[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skyview is going to get placed in the Concorde District and get a rude awaking in sports its first few years.  After that it will rebound in most sports, but probably not football.  Hard to get kids out for that sport when they think they'll get destroyed.[/quote]

Part of the reason they are worried about varsity football is the District they will be in an the possibility of injury by putting too many younger students on the varsity team. They were pretty upfront that the first couple of years of sports would be challenging given the size of the student body and the initial age of the student body but it will even out a few years after sports start at the school.

Don't really care, but they could switch Herndon to the Concorde District and put Skyview into the less competitive Liberty District to replace Herndon.  Concorde and Liberty would then each end up with seven schools.  If was OK to put Herndon into a district that includes schools in eastern Fairfax and Arlington (Liberty), it should be OK to put Skyview in that district.  It's one thing to play Westfield in football, and another thing to play McLean or Wakefield. [/quote]

Also, based on enrollment numbers, they could put Skyview in Class 4 or 5 at first to play smaller schools in Loudoun, and then do a VHSL realignment later when Skyview is closer to 2000 students.  There was a period when Lewis, Marshall, and TJ were smaller and all in Class 5.  [/quote]
