#5 - Another thing to keep mind as the VHSL Football Playoffs get underway next week is that there are sure to be several first round re-matches of regular season games.

Just because Team A beat Team B easily by double-figures in September or October does not mean that result will be the same come November.

Can almost guarantee at least one - if not two, three, maybe even four - outcomes changing. #BOOKIT

#4 - Not to rain on the playoff parade, but Round 1 will likely be full of more yawns than spine-tingling finishes. History and data shows us that, given only seven of the 86 matchups in 2025 were decided by 7 points or less. There were 37 running clock margins, meaning victories by 35+ points.

So are we depressed about it? No, because Round 2 will come before you know it, and that's where we often separate the contenders from the pretenders with much more drama.

Simply enjoy the ride and savor the moment(s).
