Clintwood , Castlewood, and Coeburn are all Div 2 schools BUT due to the "Rye Cove" Rule they are allowed to petition to play Div 1 for football only.

The RC rule could be tweaked to cover other sports or done away with all together. IMHO the best fix would be to scrap the divisions go to a 4 or 5 A system allow mixed districts and not allow playing up or down.

But why would there be a rule that would only allow football teams to drop down and play in D-1. What would be the reasoning behind it.
Also, I still haven't figured out how the Clintwood girls would qualify for the regional tournament.
