Final Rankings

No Christiansburg, Blacksburg or Pulaski County? If Giles is considered SWVA then you have to consider those areas as well. Parts of Giles County is farther east than Blacksburg or Christiansburg and pretty much the entire county is farther east than Pulaski County.

Saying that Burton made the finals is not really a good rationale for putting them ahead of George Wythe. If thats the case you would have to put Haysi ahead of George Wythe as well because Haysi made the semi-finals. Fact is Burton would not have made the finals if they had to play who Haysi and GW had to play(Giles). Its hard to use that rational because all of these teams play in different divisions. Burton had an easier road to the finals than Haysi, George Wythe or Richlands had because they play in Division 1. If you base rankings in large part on how far a team made it in the playoffs then you almost have to separate your rankings into divisions.

IMO Burton could have beaten Haysi..

I don't know it would have been a good game but I think I would have to give Haysi the edge in that matchup

It would have been a good game but I don't think Burton's D could've matched us up front. It would've been good to watch their O against our D however

IMO it would have been a low scoring game no doubt..

I think Burton could beat them though.. just an opinion

Defantly Haysi was not head and shoulders above Burton and Burton could without a doubt win a game between the two teams. It would have been a heck of a matchup at least we will get to see it in a coupple of years when Haysi drops to Div 1 It should make Div 1 alot more competave come playoff time

They use to play each other the first week of the season

Burton should play them instead of Castlewood or St.Paul..

I agree it would have been a good game and nice for the fans to get to see the two best teams in the region play each other. Just another reason why realignment is necessary(not the current plan)

I think it would be a good Pickup for Burton but Haysi probably needs to fill out its schedule with AA schools and hope they do well so long as they are in Div 2 where a 9-1 record does not garentee you a playoff spot
