Liberty High School lost four of its final five football games to finish the regular season 5-5. Lord Botetourt rallied to a 4-6 record. And guess what? They play each other this week — in the first round of the Region III playoffs. Nothing against the Minutemen and Cavaliers, who are simply playing by the rules, but shouldn’t the VHSL demand a little more out of schools in order to make the postseason? Getting to the playoffs should be an honor bestowed on a select few. Instead, the outcry from many coaches and parents is for more trophies, more ribbons and more postseason participation. High school sports needn’t be ruthless competition, but they shouldn’t be Little League either.

The debut episode of the Sports TimesCast: High School edition launched Tuesday on roanoke.com.

Instead of Doug Doughty and Randy King, the HS sportscast features Aaron McFarling and Robert Anderson. Each Tuesday, Aaron and Robert will provide recaps and analysis of previous games while looking to the week ahead.

The final full scrimmage for the Virginia Tech football team will now be open to the public, after all.

Tech coach Frank Beamer encouraged fans to attend Friday's intrasquad scrimmage -- which was originally scheduled to be closed to the public -- at Lane Stadium

"With where we are as a football team, especially in the kicking game, this is the right thing for us," Beamer said in a news release. "I think we need people in the stands. This will be the closest we can get to that spring game we missed."

Projected starting kicker Jud Dunlevy went 0-for-4 on field goals in Saturday's second scrimmage, although two of them were from 52 yards out and one was blocked. The fifth-year senior will be a first-time starter, and Beamer has often said the only question mark about him is how he performs under pressure.

Fans can enter through gates 4 and 5 and beginning at 4 p.m. Fans can sit in the west side seats. No cameras or video cameras will be allowed in the stadium. Fans will not be permitted on the field at any time during or after the scrimmage.

Stretching and practice will begin at 4:15 with the scrimmage running from approximately 4:45-6:15 p.m.
