Time for 1A Schools to form Associaton

[Catawbavalleybasketball]

It is time for the 1A boundary schools to form their own state association. This should not be only basketball but for all sports. Football will soon be dominated by the non-boundary schools. Superintendents, principals, athletic directors, and coaches of traditional 1A schools need to unite and form a state-wide association.

The NCHSAA will not make any changes unless the non-boundary schools get larger, then you will see change. Presently the voice of the 1A school is completely overshadowed by the three classifications. These larger schools just " don't care" what is happening to the little schools.

I called for this 5 years ago. It's coming much sooner than later. imo. There's an old saying, if something can't go on forever, it won't. Should be done now, but just wait till a non boundry school wins state in football. 1A schools will be out the door before the trophy is even presented to the winning team lol.

If that were to happen you need to addrss the advantage some "Boundary ???? Schools" have as far as allowing transfers. We all know who they are; most have won multiple state championships in football. Then we need to tighten down on the schools that misteriously drop to 1A with 2A numbers.

It would have to be a pretty small association not to go back to the same problem people forget about from before Prep and Bishop came onto the scene...which was that schools with 800-900 kids (Burlington Cummings, Thomasville, Maiden, Surry Central, Jordan-Matthews, Polk County, South Stokes) were in 1A and were the teams to beat every year...

Look at it this way, in the eight years since Prep's first title in '08, charter/magnet/parochial schools have taken 10 spots at the men's west regionals and won 6 of the titles. In the eight years before that (2000-2007) schools that are now 2A (in part because of the influx of smaller charter/magnets) took 14 spots at the west regionals and won 5 of the 8 titles. It's kind of pick your poison for a 500 student or smaller "traditional" school.
