Region 5D has 19 schools. Makes no sense to have Massaponax, North Stafford, and Riverbend in that region. Move them to region 5C which is Richmond area schools, makes more sense.
Some of the 5D schools will probably be moved up after appeal. Gainesville had almost 700 freshmen last year but their 9-11 enrollment was low since they didn't have a full junior class. Potomac fell just under the cutoff and they are also appealing. The VHSL has let all the Fairfax schools play in Class 6 in recent years so Mount Vernon and Lewis may move up as well.

NEWS: VHSL Region Alignment: The Appeals
In response to the Virginia High School League's Alignment Committee recommendation for regions in all six classifications for the period from Fall 2023 to Spring 2027, individual schools, and school systems, were allowed to file petitions for appeals. They are all listed below, with #RVA area requests in bold, as well as schools whose appeal, if granted, would place them into a region with schools from our metropolitan area.
Schools and divisions who may object to these appeals may do so no later than Monday, August 15th with justification for their objection. Those are scheduled to be made public a week from now, Tuesday, August 16th. The Alignment Committee will meet again Tuesday, August 23rd to vote on their final recommendation, which, once approved, will be sent to the League's Executive Committee for a vote on September 21st.

Chesterfield is requesting a district to themselves, not a division.

It's huge for Patrick Henry Roanoke. Most of the teams in the district are C3. They could choose not to play due to being 3 classifications apart.
