    pioneer district

    Pioneer is down, but let's not get carried away. Narrows, Covington, and PM are okay. They are top five teams in Region C. They would be top five in Region D as well. Does Region B even have five teams? I know PM beat WC.... I'm not sure how they would stack up in Region A. Sadly, our playoff...

    Covington preview

    Saw in the Roanoke papers where Covington doesn't have the numbers to field a JV team this year. That is depressing...hope those kids are practicing with varsity and get to hit somebody.

    How West Virginia does playoffs

    Having two regions with eight teams each is of course a major upgrade to what we have now. Compared to the WV system, it would cut down travel--except for teams like PM and Covington who would be put in the East. One downside is that if there is disparity between the East and West, teams would...

    How West Virginia does playoffs

    You are right that WV has little choice because they don't have enough schools to have a regional system. But that is a blessing in disguise. As for travel times, the 6+ hour trips occur when a team in the southwestern part of the state plays a team in the Eastern Panhandle. In general, as you...

    UPSETS?

    It would be shocking if Auburn beats Covington. I look for Covington to give Narrows a decent game in Round 2.

    Region B Playoffs A Joke

    You have to try and even the numbers out. It doesn't have to be exact, but one region shouldn't have TEN more teams than another region. Just move a couple in A to B, several in C to B, and a few in D to C. Who cares if a handful of teams have to travel a little bit during the playoffs?
