Found out from my AD tonight that when the VHSL meets in the fall with the Principals and AD's option 3 from the realignment concerns PowerPoint will be voted in to effect. Option 3 is:
Legislate Four regions per class (12-14 schools per region) and remove conferences all together. Play a district schedule and then use the smaller regions as the playoff grouping.
Pluses – Eliminates a component (conferences) that some believe is not working; gives some old system (three classification) feel to the new system (six classification); football region finals now can occur within the region schedule; two reps per region – eight team state event most sports.
Minuses – All-in region creates travel issues greater than with the conference component; some regions have worked out the issues and actually have a well functioning situation; this is change on top of change.
SO basically they are going back to the old setup.
