Anybody else see this about Grundy?

[imported_trumpet1988]

The declining enrollment of a lot of SWD teams (Richlands, Grundy, Graham (sort of), Tazewell, Marion) is proof that the VHSL should change the classification system.

[pvfan]

The VHSL has been saved for years imo by these schools "playing up". Just 5 years ago they had two AA districts in SWVA, 5 years from now they will have zero. I feel sorry for Abingdon and Carroll County, the only other AA district is in Roanoke. So, if all these schools play accordingly does Abingdon and CC get a hardship like Lee did? I don't see how you could say no to these two after you have already said yes to Lee. Which if that happens your D2 in Region D is basically going to be the old D3 Region 4. Schools like Powell Valley and JJ Kelly could then petition to move down on the basis of the Rye Cove rule if they wanted. The VHSL has set themselves for one big mess in SWVA. I'm sure everyone at the VHSL is praying for consolidation because if not the athletic situation of Wise Co schools will be one of mass chaos.

Just the information on Grundy, John Battle and other info on other sports.

Well if no district wants them does the VHSL deside where they go since they have the right to drop down.


IMHO Grundy, Clintwood and Ervinton SHOULD move to the BDD Lee to the LPD Tazwell and Richlands (if and when they drop) to the CMD and I have NO CLUE about Graham (I would THINK CMD or region C)

[PVVikings2006]

there would have to be some consolidation to make this work... but this is just a look at what consolidation of some form would do for Southwest Virginia...........



Black Diamond District
Council 134
Hurley 208
Twin Valley 244
Grundy 474
Graham 510

Cumberland District
Appalachia 235
J.I. Burton 245
Thomas Walker 253
Castlewood 316
Twin Springs & Rye Cove consolidation 488

Lonesome Pine District
Coeburn & St. Paul 540
Powell Valley 542
Gate City 709

Clinch Mountain District
John Battle 682

I don't believe you will see RC and TS consolidating any time soon. Too wide of an area. The most central location would still have kids on a bus for over an hour at times.

I don't see how Wise Co. consolidates without doing the whole county. Leaving out PV and Appy wouldn't fly imo.

PV Fan -- How does Battle in Region C not make sense? They were in it for like 10 years and two other schools in their county are in it. It's an Interstate District anyway and they are on the interstate.

[pvfan]

If JB is a Region C school so is VA High and Lebanon. Thats all I'm saying and if you put those schools in Region you dont have a CMD.
