Not perfect, but maybe best case scenario for Thomasville. If there are only three 1A teams in a conference, can two make the playoffs? If not, the Thomasville vs. North Rowan game will be huge every year.
I think the top team in a split league deserves an automatic bid-but not a number 1 seed if they are seeding teams the way we used to.
I think the NCHSAA is looking for at going towards using predetermined playoff brackets based on what they are doing for the spring.
If it stays I'd say that's a win for Thomasville. Will be some decent gates at least.
The whc in basketball will be a beast
I hope they are finally out of the SMC, you can't drive to Rosman from this end of the state.Rosman will fight this.
Probably wont matter though.
Hahahahaha.... Just think about the Rosman fans.... Multiple trips over the mountain each year while the other teams in the SMC only have to drive it once every other year..... LOLI hope they are finally out of the SMC, you can't drive to Rosman from this end of the state.
Seeding should go by maxpreps not TJ getting a 1 seed for veating Rosman.
I hope Rosman gets it turned around and spanks tj yearly.

I think this will still be the Northwest Conference 1A-2A
In football, each football school will only have 5 Conference games sense Millennium Charter has no football team yet but I hear it is in their future. That should give them 4 non-conference games plus 1 endowment game. Looks good to me. Not much of a change since all but MC played each other in conference and non-conference. Good to be rid of the Forsyth Co. schools ! Should be all good gates.
Marc Payne is well respected in Chapel Hill, but who they bumping out?I wouldn't be shocked to see Ashe win if they appeal

Ashe can appeal, but they won't win a reclassification appeal (the classes are set and that's a done deal for at least 2 years). If they appeal to switch conferences, where else do you put them? The NCHSAA isn't going to make a 1A/2A/3A split conference. In 2 years, that's a different story. I could see them petition to move back down to 2A at the mid-cycle point, citing lower ADM, lower Wells Fargo standing, possible change in ISP. There have been plenty of schools to do this in the past (recent examples that come to mind are North Forsyth dropping from 3A to 2A and South Stokes dropping from 2A to 1A a few years back).Forbush might get kicked to conference 34 or 36.
I want to see Ashe go 3A and I have a lot of respect for Payne, but I've seen this game before.

Even with dropping a game, it's not going to be easy for SMC teams to fill out a schedule if Rosman goes away. They would have the back half of the schedule for conference and five open dates to fill at the beginning of the schedule. Not an easy thing to do in the far western tip of NC.
You can appeal classes but the odds of it being changed without some mistake in the data is very low.
