Gives us options to keep some rivalry games on the schedule. We would have our 4 district games and could keep our Gate City, Honaker, Graham and Union games. And maybe pick up a few other new ones. I'd love to see us play a Burton or Battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs52 484 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Lets hope they keep it as the Southwest District.... No use in getting rid of the name, well that is my opinion anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to think that there would no longer be a Southwest District. Many great teams and a lot of tradition over the past years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LPD is gone as of next year as well....Members won 21 State Titles in Football alone. (14 other teams got to the state final and lost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Battle wanted to play Richlands we would still be talking about a nine team CMD instead of whatever this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 The nine team CMD was the best idea I've seen since the old SWD split up. This new plan sucks for everyone in "New District 1". They trade Carroll for Lebanon. That's it. They still have to play six non-district games in an area where the other districts don't need six. Do the math on that one! I thought one of the reasons for realignment was to make scheduling easier but this makes it harder. I hope Richlands drops every team in "New District 2" in all sports and then picks up Bluefield and as many NE TN schools as possible.

The 9 team plan would have benefitted teams in that district for easier scheduling. A school in the 4 team LPD would have to find 7 schools in football to schedule. The new plan is better for all.

Personally, I would have preferred the more recent 9-team Clinch Mountain proposal. But this alignment seems to be pretty well balanced in terms of geography. I like it a whole lot better than the Notre Dame to ACC deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A school in the 4 team LPD would have to find 7 schools in football to schedule. The new plan is better for all. It's better for the schools that got their way. If it were better for all we would have an 11 team district like the old SWD. Scheduling would be a piece of cake in all sports, and since the district has no bearing on the post season you don't have to worry about 9-1 teams missing the playoffs.

But since there is apparently some issue that prevents administrators from seeing the logic behind this argument, the five-team districts as proposed look reasonable enough.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 for some reason the VHSL is hell bent on getting rid of the SWD...I've heard the new district will be called the Clinch River District, or at least that's one they are kicking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Man 48 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 What happens when Dickenson County Consolidates? From what I understand they will be placed in the district with Tazewell , Richlands , Lebanon, Abingdon, and Marion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 From what I understand they will be placed in the district with Tazewell , Richlands , Lebanon, Abingdon, and Marion. I really hope not. Clintwood has alot of ties to Union, Central and GC so if for no other reason than to preserve some history I would rather see Ridgeview in district 2(CMD). The travel times would be alot longer in District 1(SWD) also, Marion and Tazewell are long trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,453 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'd be more interested in seeing a post-consolidation look at this plan after Dickenson and Buchanan counties both finish their plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I agree, things should be a little clearer then. I would think Buch Co would join D1(SWD) and Honaker and Council to the Hogo? Honaker could join D1 but I would guess they would ask to join the Hogo and would probably be granted that request.
