While I don’t disagree with you that it should be more centrally located, how many teams 1A teams play east of Richmond? The fact is the largest number of schools is to the west so to draw a gate for those not actually in the game, it sort of makes sense to hold it towards the West. I would think Lynchburg or Charlottesville makes sense but that’s still a long drive for any team from the east. It’s a question those teams from Region A and even several Region B teams need to ask the VHSL. I can pretty much guarantee that Galax and Riverheads would play on blacktop at the pier in Virginia Beach if that’s where the game was being held.
