Yep. 100% self inflicted by politics and the kids are the ones who got the short end of the stick. I hate it for those girls. They 100% should be in the regional tournament. VHS and Tazewell finished the season with sub-.500 records and both got in.
I’ve been doing some statistical research today, and one of my items of interest was percentage of population age 18 and under. If I’m not mistaken, Grayson is one of the 3 lowest in Virginia in terms of percentage of population under age 18.
Folks in Grayson County are very upset not to have made the Regional tournament in softball after finishing with a record of 13-6. By choosing not to enter the SWD and remain in the MED, 12 of their 19 opponents were 1A. This will only continue for other sports as well as long as they play down in competition.
Didn't several folks on this forum predict such an outcome? I think maybe I was one of them!
In all seriousness there's tons of talent on that bunch coming up at Central and folks who have been paying attention to the feeder games know this. The looming question is will they have a solid coaching outfit to put it to use?
