4-5 Class Model

There were only 3 divisions for a long time and it worked. All this “it’ll hurt this team or that team” is not really an argument IMHO. I’ve always felt that the 6 divisions just waters down the systems too much. How many sub .500 teams get in the playoffs currently? 3 divisions would all but eliminate that wouldn’t it? I guess if the state population has increased enough, 4 divisions could be justified. Just my 2 cents (from a guy who was on 6-4, 8-2, 8-2 teams and never got to the playoffs).

There was only a 3 class system for 15 years from 1970-1985. After 1986 it was called 1A,2A,and 3A with 2 divisions each. Six state champions have been crowned since 1986. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the current system since they fixed the classification designation. In 2001 Graham at 500 students had to play Harrisonburg who had about 1300 students in the same class. That was a problem. Today's system is not perfect but it's way better than it used to be.

Rustburg Job Open

He didnt coach after the first game of the season though.
You are right he's there on the sideline every week but I didn't see him doing very much coaching last season so I'm not real sure what his role is with Coach Lineburg. All I know for sure is they have quite a job ahead of them trying to get that program competitive in the Seminole again. Worst Brookville teams there in many years.

Glass playing good ball

I got one name for GW guard play Micah Gunter plays at Greensboro Day 9th grade is the missing piece.
I’d love to see that bro but highly doubt it’ll happen. Micah will be a 4/5 star before it’s all said and done and he’s already the face of that Greensboro Day program as a freshman. GDS is playing a very elite schedule and is a top 50 team nationally. Micah and Isaac are both going to be high level Division 1 guys.

Glass playing good ball

I think the biggest difference in C4 is guard play. Gotta have an elite guard like Glass had in Harris or Northside has in their two studs to beat the East. Varina will be extremely hard to beat when Kaleb Wyche is 100%, Monacan has Amare Cooper who I believe is the most underrated guard in all of VA and then you got Atlee and some very good teams in the east in Hampton Denbigh, Smithfield and Churchland. The guard play has to be good to beat those teams. In the West right now I’d go 1. Handley 2. Glass and GW 4. Halifax.

4-5 Class Model

So you expect craig co. To line up and play graham????? In 3a why would a school with 900 in reg. D play a school with 1350 in reg. C....PULL your oujia board back out SHELDON
This mindset is why VA high school sports is in the shape it is now. Poor example cause what has Craig County ever done against schools its own size?? Grayson County played down this year and got spanked by a legit (in numbers) C1 school in Essex. It’s either you’re good enough to compete for a championship or you don’t deserve to be there.

Preseason Class 2 Boys Basketball Top 10

I’ve been impressed with Floyd County. Love their guard play and the way they let it fly. Dan River is probably the most talented team in the region (Jameer Reynolds 6’7 SG can flat out hoop) but they are just too inconsistent. Gretna, defending regional champs, looks to have a really good team and if I was a betting man, I’d say them and Floyd will be the state representative from the region. It’s been kind of sad seeing Radford not being in the thick of things. When I think of elite programs in the state, Radford is always a top choice for me, especially from our end of the state.
I see Floyd County winning the 2C Region..I saw them destroy Magna Vista. Floyd County can flat out play and shoot.
