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 2007-08, Group A began a two-division format to promote equity and opportunity for the smallest schools to compete for a state championship. 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.
The 2009 VHSL champions in Group A-D1 - Buffalo Gap, Swoope; Group A D-2 - George Mason High School, Falls Church; Group AA D-3 - Freedon High School, South Riding; Group AA D-4 - Loudoun County High School, Leesburg and Group AAA - Princess Anne High School, Virginia Beach.
