Need to put Uncle Percy on the VHSL classification committee. Those 2 teams, guess you are talking about GW and Grayson Co., might get to stay in their District but state playoffs it would be Division 2 for both of them.

What percentage of McDowell County kids does the VHSL count as the future Tazewell County population?

That’s what the article said multiple times

Search, multi state? No way then

According to the article he had only been teaching and coach one year at wise and maybe one year overall I don’t think he was a coordinator I could be wrong. Nothing against the guy I hope he does well but it looks like they had to promote from within because there wasn’t any teaching job open. That usually makes it tough on a school to hire when the head coach steps down but is still teaching. If you are gonna have a multi state search you gotta have a teaching job open

so i cant get the article to open, how long was he a coordinator and coaching at Wise. I remember him playing i think at Powell Valley ?

Heard the interim coach Mike Collins was hired.

Totally off topic here but a little nostalgia hit me on my recent week long trip to Indiana and not just the visit to the Knightstown gym where Hoosiers was filmed. In the 4A state high school basketball championship game, Fishers High School were victorious. Fishers are the Tigers, and their uniforms are red and white. It was good to see a group of Red Tigers win a state title in person, even if it wasn't our old alma mater. 🙂

Well there are two teams close to each other that should be in class 2 and not 1...

LOL my bad

Redtiger as in Haysi, not Honaker. Idk for sure what Tiller and company have returning.

To quote a wise man, "Tom Turner has more coaching knowledge in his chaw spit than your head coach."

Redtiger does Honaker have a lot returning this year? Did y'all graduate a lot?

Traditional regional boundaries, at least as far as D/C have been moving East for some time. As Far SWVA continues to lose population that will continue, consolidation won't change that

It will if the post before mine, the one I was responding to, happens. Lebanon, Marion, Richlands and Graham all drop to Class 1. That’s a big “if” but based on the question the previous post was asking, something would need to change. Most likely a redraw of traditional regional boundaries. It’s more likely, nothing really changes.

Well, the situation in Israel just got worse... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-launches-drone-attack-toward-israel-idf-says/

That will become 13/13 when (if) Grundy's new school opens, so nothing needs changed.

Ridgeview is -600, which is crazy to me. When I was in school consolidation was discussed and the school would have had nearly 900 students. Which, that was a few decades ago. Idk if Union will drop that much in 10 years or not, Wise Co just built additional rooms at Union Primary due to a growing enrollment. Imo the 20 year projection is more likely

Wow I didn’t know they had him for another year. However it is hard to build a team around one great lineman. Easier to do with a great skill player

Union is around 575 and central 690 currently

Goodspeed was a senior. Barrett returns.

At the current set up I see Union and Ridgeview dropping in 10-20 years if not sooner.

1D currently has 16 teams. 2D currently has 12 teams. 1C currently has 13 teams. 2C currently has 12 teams. 1B has 12 2B has 11 1A has 13 2A has 14 Traditional regional boundaries will have to be adjusted if many teams move up or down a classification at the same time.

I think they are going to have to move the lines for class 1 just to keep the classifications even right now Region 1D has 16 teams and 2D has 12 but Lebanon could drop down to class 1 at any time and enrollment for Richlands and Marion are dipping below the 600 mark for the first time in a long with the popularity of virtual home school on the rise. I know Graham is close to that class 1 line as well. I do not know what the other side of the state looks like as enrollment for class 1 but sooner rather than later we might be in a situation where 2D is down to 10 or maybe even 9 teams which would make the Region playoffs even easier to get into which I know a lot of people on here hate.

Any current expectations for schools moving up/down and/or changing districts (based, of course, on general observations within your respective communities)??
