[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not *less competitive* just with similar size schools.  Marshall was one of the smallest in Liberty District before they were moved to Capitol.  Madison, on the other hand, beginning this fall is in Concorde w/ Oakton, Cville, Chantilly and Westfield.[/quote]

The district with the smaller schools was decidedly less competitive, both because most of the schools in that district were smaller but also because they had more students who have after-school jobs and fewer students who play sports (Stuart, Lee, Falls Church, Edison, Wakefield).

The placements are  getting shuffled around again soon, and Marshall will have to play tougher competition again, at least in the regional competition.  [/quote]

Marshall is in the newly formed National District (with Stuart, Lee, Falls Church, Edison, TJ, Wakefield) for the next two years at least. Marshall has been winning lots of district titles, and would likely not want to move up to a district with more competitive, larger schools. [/quote]

They are going to be allowed to play in the National District ("District 5") for the next two years against the weaker teams, but at the same time they are being moved up from Class 5 to Class 6 (Region D) for regional purposes.  Not sure how that works out in practice - they may win district titles in some sports and then get butchered in regional competition.  Either way with so many more kids than they had 10 years ago they will be more competitive in major sports.   [/quote]
