The VHSL Black Diamond District is in Group A (for schools with <700 students). It is located within the panhandle of Virginia, in the deep southwestern part of the state, and includes high schools from the counties of Russell, Buchanan, and Dickenson. Due to lower populations in the area, the high schools are spread farther apart, and so the district does not follow the conventional VHSL method for regular season district games. One school typically travels to an opposing school, the two teams play a double-header, and the night of quizbowl is over. Each year, the home team match-up between two particular teams switches.
Honaker is the typical powerhouse of the district and has won the regular season and/or district tournament for thirteen consecutive years, earning a spot in the VHSL Region D tournament every year since the VHSL founded the Scholastic Bowl activity.
Grundy recently joined the District and Group due to a drop in student enrollment. They finished third in the regular season and was runner-up in the Black Diamond tournament.
There are five schools in the district:
- Honaker High, of Honaker, VA
- Twin Valley High of Pilgrim's Knob, VA
- Haysi High of Haysi, VA
- Council High, of Council, VA
- Hurley High, of Hurley, VA
- Grundy High, of Grundy, VA
