Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I think it speaks volumes for schools like Graham and Grundy that, despite much smaller enrollments, they choose to play up a classification. While some other schools, with larger enrollments than those two, have decided to step down in class in recent years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr4hurleyfb 12 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 From Grundy's standpoint, they HAVE to play up. Although the recent squads haven't had the same sucess, I don't think they want to drop to A because of the wrestling program. The A class districts with wrestling would put the other sports teams travelling A LOT for road games (closest A class districts would be LPD and Hogo). -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olewave 44 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 the wrestling program will not decide which way grundy goes. if they go black diamond, they are district champs automatic. with no teams in that district it would enable them to travel to all parts of the country to wrestle like they have been doing for years. it will let them schedule who they want in ohio, pa, wv, and northern va.
