Thought about that possibility, too. We were in the WNCHSAA (For most of it) Southwest conference, along with Shelby, Chase, East Rutherford, Kings Mountain, Belmont (later South Point), and Rutherfordton-Spindale Central... Burns and Crest opened around 1968 (Not sure of year, memory only), and we were I think moved to the SD 7 for a couple years after 1972, then into a conference with Statesville and Newton-Conover around 1977.

The old Southwest conference was really good, and we liked it there. Recall Coach Harris being very disappointed when we got removed from it, he appealed, with Shelby and South Point backing us, but it wasn't upheld... Wish I could think of a better word than removed, but it just isn't coming to me, today. Guess I could say taken out or extracted, but one sounds like the discarding of a refrigerator, and the other sounds like dental surgery.

I was just aggravating you man. South Point is tough especially at home.

It’s a game I’d like to watch.

No problem. I am pulling for all Big South other than Ashbrook.

I was almost ready to get off when this came to mind. The BEARS are on a 41-game winning streak and Back-to-Back State Championships so I do believe that does give us some bragging rights. Do you agree or disagree ?

As far as the far western part of the state I don’t see how you don’t avoid split conferences. Should look something like this. McDowell is always in a tough spot especially since they are going to be 7A.

WMAC 6A/5A
Roberson 6A
Asheville 6A
AC Reynolds 6A
Enka 5A
Erwin 5A
West Hendo 5A
North Hendo 5A

Mountain 7 5A/4A
Franklin 5A
Smoky 5A
North Buncombe 5A
Pisgah 4A
Tuscola 4A
East Hendo 4A
Brevard 4A

Western Highlands 3A/2A
Hendo 3A
Owen 3A
Polk 3A
Mountain Heritage 3A
Madison 3A
Avery 2A
Mitchell 2A

SMC 2A/1A
Swain 2A
Murphy 2A

I think you could just as easily do this:

McDowell and the Asheville 6As stay in the conference I outlined above and you have one less split conference by keeping the 5As together.

yes for all 32 games next week and going forward

When my daughter was playing at NHHS, there was some forum action at nc-soccer.net, but that site no longer exists. This is the most soccer info i have seen in about 20 years.

I see both sides of the Shelby/reidsville split. If they are together, they can actively control whether Shelby can close the gap in the number of championships each school has won.

But where is the fun in that. We need them apart. Shelby needs to claim reidsville is scared and has a cupcake schedule. Reidsville just needs to sit back and point at the total numbers. These boards would be an awfully boring place in the off-season if we can not make post and after post dealing with the hypotheticals and what ifs.

Nope not harassing bear fans. Mostly I just respond when they have harassed others . Like when you constantly berate Preps, the very forum that gets you an opportunity to express yourself. To me if an issue is really important this is not the place to address it.

This is going to be an entertaining game if you like to see old school physical football. It’s hard to beat a good team twice and the same season. That being stated I think Ashbrook defense seeing the SP offense for a second time in the same season will make it a little tougher on South Point. I think this game will be another low scoring defensive contest. I hate that two of the top teams in the Big South 3A have to play in the second round. This game can go either way.

Have you ever wondered why you think everyone is harassing you? My grandmother Had a great saying about people like you- "Bless his little heart." Hopefully, your southern enough to get that. BTW, why don't you admit your mistakes? Is your ego that fragile?

I’ll definitely be there cheering on my guys and would be interested in chatting with some of yall! Thanks for the kind words @BlackKnightNut!

No food right close by, and based on above I will not recommend the BBQ (I’m not a big fan of the Lexington red / vinegar based sauce anyway). I’ll get behind the recommendation for Nick’s Old Fashioned Burgers there in Welcome just past ND high any day; I love that place!!! It is about a 10-15 min drive to OGHS - get there a bit early though as the wait can be a bit!!

Aside from that there are a few decent Mexican joints in the same area I’m told (one 2 doors from Nicks, and another about 1-2 miles past Nicks). Aside from that it’s mostly chains unless you do Randy’s (in NDHS parking lot if open for dinner), Steven’s, or the Arcadia Restaurant (last two both in Arcadia/Midway area).

WOW, I would love some good cornbread ! I used to cook a lot but I don't have the patience to cook too often. It is hard to cook only for myself. I tried Food Lion cornbread once and threw it out for the birds. It tasted nowhere near cornbread. lol
