What was the actually diff. in enrollment, though? About 300? In Va, the Beavers would have been AA ?most? of the time.

Actually, Bluefield's enrollment used to be significantly higher than Graham's. For many years (50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s) Bluefield's enrollment was well over 1000 students (in three grades). Even as late as 1984-85, Bluefield had over 1000 students while Graham's enrollment has hovered around 500-600 students during that same time. Only in recent years (last 15 or so) has Bluefield's enrollment dropped down to where it is now and still, Graham's enrollment has remained around 500 or so. Did Bluefield's large enrollment have some sort of role in the series dominance over Graham? Obviously. Look at the series record since Bluefield's enrollment has been on the decline...yes, Bluefield still leads the series during that time but they are not dominating the series like they did in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s when their enrollment was twice as much (or more) than Graham's was.
