West Point and Clarke County will now play this year. Manassas Park was on Clarke's schedule. Manassas Park's student demographic data shows 52 percent Hispanic and 8 percent Asian. As the trend of demographics in many parts of the country favoring soccer continues to grow, the numbers for football at some of these Northern VA schools will continue to drop.
This is less likely for the 6A schools because of the absolute size, 2500ish kids and they will still get kids out.
