Have you seen some of the new region alignments?
This is why conferences should be geographical and then re-align for tournament purposes only (with everyone getting in in team sports outside football).
I see several trips of over 90 minutes, that go through major traffic areas. So 2+ hours on a bus.
Conferences are geographical after enrollment is taken into account.
Look at 5A
Region 1: Hillcrest, J. L. Mann, Mauldin, T. L. Hanna, Woodmont
Region 2: Byrnes, Dorman, Riverside, Spartanburg, Wade Hampton
Region 3: Boiling Springs, Clover, Fort Mill, Gaffney, Nation Ford
Region 4: Blythewood, Northwestern, Ridge View, Rock Hill, Spring Valley
Region 5: Chapin, Dutch, Fork, Lexington, River Bluff, White Knoll
Region 6: Carolina Forest, Conway, Socastee, St. James, Sumter
Region 7: Berkeley, Cane Bay, Goose Creek, Stratford, Wando
Region 8: Ashley Ridge, Fort Dorchester, Stall, Summerville, West Ashley
Most conferences have few travel issues. Only Regions 4 and 6 would have issues. Other regions are similar with the greatest travel probably in 1A, and several of them do not have soccer.
