VHSL latest on redistricting

I missread that. you are right Abingdon will be in the CMD too. That will be Gatecity, VHS, John Battle, Lebanon, Lee, Richlands, Tazwell, Marion, and Abingdon. Every school in the CMD despite Gate City and Lee are right up US 81 from each other

I can see the LPD disolved. They could put Union and Central in the CMD, Clintwood in the BDD, and Burton in the CD. If that was to happen then Marion would need to join Graham in the MED. That would be Marion, Grayson, and Graham as the AA schools and the rest A.

I Think We Should Keep the LPD district going,put back Eastside,Gate City,and anyone that wants in,LPD has won many Championships, most these teams use be in it ,alot still play those teams,i am all for the ,LPD Pride

I wonder how much ground, if any, being a successful and old district will hold up with the VHSL?

My thoughts is if you have enough to split the CMD in half why not place some (Lee and GC) into the LPD and have 6 in the district? and possible add Eastside back to create a 7 team district? School enrollment and distance between schools is about the same. Norton would be the smallest school obviously but that would only help them come tournament time. Just ask JIB girls basketball team last year!

This is how I would do it...makes the most sense geographically:
BDD:
1. Grundy
2. Hurley
3. Richlands
4. Tazewell
5. Twin Valley
6. Honaker
7. Council (non-football)

Cumberland:
1. Eastside
2. Castlewood
3. Twin Springs
4. Thomas Walker
5. Rye Cove

CMD:
1. Virginia High
2. Abingdon
3. Gate City
4. Lebanon
5. Marion
6. John Battle

LPD:
1. Central
2. Union
3. J. I. Burton
4. Dickenson County
5. Lee

Each district would have either 5 or 6 teams for football. And then the BDD would have 7 for most other sports. I think it's crazy for the CMD to have 8 or 9 teams. That would eliminate a lot of traditional out of district rivalry games. And I know this is almost blasphemy on this board to say....but football is not the only sport, and I'd say that's what most are worried about when they look at these setups (but is not the only thing the VHSL will see)
