gwmaroon Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 New district for George Wythe this coming year should be exciting. Was wondering what teams are returning some starters that will help them make a march into the playoffs. What are your top four teams?

Was wondering what teams are returning some starters that will help them make a march into the playoffs. What are your top four teams? Not the MED of my youth, that's for sure. The MED could easily have been the least competitive district in Virginia from 1993 to 2009. Not a single program was competitive outside the immediate area in virtually every team sport with the exception of Grayson baseball. It has experienced a complete 180 degree shift since Fort Chiswell and Galax have become competitive on a state level. I believe the addition of Graham is, at least in part, a significant factor. Graham forced others to raise the bar. I look forward to what becomes of the new look MED. It will be a gauntlet for sure. futbolking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 What district gw in?? Need put tazewell back on regular schedule. Mountain Empire District featuring: Auburn, Bland, Fort Chiswell, Galax, Grayson County, Rural Retreat and George Wythe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 That's a nice little district, Having to find five non-district games every two years may get to be a headache in the future, but it usually is easier for 1A teams to fill their schedule than the larger schools in the area.

Actually its a seven team district. So you would only have to find 4 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Narrows is going to the Pioneer District.... James River is going to the Three Rivers District... That should make the Pioneer an entirely 1A district and the Three Rivers District an entirely 2A district... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappy Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Black Diamond needs some more schools added. Getting lonely in Buchanan Co. and a section of Russell Co. these days. I almost look for the Black Diamond and whats left of the HOGO to come together and form a district in the next cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, two football teams from the MED reached the final 4 from 1993 to 2011? Thanks for back-door proving my point! starcityfootballfan and futbolking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfan08 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Narrows is going to the Pioneer District.... James River is going to the Three Rivers District... That should make the Pioneer an entirely 1A district and the Three Rivers District an entirely 2A district... Heard that Bland was possibly trying to leave the MED to go into the Hogoheegee for the Fall of 2017, but I think they were turned down. Any update on that?

SXSW Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 The Cumberland and Black Diamond just need to merge and be done with it. The combined district would have Burton, Castlewood, Eastside, Rye Cove, Twin Springs, Thomas Walker, Grundy, Honaker, Hurley and Twin Valley. A perfect ten team district with competitive balance. Call it the Cumberdiamond District. nine district games and one non-district. MrSocko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
