I'm curious, is this just a feeling or is it something you see in the matchup with Tuscarora and Atlee?

I just look at who Atlee plays and who Tusky plays and Atlee played in one of the toughest districts in the state. The capital district is similar to the SEC. Tusky knows how to win so maybe they'll prevail. Atlee is battle tested. We shall see.

You are the second person I have heard this week that equated the Capital District to the SEC.
As it stands at this time the Capital has 4 teams left, the Central 3, Dominion 2 and of course Colonial 1. Two Capital teams are facing off against one another so we are sure to lose one. The other two must face the Central District and Potomac District so I guess we will find out just how much playing in the Capital pays off.

Tuscarora is a darn good football team and their schedule was by no means easy. Expecting any less that a state championship caliber team when you play them is a mistake.

I can't equate any district with the SEC unless they win a lot of state championships. The Concorde has been that district in the past, but this year the Concorde got handled by Loudoun schools.

How many teams did each district start with in the playoffs. I know the Central had everyone except Prince George so that's 7

Hylton. All of us except Matt are wrong. Dale is going to win. I've just got to go with the odds instead of my gut.

Atlee should've won. The refs didn't call holding all game. Atlee was up 14-0 and lost the game.
