Trivia Question

[SpartanOfYore]

I'm defining the "modern era" of the VHSL as beginning with the big reorganization into the classic AAA, AA, and A system in the fall of 1970. That year was also the advent of the football playoffs.

The trivia question is:
Since the beginning of the VHSL's modern era in 1970, only three public schools in Virginia have won three or more state championships in both football and boys basketball. What are the three schools?

Let's see who can get this without looking it up!

The Spartans are one and the other two I believe are Hampton and Altavista.

I think that's right. I knew Salem and Altavista, wasn't sure about Hampton basketball because I don't follow basketball closely like I do football.

We have a winner, right off the bat. Well done!
