Playoff Scenarios for Central and Southwest Virginia Football Friday Teams
Group AAA
Division 5 - G.W.-Danville is the 4 seed they would host Mountain View as of 11/1/12. The Eagles host Halifax County Friday in the final week of the regular season.
Division 6 – Patrick Henry would be on the road at Battlefield. A loss to a one win William Fleming team would not do the Patriots any good.

Group AA (compiled by Virginia Preps)
REGION III Division 4 (top 6 teams make the playoffs)
Heritage (vs EC Glass): Clinched playoff spot and first-round bye. A win should clinch the #1 seed, though there are scenarios where Amherst could pass them if both teams win.
Amherst County (vs Liberty): Clinched playoff spot and first-round bye. A win and some favorable bonus point breaks could see Amherst County grab the #1 seed.
Lord Botetourt (vs Northside): Clinched playoff spot. A win clinches #3 seed. A loss could see them drop to #4, but the bonus points seem to favor Lord Botetourt to keep the #3 spot even with a loss.
Jefferson Forest (vs Rustburg): Clinched playoff spot. A win almost certainly gets them a first-round home game. A loss could drop them to #6.
E.C. Glass (@ Heritage): Clinched playoff spot. A win and a Jefferson Forest loss would get them a first-round home game. A loss means they will be on the road in round one, either as the #5 or #6 seed.
William Byrd (vs Rockbridge): Win and they are in. A loss and they definitely need Turner Ashby to lose and may find themselves in a close points race with TA and perhaps Harrisonburg.
=====
Turner Ashby (@ Fort Defiance): A win and a William Byrd loss gets TA in the playoffs and they could get as high as the #5 seed. A loss and they're out.
Harrisonburg (vs Waynesboro): Need to win, have William Byrd and Turner Ashby lose and get the bonus points to fall in their favor to make it in as the #6 seed.
Staunton River: Out.
Broadway: Out.
-------------------------------
Region III Division 3 (top 6 teams make the playoffs)
Brookville (BYE): Clinched #1 seed.
R.E. Lee (@ Monticello): Clinched playoff spot. Win and they are #2. Lose and they can finish anywhere from #2 to #4.
Rockbridge County (@ William Byrd): Clinched playoff spot. Win and they are, at worst, #3. A win and an R.E. Lee loss and they are #2. A loss and they could drop to #5.
Liberty (@ Amherst): Clinched playoff spot. Win and they will host a first-round game with a very slim chance at the #2 seed. Lose and can finish anywhere from #4 to #6.
Northside (@ Lord Botetourt): Clinched playoff spot. Win and they could finish anywhere from #3 to #5. Lose and they will be on the road for the first round.

Hidden Valley (vs Cave Spring): Clinched playoff spot. Win and they will be, at worst, the #4 seed. Lose and they could drop to #5.

Blacksburg (@ Christiansburg): A win and a Bassett loss and they are in. If they both win or both lose, it will be close on bonus points, but Blacksburg looks to have a slight edge.

Marion (@ Abingdon): Clinched playoff spot and a first-round home game. A win and a Tunstall loss and they'll be #3. Otherwise, they'll be #4.
Abingdon (vs Marion): Win and they're in as the #5 seed. A loss combined with wins by Martinsville and Tazewell and they could miss the playoffs.

---------------------------------------------------
Group A
Eastern Division 1
Altavista had already clinched a playoff spots as they enter their bye week. The Colonels will get at least one home game.
It will be hard for William Campbell to fall out of the playoffs.
Right now, Parry McCluer is in at a 9 seed. They'd probably either go to Covington or Colonial Beach.
--------------------------------------
Eastern Division 2
Right now Buckingham is in at the 7 seed. As of now, it looks like they'd play Clarke County at home. Buckingham plays Bluestone at home this week.
Western Division 2
Here is what it looks like for local teams right now:
14 Stuarts Draft at 3 Dan River
10 Grayson Co. at 7 Gretna
13 James River at 4 John Battle
Appomattox is on the outside looking in right row. The Raiders have Gate City and Grundy ahead of them for the last playoff spot. Appomattox obviously needs to win against William Campbell then probably get some help.
-------------------------------------
Private Schools VISSA
Liberty Christian Academy plays at Benedictine (7-1). LCA has clinched a playoff spot but win against Benedictine would secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
VES plays at home Saturday against Christchurch (6-2) and with a win the Bishops could secure a home playoff game.
