Final Weekend / Playoffs

While a lot of teams have finished their regular season, there several games left which could cause some majoring shifting in playoff seeds.

 

THE BIGGEST GAME. (Road Trip Game)

#1 2A West Appomattox at #3 4A West Amherst

Last week Appomattox destroyed Chatham 81-8, while Amherst beat then #1 3A West Rustburg 49-21.

An Appomattox lost, a Graham win, might be enough to push Graham into the #1 seed. I can see THE G-MAN a smiling.

 

 

Union at John Battle

A Union win might push them past Richlands. Don't get upset Big Blue, this could be a good thing to happen if Appomattox is the #2 seed.

 

Lee at VA High

A Lee win could push them past Grundy, sending Grundy (hello weak schedule) to Martinsville. OUCH!!!!

 

2A. 12-16 seeds

Likely to be some shifting. All hoping to avoid the trip to Appomattox.

 

Long shots

Tazewell and VA High

Wins plus other teams ahead of them losing plus bonus points plus a little luck could equal a playoff seed.

 

 

Hurley-Twin Valley and George Wythe-Rural Retreat

Hurley and GW are big favorites to win. However, this one for the #2 seed will come down to Bonus Points from past wins. Edge to GW.

 

Ft Chiswell-Bland and Chilhowie-Holston

Ft. Chiswell and Chilhowiie are the favorites to win. Ft. Chiswell will probably pass Chilhowie.

 

Twin Valley, Castlewood, Covington, Rural Retreat, Twin Springs

L. Idle. W? L. W

 

Remember that old George Jones song The Race is On, will the race is wild here. Castlewood will pass Twin Valley, if Covington beat 2A James River, they could pass Twin Valley and maybe Castlewood, A Twin Springs win over Rye Cove just might be enough to pass Rural Retreat. Who knows, Covington loses to James River, Rural Retreat may out bonus point them. These 5 are just to many ands, buts, what's, ifs, teens. Just to wild and crazy like the bottom seeds are every year.

 

REMEMBER all of this depends on wins, lost, bonus points.

Nah not really... it's quite simple for both of them.  Tazewell beats Lebanon and they're in, cut and dry.  Virginia High wins and James River loses and the Bearcats go dancing.

If Appox loses and Graham, Union win where do Richlands fall to?

 

Too hard to tell right now. Likely come to a tiebreak scenario. And none of the top tiebreaks work for Richlands and Appo. Could come down to drawing a name from a hat.

Based on Helpers cheat sheet, If Dan River wins and gets max rider points and Richlands gets max rider points Dan River would outpoint them by 1 point.   that would drop Richlands to 4.  That is unless Appo loses.  Then that opens up a whole new can of scenarios that I know the G-Men faithful would love to see happen.  :)

There was a reason that I wrote that last sentence. Some of the shifting for seeds are nothing more than long shots and a luck of the dr aw. Strange things can happen. Example: What if some team had to forfeit some games or all? Might be before your time Leatherhead, but some of us older fans can recall what happen to Chilhowie several years ago.

Sure, seeds can shuffle this final week, but the top 14 in 2A West are safe, leaving two open spots.  The 15 will go to the winner of Tazewell/Lebanon and the 16 could go to either James River, Virginia High, Wise Central, Gretna or Ridgeview.

 

The top 15 are pretty safe in 1A West with one open spot left.  That spot should be between Bland and Honaker.  Honaker would steal it with a win over Ridgeview and a Bland loss.

To VHSL Helper and Leatherhead Larry,

 

Richlands can pick up a possible 6 or 8 bonus points from previous defeated opponents.

 

 

Union can pick up a possible 8 bonus points from previous defeated opponents.

 

Union beats John Battle, 18 points for defeating an 2A team, 2 bonus pts x

5 wins = 10 points.

 

Richlands 6 or 8 bonus points.

Union 18 pts + 10 pts = 28 points + possible 8 bonus pts = 36 points

 

The difference might be enough, unless I added wrong. By the way, Union is #4 in 2A West not #5.

88, 88, 88.
First you posted incorrect info, then you can't provide the numbers you based your info on.
That stuff may float with your buddies, but around here, it makes you look stupid.

In 2008, there was basically no chance a 4-5 Tunstall team would win at 6-2 Patrick Co.

Played 47.8 minutes, was down by a TD and PC was about to put the nail in the Halloween coffin.

Rem. what happened?

 

There's an upset or two on the last week every year, usually by a "top" team. I think this could be the game this year.

Grundy has a weak schedule other than Richlands and Hurley the rest of the teams are weak.

 

Not talking playoff run, but seeding. Compared to teams we're battling with, it doesn't look weak to me. Hurley is another story....

 
games won by opponents  for 2 bonus points, for 1 & total
 
22 20 42 - Grundy (38 per 9 games)
16 22 38 - Martinsville
24 10 34 - Glenvar
22 22 44 - Giles
21 12 33 - Marion
 
Like I said, we're on the road because of our D -  2 guys can't cover trips to one side. It REALLY doesn't take a math person to figure THAT one out.
