Burns @ Monroe

Nah, it’s not like that. I seriously think these are all good games. I just think a lot of people are interested to see if Monroe is for real or not. They have blown out all of their opposition in previous seasons, only to flop in the playoffs.
For Burns and CC football let’s hope Burns can go shock the world and pull the upset, causing another flop.
I see some saying Burns can do it and others thinking the other way.

Conferences or regions

Not picking on them, but who is going to travel to N Stokes to play them unless you are looking for a win. I am sure there are N. Stokes spread throughout the state. This is where conference comes into play.

And first statement coming soon.

That's definitely a con which is an argument for conferences.

Of course if I'm an Elkin, Surry Central, South Stokes, West Wilkes, Alleghany, Bishop, Prep or Forbush, North Stokes is on my schedule.

Final ADM Numbers - 11/19 - 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A

It would make more sense to keep them together. Instead of the chance of both winning, they would be battling for the same title. Would definitely make 3A interesting each and every year.
It ultimately don't matter to me. I prefer to beat the best. " To be the best, you gotta be at the best" but if they stayed 3a you would probably get great payouts on championship games because Shelby out of the West and Reidsville out of the East.

Viewed his Hudl, he can definitely throw it. I know the Forest Hills guys are obviously more familiar with him. But, he definitely has to be the focal point of the defense. That and slowing the game down is a must for Burns. This is the most interesting game in 2A West this Friday, in my opinion.
Don't break my heart...you're not interested in us?

Burns @ Monroe

Jordan Young could have easily been recruited as a receiver or a safety. He signed with Clemson to play safety. Keegan Chambers the QB was a bigger issue IMO when we played them. If Burns can cover the receivers your problem is him running. I know have said that before but it was FH's BIG issue that night because we did a pretty good job containing his passing game. (1 TD 2 Ints) They also have multiple RBs. that are all good. Zion Lindsey is probably the best but they seem to spread around the wealth as you might say with the running game.

Will Conferences not exist?

Well, you sure don't act like a State Patrolman. I knew him ( Dan Kiger) very well and many other patrolmen in the area. Also many knew me from mainly one job but several other jobs. I knew one that lived off HWY 52 North, one in the Fairfield development, and one on old HWY 601. I also knew several others not as well but my job in the late 1980s & 1990s is how I got to know them.
You probably knew some of the older guys like Homer Young and Will Wilburn (just died a few weeks ago). They were all excellent Troopers.

I agree, we can all agree they are likely the favorite to win it all if this is a blowout. I think we are looking to see if it’s any chinks in their armor

Does the qb throw it well too? One player can make a huge difference in an offense. Do they have any compliments to go along with him. People say they have athletes and speed but wasn’t sure how the rb’s and receivers were.

Final ADM Numbers 11/19 - 1A, 2A, 3A

I, as you, have no idea what will happen. Like I’ve said many times, the all Randolph conference has been great for both gates and limited travel costs. ER has been the only 1A football school in that conference and they have done pretty well these past four seasons. The only difference in a new conference would be the numbers at the front, few more 3As and a couple of 4s.
I would hate that for the Davidson county schools. Got a few friends at a couple of them.
But like you said, we just talking and really have no influence on what’s going to happen. Either way I will continue to read your posts because I believe we are like minded individuals.
Assuming there are conferences instead of that weird “region” thing, I would think that split conferences would be a last resort. But. I guess in some areas, the last resort would make the most sense, especially from a travel perspective.
If the current RPI formula is used, and there are split conferences, I think it unnecessarily complicates the playoff pairings. But maybe that’s just me.
Not that I have a vote, but my preference is always minimal travel, some parity and maintenance of long time rivals where possible. Oh, and don’t put us in with those High Point schools. They bring out the worst in our players and fans.

What these fellas don't know is that I was a supervisor in Mayberry for two years. I worked alongside the likes of Dan Kiger, Ricky Lawson, Anthony Chambers, the Jones Brothers, Bob Boyce and many other legends in that area. As a matter of fact, I attended a rival NWC high school. I've watched football all over this State thanks to my career. My stint in Charlotte was probably my favorite. Saw some excellent athletes play, including Sam Howell and Will Shipley.
