Different people have different favorite sports, but as for classifying a sport as 'major' for the general population, one thing to go by would be whether or not the state championship is on statewide TV (and yes, I realize that VB is not televised by network tv)

What they have accomplished in recent years is amazing and there is no doubt that lots of work went in across the board. Not knowing much about the district my question is how does a town with a population of 1000 have over 200 kids in high school? Does some of there district contain Grand Forks developments or are the open enrollment numbers just that high?

They don't have 200+ kids in the HS. DPI says 149 for their fall enrollment in 2018
Take a look at Kindred. 212 enrollment with a 762 population.
