RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 http://www.vhsl.org/MoreAboutVHSL/jan22minutes.doc Link above confirms/denies several rumors floating around. Grundy had requested to be assigned to the Lonesome Pine District, but was denied. The R&R Committee instead (and very appropriately, IMO) assigned them to the Black Diamond. Couple of interesting moves in Region III. Perennial Seminole doormat Staunton River is moving to the Blue Ridge. The Eagles should be much more competitive in that district, although that is representative of interesting politics in Bedford County. E.C. Glass was approved to take their place in the Seminole, which is big news just from a classification standpoint. To the best of my knowledge, the Hilltoppers have always competed in the highest classification group until to this point. And swapping Staunton River for them makes the Seminole even more challenging, if that were possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmaker 10 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 actually it came from a scarlet colored hurricane, and was allegedly from an article in the roanoke times. according to this "article" the schools were growing in population by approximately 10% anually and were going to be forced up to AAA by VHSL. i have no true knowledge of this and cant verify but if true would certainly make some wave rasslers happy.

Currently, there are three schools in their district that are LARGER than both B'burg and C'burg (Hidden Valley, Salem, and Pulaski Co.). At least for the next R&R period, both schools will remain AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ]wth is that supposed to mean? i was simply inquiring about somethin i heard at the northwood tourney from a cane rassler. since i dont know you ballking then it prolly wasnt you i heard it from. the point was that those schools were at nearly the AAA limit and growing by around 10% a year and in the '09 cycle they would be moved to AAA. sounds like there is more inbred arrogance in you than ignorance in me.

ehc55 10 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 cburg and bburg are around 1200 kids. which means they would have to gain approximately 350-400 kids over the next cycle. even @ 10% gain a year they would barely have enough kids to make the jump. Gman is right. It would probably take 1600 to make the jump. Either way I don't see those schols having that type of gain in two years unless roanoke becomes a lake and everyone has to move.

[/ QUOTE ] Their enrollment for the 09-11 cycle is 1159 for Blacksburg and 1034 for Christiansburg. In comparison, for the 07-09 cycle, Blacksburg had 1204 and Christiansburg had 1031, DEFINITELY not anywhere near a 10% annual increase in enrollment for either school, especially considering Blacksburg LOST enrollment. E.C. Glass will drop from AAA to AA in '09 and will be the biggest AA school at 1548 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Roanoke isn't becoming a lake, but it's becoming one large hell hole. I worked in the city with a community service board for nearly three years, so trust me I know. The problems that have encompossed Roanoke will slowly encomposs the out-lying areas forcing good people to move further and further away. I certainly see the C'burg/B'burg area growing rapidly and in maybe 10 years I could see C'burg becoming a AAA school. B'burg would struggle to house many more residence b/c the town is so landed locked and housing is already at a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 [ QUOTE ] I heard from a very reliable source gw danville will possibly be AA during the next cycle [/ QUOTE ] I could see that as a possibility with the huge loss of jobs in the Danville area over the recent years. Their enrollment numbers dropped from 1859 in the 07-09 cycle to 1695 for the 09-11 cycle. And it wasn't too many years ago their enrollment was well over 2000 students. They've gone from being the largest school in the Western Valley district to the next to smallest school in that district...only William Fleming, who just made the move back up to AAA, is smaller at 1579.

hoard 18 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 [ QUOTE ] one of the administrators over there said they were already looking at scenarios if it does happen. He said the piedmont and region 4 is the strongest possibility. [/ QUOTE ] I wonder if having a AAA power like GW drop would make some of the smaller AA schools push harder for four classes? While I don't know exactly which schools are for four, I would assume the larger AA schools are against it. The reason being, under the current setup, they are among the largest schools in their respective regions and class. If the VHSL goes to four classes, then large AA schools like Pulaski, Salem, Amherst, Powhatan, etc. end up competing against what used to be smaller AAA schools rather than small AA schools like in the Piedmont, SWD, Southside, etc. Many of the large Group A schools are probably for the status quo also. http://www.vhsl.org/MoreAboutVHSL/surveyresultsbyclass.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehc55 10 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm not sure but I would hate to be in region 4 if this does happen. GW had eight scholarship kids off this years team and their FB was just offered by Michigan. He also was the indoor triple jump national champion.
