I’ll start by suggesting the longest commute will be Franklin County to Western Branch. 233 miles, 4 hours 14 minutes.
Longest and Shortest travel distance.
- Thread starter DinwiddieProud
- Start date
Unless someone in NoVA has a shorter drive, I’m going with Cosby to Manchester or Godwin going to Freeman as the closest.
I agree, except there are probably schools in NOVA within sight of each other! I think there are 20-some in Fairfax, and close to that in Loudoun.
It’s just crazy what the population is up there.

West Springfield and Hayfield is about 5 min apart and possibly could be walking distance
BTW, one of my favorite matchups is Armstrong/Caroline. Two long suffering programs that sure as heck need a day in the sunshine. And the fact that they meet each other is a good thing in my book. It guarantees that one of them will make it to the second round.
Hey Danny, can you check and see when the last time was, that either of these two made it to the second round?
And I’m not sure there is a bigger, more lopsided matchup this year than
1-9 Prince George against Highland Springs.
PG: PF 64, PA 416
HS: PF 488, PA 47
Game on 9/9 63-0 HS
Where I come from, we call this a sacrificial mercy killing.

Same thing happened last year and the results will be worse this time around. Poor Prince George. I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
You guys sound about as distraught with PG's plight as most Salem fans are about Northside going winless this year. We just feel awful that NS scored a total of 66 pts for the year and got shutout on 6 occasions. Just gut wrenching. Sorry @RKE Fan I know you're one of us now, but you still have the Vikings ties too.
Lol Not even close Mike. PG scored 52 points all year and kept their Varsity starters in against our JV just to score. In my opinion they scored 52 more points than I would prefer.

I remember driving thru Portsmouth and Woodrow Wilson an I C Norcom were separated by a hospital. They must have been a half a mile away from each other.
The School and County Administration “sacrifices” the kids to satisfy their egos and political ties.
It’s a little further than that but I know what you’re saying. Same with Norview and Lake Taylor. The closest high schools I know of is Hermitage and Glen Allen. I think they’re separated by 4 stop lights, both off of the same road. It says that it’s 2 miles but I think it’s a little closer lol…
You have to be an octogenarian using mapquest.... still using your aol email account? lol
Man, now you're taking me back to the mid-late 90s and my road trips to the northeast.
Shoot, I remember having road atlases for each state! I remember those huge fold up paper maps as well!! If you didn't have a navigator with you, you had to pull over and read the map. Talk about really having to pay attention to driving!!
I heard that you found your way by following the tracks that wagons made.
Oh heck no. It was many decades after his reign before the wheel was invented. He was struggling to learn what fire was.
