(Oct. 23, 2006) – In the lates VHSL football ratings released today,
Stone Bridge High School continues to lead the Northern Region Division
5 points race with Park View No. 2 in Region II Division 4.

playoff teams make the postseason in each division or eight teams from
each region. After the four district champions are determined in each
region, then the remaining four playoff spots are allocated to the
teams with the highest points ratings. District title ties are also
broken by the all-important points ratings.

24.6 points followed by Yorktown (22.4), South County (22.3) and Edison
