Foootball: VHSL Ratings Quick Note

Did you have time to check out the VHSL ratings we posted yesterday? Here is what jumps out at us ... three Dulles District teams are currently in line to get a bye the first week of the playoffs as Broad Run and Loudoun County are 1-2 in Region II, Division 4 and Park View is No. 2 in Division 3.

This is the first year that AA Region II expands from four teams to six teams with the top two resting up the first week of the playoffs. The BR-LC byes are on the line perhaps when they face each other this Saturday when they face each other in Ashburn. The winner will have mega power points and the loser will be fine but could get passed up by No. 3 Sherando.

Dominion is currently on the outs, sitting seventh in Division 3 after back-to-back losses.

Stone Bridge, despite losing Monday, is in great shape in Northern Region Division 5, sitting second but no bye for the Bulldogs as the Northern Region does a full eight teams in the playoffs. Look for a possible Madison-Stone Bridge rematch in the regional semifinals!

So Region II ... 6 teams ... Northern Region ... 8 teams ... And Northwest Region only allows 4 teams! And the Northwest is chock full of great teams which leaves Heritage and Loudoun Valley most likely sitting home this season, even if they win out.
