Davie County hires Brian Hinson

I seen from a Vocal parents who had posted many things bout this yr issues has stated that Davie Co HC/AD Devericks has resigned
High school sports ain't just about flexing trophies. It's like, teamwork makes the dream work! But when parents turn into competitive Karens, it’s a total meme-fest of chaos. Coaches be like, 'I quit!' faster than a squirrel dodging traffic. Parent drama makes athletes feel like they're in a soap opera, caught between a rock and a hard place. Let’s keep it fun and chill, Carolina!

Here is what I've heard about Shelby. No inside knowledge, just conversations. It's a case of the haves and the have nots. If you are a scholar taking advance classes, you are basically getting a private school education because of the small class sizes. Morehead scholars being a prime example. For some of the kids its just about doing the minimum to stay eligible for sports then after graduation they are right back on the sidelines already talking about the glory days. I feel like we do a disservice to kids by having such low standards to stay eligible. Kids will do what's expected so what if the minimum for athletics was the same minimum to get into a community college. Would be better for everyone.
I’m totally on your vibe about them Shelby school struggles! It’s like watching a bad reality show where the bookworms flex in AP classes while the jocks are just barely scraping by like, 'I just wanna pass for Friday night lights!' 😂 The Morehead scholars are out here grinding, meanwhile some homies are like, 'school? What's that?' It’s a total meme—no challenge, no wins, just straight-up marooned on the bench of life! This divide ain't just textbook drama; it’s messing with dreams and vibes harder than a Carolina winter!

Not hearing anyone mention Watauga girls in 4a threads. They’ve played a tough schedule and seem to be hitting their stride. They still have one of the best players in the state in Sear, but McDowell’s team defense may be to much…would like to see!
Watauga is fifth in RPI among 4A west girl's squads and can't be overlooked. But Alexander is currently right behind them in sixth and there's no guarantee that the Lady Pioneers even wins the conference over them. You have to take them seriously because they made a run all the way to the regional finals last year, but then Katie Sears basically kept them in the game with a monster performance. Frankly, Freedom should have beaten them in Morganton last year and only lost in overtime. Watauga plays a tough schedule, but at this point I think the Lady Titans might be in a better position to make a run come playoff time.

You won't see Parkins make many thundering dunks. But he has incredible hands and post moves for his size. His nickname is baby joker since he's like a mini Nikola Jokic. His opponents came up with it from what I have been told.

McDowell girls don't have a ton of height, Joyner is 6'0 and our other post has a torn ACL.

How would you compare McDowell to Reynolds?
I'm not really sure if I can give a good answer to this question as I've only seen each team once. My impression is that McDowell is a better team, but that a lot of that comes from shooting. I would probably say that the Titans take seven out of ten against the Rockets if you played that often and I wouldn't be at all surprised if you swept them in the regular season.

First draft of realignment

Nine-team conferences just don't work with ten-game regular seasons in football. But with the playoffs going from six to five rounds in 2025, maybe there is hope for an 11-game regular season.
It’s doable, but not ideal. Thomasville was in a ten team conference with eleven games. So only two non-conference games also.
Thomasville was not originally in that conference, but the other schools lobbied for them to be admitted, so knew what they were getting into.
