Possible Playoff Matchup you would like to see in Region 4?
- Thread starter OwnFool
- Start date
A matchup between Varina and Louisa would be an exciting and highly competitive game. It would have one of the state’s top defensive units in Varina facing off against Louisa’s explosive, high scoring offense. The battle between Varina’s disciplined and talented defense and Louisa’s dynamic playmakers like Hiter and Carter would be a true test of strength and strategy. Louisa’s quarterback brings both passing ability and physical toughness, making him difficult to contain, but Varina’s quarterback’s agility and quick decision making add another layer of the game. Overall, it would be a thrilling clash between those two.
I also thought about this the past DPOY in Richardson vs The nations top RB in Hiter and One of the top WRs in Carter (Louisa)vs one of the best DB rooms in Thompson, Sa Rex and Wyche and sometimes Carter(Varina). Then you still got key guys like those two Linebackers in Hood and Walker for Varina and their running back Farley then for Louisa Nelson, Casey and Tyson. Man that would be a game to see.
I have Varina winning by 2 scores. Varina is also my pick to win C4 as well
I agree I think they will to, if the two do meet I got Varina winning 35-21. It will be the most a team would score against Varina besides Grimsley of course with 21.
Man, I like Louisa's coach and fans a ton, but in all due respect y'all are forgetting about Huguenot. They just throttled a very good Manchester team. I know Hiter is exceptional, but the Falcons have two receivers as good as or better than Louisa's Carter and the defensive backs to shut him down. If, and only if Louisa controls the ball and clock can they play with Huguenot or Varina. The Lions will be facing two teams that give up 3.8 and 6.3 points per game. No way they have faced lock down defenses of this caliber. They have also not played against quarterbacks with the talent of Wyche or Scott and their ability to beat you with deep throws. I would love to see the Lions upset the all star teams, but realistically it's a small chance. Time will tell.
Danville loses to all 4 by double didgets. I think JF will beat Danville
Yes, unfortunately. The top eight seeds are 78-12 and the top five seeds won their districts. Huguenot, Varina, and Dinwiddie give up less than 7.0 points a game. Just crazy!
It would be great to see a Louisa vs Varina game. Someone mentioned that for that to happen Louisa would have to get past Huguenot. There is another big hurdle to clear for that to happen - Varina would have to get past Dinwiddie at Dinwiddie! Louisa would play Huguenot at home and Louise from what I've heard is a very tough place to play - electric environment and huge energetic crowd. They used to have a real lion at the games. I haven't been there since Louisa was in the Battlefield. Dinwiddie is a very tough place to play too. Dinwiddie and Louisa protect the house as good as anyone.
I have them winning by 3 if that matchup happens
Louisa is not an intimidating place to play like it used to be. But I agree to see Varina play Louisa, Louisa will have to get past a strong Huguenot team which Louisa is likely not to do. Huguenot vs Varina 4B championship

Unfortunately a really deserving team won't make the region championship.
I'd have Louisa slightly over Huguenot in a higher scoring game. But eventually Louisa will pound them out late like St. Christopher.
Potential Dinwiddie vs Varina game. Varina the favorite until beaten, but I think Dinwiddie made some big improvements on defense this year so I would expect a tight game.
Out that top 4 who do yall think has a potential scare in round 1? Spotsylvania, because of the former King George staff might give a scare.

My only concern is that I don’t see Huguenot completely shutting down Carter. They might be able to slow him down, but he’s a four-star athlete for a reason. When Hiter was out, Carter carried the team both through the air and on the ground. Regarding playing at Dinwiddie, I think Varina if they win would enter with strong confidence playing there knowing they’ve already gone there and won convincingly before with the same exact team and Varina added major pieces to get even better. The main question is what will truly be different this time around. Dinwiddie is more balanced this year, and playing at Dinwiddie is always tough, but at some point, you have to wonder what will be the difference-maker that gets Dinwiddie a win over Varina? We will see

This may be a crazy take but if Louisa feel like they can rest Hiter and Carter one more week I can see that Caroline game being close only if Louisa thinks they can sit them but outside of that yeah that Sposylvania game can be a scare @GoBlue2109
I
I will be at the Spotsylvania at Huguenot game where I will see the Knights most likely get running-clocked by the Falcons. At least I will be able to get back up north a few minutes earlier and be home comfortably in time to watch the scoreboard shows.
Spotsylvania does not have the athletes that King George had. However, I was impressed with the Knights running game against Eastern View. That was on the heels of a sloppy win against James Monroe (by the way, I think the Battlefield teams in Class 3 have a shot in making the State Semifinals).
Unfortunately, I don’t see any Class 4 Battlefield school being within three touchdowns of any of their First Round opponents.
Hanover at Dinwiddie may be the most competitive Class 4 Region B First Round Game in terms of score closeness.
I wouldn’t doubt that could be possible outcomes but I’ve seen both JF and GW play. JF style of play does not matchup well with GW defense. JF likes to run as well as GW and they both have great RB’s. Would be one heck of a game. I would put a little respect on GW team they just don’t hand out out #1 seed to anyone. They’ve earned that right this year! GO EAGLES!! We shall see what happens.
Can you repeat the part about adding pieces and explain. Sounds like they did well in free agency. Hopewell HS, Henrico HS, inquisitive minds want know.
When I say “added pieces,” I’m not just talking about transfers because transfers happen all the time at every school. It’s not like Varina is out here recruiting this part is for another topic that we talked about. The players they brought in, along with the ones who moved up from JV, have stepped up and exceeded expectations. Varina’s JV program deserves a lot of credit they consistently develop their players the right way. So it’s not really about transfers or outside additions it’s about a strong developmental system that prepares their kids to contribute early. If every team that loses wants to point to “transfers” as the reason, I get it, but that’s not really the full story here I’m not saying you are saying that would be the reason I’m just saying in general @71ShadesofNavy

I appreciate your service my brother. I will say that you’ve stated on 2 different threads that GW won’t beat JF. I disagree highly (and that’s okay). GW’s running game is elite. They have huge/physical linemen and they’ve beaten Fleming, Botty and Magna Vista. Who has JF beaten?
I think the biggest game this postseason is the potential Dinwiddie/Varina match up. Varina is a great football team but they lost quite a bit (2 college starters in the secondary and they lost two very good players during the season). Dinwiddie is playing very good football and getting their best player back after getting hurt during the Highland Springs game. It’s a shame that this will be a second round game. I think they’re both interchangeably the two best teams in C4.
Varina lost Devin Henderson, TeeJay Cheatham and Myles Anderson. Their only gain has been Michael Farley. Major pieces is a huge stretch.
I agree I think that will be a good game. But also to correct something I believe it was just 1 person who graduated from the secondary because last year when they played Dinwiddie Sa Rex, Thompson and Wyche was starting and Carter would go in for certain situations. They also done that against a lot of good teams they played this year. All of those guys are still there
Devin left he played RB, Farley came in basically replaced that hole. Then Anderson was in the secondary but they have Thompson and Sa Rex right there along with Wyche and Carter I also believe Tre Rogers is still there they definitely filled all positions. Especially with Richardson, Barksdale, Johnson, Hudson, and Patterson on that line. If they can’t get a push on those big guys and get to those two stud linebackers in Walker and Hood it will be a long day for them or anyone.

This is the way I look at it. Louisa, Huguenot and dinwiddie all are great football teams but I looked at their schedules and there competition was not all that great.Dinwiddie went into Highland springs and struggled to beat them,when I say struggle I mean they didn't put up the 40 to 50 points they usually put up on other teams and they barely won.Varina went to Highland springs and had a cakewalk. Defense wins championships. We shall see that's why we play the game.
TeeJay Cheatham (starting CB at Hampton U) and Myles Anderson (playing at Va State) both graduated. Both were huge losses. Sa Rex is a very good CB and Thompson is more of a Rover. Sir Paul was going to be their other CB but they’ve been using D1 Carter (who isn’t a CB).
I was thinking this to, I think Dinwiddie Schedule was way tougher last year. Granby isn’t the Granby of Last year 2-8 they shouldn’t even be in the playoffs then a Salem team probably one of it is worse years didn’t make the playoffs. Springs shot theirself in the foot up 14-0 fumble in the red zone gotta execute those would have been up 21-0 But yea I agree Varina faced them and it was a cakewalk it should have been more Springs could have scored twice and they still would have not won.

I agree with that but those guys are definitely a great DB room right now and if Carter do what he was doing on Defense last year it will be tough. I wouldn’t wanna pass their way they may give up 1 or two long passes but other then that they are pretty much lock down.
I’ve heard this before and some people think Hanover can win they a good team but they not on Dinwiddie level I think it would be disrespectful to think like that lol.
That's why I would like to see GW vs any of those teams. I am not convinced that GW is a legit contender.
It’s disrespectful to think Hanover doesn’t have a chance to win but I guess it’s disrespectful for me to think Spotsylvania is going to get spanked too.
Will Phoebus make it out of their region? I know the QB was hurt earlier in the year. Did he ever come back?
Yes, but Phoebus overall is nowhere close to what they had last year. Their tackling is pretty bad for their standards. The game against churchland is kind of a toss up but they still got 4state champion coaching. So we’ll see if they can flip the switch for the playoffs, probably have to beat their arch rivals Hampton to make it out the region who whooped them in the regular season 47-7 with their qb playing

In D, I think both Reg Semifinal games will be very good. I could honestly see any of those top 4 winning the Region.
