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

Just watch hockey, which, quite honestly, is a better sport than most other options.  Just as physical as football, hand-eye coordination of baseball and soccer.  Much faster pace.  Waaaaayyyy less arrogance and entitled attitudes. 
My family has a lot of midwestern roots.  I played on a street hockey league in Texas for a couple of years while I was in the Army stationed at Fort Hood......a whole new level of being in shape....and I was a plodding defensemen with average change of direction for that league.  Those forwards are world class athletes.  
I remember the other defensemen I played with was a tanker and had a glass eye.  He would smack dudes in the boards and was always checking with me to make sure his eye didn't come out.  Lol.  Good times!

It's happening in SWVA too. Softball player leaves a school to play for her travel ball coach, other local teams have transfers on them as well. Russell County has had swaps in various sports for a few years now too. If the family decides to move their kid that's their business. Loyalty in sports is gone in all levels.
 
 

VHSL can make a rule.  If you are the local AAU coach, you can't be on the coaching staff.  That's rule one.  They could argue conflict of interest and unfair competition and it would likely hold up in court and it would hold up to the point that a school like JM likely couldn't overturn that ruling.  That fixes a good chunk of it right there.
Lastly, all open enrollment schools that are within a city of over 200K have to play up in classification in athletics at the level in which the VHSL decides based on competitiveness.  It's really that simple.  Now, maybe only one or none of these rules holds up in court.  Maybe they both do.  But.......what you do is......TRY. You TRY to do something.  So far....I've seen no trying.

Narrows lost every game they played against teams from tougher districts with the exception of the worst Fort Chiswell team in a generation. Narrows has to get out of the Pioneer. You can't play a dogshit schedule and be prepared to face teams that are playing a significantly tougher slate of opponents.
This is not a very good Grayson team either. 

Dude, not trying to be rude, but I can put my finger on it and it happened from game one in my opinion. It's called strength of schedule.

Here’s what I’ve got for Region 1C Tournament seeding.

Depends on which Grayson team shows up. They lost to GW 70-18 two weeks ago. Followed that up by getting boat raced by Bland a few nights later. I wouldn’t base anything on how anyone looks against Galax. They are terrible!!!

At least some regional titles lol

Lowe needs some titles to be in legendary status.

It happens because the VHSL has dug a hole by allowing teams like LCA and John Marshall bend the rules.   Can't cherry pick which rules to enforce.   

We've always had a fair amount of folks who move here after retiring.
US Census has us at 8,177 as of July 1, 2022. 25.3% are 65 or older. Only 19.5% are Under 18.
That 19.5% averages out to about 89 kids a year, and not all of those kids will be enrolled at GW. Some of them have Wytheville addresses but are closer to RR or FC so will go there. Some are homeschooled. Some enroll in one of two small private Christian academies here.

Bland County
 

Radford beats Riverheads by 18 and Graham by 12...Graham fans on here acting like world beaters over that 6 pt difference LOL

Radford without a doubt deserved this. Took down Appo who was still a dangerous team despite their record. Escaped with a victory against Glenvar, their district rivals in a rematch. Shut down the dangerous G-Men rush attack. Ended a 7 year championship streak from the Big Red Machine. This Radford team may go down and one of the best in the NRV over the last few decades. 

We, as a collective group, own Coach Crist a massive apology!!!

Below is collection of quotes from the past year predicting the struggles of Riverheads in 2A.
"Riverheads days of domination will be over come next season."
"Riverheads beat George Wythe but will get absolutely smacked by most 2A teams."
"Riverheads cannot compete with the top teams in 2A. They will find out soon enough when they get to play Appomattox, Graham, Glenvar..etc.. They been bullying around those smaller 1A teams for too long"
"One could tell the Riverheads to enjoy the big dance this year because they may not even make it to the floor next year in 2A."
"I've said for awhile now that they (Riverheads) couldn't hang in Group 2, and apparently they know it  " 
"Riverheads finishes 3rd or 4th in 2D last year."
"Riverheads is a 7--3 team !  At Best !"

I know there are Giles people on here with better intel than me, but from an outsider’s perspective they looked really good to end the year. Could’ve upset #1 Grayson. They only lost by 8 to either the state champ or runner up. They had a tough middle of the season, but I thought they turned a corner at the end and were playing better. Not disagreeing with you. I don’t know enough about their situation to make a decision. Just want to know what’s wrong, and what everyone’s idea for how to fix it is.

I'll go Radford in a close one. I think either team can win and no surprise whoever wins. Two very solid teams. Both have a super senior leader. I value the QB more than the RB because of the way football is played today. 
Radford by 7 points. I like Radford slightly because of the athletes they have and ability to spread Riverheads out, and Radfords rush defense seems pretty good and that will help against the best rushing offense in the state in Riverheads. No surprise if Riverheads wins though.

I think Graham could definitely beat Radford had they played better but 9 out of 10? I don't see that. I think we questioned Radford after their close wins over Appo and Glenvar. In reality beating Appo was a huge mental hurdle for them. For many years Crist has been on the receiving end of verbal beat downs on here. Instead of wanting our Frosty's from Wendy's we need some A1 sauce or BBQ sauce to put on our crow.😂 Granted he has a stellar QB but what team at this point in the season doesn't have an outstanding player or two?

Couldn’t agree more. Honaker did what they had to do. Jump on Galax early. But that physicality wears on you over time if you’re not accustomed to it and prepared for it. No offense to anyone intended here but you can’t get accustomed to it and prepared for it playing Honaker’s schedule. 

In the SEC?

🤔

Can this board handle Crist in the championship?😂

I think we can now put to bed all that talk about how much better Union and Graham are than Radford and Glenvar because from what Ive seen, those 2 schools would finish 4th and 5th respectively in the Three Rivers District.
