Girls Basketball
DID YOU KNOW -- VHSL held girls basketball championships from 1920-27 before resuming championship competition in 1975. Girls basketball was a fall sport in Group AAA from 1975-77 before switching to a winter sport; and a fall sport in Group A and AA from 1975 until 2002.

In 2008-09, Group AA began a two-division championship format. James W. Robinson Secondary School of Fairfax has won a VHSL-record six state championships followed by Blacksburg High School and Radford High School with five titles apiece.
