News: VHSL Initial Proposal Alignment Plan for 2013-14, 2014-15 Moves Briar Woods, Potomac Falls, Tuscarora, Woodgrove All up to AAA

(Nov. 30, 2011) - In the next two-year alignment plan proposed by the Virginia High School League, Loudoun will have more AAA schools (seven) than AA schools (six) with Briar Woods, Potomac Falls, Tuscarora, Woodgrove slotted to move up from AA to join current AAA schools Broad Run, Freedom and Stone Bridge. The proposal, which will be approved in the spring after debate and appeals, covers the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.

A proposed Cedar Run District in the Northwest Region would have six Loudoun schools -- Briar Woods, Broad Run, Freedom, Potomac Falls, Tuscarora, Woodgrove -- joining Sherando. Current Cedar Run schools Battlefield, Osbourn, Patriot and Stonewall Jackson would shift to the Cardinal District.

Stone Bridge would remain in the Liberty District in the Northern Region though there may be a push for some in Loudoun to get the Bulldogs into the Cedar Run District, which would give that district 8 teams, and create some tremendous local district rivalries with Broad Run, Briar Woods and Stone Bridge all based near each other in Ashburn.

The proposed slimmed down Dulles District, currently nine teams, would have six schools with John Champe High School, opening in the South Riding/Stone Hill area next year, joining Dominion, Heritage, Loudoun County, Loudoun Valley and Park View in an all-Loudoun AA district.
