[edit] Broadlands High School Zone
From what I know, Broadlands was part of Broad Run's attendance area until 2000 when Stone Bridge opened, and students who lived in Broadlands went to Stone Bridge until 2005 when Briar Woods opened. As far as I know, no one from Broadlands went to Broad Run after Stone Bridge opened and the class of 2002 graduated from BRHS (as some students stayed rather than went to SB).

- I agree -- I got confused. I'll revert. Thanks.

[edit] School Rival
Interesting issue: who is Broad Run's rival now. It used to be Stone Bridge when it first opened, and SBHS is still listed in the Infobox as a rival and the Rivalries section focuses exclusively on SBHS. However, this year Broad Run barely competes with Stone Bridge in any sport. I question whether this info is still applicable. Of course that raises the question of just who is BRHS's rival. ??????

[edit] Answer to BRHS' Rival
Broad Run's rival is still Stone Bridge despite their move to AAA, and Stone Bridge will remain there until at least 2009, but probably indefinitely since they are doing really well in the Northern Region. BR and SB don't play each other in football which may be the reason why many think the rivalry is gone. The reason why SB won't play BR or any AA school is because of the power points system the VHSL uses, not because of BR's "not so great" program. This points system gives more points to wins over AAA schools than AA's, etc. This is how Park View got to the playoffs last year though their record was worse than Heritage's as the Patriots played Valley and Herndon, while Heritage played single A schools out in West Virginia like the rest of the Loudoun AA schools who are either too scared to play AAA schools nearby, or AAA schools who don't want to lose power points by playing Loudoun schools. My guess is both. Valley still plays County and PV as non district opponents, Stone Bridge could too, but the Vikings are playing them at their risk; if their district record isn't like last year's they may be snubbed. Given SB's reputation in football, they will not play any AA's which basically alienates them from all the Loudoun schools now except Valley, but this will ultimately help them get a better seed in the playoffs.
Anyway, in almost every other sport that I know of, BR and SB will play each other at least once; it was that way last year so they still are rivals, and will always be so. Before SB opened, BR's primary rival was Park View, especially when there were only four Loudoun County high schools. This rivalry is starting to come back because Dominion and Potomac Falls are very close to each other on the north side of Route 7 (PV is south); and also Stone Bridge is AAA too.
