TTownTigers 82 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 2 minutes ago, SW_VA_boy said: Checking WVVA scoreboard for scores in their area. Has Giles listed as Giles County. *facepalm* Is it that hard to get something that simple correct? Just sloppy work. Narrows fans and Giles fans, I know it seems simple and I guess it is, but.....evidently it's not because many, many people still make that mistake, and they don't make that mistake with most other schools. There are few teams that have the name of the High School as the same name of the County, yet they have another High School in that county. Most other schools that have the name of the county are the only school in that county, so lets face it, some of that responsibility rests in the county of Giles. You kind of bring it on yourself, at least a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appomattox stands a fair chance of getting back there if not Clarke or Goochland. With the new alignment is there still cross bracketing in the semis? If not then Clarke and Goochland won't be able to both make it to the title game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely Salem will be the team to beat for Bburg to make it there, and them two will more than likely have to play each other twice The road to a 4A title is way more than Salem. Dinwiddie, Lake Taylor and GW Danville will all have very good squads this year. I saw Blacksburg play twice last season and they do return some good talent with Beck, Terry and Johnson to name a few. I've attended the 4A championship game not too long ago and it is definitely a step up from 3A. Good luck to all area athletes...hoping everyone can avoid injuries this year.

TTownTigers 82 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Lake Taylor is a beast and Dinwiddie is one heck of a program, but Salem, really Salem? No need to even go further. ALWAYS the real deal and when they are in your bracket, you worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when Sacco was there his response to why they were doing this was that they needed to distinguish them from Sullivan Central. One would think that Wise Central, Central-Wise, Central (Wise), or so forth, would do exactly that. Those of us in Lee can relate the same. Still get plenty of "Lee County High".

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Central (Wise) is the logical choice but logic doesn't seem to be a factor.

How it goes from there, I don't know. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I know it's not popular, but I like the cross bracketing at the regional level. They do it in basketball and volleyball. Assuming they do it in the semis, there's a chance of 2 schools from the same region in the championship game and more likely to have the 2 best teams in Salem.

At least 3 times in the last 5 years there was an all Region D championship in AA Girls basketball. Had they not done cross bracketing those championship games would not have happened. The Region D runner up was obviously better than the Regions A,B, and C champions. Also, reading this, it doesn't appear that there is any cross bracketing in football. Am I interpreting this incorrectly? http://www.vhsl.org/football/# Click resources and then Football Playoff Format. Looks like A champion hosts B champion and C hosts D.

Hokiebird7 1,416 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I just think it's unecessary travel...and there is no way to know who the 2 beat teams are in any sport other than someone's opinion.. The 2 best teams will be in title game We just don't agree on the cross bracketing....no big deal everyone has their own opinion on the matter Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just turned out Ridgeview and Union were the two that survived out of the district tournament. And reading that, it doesn't look like they will cross bracket. Granted, where I read that it would was in a Richmond area blog that I linked in a thread somewhere on here, so that certainly wouldn't be certified as a reputable source... but then again, the VHSL website isn't either at times, so who knows.

Instead we got the classic come from behind win over Union in the state title game that wasn't decided till the final second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
