Any predictions for the Fairfax HS Regional this weekend?

Any predictions for the Fairfax HS Regional this weekend?

As most of the teams attending the Fairfax Regional don't attend many tournaments outside of the Fairfax & Lake Braddock Invitational, I'm mostly going to be using those tournaments to justify my rankings.

Division B:
1. Lake Braddock (Had a decent showing at LB Invitational and I know they are on the rise (new coach) after a really bad 2017-18 season)
2. J. Michael Lunsford (Performed pretty poorly at LB Invy, but since they do well historically I'm putting them second)
3. Willow Springs (Actually a good turnout at LB, I would put them at second but I'm not sure how much they worked on the events they no-showed at LB)
4. South County (Both South County and Trailside are pretty equal, but I think SOCO has the edge this year, especially if they polish up some events)
5. Trailside

Division C:
1. Langley (Pretty obvious winner, curious to see how low they can go with scores - what I'm more interested in is the TJ - Langley - Fairfax - LB - Woodson states clash)
2. Westfield (Although Madison did better than Westfield at Fairfax, I think if Westfield just polishes a few events they have a much better chance)
3. James Madison
4. Chantilly (Chantilly and Centreville scored pretty close at Fairfax, though many of Chantilly's events were no-show so I believe that they'll do much better at regionals)
5. Centreville

5. Centreville

B: Lake Braddock as 1 would be my choice as well. For 2, I don't think it should be Lunsford, and, believe it or not, I'd actually put Kent Gardens, because they were quite strong at LB. 3-5 seems pretty accurate, but I'd then substitute Lunsford for Trailside.

C: Definitely agree with 1. Can't really give my opinion for the rest because I don't know Division C that well. Virginia Div C hasn't really been dominated by a team yet, but TJ seems to be emerging as the Div C powerhouse of VA atm, with a 6th place finish (I believe) at the UPenn Invitational against many out-of-state, nationally-ranked teams (like Boca Raton, Ward Melville, Harriton, etc.) I think they also got 12th at Nationals last year. I honestly think states will be a repeat of last year for Division C, as no results really point otherwise right now.

If anyone's curious, here is the situation right now with Virginia States and COVID-19:

• For the last few days, VASO has stated that the decision to cancel States on 3/28 would fully be in the hands of UVA, the host.

• Today, UVA released an announcement that banned all events on the campus with more than 100 people from occurring, meaning that States can not occur at UVA.

• Also today, the State Board concluded that the States tournament is considered being postponed.

Sources can be found on the COVID-19 Wiki page.

VASO has officially cancelled the 2020 States Tournament, and it will not be rescheduled. I know it was expected given nats being cancelled too, but it still sucks every time i have to read something about this (( see you guys next season i guess, and please stay healthy
