N Wilkes defeated E Surry by 40+ in the championship.
OG def E Forsyth for 3rd.
WF def FCD for 5th.
Tabor def E Wilkes for 7th

Reagan defeated Parkland for the championship in the Atrium Health bracket.

I would say the CPC is a toss up this year.
Overall, a weak conference compared to the other 4A conferences in the west.
N Wilkes should be a state contender in the 2A west. I would say E Burke is the favorite.
Oak Grove is probably the favorite in their conference with Ledford being the biggest threat.

Mack is Back Part 2

New coach will clean house. The only guy I see that has a chance of staying is the TE coach due to his experience in both college and the NFL. The new regime will make Bryce a priority but in no way do I believe Bryce is tied to Chip, who hasn’t proved a thing at UNC.
Thought this was interesting from the 247 article on Baker

“Penn State has a unique tie to Baker, as quarterbacks coach Danny O'Brien played at East Forsyth. O'Brien has played a major part in Penn State's continued pursuit of Baker.”

Dad’s either a very media savvy guy, or had some help on that quote. In other words, keep Lindsey or we’re gone.

West Charlotte at Erwin

Let me rephrase…. The schools like Asheville and ac Reynolds in the wnc mountains don’t seem to be making deep runs anymore cause we don’t have the horses. We certainly haven’t and Reynolds has had 1-2 pretty good runs the last 7-8 years.
My theory on this goes like this. Love or hate the old school coaches like Wilkins Poss etc but the way mountain teams stay successful are to play a different style of football. Ground and pound ball control etc. When Asheville and ACR did that they were more successful. The spread crap plays right into the hands of the teams farther east. ACR and Asheville have as many or more athletes than they ever have but the teams east of us have more. Those teams they play in the playoffs have seen the spread all year. Asheville and ACR can just out athlete everyone around here normally but that’s here. We need to quit trying to do what everyone else does. We have to out physical the East. I know the lower classifications aren’t the same as the upper but the Heritage’ and Robbinsville’ and so on of the world do out physical their opponents. They do against the bigger schools that give them the opportunity around here as well. Just a thought
