Yes, Luv, it is quite painful. WB lost 3 regular season games in 2010 (once to Indian River and twice to Great Bridge) but then had that great run to the state semifinals. In 2011, WB lost only 2 regular season district games, splitting with Nansemond River and Great Bridge. And we saw how far both of those teams went. This year, WB lost 3 regular season games, splitting with Hickory, Nansemond River and Great Bridge. We will watch to see how far they go. Frustrating to tie for the regular season and be sitting home on Memorial Day.
I still contend that our Regional Tournament should be somewhat more inclusive. Not drastically, but I agree with the sentiment. Knowing very well, that both WB and Hickory are two of the top 10 teams in the state, much less the region. The SED, with such a deep and consistent talent pool, has for years, and will continue to be impacted negatively by the current regional playoff system.
