You would have Union, Gatecity, Rose Ridge (dickenson co), Lee, Central, and JIB (assuming they stay) in the LPD and to me that would be a tougher district than having Lebanon, Lee, Union, Central, Rose Ridge, and JIB. Either way you cut it the Clinch Mountain District with the additions of Richlands, Marion, and Tazwell will be the toughest District in the new 2A system.
The best thing about this new classification system is that down here in SWVA we have the ability to make districts that all competing schools will be the same classification. JIB could go to the Cumberland and be in an all 1A district, the LPD and the CMD will be all 2A schools an so forth. To me that is better than the Dulles District with 6A and 5A schools and one 2A. Either way its cut, the LPD will not be the same LPD of 20 years ago. New teams are coming in and old teams will leave. I just hope the level of competition dont change.
