All 6 games played in Lane stadium would be sick! I guess you could split it between lane and whatever UVA calls their stadium that would still be awesome

That is what I heard. Any truth to that

I heard that coaches may not be the only new faces on Unions side line this year.

The way I understand it is they rule for this up coming season. You have to be to enrolled in a feeder school before high school and you do not have to move. If you transfer with out relocating your whole family you have to sit a year. The new bill that has is getting pushed pretty much says the the school district lets you enrolled you can play regardless of where you live. Honestly I there are only a few schools that this truly effects in SWVA because we are so spread out. I dont see Honaker being able to convince a kids from Rural Retreat to come play in the Air Raid to get more targets but you have to drive an hour plus one way every day. But I will let Union and Graham raid Lee county and Tazewell/Mercer county roster with more ease than every before. I guess hypothetically this could water down an 1A even more if Twin Springs and Rye Cove kids want to go to Gate City. But I really dont think It was change anything that isnt already happening. The second bill is for those big schools in NOVA can throw a rock and hit another 5a or 6a school.

But really who is it going to be? Is Harris coming back? This has been a quite coaching cycle compared to recent years with only Union and Tazewell coming open. If there are a still assistant out there looking for a shot at their first head job they probably have a better shot getting Tazewell over Union

You are right they do like to play defense with 4 and get out on the fast break

Honestly I am glad the those schools are consolidating because the way 1D run their regional tournament in every sport but football is a joke. The fact the the Black Diamon get 3 bid is every sport is laughable. In most cases they they get teams in with sub .250 records! Meanwhile you have teams that earned a home playoff game by finishing second in their district having to go on the road. That is crazy to me. I know its a dumb thing to get fired up about because it is the last year of this but still I feel like it needed to be said. Because of this you have results like you did last night. Council has no business being on the same floor as PH and that is the result you get. They let there best player cherry pick all night and he was able to score a ton of point. I read in the paper that one kid had 22 assist and that is a record and good for him. You might want to put an asterisk on those though. It was clear they where trying to break records last night they said as much in the paper. I do think it is sad that the you had a match up in the regional tournament that allowed this to happen.

Lebanon to the Cumberland?

Outside of Rye Cove there is very little resistance in the Cumberland Castlewood Thomas Walker and JI Burton are not helping them get ready for the post season but they have to play them. That is your answer to the why. The question I want answered The question I want answered is where do they go? Hogo is going to be at 7 or 8 teams depending if Marion drops with Lebanon. They could bump up and play with the Mountain 7 but that would really muddy up the postseason for every sport outside football.

Is there anywhere you can find updated numbers for the updated reclassification? Lastest numbers I have found in 2022. I only ask because I think both Marion and Lebanon should be dang close to being class 1

I really like this idea so our new regions would be Class 1 region D Northwood/ Twin Springs/ JI Burton/ Holston/ Thomas Walker/ Rye Cove/ Castlewood / Rural Retreat/ Honaker/ Patrick Henry/ Eastside/ Tazewell/ Chilhowie/ Lebanon/ John Battle/ Graham Class 1 region C Bath County/ Craig County/ Narrows/ East Mont/ Parry Mcluer/ Bland/ Giles/ Fort Chiswell/ George Wythe/ Galax/ Auburn/ Grayson/ James River/ Radford/ Martinsville/ Gretna/ Tunstall/ Staunton River/ Class 2 Region D Ridgeview/ Lee/ Marion/ Wise Central/ VA high/ Gate City/ Richlands/ Union/ Hidden Valley/ Southern Gap/ Abingdon/ Lord Botetourt/ Carroll County/ Cave Springs/ Christiansburg/ Pulaski Class 2 Region C Nelson County/ Dan River/ Glenvar/ Chatham/ LCA/ Floyd/ Patrick County/ Appomattox/ Liberty(Bedford)/ Rustburg/ Alleghany/ East Rockingham/ Staunton/ Spotswood/ Wilson Memorial/ Brookville I actually do not hate this set up out side of Graham being in class one that would be a blood bath but I dont think you would have to twist Marions arm too hard to move them down. this was going off the VHSL website numbers

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

Saw this on FB I think this would be a terrible idea for this side of the state. What do y’all think? https://www.facebook.com/share/1CA3XKvyZi/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I agree this could have a domino effect like Crist leaving VA high did a few years ago.

I guess we did disagree on the definition of some words there. To me average means anyone can do it. That is obviosity not the case here just look what has happened since he left Marion. I also do not think its fair to judge high school coaches solely off of record. When teams are even in talent coaching comes in to play a lot but when you are massively out gunned talent wise there is only so much you can do. Just ask Collier and James in the last two state championship games. Essex and Rappahonnock had more speed than Grayson and Rye Cove respectively and it showed in the second half. I think a great coach takes the kids he has and gets the most out of them and that may result in a 5-5 4-6 season and a first round exit and a lot of people see that as a failure because they did not win it all but you have to have perspective when it comes to small school high school football.
