I didn't look at the bonus points the top teams would have picked up, but just based on their games tonight, Westfield and LB were a point difference. So they could switch.

Can you guys stop all the hate and racism on here? Calling people bitch ass niggers makes no grammatical sense, and is really uncalled for. Congratulations to the niggers from South County for defeating Lake Braddock. Lake Braddock is overrated and will not make it out of the 2nd round. South County is dangerous. If those niggers can just hang on to the ball, look out!

I wouldn't say the turnovers as much as the very bad penalties they take. They go on scoring drives then just shoot themselves in the foot with bad penalties.

Example: during game last night those soso refs call a LB player down after a jarring hit, ball comes out soco does scoop and score but gets a block in back penalty unnecessarily at the 5 yd. line. LB ends up keeping possession and getting and unnecessary roughness penalty to go along with it.

As predicted, a great final week of regular season football. I botched the big one, but real strong week of scoring lines too. Cannot wait for an exciting playoff where it is up for grabs in both 6A and 5A.

South County @ Lake Braddock (-8.0)
*South County won 33-30. Kudos to the Stallions defense who figured out Braddock after trailing 27-7; I would love to see a rematch, but I think Westfield will have something to say about that in the playoffs.

Annandale @ West Springfield (-10.0)
*West Springfield won 43-34.

Chantilly @ Westfield (-15.0)
*Westfield won 28-14. Typical Westfield-Chantilly game, where Westfield dominated, and Chantilly got a couple late TDs in garbage time.

Edison @ Potomac Falls (-35.0)
*Potomac Falls won 38-7.

Fairfax @ South Lakes (-21.0)
*South Lakes won 46-7.

Hayfield @ Madison (-7.0)
*Madison won 53-20. I finally got to see some tape on them and they have some huge players. I’ve probably underestimated them a lot this season. I do think they got a tough matchup with Chantilly in round 1 though.

Jefferson @ Marshall (-35.0)
*Marshall won 52-7.

Langley (-10.0) @ McLean
*Langley won 27-7.

Lee @ Wakefield (-28.0)
*Wakefield won 50-18.

Mount Vernon @ West Potomac (-35.5)
*West Potomac won 40-6.

Oakton (-18.0) @ Herndon
*Oakton won 35-0.

Robinson (-7.0) @ Centreville
*Robinson won 28-7; Rams had a very strong season and are poised for a run of their own.

Stone Bridge (-13.0) @ Briar Woods
*Stone Bridge won 28-17.

Stuart @ Falls Church (-3.0)
*Falls Church won 35-14.

Tuscarora (-10.0) @ Broad Run
*This rivaled Braddock-SC for most exciting game of the night; Tuscarora finishes 10-0 with a 43-42 win.

Washington-Lee (-1.0) @ Yorktown
*Washington-Lee won 54-7; surprise score of the night, boy did the Generals deliver a beat down for a playoff spot.

Woodson @ TC Williams (-2.0)
*Woodson won today, dumb pick on my part to favor the Titans.

Funny how the brackets worked out. In 1 quartile you have 4 Patriot District teams, in another you have 3 Concorde’s; honestly beyond the top 3 seeds, everyone is really vulnerable this week. Lots of great games, the 5A margins are tough knowing little about the competition.

6A
16 Annandale @ 1 South County (-25.0)
*Annandale had a very solid season, but no way they come out of Lorton with a W.

9 West Potomac @ 8 West Springfield (-3.0)
*I know West Springfield smoked West Po last time, but I can see this going either way. I look for the home team to win a close one. It is very interesting that this quartile of the bracket has all Patriot District teams.

12 Centreville @ 5 Robinson (-7.5)
*I know Robinson won comfortably last night, but I am a big Coach Haddock fan, he will make some adjustments and this will be a great game too.

13 Chantilly @ 4 Madison (-10.0)
*Chantilly is limping in with 3 straight losses while Madison comes in on a 9 game winning streak. Chantilly’s offensive line has struggled this year and I’m not crazy about the matchup. That being said for a 9-1 team to draw Chantilly, the Chargers have the fire power to pull this one off… This has great game potential too.

14 Washington-Lee @ 3 Westfield (-14.0)
*Washington-Lee is playing some strong football the past few weeks, they just don’t have the talent to beat Westfield even when they play their best.

11 Oakton (-7.0) @ 6 South Lakes
*I’m not a Liberty Conference believer, I think the battle tested Cougars strength of schedule will be the difference in this one.

10 Hayfield @ 7 Battlefield (-14.0)

15 WT Woodson @ 2 Lake Braddock (-35.5)

Local 5A
9 Potomac Falls (-14.0) @ 8 Wakefield

12 Orange @ 5 Stone Bridge (-28.0)

13 Briar Woods @ 4 Broad Run (-7.0)
*Very tough draw for the Spartans, but the Spartans are the better team.

14 Marshall @ 3 Brooke Point (-30.0)

15 Patrick Henry @ 2 Tuscarora (-17.0)

Steve, once again, great job on the lines. Yes, you missed SC/LB, but not only did you call most of the remaining games correctly, you got the spread about spot on. Keep up the good work (playoffs and next season, too, please).

One minor note: I am noticing some discrepancies on the W-L Yorktown score. You report it as 54-7, and I saw a report of that as well, but if you look at the W-L twitter feed for the game, they report a final score of 27-7. I think that twitter feed is more believable.

Regardless of the score of the Yorktown game, kudos to WL's coaching staff for turning their season around. They were left for dead after bad loss to South Lakes to send them to 1-4 on the season, but credit to their coaching staff for making a major adjustment to allow them to go 4-1 down the stretch, with their lone loss a 21-13 defeat at the hands of Madison (playing Madison much closer than most would have expected). I'd like to suggest that their coach be in the conversation for coach of the year.

Congratulations to all the teams that made the playoffs

A 16 team playoff is too many for highschool football. Woodson v Lake Braddock? A 4 win team in a playoff is ludicrous... They have complete ass whippings against the top teams.. 61 to ZERO 56 to ZERO? Unless the entire first string of Lake Braddock is hurt of suspended, they are going to beat Woodson 100 out of100 times as Woodson could do nothing on offense or defense in that matchup.

Playoff field should be 8 to boil down the teams that really deserve to be there.

Thanks for pointing out the Yorktown score, they does lose 27-7 which makes a lot more sense.

Westfield and Robinson can compete with anyone at any location.
Robinson has a ground and pound offense and will eat the clock and limit the opponents snaps.
Westfield is back to full strength and the offense is clicking finally, add a top tier defensive unit and they will be a tough matchup for anyone.
Ask LB fans how the feel about seeing Westfield on their side of the bracket!!

As much as people are complaining about the 16 team regional playoffs, could you imagine how much complaining would go on if it were reduced to 8? The Conf 5 Concorde folks (Oakton, Chantilly, C-ville all #11 or lower seeds this year) would be complaining about how their tough schedule hurt them more than other schools while schools like West Potomac (#9) would be saying how does a 7-3 record keep you out of the playoffs?

A possible solution would be to give the #1 and #2 seeds a bye but then they would have to play a decent #6 or #7 seed in the next round and if they lost those folks would complain about losing their game rhythm due to the bye. There are plenty of mismatches during the regular season, if a 1-16 or 2-15 matchup bothers you so much then don't pay any attention to the regional playoffs until the 2nd round.

With the regular season over, it's now time to start thinking about all conference teams, and coach of the year awards. I think in conference 6, the leading candidates would have to be Madison's head coach, Washington-Lee's head coach, and South Lakes head coach. I want to give my thoughts on the two of these who should be under consideration and who should not be.

Madison's head coach deserves consideration. Most people thought they would have a good team, but didn't think they would win Conference 6. As it turned out, they lead wire to wire and ended up winning the conference. They compiled a 9-1 record, with the lone loss in their first game v. Oakton. That means they made the adjustments necessary after a loss that could have gotten them down. Let's also not forget that they are only two years removed from a 1-9 season, so this season represents the completion of a remarkable turnaround.

I'd also say that Washington-Lee's head coach deserves consideration. W-L was lightly regarded at the beginning of the season, and their early performance bore this out. However, they had the courage to make a major adjustment at QB, which proved to be the basis for turning around their season, sparking a 4-1 finish and a 5-5 record with a playoff berth. Rather than benching their QB, they found a better place for him to be a contributor. That's what a quality coach does.

Of the remaining six Conference 6 head coaches, the only one that would seem to deserve consideration is Trey Taylor, HC at South Lakes. They have to be in the conversation based South Lakes' remarkable turnaround this year. However, I hope that sportsmanship, as well as coaching ability is a consideration in making this award. If it is, a totally bush league move by South Lakes in the Fairfax game should disqualify the South Lakes head coach. Late in the second quarter, after a Fairfax turnover deep in South Lakes territory, South Lakes scored a touchdown to go up 41-7. South Lakes had two consecutive false start penalties on the extra point, and decided after that to go for two. They made the two point conversion. There is nothing wrong with that, as he probably thought his kicker didn't have the leg for that long of a kick. That's not the problem. The problem was his bush league decision to try an on-side kick on the ensuing kickoff. That was totally unnecessary. South Lakes had the game well in hand. A head coach with class who has the game well in hand will not humiliate a bunch of kids who have done nothing to him and have already suffered enough in a thoroughly disappointing season.

I hope that this is taken into consideration in making this award, and that the award goes to either Madison's or Washington-Lee's head coach.

I was at the game and didn't get the purpose of the onside kick either. I've gone to all the home games and haven't seen them do that in any other game that SL was in complete control of (Herndon game comes to mind). I wondered if it was payback for something the Fairfax coach did last year when everyone was kicking SL's butt but I didn't hear of anything coming from that game. I have daughters at SL so I'm not a football insider.

A thought that did come to mind is that I remember people complaining about SoCo doing this sort of thing and there is no doubt that Taylor's blueprint for building the SL program is SoCo. It should be mentioned that SL played all backups the entire second half against Fairfax. SL intercepted a pass early in the 3rd quarter and returned it inside the 10 and couldn't punch it in with their backups. The resulting field goal were the only points of the second half.

play till there are 4 00:00 on the clock. People talk about life lessons, well there is one there and that is people DON"T have to and WON'T give you anything, if you want it go out and take it. You don't want it to happen well then recover it. That's the problem with people today, they feel as if its owed to them to not get beat down, if it happens SO WHAT coach em up and learn from it. Im sure he will get his whenever it happens. IMO, that's like saying give me a participation trophy just for showing up.

Sometimes it may become personal between coaches, well the kids take on the persona of there coach, if he is fire they are fire if he is water they are water. Pretty simple to me

Thanks for your comments. If it is payback, I can't imagine what that would be. Last year, Fairfax beat South Lakes, but only 16-7. That's hardly running up the score. I am a football parent. My concern is how the boys might have reacted to that. It's already been a disappointing season, but, believe it or not, there are plenty of boys on our team that care about how they perform and feel totally let down. Plenty of parents feel that way as well. Something like that could lead to chippy play in the second half, possibly leading to a fight on the field. No purpose is served by that, and no one wants to see it. I just want to see the game played, played well on both sides, and for as many players as possible to come out healthy after the game.

I'm sure a lot of backups played the entire second half, but I don't think it was all back ups. There was a big linemen (very noticeable for his size), who I seem to remember being out there for a few series in the second half. Perhaps this is because South Lakes doesn't have enough depth at the line positions to go with all backups. I don't remember his number.

If this is just one isolated incident as you suggest, I'll retract my remarks about Taylor. I don't retract my remarks about the other coaches mentioned, because their performance suggests that they deserve mention for this honor.

Actually, Fairfax did recover the onside kick so they ended up with good field position from it. I said I didn't get it but I don't auto-presume it to be poor sportsmanship. Most good coaches in any sport want their kids to play hard in their style against everyone they play as if the score was 0-0. Taylor probably would have left his starters in for the 2nd half if he wanted to run up the score.

Westfield and Robinson can compete with anyone at any location.
Robinson has a ground and pound offense and will eat the clock and limit the opponents snaps.
Westfield is back to full strength and the offense is clicking finally, add a top tier defensive unit and they will be a tough matchup for anyone.
Ask LB fans how the feel about seeing Westfield on their side of the bracket!!

----------------------------

Agree with everything except Westfield being back to full strength. They lost their best OL, Ohanian, to a shoulder injury. They lost probably their best all around player and only D1 FBS recruit Clancy, LB/TE/FB, to a torn ACL.

Anyone who knows Westfield football realizes how nice it would be to have a capable blocker on the OL which is what they lost in Ohanian. With Clancy not only a great all around player but clearly their most intense player, defensive captain, and team captain.

Sure would be nice to have both these young men for the post season. But as is the mantra at Westfield like any other program it's next man up. Just hard to replace either of these two. The Bulldogs definitely struggle on the OL, weakest link on the team, and their run defense just isn't as strong, Robinson and Centreville games showed that.

Re: 16 teams in playoffs....one extra game will not matter. True their will be some blowouts, but there are some very good things about the extra game. The top seeds, if they are in control can reward many of the younger players who have buster their tail all year to play in a playoff game. The lower seeded team gets at least on more week to play. Teams on the rise appreciate that. Like Woodson this year.

If it really just about better football, maybe just give conference 6 three spots, conference 5 five spots, and conference 7 two and cardinal one spot. I am kidding. Let's see this week what happens with the 9-13 seeds this week. The rest of those games will be good.


If you really want to do it right, give top 4 byes and let the next 8 play the first week.

I think you are reading too much into that onside kick attempt. Most coaches like to try 1 or 2 in live game situations throughout the year (unless you are South County and do it all the time) in case of need at some point.

What better time to try one than when you have just taken a commanding and more importantly - SAFE - lead?

Regarding playoffs -- This was an interesting discussion, but after reading all the viewpoints, I think 16 is right. There are double digit seeds who played arguably tough schedules, and they should get a shot. This means that they should get the opportunity to prove that they are a good team, but with a depressed record based on their strength of schedule. The only drawback of 16 is that it means that the regional playoffs take 4 weeks to complete, plus one additional week for the state championship. That's a lot of football to play.

Did u not see their defense dominate LB the whole second half on Friday? Talk about secondary they shut the passing attack down in the 4th quarter n overtime so don't see how u say they're not good.. Unless everyone else sucks. They're winning games with multiple turnovers by their offense and a coach who barely punts or kicks deep.

the LB kid dropped a TD on the first play of OT and a slant at the 1 yd line on the 2nd play. There were several other drops throughout the game LB completed passes with 3 soco kids covering one LB receiver. Downside of the single wing If they play again I would hope the LB coaches would go spread and let the QB who threw for 3000 and ran for 1000 and scored 67 on soco last year do what he does best

Disagree. I don't know that I would use a shutout of Robinson as evidence of a weak run defense. Robinson has a strong OL and tough stable of 3 big RB's. Other than Lee's 35 yard run Westfield was only giving up 3.9 yards a carry. I thought they kept Robinson's running game under control - they forced 4 punts and 3 turnovers on downs. Not bad. Centreville averaged about 3.3 yards a carry. Not bad again. They are not good enough to totally shut down strong offenses...

Actually, if you go by points allowed per game, this was Westfield's fourth best defensive season ever.

But no doubt, if they make it to the regional semis they will be an underdog. Unless their offense actually shows the ability to sustain consecutive drives throughout a game.

--------------------

I like your analysis, remember though, I didn't say Westfield's run defense was weak, just not as strong as it was. Not having Clancy patrolling the middle of the field making plays is a pretty sizeable loss. Petrillo has stepped up nicely but there is definitely a void.

On offense they don't have a premier RB like in the past but even a run of the mill one could be valuable with space to run. The OL for Westfield is a catastrophe, seems like even the majority of passing downs Scanlon's back there scrambling for his life.

I've been watchning the Bulldogs for 12 years now, can't ever remember an OL that was this weak. Even more amazing is there doesn't seem to be any progress from week to week. That unit will be their downfall in the post season unfortunately.

That receiver is SORRY refs bailed him out on two PIs made a good catch n run that was it 83 couldn't handle a db in his face at all anyone who has ever played past high school can tell. #11 had a great game looked like a lot of busted coverages though. In OT the kid kept getting his arms raked apart that's simply good corner play. Put this game to bed LB was scared to tackle big 40 even their "D1" players looked like they were avoiding contact or going in to hit With their eyes closed. I hope LB does spread them out the next time they play because #8 from LB is pedestrian and giving him the ball in single wing obviously won't work.

Just like the "catch" 9 made right? On game day u can clearly see the play blown dead the Wr even stopped. LB can't make any excuses when u lose while up 27-7 blame your coaching staff.

I agree it is not the strongest OL they have had in my memory either - but it is my opinion that people are overstating how bad they are. Coaches must agree because they have 1 1st Team All-District, 2 2nd team All-District and 1 Honorable Mention from the OL.

Hmmm... that's mighty confident. Common opponent results:

Madison 38, South Lakes 6
Oakton 31, Madison 25

South Lakes 50, Herndon 14
Oakton 35, Herndon 0

I would look for something like: Oakton 28, South Lakes 17.

SOCO started putting that wood to all of LB's little star wr's and slowly but surely they started getting them gator arms after getting smoked by the hits of soco.

#40 was a man and he and his hard running won that game.

LB was given so many opportunities it was awful, so don't talk about refs they were awful, but consistently awful, like #9 getting drilled and fumbles soco does scoop and score then get block in back penalty during that return and after what should of been a fumble pick 6 it ended up being a plus 15 for LB

Westfield is the no. 1 team in conference 5. They will have more kids on the all conference team then anyone else. Not an accurate representation of their offensive line skill. They do not have 1 player that belongs on 1st team from that offensive line. But you couldn't choose a running back, 3 of the receivers were part of the suspended crowd, hard to pick one of them and that leaves QB and Oline. So a deserving kid had his rightful honor traded away. Just the way it is.

Lot of kids on the list but only two position players on offense. One oline and one tight end. That is about right. WF is all about D this year. Offense was very inconsistent.

Oakton has a very formidable secondary, led be Beale, an all-district superstar who will shred the Seahawks on both sides of the ball. Bacon may not be the fastest, but he is certainly the most shifty receiver I've seen all season and is great in open space. Banbury will anchor a mediocre O_Line, but no worries, were going against a weak SL front 7 that gave up 50 points to Little Brother a.k.a. Madison.

Who would that be, not sure who you're referring to?

Also, agree with the above post, WF kicked one of their best players off the team and suspended the other 5 kids. Not sure what else they were supposed to do. Most schools would have probably kept the RB based off of athletic ability. They sure could use someone as dynamic as him now that's for sure.

Chantilly can but they have to play very well which they haven't recently. They have skill players as good as anyone in Conference 5 or 6 but they lack size and experience on both lines. It should be a fun game to watch.

Madison has played one formidable opponent all season... Against Oakton, who they again lost to for the 8th straight season. TILLY will beat cupcake-schedule Madison. TILLY could surprise some in the playoffs, Tamarro is the real deal.

The kid was arrested for drug possession. The coaches did nothing valiant, the player is no longer in school.

-------------------

He wasn't arrested, if he had been he would have been in jail since I believe he's 18. He was never apprehended, never taken in, and still walking the streets free.

Plus, the point was that WF did what they should have done, suspended those that deserved it and the same for the discarded RB. All in response to the previous poster who said the "thugs" at WF avoided serious punishment, they received what they deserved.

So I guess Stone Bridge isn't formidable? They may not be this year but they dispatch with Tilly and other than oakton is the two schools only common opponent. Oakton peaked early and Tilly has some playmakers but is soft as usual this year, I think Madison wins it in a close one.

Don't know who is posting for Oakton - Probably one of the parents that think they know it all in the stands. Look, we are lucky to be in the playoffs and we are going to play hard against the better seeded better record south lakes. Whoever is posting that doesn't speak for the team. South Lakes already proved they can beat us from a scrimmage at the beginning of the year. It is a tough game.

What teams are capable of winning the region?

Obviously Lake Braddock and South County are capable. Is there anyone else??

Answer: South County, Lake Braddock, Westfield and Robinson.

I think all four are pretty evenly matched. SOCO has defeated LB by 3 and WFD by 6. LB beat ROB by 7 and WFD beat ROB by 3. But as others have mentioned - it is hard to beat the same team twice in one season.

I really don't see anyone else with any chance at all.

I completely agree with your four. I have a seen all of those teams at least 2x as well as many others. Have not seen West Springfield or SLakes. I think your order is right too. I have no skin in this game. SC and LB are balanced offensively and very very athletic. Big too. LB will learn from the last game w/ SC...that could and likely will be a great final.

WF really is holding it together with a playground offense and a very good D. Eventually (LB on the road or SC) they just wont be able to get it done. Teams will send everyone at them and QB will have to just chuck it up. And with any bad weather, they are toast since they can't run at all.

Robinson can do it but so one dimensional on offense. They will have play flawlessly.

No one else really has a good shot at it.

Thanks for posting the lines. I'll take my shot at calling these games:

Agree with the nice words about Annandale, but also agree with the assessment of their chances against SC. I look for SC to win by 28. SC wins and covers

I'd have to think that West Springfield's loss to Woodson shook them out of any complacency they were feeling. I look for WS to win by seven. WS wins and covers.

It's hard to beat a team twice in the same season, but I think Robo will do that. But not comfortably. Robo wins, but doesn't cover.

Madison may not get respect due to being a Liberty/Conference 6 team, but they are the real deal. I think Madison wins by two TDs. Madison wins and covers.

I really admire what the WL coaching staff did to get the most out of the talent they had, finishing 4-1 down the stretch and playing Madison tough in their only loss. While taking nothing away from their personnel adjustments that lead to their success, two of those wins were against Langley and Fairfax, so I'm sure that WL grabbed two of those wins simply by outcoaching their opponents. However, I think the fairy tale season ends on Friday. I look for Westfield to win by 28. Westfield wins and covers.

South Lakes had a good season this year. I don't entirely agree that they are weak merely because they are a Liberty Team. Because I'm getting points, I'll take South lakes in this one. I really don't know who will win, though.

This is anyone's guess, but I'll take Battlefield to win and cover.

The fairy tale is over for Woodson, as well. I look for Braddock to stomp them. LB wins and covers.

6A
16 Annandale @ 1 South County (-25.0)
*Annandale had a very solid season, but no way they come out of Lorton with a W.

Yeah, this one's going to be a running clock for the second half. SC wins and covers.

9 West Potomac @ 8 West Springfield (-3.0)
*I know West Springfield smoked West Po last time, but I can see this going either way. I look for the home team to win a close one. It is very interesting that this quartile of the bracket has all Patriot District teams.

WP played their worst game of the season the first time around. Things will be different this time. WP wins by 7.


12 Centreville @ 5 Robinson (-7.5)
*I know Robinson won comfortably last night, but I am a big Coach Haddock fan, he will make some adjustments and this will be a great game too.

Robinson wins but doesn't cover.

13 Chantilly @ 4 Madison (-10.0)
*Chantilly is limping in with 3 straight losses while Madison comes in on a 9 game winning streak. Chantilly’s offensive line has struggled this year and I’m not crazy about the matchup. That being said for a 9-1 team to draw Chantilly, the Chargers have the fire power to pull this one off… This has great game potential too.

Madison wins but doesn't cover.

14 Washington-Lee @ 3 Westfield (-14.0)
*Washington-Lee is playing some strong football the past few weeks, they just don’t have the talent to beat Westfield even when they play their best.

Westfield wins by 21.

11 Oakton (-7.0) @ 6 South Lakes
*I’m not a Liberty Conference believer, I think the battle tested Cougars strength of schedule will be the difference in this one.

Oakton wins and covers.

10 Hayfield @ 7 Battlefield (-14.0)

Battlefield wins but doesn't cover.

15 WT Woodson @ 2 Lake Braddock (-35.5)

Woodson lacks the chemistry to beat Braddock. Braddock burns them by 36.

Soco wins and covers easily. Spread should probably be +10 higher.

Pretty much a pick em game for me, therefore I'll guess WP covers. I could see a 1-3 point win either way.

they just played last week and Robinson won by 21. Probably in ground and pound predictable manner at that. I don't see why this game would be any different or what adjustments Haddock could possibly make. Robinson wins and covers.

These top-Liberty vs. mid-Concorde games are tough to pick. Westfield and Robinson are clearly legit but everyone else in the Concorde is clearly down and this conference isn't nearly as deep as in years past. Madison has had a great year but their only quality wins have been against Stone Bridge (respectable but not what they used to be), South Lakes (much improved but not ready for prime time), and Hayfield (clearly overrated). I think Madison has a good qb, senior leadership, and is physical enough to win but I'm not sure they'll cover.

This spread should probably be 21+, Westfield wins and covers easily.

Oakton had a murders row stretch of games with Tusky, Robinson and Westfield early in the season. While that schedule would battle test anyone they got crushed by all of them which probably didn't do much for their confidence. Other than Madison in week 1 their only decent win was against C-ville and even that's questionable with them going 4-6. They finished with wins against Falls Church (why even schedule them?) and Herndon which are cannon fodder programs. I wouldn't be shocked by either team winning but I think SL will at least cover if not win outright at home.

>
> 10 Hayfield @ 7 Battlefield (-14.0)

Battlefield wins and covers easily.

>

Spread is about right, I'll say Woodson covers but loses by 35.

Playoffs should be good this year. LB and SC are the top dogs for sure. #25 from LB is tough to tackle and #9 from SC is a top 5 skill player in the region. However SC defense has struggled at times. I'm surprised the WS kid didn't get offered on that game alone.

Robinson is just too 1 dimensional and WF won't be able to score against the elite teams although their defense is the best in the area even without their D1 ILB.

If LB wants to win the region they need to make some changes on offense. They can ground and pound Most teams but that won't work against SC. They only had two offensive TD's against SC versus the route they put on them last year. They need to consider the spread. Ironically, they ran the ball the whole year until the final minutes against SC where they threw at the end of regulation and three straight times in OT.

If WS could stop the run they would have a legitimate chance because they have and can score on anyone. However, to win in the playoffs you have to be able to stop the run and they can't.

Football is for closeted faggots and nigger lovers. I do get a good laugh at all the fat white dads with their trophy wives (who are not aging well I might add) while they cheer on their son in a field of antiquated farm equipment. If you're white and watch the NFL, you're a fucking pussy and should just start sucking nigger dick since it's obviously a fantasy of yours. If you're not a nigger and play high school football - watch out for the niggers, they play dirty and don't like to lose. Most are also borderline retarded - it's a statistical fact.
