Piedmont District to add two teams?
Halifax County, G.W.-Danville would join under VHSL proposal

The Virginia High School League’s Redistricting and Reclassification Committee proposed at a Thursday meeting to add G.W.-Danville and Halifax County high schools to the five-school Piedmont District, according to two people present at the meeting: Magna Vista athletic director Mike Minter and Martinsville Principal Ajamu “Aji” Dixon.

The proposal, which would go into effect beginning in the 2013-14 academic year, also includes expanding the current three athletic classifications to six (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A) based on school enrollment, Minter and Dixon said. That had previously been proposed at a Dec. 19 VHSL meeting.
