And next game will be vs. Oak Hill (red), not Liberty Bedford.

Probably good for Union.  The Minutemen wouldn't have given them much of a game and it probably would have been a waste of time to play them.  

The reason for Liberty's withdrawal (contact tracing) is pretty dubious for a couple of reasons.

I’ll give it to Union, they are playing a very tough schedule!  They should definitely be ready come tournament time. 

They're basically doing the exact opposite of RV. They aren't a team that needs to really build confidence, so they can afford to take on very tough teams and lose knowing itll.pay dividends come playoff time. RV is the new kid on the block, getting Ws helps boost their confidence, so they haven't scheduled as many good teams that could beat them bc they feel like building confidence is the most important thing. Both make sense.

Programs at different levels too. Union has a state title and RV just made their first region tourney last year.  The RV girls on the other hand have played a decent schedule.  RV boys are going to be high in the district in most sports for a couple of years because they are on a good cycle of athletes right now.

Exactly. The RV girls can afford to schedule good teams bc they're at that level and they don't lack confidence. A loss shouldn't send them spiraling. On the boys side, they're in the process of building a program so making sure those boys experience wins and learn how it feels helps build them up.
