Saturday results from Virginian-Pilot

VISAA Tournament
First round

Bishop O'Connell 13, Bishop Ireton 9
Blue Ridge 15, Collegiate 13
St. Anne's-Belfield 18, Cape Henry 7
Norfolk Academy 17, Woodberry Forest 11
G-NA, Looney 6, Mele 3, D. Smythe 3, Inderlied 2, Smith, MacMillan, Duffy; WFS, Chitwood 4, Schnabel 4, Daniels 2, Hudson.

For O'Connell, a recovery after getting beaten by BI in the WCAC regular season.

That makes quarterfinals on Tuesday of:

#2 St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes vs. O'Connell (Haven't played this year)
#3 Episcopal HS vs. STAB (Episcopal won 13-11 earlier this year)
#4 Paul VI vs. Norfolk Academy (PVI won 11-9 earlier this year)

Predicting just one upset: STAB to win. Face off and Def weak links as always. Offense showing results that was always promised. Seniors Connor Shellenberger, Trent Moran and Emmett Barger should put team on collective shoulders and carry them through this game.

Close game when they played on 4/6 in C'ville. If NA travels well to Nova, could see an upset vs. PVI too. PVI lost to SJC 14-5 Friday.

I’m definitely not predicting an upset but BR should give St. Chris a better game than they did during the regular season matchup. Should be 4 really good games tomorrow!

no doubt...BRS had trouble with St.C pressure last game. They'll know what to expect this time.

St. C will also know who carries BRS and who does not. Face offs will go a long way here. St. C would love to limit BRS' possessions and St. C's FO man has been good all season. As an added point, St. C's middies really work the defensive end.

D&D - Over the years, St.C lax has done a great job recruiting DMs from the FB team.

So (I think)
St. C. vs PVI
SSSA vs STAB

if so, then ST. C vs SSSA is my prediction for finals.

Starting to think regardless of who I think would win, I would like St C. to win...Undefeated ST C would be ranked higher than any other outcome so Va can have a HS team get some national recognition.

D&D,

Your bracket is correct. I have to agree with you on the favorites for the championship game as well. The latest UA/IL national rankings had SSSAS at #21 and STC at #25. That ranking has to based on the strength of schedule for SSSAS because they lost to STC head to head earlier in the season. Either way the four remaining teams definitely deserve to still be playing.

Congrats SSSA. Certainly peaking at right time. Not sure of other teams’ status but 2020 will be a lean year for STAB unless players are brought in.

8 players on STAB & Albemarle started playing together 12 years ago. 4 going D1, 2 going D3, 1 going to Europe for a year and not sure on 8th.
