All Activity

Hogo will be Monday @ Rural Retreat. MED will be Tuesday @ Giles. Reg. 1D will be Fri., 2/13 @ Grundy High. If Friday doesn't work due to the weather, I expect it would be on Thursday, like in the old days. 1C/B Super will be Sat. @ Bath Co. 1A/B Super was Sat. @ Mathews, which won with 4 champs & 3 2nds. 2D will be Sat. @ Richlands Middle. 2C will be Sat. @ Liberty (Bedford). 2A was ppd. to Sat. @ Poquoson. 3D was Sat. @ Staunton River - won by Cave Spring; Abingdon's Michael Maxfield took 1st @ 157.

I've said 5 for decades. Around 320 schools in VA, so... hmmm... 64 teams per class, 16 per Region. Top 8 from each Region makes the playoffs, so half the schools get in.

Forgot to mention that Eastside & Southern Gap will play as their replacements for Hurley.

Battle may be the only team a SWD team can beat in girls action in the M7.

Hope not.

I like the idea of 4 classifications. I think the cutoff for 1 A should be around 450 (3 grades) or 600 (4 grades). 6 is too watered down. Maybe go to 5 as a conpromise?

SWD girls is very weak. Lebanon probably has best overall talent. M7 will dominate the girls regional playoffs. Boys probably close to even as far as top teams from M7 & SWD.

Gap between the SWD in M7 in boys is still minuscule compared to the gap in girls. Wow. 7-8 tied for second in SWD would be near bottom in M7

That seems to be the best argument for the current system. I don’t understand why people want to change something that’s working?

And that is why this will never happen.

SWD Boys 1. Graham- 14-2 (7-0) @Lebanon, Richlands, @Marion 2. Lebanon- 17-3 (6-1) Graham, @Marion, Virginia High 3. Marion- 12-8 (4-3) Tazewell, Lebanon, Graham 4. Richlands- 11-7 (3-4) @Virginia High, @Graham, @Tazewell 5. Tazewell- 7-13 (1-6) Virginia High, @Marion, Richlands 6. Virginia High- 0-17 (0-7) @Tazewell, Richlands, @Lebanon SWD Girls 1. Lebanon- 15-6 (6-1) Graham, @Marion, Virginia High 2. Marion- 14-5 (5-2) Tazewell, Lebanon, Graham 2. Virginia High- 7-8 (5-2) @Tazewell, Richlands, @Lebanon 4. Graham- 5-9 (4-3) @Lebanon, Richlands, @Marion 5. Richlands- 2-14 (1-6) @Virginia High, @Graham, @Tazewell 6. Tazewell- 0-21 (0-7) Virginia High, @Marion, Richlands Very likely that on both the boys and girls side there will be a playoff game for first place.

Right now on the girls side, Central is at 1, Union is 2, Ridgeview is 3, and Abingdon is 4

If VHSL reclassifies it's a grave mistake. Plus they make more money with this current format.

I can't say this is completely accurate and won't do records due to all the weather moves. Cumberland Boys 1 Eastside 2 Twin Springs 3 Rye Cove 4 JI Burton 5 Thomas Walker 6 Castlewood Cumberland Girls 1 Twin Springs 2 Eastside 3 Rye Cove 4 Castlewood 5 Thomas Walker 6 JI Burton I think Eastside TS and RC all have to play each other again. Eastside at RC Tuesday and RC goes to TS on Friday. Gonna be a hectic week for everyone though.

Oh yeah this is 100% someone from NOVA just throwing something out there. I know people on here have been against sub .500 teams not deserving to make the play off but that doesn’t happen that often and when the do it’s a tune up game for the 1 seed. But the difference between 1 and 2 is huge you would be potentially cutting 1a out of post season consideration completely

I believe Abingdon won the district again in 2022 which would have been Evan Ramsey's senior year.

I only know M7. Can others post Class 1 and Class 2 girls and boys? M7 Girls Central will win barring being upset by RV - Union, Abingdon, RV should be 2-4 in that order with GC at 5. M7 Boys Abingdon and Union have two loses each and are tied going into final week. They play Thursday at Abingdon. Prior to that, Abingdon plays GC with Union playing RV and Lee. Central and GC are tied for 3rd and only a game back. They play each other this week. The loser of this is basically out. NOTE - if Abingdon beats Union then the GC/Central winner would have a chance of tying Union for the top spot in Class 2 and hosting 2D Tournament. Assuming Union beats Lee and RV, the Bears can still get top class 2 seed with a loss to Abingdon if GC beats Central and Abingdon beats GC. If memory serves, neither Union or Abingdon has won the M7 in boys since the two shared the title during the COVID season when both teams played for a state title.

Union held on for the victory and they currently lead M7 IIRC

Agreed. Id rather a non deserving team make it as opposed to a deserving team getting left out.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it appears to be a "proposal" by some random blogger on Facebook . The VHSL would laugh this guy out of the room. There's no known universe where the VH$L will cut out two classifications and lose the revenue from 62 total playoff games. It'd be an unmitigated disaster for Class A teams in SWVA as well.

Very unfair for Class A; keeping six classes is more advantageous for VHSL in general. I don’t foresee this movement getting any traction in Charlottesville.

Union Gate City going to 2OT.
