EP is saying the James River District does not have any teams that can compete with Goochland. Instead of Goochland having to invent a schedule every year to play competitive games (Like HSHS), moving to the Jefferson would give Goochland a chance to play schools that are closer to their class size in all sports.
If your implying the travel is worse for Goochland in the Jefferson, you don’t know where the James River schools are. The rides to Bluestone, Central Lunenburg and Randolph Henry from Goochland are much longer rides then any school in the Jefferson. Bluestone is closer to Durham/Chapel Hill than it is Goochland HS so I’m not sure about the geographical fit.
It’s a win-win for Goochland.
