We would get more points playing 3a schools . But wins and losses affects that as well.

Beginning by admitting my own ignorance.... but is that actually happening? I thought the ratings were calibrated in some manner corresponding to classification (whereby you get greater benefit by beating schools in higher classification).
We would get more points playing a 3a school with same record and opponent record as a 2a school. That's my understanding
Welcome to the board. In '97, Gate City was in the Highlands district. They didn't rejoin the LPD until they dropped back down to A-Div 2 in 2000 I think.
I thought Dinwiddie was 4A. That's were they are listed on the master schedule and weekly ratings.
It is a problem but I'm happy to play schools like Ridgeview and Union that fill the stands . Driving to Christiansburg to win by 4tds and out number the home team in fans isnt much fun . Ridgeview showing up with all their Rowdy fans at Abingdon was awesome. Friday at Union was great so glad my son was able to experience what SW VA football is all about
All Washington Countys middle and Highschool special need students go to Abingdon. I have no idea how many that is , but Ahingdon is one of then smaller 3a schools. That being said I remember when we had 3 classifications and the same problems and no one complained. What a great game and Great atmosphere Friday at Union if the Gentleman that was complainings team had one we wouldnt be having this Discussion. Abingdon has picked up Tenn. High and Richlands next year and I look forward to the big game with both . Richlands are always a class act even in defeat.
Abingdon is much tougher physically than they were, and our line is much improved. Graham is very talented but the Falcons are as well . Abingdon will win this close game .
Heard Gate City's starters out scored Abingdon's starters 7 scores to 5 on Thursday at Abingdon. GC had a RB/DB and TE/OLB out due to being at governors school and one of our MLBs was on vacation. Johnson County was supposed of been there as well but they ended up being a no show.
