Region D no longer exists in football. Therefore there are no more Region D Championship games to be held anywhere. Now there are only two Regions now in Single A. East and West. I am very excited about the upcoming year and hope Gate City will make the playoffs. I have always wanted to see this kind of playoff in VA and hope the other 4 Divisions follow suit. Makes for some exciting first round playoff games. Would be even better to see Single A to play maybe the last two games if not just the State Title game at Virginia Tech. I know I have been against High School teams playing on College fields but DANG its VT and that would get the kids even more excited to make the last dance!!!! It is time to leave Salem high and dry not because of them not allowing noise makers in the stadium last December but for treating the fans of all 4 teams like criminals when checking for noise makers. Also for not allowing atleast the parents on the field after such a magical game. JMU was a long drive but they did allow a lot more freedoms for the fans. But if it was at VT I would not care either way!

VT would search fans just like Salem because it is mandated by the VHSL.
