The VHSL does realignment every two years. We always have schools that play up or play down when they should not. Which schools should really move up or move down the next time realignment comes out?

I agree I think Liberty should move downThe following schools were winless this past year and played in a district that had higher enrollment numbers than their school and should play down where they belong.
Martinsville
Liberty Bedford
Lakeland Suffolk
Denbigh
Richmond school for the arts
The following schools should play down because they don’t even play a district schedule.
John Marshall
Thomas Jefferson S & T Alexandria
Bruton Williamsburg
Liberty just moved down to C2 this year. They really need to change districts- the Dogwood would be a better level of even competition. Travel costs would go up though I'm sure.I agree I think Liberty should move down
That’s what I meant. They shouldn’t play in the Seminole. I believe they filed for this but was deniedLiberty just moved down to C2 this year. They really need to change districts- the Dogwood would be a better level of even competition. Travel costs would go up though I'm sure.
Dogwood rejected them. Not sure why the VHSL can't step in there because it is completely unfair to them that they have to play up. Leaving the district and playing an independent schedule would be better for them, at least for football.Liberty just moved down to C2 this year.

It's not just talent that has left Bedford, it's jobs and people. The school is tiny now. If the school board redistricts them and takes some kids from JF and SR, then maybe. They have a new school board now so who knows what they will do. I'd imagine they'd go with the parents and not do that (don't think the JF parents want their kids going out to Liberty, not sure SR parents feel as passionate about it).Talent goes in cycles and right now the talent has swung away from Bedford Virginia . It was rumored a handful of their impact players left to go to other schools (JF) which decimates a school of their size now. someone floated the narrative that Bedford county has open enrollment as long as you can get yourself to said school (I don’t know the validity of this assertion). As moving to the dogwood would help in most sports but if the talent swings back to Liberty they will go back to being formidable and out classing the dogwood schools which is why I believe they denied them entry.

Will be shocked if EV stays 4A. Alot of building going on in that area.Hey OneMan, is EV growing?
They are expected to go 5A and a new 5A district may be coming together with the likes of Orange, Louisa, and Albemarle. Culpeper will be 4A.Will be shocked if EV stays 4A. Alot of building going on in that area.
Louisa will drop back down to 4?They are expected to go 5A and a new 5A district may be coming together with the likes of Orange, Louisa, and Albemarle. Culpeper will be 4A.
No they will be 5 in the new 5A district this area is talking about.Louisa will drop back down to 4?
I think you would have to put this new district into what would be current-day Region 5D to help balance the regions a little better.They are expected to go 5A and a new 5A district may be coming together with the likes of Orange, Louisa, and Albemarle. Culpeper will be 4A.
