VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Same as last time .... no movement in Regions IV, D & C Clintwood & Haysi can again petition down of the 63 non-Region B schools, only 9 are larger than their largest Div. 1 team (B Gap) the SMALLEST Div. 1 team in Reg. B is larger than ANY Div. 1 team in Regions C or D. Lee High is no longer the largest Single A team (they've lost 89 students in the past 18 months). http://www.vhsl.org/files/fb-divisions-2009-10.pdf Edited May 29, 2009 by VHSLhelper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 769 looks like the cut-off for A/AA now...Richlands is only 12 students away...could we see all three Tazewell Co. schools FINALLY drop to Class A next time around??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nollama 10 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yep. I'd say you will see all 3 drop to single A next go around. At least thats the word on the "street" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Problem with that is it will end the Southwest District, unless Region D agrees to realign and drop the Clinch Mtn. Shoulda done this years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoard 18 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 G.W.Danville in particular....just imagine if they were in Region IV/Piedmont. I wonder what the sentiment is there if that possibility arises. Martinsville and Patrick County are close to Single A, but I'm not sure if they could find a district to play in. I had mentioned this in the past, but I could see Region D realigning into two "large school" districts and two "small school" districts if/when the SWD schools drop. That might appease the smaller schools because with divisional play, they might never have to face the likes of Tazewell, Richlands and Graham in most sports.

VHSLhelper 571 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I made a mistake above; let's try this again. In Region D, Haysi & Castlewood flip-flop again (but Haysi can petition down to Div. 1], Clintwood can petition down again, but Coeburn can NOT, because, in the past 18 months, they've gained 24 students while Lee lost 89 (and the distinction of being the largest Single A school). Of the 63 non-Region B schools, only 9 are larger than their largest Div. 1 team (B Gap). The SMALLEST Div. 1 team in Reg. B is larger than ANY Div. 1 team in Regions C or D.

Bulldog 82 11 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 G.W.Danville in particular....just imagine if they were in Region IV/Piedmont. I wonder what the sentiment is there if that possibility arises. Martinsville and Patrick County are close to Single A, but I'm not sure if they could find a district to play in. . Martinsville could possibly join the Dogwood Dist. where Gretna, Dan River and Chatham now play. Patrick Co. could possibly play in the same Dist. as Floyd Co. but I'm not sure of the name. GW Danville would be a good fit for Magna Vista and Bassett in the Piedmont District. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Actually, doing equal thirds by these numbers puts the A/AA line at 750, which puts Richlands 31 too high with 4 other AA schools (including Patrick Co., which could go to the Three Rivers) closer. Marion would be 38 above and could go to the Hogo. The AA/AAA line would be 1550. GW-Danville would go to the Seminole, William Fleming could go to either of the Ridges. And AAA TJ-Richmond is once again A-eligible. ---- current Wise Co. merger numbers - 777 - Powell Valley & Appalachia 755 - Pound & JJ Kelly 540 - St. Paul & Coeburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Which will happen first...Tazewell Co. schools dropping to Class A or the Wise Co. school merger??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs52 483 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I just wish they would go on and consolidate Taz. Co. schools and have the two teams too whip up on every one... Wishful thinking, but oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Marion - Grundy - Richlands - Tazewell - Graham - Lebanon would make a good A level SWD...just send CC and Abingdon packing and add Lebanon...would be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn125 10 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 that would make for something very interesting but if they plan to do the new alignment in the next few years well all would be playing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I just wish they would go on and consolidate Taz. Co. schools and have the two teams too whip up on every one... Wishful thinking, but oh well... I've been barking up that tree for years. I think that's the eventual result, but it's a LONG way off, IMO.
