Thanks for the heads up. That would get them to 646 for 9-11 (average), higher than Abingdon but doesn't account for defections to Cumberland Gap or other schools.

This is from the Virginia Department of Education that was updated in September. If you average that out by class and times it by three you are around 820 kids.

Lot of talk that TW may be on the chopping block. Some chatter in Lee about trimming $1 million from the school budget by shuttering TW and St. Charles' elementary school. If this happens, how does that impact Lee? TW has around 300 kids and Lee is close to 800, even if you figure some of the TW kids would cross the state line, this would put Lee back in Class 3. The Generals football program has been on the upswing lately, Lee's track programs have been among the best in Region 2D, golf has won a state title and been a contender in recent times and softball appeared in the state tournament this year. It would also leave the M7 in the position of having two of its seven schools playing Class 3. This could lead to some seeding nightmares, not that they don't have enough already. As for 1D, nothing would change other than schools in the Cumberland would need to find another opponent out of league.

First player from Dickenson County since Justin Hamilton to commit to a Power 4/5 football program?

This is the M7: Baseball Abingdon 14-2 (8-0) Battle 11-7 (7-2) Union 11-7 (6-3) Central 10-6 (4-4) Gate City 8-9 (4-5) Ridgeview 6-10 (1-7) Lee 3-12 (0-9) Softball Abingdon 16-3 (10-2) Central 10-7 (6-3) Lee 12-6 (6-4) Battle 9-9 (5-5) Union 8-10 (5-5) Ridgeview 9-8 (2-7) Gate City 0-18 (0-10)

Does anyone have them for the SWD/M7/CD/HOGO?

The point system M7 uses. it is odd you can have same district record, beat team 2-of-3 times, advance farther in district tournament and have better overall record and be seeded lower. Probably something the M7 ADs need to examine moving forward.

GC will still be No. 2 seed if they win consolation game unless Union upsets Central.

The game will be played at Union HS.

Delusional. Be careful what you wish for, it can get much worse. You all ever stop and look at past "great" programs and where they are now? The man is averaging around nine wins a year. He's from our community and relates to our kids better than anyone else we could get in here. We're not more than eight months removed from him winning the Region D Title with a team most of you all on here said was the worst team in school history! From a consistency stand point, that program is the best in the area. They have made the playoffs every year the school has been open and have won at least one playoff game for ten consecutive seasons. And some of you all want to fire the coach? Back to my hole of mostly reading........

I'm a big fan of the power points system overall and wish it would be implemented in other sports. That being said, with so many teams not playing 10 games this year, it's not as good as it is in normal years. Schools will lose rider points off of teams they beat simply because that team won't be able to play their full allotment of games. Not declaring COVID games as forfeits has caused a disaster and if power points end up being used it could greatly impact seeding.

I was under the impression power points meant nothing this year and they were going strictly off of district standings because not everyone is playing 10 games? Of course, nobody seems to know what will happen if there is a 3-way tie in the M7 for the top AA spot.

After the night in the "Crow's Nest" at Rye Cove, I never thought you and I would be hearing impaired at the same venue again. What's louder the music at Rye Cove High School with no fans during a pandemic for basketball or the train horn?

You came to a Union game and didn’t stand with me? I’m hurt, we could’ve debated whether or not illegal touching occurred. FWIW, I’ve watched the film and still can’t tell if it was a handoff or “pass”.

I didn't realize they had dropped to AA. Going to pose a major problem for anyone trying to win a boys basketball state title for some time. They have high major D1 talent on that roster that seems to shuffle in and out yearly. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that's a AA school but people are moving out of that part of Richmond. Curious to see how whoever gets out of C/D handles this bunch, I think they have four college prospects on this year's roster and had the number one player in the country not long ago after he transferred in and then left.
