they always been better except maybe a few years if you wanna be real no one was beating crest in 2a in 2014
no one was beating havelock on their run either in 2a
or southern durham
and no one was beating charlotte catholic on their run either like lets just be serious 8-9/10 the bigger schools gonna win against a lower one when you talking the top schools from each classification
we clearly see that with CC now shelby is probably the best 2a team ever depending on who u ask its most certainly between shelby and reidsville im not disrespecting them their a great program but as i said before year in year out havelock putting the belt to almost everyone in your conference if we had to play every season and not just when we both happen to be great in states
All I know is Shelby beat the brakes off South Point in 2016, and they went on to win 3A. Also, schools like Monroe and South Point had much more success in the 3A than they did 2A. Carver used to be hell in 3A, dropped down to 2A, and immediately became irrelevant.
But, anyway, Shelby nor Havelock has anything to brag on the last couple of years. Shelby last won a title in ‘21, and would have put belt to ass vs Havenot.😁
