Coin flip gives Rockbridge boys No. 3 seed in Blue Ridge (updated)
Rockbridge County’s boys basketball team won a coin flip with Alleghany to determine the No. 3 seed for next week’s Blue Ridge District boys tournament.
As a result, Rockbridge will host Staunton River in a first-round game Monday, while Alleghany will host Lord Botetourt.
The Blue Ridge elected not to have Northside and Byrd meet in a playoff game to determine a regular-season champion because the two teams will be in different regional divisions. Byrd will be the Blue Ridge’s No. 1 seed in the Region III Division 4 bracket, while Northside will be the Blue Ridge’s No. 1 team in Division 3.
Northside won a tiebreaker over William Byrd for the No. 1 seed in the Blue Ridge tournament. The tiebreaker came down to the Blue Ridge’s third criterion — results against common nondistrict opponents. Northside’s 1-1 record against Cave Spring trumped Byrd’s 0-2 mark against the Knights, giving the Vikings the No. 1 seed.
Rockbridge and Alleghany needed the extra step to break their tie. Staunton River principal Michelle Morgan conducted the coin flip Friday and it came up roses for the Wildcats.
Therefore, the Rockbridge-Staunton River winner will play Byrd in a Tuesday semifinal at Staunton River. The Alleghany-Botetourt winner plays Northside.
It is possible that the Blue Ridge could have two consolation games on Thursday.
If Alleghany and Rockbridge both lose in the same round, they would meet in a consolation game for the No. 2 bid to the Division 3 tournament. The same would apply to Staunton River and Lord Botetourt in Division 4.

Hmm. So who plays Byrd.
Robert was obviously a little distracted while writing this..or someone else wrote it for him…The LB @ Alleghany winner will play Northside on Tuesday and Byrd is the BRD #1 seed in Region III, Divison 4. Would be nice to know if SR and LB will have to meet if they both lose Monday?
Apologies for that………..let’s try it again.
