West Charlotte vs Huss

WC did play 4A with 3A numbers for a few years and it did look like they would have 3A numbers at the last realignment. The time between when the state did realignment and the school year actually started WC numbers begin to jump back up and has climbed every year. WC predicted that it would be around 1300 students prior to last alignment but ended up that first year around 1700 and climbed each year the past four. Teams petition to go down but rarely petition to move up a classification. The difference in numbers are a huge advantage in the smaller classifications.

WC was around 1300-1400 for years during the 2000s. The new school has been better than most thought and the enrollment has grown tremendously the past 3 years. This is due to the feeder middle schools, football success, IB academic focus, and the new southern schools opening.

Now outside of football give me one sport where WC has benefited from being in 3A? Dont worry I'll wait............

Charter in Charlotte area with a 25 mile radius to get athletes. Surprise, they are a good team. Wonder why?

Yes, that's a very easy recipe to have a good basketball team. Football is different but it wouldn't be hard to massage the numbers and have a good 1a football team with that kind of dirt all while playing within the rules. 2A and above would be harder to play by the rules and be above average on a state level.

AWESHUXXXPA had the scoop on these guys until Deana gave him a whooping! 🤣

I am not 100% sure but I think the last alignment, West Charlotte was numbers wise 4a. What brought them down to 3a was the special circumstances clause of low Wachovia points and free lunches.

That's false. WC has been low income since 1999 when the busing changed. They have always been historically 4A. They were at 1756 in 24, 2009 23, 2020 1331, 2019 1577, When they were 4A and there were many 3A schools bigger than them as 2019 they were smaller than most 3A schools. So it had nothing to do with Wachovia points or free lunches. They had a low enrollment whereas schools like Cleveland, Weddington Brown, Cox Mill where in similar positions to WC competing as super large schools in 3A. They basically switched teh bottom 8 or so 4A teams with the top 8 or so 3A teams.

24-10 against North Stanly Comets and trust me when I say the Vomits are a bad football team. They are dumb, undisciplined and not well coached. Monroe is going to be a lot more like playing Crest and Shelby. They are very very fast. Y'all played a barn burner against them 2 years ago. But you are traveling to them, that's gonna be a little tougher. I sincerely hope y'all win.

You described them as if they were Cherryville. They were 6-4 coming into the game so I think your opinion is more personal. They were not a great team but by saying "Vomits" shows me a lot. Offensively they struggled for the most part. They had two drives that were pretty good and one in particular ran the ball right at us. They were a little scrappy too. What impressed me was their defense at times. They were pretty physical. We definitely made them look better at times and once we got up 17-0 it seemed like we got a little too settled in. The coaches fired them back up and sealed the deal with the late score. They were by no means an awful team.

Burns @ Monroe

Yea, I'm not expecting a win this week. But we knew this year would always be a transition year. When your best linebacker is your QB, you're probably going to have some problems. What I don't understand, is the last several years our passing offense has been screens and the deep ball. Which seemed to work a lot. You would think that type of offense would be easy to run for a non-traditional QB with a strong arm. You don't have to make many reads, just get the ball out quick with some zip on it. But we don't do that. Instead, we run, run, run, run some more then take a deep shot. That game against Monroe a couple years ago was a fun one. I haven't seen Monroe this year, but going by their history, we're going to have to play our best game and get a little lucky.

Mt Pleasant vs Community School of Davidson

Depends on which Mount defense shows up. If the defense that played NW Cabarrus and Robinson shows up then Mount wins. If the defense that played against South Stanly and last Friday shows up they may lose. I know they beat SS and won Friday but they did not play good defense in either of those games and in my opinion those were inferior opponents.

Smoky at Pisgah

Yes, I think Erwin wins against Smoky in almost every scenario. Smoky needs long drives that end in points every time. I think Erwin will score almost every possession so if Smoky misses an opportunity it will most likely result in a 2-score swing. As I said elsewhere, I believe Smoky is better equipped to have a chance at winning this game than we would have been. They have been better at consistently moving the chains and getting points from it.

Best of luck to Mitchell and the Western Mountain teams that survived Hurricane Hellene !
Only until and if you play the BEARS. Hoping 🐻🏈does a 3 peat. 😉😉
Hoping that losing by 4 points to Avery woke them up. Mitchell has MA by a few playoff games and we need to catch up. lol...

That's false false false. WC played 4A with 3A numbers for years and previously petitioned to play 4A with 3A enrollment. This last 4 years it just so happened there were more charlotte 3A schools than there has historically ever been so CMS kept them together as it was just a 4 year cycle.

WC enrollment was very low when conferences/class put together. What was not factored in or considered was the new school becoming very popular and POB/Harding losing so many students. WC became the defacto Westside school and has 3 IB feeder middle schools. This is great for the school/community.

Lastly WC went to the 4A state final in 06 and was a 4A basketball power playing in the 4A final in 19. Their basketball team beat another former 4A team for the 3A title. After that their basketball team hasn't even been competitive and no other sport besides football has been remotely competitive in 3A. So adm numbers can be deceiving when it comes to sports. Besides football don't think WC had ANY team in any sport with a winning/competitive record while in 3A.

From what I’ve seen of Monroe the last several years, they are really hard to beat at home and much more vulnerable on the road. Having said that, I’m not sure how this year’s team/talent measures up to the ones I’ve seen.

Good luck to Burns. Hope you guys knock em out.

They were very athletic but had not been tested the last two years.
Opponents records:
Burns - 60 - 60 (5 teams with a winning record)
Monroe - 37 - 69 (1 team with a winning record - Forest Hills)

Friday that will mean nothing. We have our hands full but even in our terrible conference we have still been tested much more. I hope that pays off. Between KM, Crest and Shelby you will not find much tougher games.

Sloppy game and penalties killed them. Played into the Rville plan running up the middle and off tackle too much against that big DL. Waited until Rville had a long scoring drive to adjust to the B gap dive and off tackle run. Did not use their speed and cannot complete a pass to save their lives.

that's bad inexperienced clueless coaching for you. Brown or Gillespie and his staff could have taken that same team and had a winning season.
