Martinsville leaving the Piedmont
- Thread starter BoKnowsSports
- Start date
Martinsville has been considering this move for a few years. It's for the best for everyone, it will open up a date for the 3 and 4A schools to schedule a game to strengthen their resume for the playoffs and it will allow the Dogs a chance to compete against schools alot closer to their size.
Why not the Dogwood? They’ll be making a lot of trips over the mountain now
I do like the move. Them and Radford will be a premier game in the state for basketball.
Excited about all of those future Hoops matchups between Radtown and Martinsville. Could be as many as 5 times in one season like Auburn and George Wythe often do, if both are good for that given yearWhy not the Dogwood? They’ll be making a lot of trips over the mountain now

Same here. VA High School Sports are better when both of those programs are good. It’s good to see Patrick County on the come up in football and basketball as well.
Martinsville to lovingston would be a hike for a soccer game on Tuesday night.Why not the Dogwood? They’ll be making a lot of trips over the mountain now

True that. I was hoping that Nelson went to the Shenandoah. They’re 25 min to Waynesboro vs 90 to Ringgold.
@BoKnowsSports, Nelson to the 'doah sounds like a good idea until you realize that Alleghany and Rockbridge are joining so the district will have 9 teams already (Riverheads, Draft, Waynesboro, Wilson, Fort, Gap, Staunton, Alleghany, and Rockbridge) starting next year.
Always made more sense for them to be in the doah. But, the doah is adding Rockbridge and Allegheny. Puts them at 5 class 3 and I would imagine Fort will be back in class 3 in the very near future and Draft is always right at the line. So the Doah will have almost primarily class 3 with the other two augusta county schools(riverheads and gap) being class 1. Would make sense for those two to join the pioneer with that district being pretty much all class 1.
Because the Three Rivers were willing to take Martinsville, especially with Alleghany leaving. There were overtures made to the Dogwood a few years ago when all this talk started and they weren't interested. Remember they voted not to take Liberty-Bedford a couple of years ago when they were trying to leave the Seminole.Why not the Dogwood? They’ll be making a lot of trips over the mountain now
