Unbeatens Phoebus and Green Run joined by Oscar Smith, Maury and Warwick as top seeds in region football pairings

Phoebus and Green Run — the only remaining unbeaten teams in Hampton Roads — as expected earned top seeds in their Region A football tournaments, the Virginia High School announced Sunday.

The seedings are determined by the VHSL’s power ratings.

The Phantoms (10-0), defending Class 3 state champions, are coming off a convincing 56-0 victory over Oscar Smith on Saturday at Darling Stadium. Phoebus opens the Class 3 Region A playoffs at Darling against No. 8 seed York.

Green Run (10-0), after a second straight unbeaten regular season in the Beach District, opens the Class 5 Region A Tournament at home against No. 8 seed Hickory, which earned the final spot in a tie-breaker over First Colonial.

Oscar Smith, the defending state champion in Class 6, held onto a No. 1 seed despite the loss to Phoebus. The Tigers host No. 8 Kellam in Class 6 Region A.

Maury has a first-round bye in the Class 5 Region B Tournament as the top seed, and Nansemond River — after an upset of King’s Fork on Friday — nabbed the second seed and a first-round bye in a tie-breaker over Kecoughtan. Both teams finished the regular season 7-3 with 27.7 power rating.

Warwick is the top seed in Class 4 Region A and hosts No. 8 Hampton.

In private school football, only two Hampton Roads teams qualified for the VISAA postseason. In Division II, Atlantic Shores will visit Nansemond-Suffolk at 7 p.m. Friday in a semifinal.
