West12aaa 99 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Dang! That looks like a bunch of middle school kids. Please tell me that isn't the TW varsity team...sadly, and it's one of the bigger (player size not participation) teams we've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fb-fan24263 12 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 We're proud of Dawson. The 2 TDS TW scored on us was the only 2 times he touched the ball. Most of Us Lee fans would love for him come to Lee High next year. Most of those kids are seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 It would sureprise me if TW lasts till next year, Consolidation is the word on the street in the halls of TW due to teaching shortages Consolidation rumors been around a long while but if Lee did absorb TW, I don't know how they'd avoid 3A status. They aren't very far from it now without adding any. 900-1000 students most certainly if TW's is added and the way Lee's enrollment tends to jump around a good bit, a good increase in numbers wouldn't put them far from 4A.

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 3A would be a bad really bad for Lee, 4A would be a disaster. I do think if TW was closed then a lot of students would go to TN or KY schools. There are MUCH closer options than Lee but still, Lee would move up to 3A. 1.5 Hours from the nearest 3A school and 3+ form the rest. Although... could Lee County do the 2 on 1 thing that was considered by Wise Co(Wise was considering 3 on 1). 2 seperate schools operating from one facility. It would take some restructuring but it could probably work. Every student from East of the School would be Lee East, every student from West of the school Lee West. That would leave them with 2 mid sized 2A schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Abingdon, they have to be 4 hours away from any other 3 or 4a school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counts 156 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Would the VHSL grant them a waiver to play down due to travel hardship? Other than Abingdon, they have to be 4 hours away from any other 3 or 4a school No the VHSL would allow them to play in a mixed district like Abingdon does now but they would be 3A come playoff time. I had heard that the VHSL was looking at tweaking the alignment again (Possibly bringing back regions) Irishman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
