BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't see the problem. Sure some bad teams get in, but why not let those kids have that extra game? And maybe they pull the massive upset.

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I would much rather have 8 teams per region and the chance of losing record team get in than a team like George Wythe in 92 who didn't get in after going 9-1. Upsets happen 2017 - 6 seed Grayson County traveled to 3 Ridgeview and pulled the upset. VHSLhelper, MT FAN 91 and BigWinners 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2A team in Virginia seeded 5th or lower has ever won a state title since Virginia expanded from 3 levels of play to 6 levels of play back in 1986. I would wager that for all teams statewide for all 6 levels 1A through 6A, the number of teams winning state titles that were 5th seed or worse has not happened more than 10 times. I know Appy at 5-5 and even Salem a couple of years back were 5-5 and I imagine these teams were 5th seed or lower, but still it's the exception to the rule. This is why 4 teams making the playoffs per region is perfect. Yes, it would mean Richland's would be staying home this year, but again, how likely are they to win a state title this year? It's incredibly unlikely. Now, will the VHSL change and subtract to 6 or 4 teams? No chance. That’s kind of a finicky measure. For 23 of those seasons, no team seeded 5th or lower could win, because all regions only allowed 4 playoff berths. Then for the next 6 seasons, the playoffs were split into an E-W system (N-S for 5A and 6A), which seeded teams 1-16. #10 seeded Blacksburg won the 2016 3A title. In 3C, a #16 upset a #1 as well. Just in the last 4 seasons have we had the current 1-8 format per region (except for Region B, which does 1-6), and no, it has not happened since then.

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I read in the paper today that in 1984 Galax went 9-1 only gave up 4 touchdowns in the regular season and didn't make the playoffs. Crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsntu88 84 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Craig County maybe has 20 players if that. I can’t put my finger on it but regardless of the result of what the game would be, I am sure the community here in New Castle would be excited.

We already have a game where a defender can’t breath on a QB. The mother of a Grayson athlete works in my office. The Tuesday following Grayson’s 57-0 drubbing at the hands of Galax, she said to me.....”if everybody can’t have NFL players coaching and teaching weight training, nobody should be able to! It’s not fair for Galax to cheat like that. They are too big and too strong to bully those poor Grayson kids that way!” If you think these mothers don’t carry weight in the changing of the game at every level, you’re naive!
