Broad Run, Lake Taylor, Louisa, Glass (yes I know Salem is ranked first in region but without question Glass has been the favorite all year.)
How many will win their region?
Who is most likely to get upset?
Who will win it all?
IF all four are close to full strength, I’d say they all will probably win their regions. However, both Broad Run and Louisa seem to be dealing with injuries to their quarterbacks; I don’t know the severity of those injuries, or how long those players will be out. But that could conceivably open the door for others in their respective regions, such as Tuscarora or even Liberty in C, and Eastern View or Dinwiddie in B. I’m certainly not giving up on Salem. I think if the Spartans face Glass, they
could give the Hilltoppers all they want - IF they were to play as well as they are capable. But who knows if Salem would play that well, or if that indeed would be enough. As you indicated, there’s good reason why Glass has been the Region D favorite since April.
I think Broad Run might be the most likely to be upset, due chiefly to the fact that Tuscarora already showed that they are very capable of beating Broad Run. And that was when Broad Run’s qb wasn’t dealing with an injury, if I’m not mistaken. A healthy Broad Run might be the overall favorite statewide, but they have the misfortune of having the team that very well could be the overall second-favorite in their region.
I still see whoever survives between Broad Run and Tuscarora as most likely to win it all, followed by E. C. Glass. No disrespect meant towards any of the contenders from the other regions, most of whom could very well be capable of doing it.
