Oops... I DID forget about Tazewell. Strange. I told Ron when I first saw the numbers a few years ago that "If Brenda would move the line a little around Pounding Mill, all 3 co. schools would be A-eligible, and could drop together with Grundy & keep the SWD name somehow".Quote:

So, Coeburn returning would give the LPD & the Cumberland 5 each. Makes sense, esp. with Coeburn becoming about twice as big as any other school in the Cumb.
If/When the Wise and/or DC consoladations go through then there is little doubt that Richlands will fall below the line (The 3 Tazwell teams along with Honaker and Lebanon would make a good District)Quote:

Where do Lee, Virginia High, John Battle, Gate City fit in. If consolidation occurs are the Wise County schools going to be A or AA schools wouldn't ****enson Co. be AA too, I looks like Southwest Va. is going to be in flux for a while, the VHSL could just make districts with A and AA teams in them like they do in the east.
The Wise and ****enson Co. schools would still be A. A consolidated school of CW, Haysi, and Ervinton would have 773 with this years numbers. Those numbers are going down every year though. A few of the Ervinton kids I think that live toward Sandy Ridge could end up going to Coeburn also. A combined Appy/PV school would have 765. A combined JJK/Pound school would have 724. All of those #'s are within 100 of Gate City's present enrollment of 681 and within 61 of Lee's 712. I'd say all of the three above would be A D2 and there'd be a lot of quality teams in the area.
You all are forgetting a few things. The 2 on 1 school plan without Norton coming in to join will put schools around at 1000 each. This will put the schools in AA. With Norton coming in the schools will be around 1100 each.
You all have to remember that now with the 2 on 1 Coeburn will be shut down.
I believe that the new 2 on 1 schools are going to feel what Lee felt their last few years in the Highlands. The travel time to the nearest AA schools will be a killer for them. Unless they have split A/AA districts the nearest drive (excluding their games against each other) will be to Abingdon or Richlands, with also trips to places like Marion, Carroll Co, etc. That's not even talking about if they make it to the playoffs and have a first round game in Roanoke because AA isn't going to the new playoff format yet are they?
