The BDD needs to at least get one more D2 school involved, it's not fair to the rest of the Region that Honaker can get into the playoffs by beating 3 D1 schools. Two of which who are normally two of the worst in the state. Geographically it would work out better if Clintwood moved to the BDD and Lee moved to the LPD. It's hard for me to imagine the LPD without Clintwood though. The system in general is terrible, especially if you look at it from a non football viewpoint. The VHSL is currently asking St. Paul to compete with Lee High in every sport but Football and starting this season Basketball. That alone is terrible, and that is not even mentioning the problems you have in the numbers from Region B compared to Region D.

Buffalo Gap would've been the largest school in the LPD yet they get to play CW for the state title, while Clintwood has to petition to play D1. The VHSL is poorly set up, to me the purpose of the VHSL should be to provide student athletes with an equal opportunity to compete. They should imo do whatever is needed to make the Divisional Setup fair or remove the setup all together. Anytime you have a system where a team can win a state title in one division and that school be larger than a team in another division it's a flawed system. The population gap in this state poses a so called huge problem yet Region A schools such as Coloinal Beach with less than 200 kids are playing D1 in Region A and WC a legit D1 school is playing Region B, both schools were beaten this year by Buffalo Gap in football a school that is pushing 600 students.

To me it would be better if they did a 1-16 system. I understand the travel problem in football but at least student athletes would be able to compete on equal footing.
