Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 This is a map of Virginia that is divided up by regions. The map was taken from the Virginia Department of Education's website and can be found here...http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/nutrition/resources/region_specialists.shtml#r6 We are Region 7. That region is called the Southwest Region. Notice how Roanoke is in Region 6. That is called the Western Region. This is how the Commonwealth of Virginia divides up the state, and since they recognize that SWVA starts/stops at Roanoke, I will too. Also, please notice how the area shaded in pink looks very, very similar to the map at the top of this forum(minus the WV counties). It doesn't matter to me if someone puts/leaves out Bluefield, Union, Thomas Walker, or whoever in their top 10. That is most definitely an opinion, but to argue that Roanoke is in SWVA defies logic and reason. That is all I have for today's geography lesson and apologies to @Bearcat Dad for having an argument in the middle of your Top Ten party.

PV2VT 41 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I see your point and to that point where is Bluefield WVA on this map? Hmm I don’t see it. Education map may have it as “western VA” but you need to read up on Roanoke the star city of southwest Virginia. I do not doubt that your map is accurate but I ask you concede that Salem is a southwest Virginia city and there team is a SWVA football team. Clearly Salem is in SWVA. Now with that said I may be a smart a$$ and add Pulaski to my top ten. They would dominate any team y’all mention as well they are clearly in your map’s district. Now with that said, Salem is my number 1 SWVA team and will be until one of the other SWVA or southern WVa teams beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I love the effort sir. However, as a member of this forum for almost the entire length of it's existence, I have learned one thing. That lesson is that some posters on here will make like a politician and repeat their same viewpoint over and over and over again no matter how many times it's disproved or disagreed with until a moderator finally has to say... There is a map and it you don't like it, it's your problem. Like VA Preps being almost worthless for discussion and coverage of SWVA, there will always be a set of people who disagree with what is considered this site's coverage area. Keep fighting the good fight though. We support anyone that uses logic. Union_Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, this is some good info for anyone to read that disagrees with who is included in our coverage area! 24 minutes ago, Union_Fan said: That is all I have for today's geography lesson and apologies to @Bearcat Dad for having an argument in the middle of your Top Ten party.
