The only news regarding Region 4B during the Fall was that it would become the biggest region in the state with the addition of Richmond-area teams. Has anyone heard if Region 4B came up with a solution or if there is going to be any movement amongst Class 4 schools to provide more balance to the regions when those moves take place?
Any word on Region 4B?

The Virginia High School League executive committee approved a plan that reduces Class 4, Region B to 17 schools in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.
The region, which currently includes Richmond-area schools along with schools in the Fredericksburg and Charlottesville areas, was going to balloon to 20 schools under the VHSL’s future alignment plan.
Instead, Louisa, Orange County and Western Albemarle agreed to move to Class 4, Region D, trimming Region B to 17 schools.
Adjustments to the VHSL's current four-year classification plan created an overcrowded region. After two years -- in 2021-22 -- schools can move up or down in one of the six classifications (Class 6 is for the highest enrollments) as enrollments change. Each class is divided into four regions.
Area schools Atlee, Henrico, Matoaca and Varina saw enrollments decrease enough that they got approval from the league in July to drop from Class 5 to Class 4. They're scheduled to join Dinwiddie, George Wythe, Hanover, Huguenot, Mechanicsville, Monacan, Patrick Henry and Powhatan in 4B.

Some potentially exciting FB playoff matchups!
May be the best basketball region in the state. GW, Louisa, Western have all played in the state championship in the past 3 years. Western has a very good basketball program.
