Re: Reclassification vs The WV State Duals Qualification

Bearhugger, are you using the list posted by WVU (their Forum name) on another post, which may be just some random and unknown poster on another websites idea of what they think it should be? I've asked on that post the source of this Realignment thay everyone is reacting to.

Re: Reigon 1 AA-A compared to Region 4 AA-A and the rest of AA-A

Ok again is region one tougher than region 2,3, and 4? The answer is “yes” Generally speaking, I believe it is more difficult to place top 4 in Region 1 AA/A, than in the other three regions and this is possibly shown by the number of placers at the state tournament, in the 7 years being discussed....

Would love to know the stats of state place winners/champions that have come from Region 1 AA-A compared to the other regions since the 2016-2017 season when Region 1 scooped up Berkely Springs, Frankfort, and Keyser. Since that season Region 1 has become ridiculously unbalanced compared to the res...
