Football: Six Loudoun Teams Appear Set for Playoffs

(Nov. 2, 2010) - Appears likely that half of Loudoun's 12 high school football teams have booked playoff tickets as the Virginia High School League has released its weekly ratings with one game left in the regular season.

Undefeated Stone Bridge (9-0) sits on top of Division 5 in the Northern Region with a 30.7 rating. The Bulldogs should have homefield advantage for their 3-game region title run.

Loudoun Valley (7-2) is headed to the playoffs in Division 5 in the Northwest Region where the Vikes are currently third with a 25.9 rating.

In Region II, Briar Woods (7-2) and Broad Run (9-1) are third and fourth in Division 4 with 26.7 and 26.5 ratings -- trailing unbeaten Louisa (27.1) and Sherando (27.0). In Division 3, Dominion (4-5) should make the playoffs for the first time in school history, win or lose against Briar Woods this week, and Park View, even with a 3-6 record, is in playoff position. This is the first year that Region II has expanded the playoffs from six to eight teams per each division.
