this year too.

Interesting story developing in SWVA. I hope this isn't anything tragic and that it ends well for everyone involved. I also wonder how this will affect their game tomorrow vs Graham. https://wcyb.com/news/local/wise-county-schools-staff-member-placed-on-leave
