V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 So, among the teams that are actively in the playoff hunt, who is looking to snap a playoff drought? Also, which of those teams could snap a drought of hosting a playoff game? I know Virginia High is currently the #4 seed and hasn't hosted a playoff game in almost 20 years if not longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Would have to imagine the streak just about reaches eternity for home playoff games for Thomas Walker (currently 5th in 1D). It’s unlikely it breaks, but the kids from Ewing way have had themselves a fairly nice season. starcityfootballfan and Union_Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the link I pulled up on VHSLHelper’s website. But then again, he’s literally the only person this side of 2003 I’ve ever met who uses Angelfire, which is about as functional as a Yugo with a swapped motor. Long story short, I probably pulled up old numbers which were listed as current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses just the point total, which makes it easier to see what a team needs and can accumulate, the others are listing them in order by the point average (div. by number of games played).

Fair enough. A “sort” function would be simple and lovely, which every webhost which has updated its code since the Clinton administration has.

TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I would assume 92 and 96, would be the only seasons Thomas Walker "could" have hosted a playoff game. With a record of 10-0 and 9-1 going into the playoffs. So 21 years or 25 years? Someone older will have to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PioneerNation 3 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Thomas Walker hosted J.J. Kelly in 92 and lost. In 96 they won there first and only playoff game, can not remember who they played or where the first round was at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like TW hosted Ervinton in 96, winning 6-0 according to http://cougarfootball .net/vhsl_playoffs/1997.htm I can’t take credit for the link. This link was posted in the Swva all team thread a few weeks ago. PioneerNation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you count the Hurley/Twin Valley game (which the VHSL did not this week due to the last minute schedule change), then Hurley is 4th with Thomas Walker in 5th. That's probably what Helper did to get his numbers. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Cats 472 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 If VHS does hold on to the #4 seed, this will be their first home playoff game since 1987 (4A Region IV Championship vs Marion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 not because of schedule change... Lloyd got that wrong. This happened a few years ago. LB @ VHSL told me their program has some "features" that can cause problems. They can't change game weeks, like moving a game from week 11 to 10. AND they can't include a game that hasn't happened yet. So the program won't let a H-TV result be entered until today, even if it had been moved to, say, Labor Day. I just checked, and the ratings weren't updated today... thought they might be since Hampton got upset & M'sex had a game, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said VHS played at home in 2002 against Grundy. I figured that either '97(9-1) or '87(8-2) would have been the last time. He told me that all of those playoff games were on the road. I even asked VHS' loyal statistician for the last 2+ decades, and he said he couldn't remember. Either way, now that it seems set, it's a rare event in Bristol and the stands need to be packed next week! V-Cats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, they should play Chincoteague on the Eastern Shore They're both 1A schools too! And it's just a 10 hr drive according to Google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
