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.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.
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.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.
Amazing how that works when a certain someone not a huge far of them and is also with NCHSAA we all know who did that..Eastern Randolph is now 3A
He is a tough kid but he takes a pounding. He probably is just playing through a lot of things. Playing physical teams do not help his cause. I will be surprised if he decides to play football next season due to his college baseball commitment.Look at Blee's performance last Friday against MC. I believe he is fine.
Coached a lil stent at the ol ERCoach Shankle played at UNC. We played them at Starmount in 2021 in 1st Rd.
Best of luck to Mitchell and the Western Mountain teams that survived Hurricane Hellene !Think the Mitchell game will be a lot like the Heritage game.
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.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.
Yes but a Gibbons Charlotte Catholic finals would be epic.Gibbons has no business playing 6A. They have way too many “advantages” to play in any division other than 8A.
Thanks for the correction. I know from my experience, playing sports for Hickory in the 1980's I still stand by my statement.The game was in Hickory 2 weeks ago.
Can we see the changes?Login to view embedded media
The finalized ADM numbers after review West Charlotte and a couple of other schools were moved to different classifications from the original ADM posted. West Charlotte is now 8A while Richmond and Reagan were moved down to 7A.
They have to give us something. You can take away the pass or you can take away the run but they can’t do both!I agree that schedule just ain’t battle tested..KM had developed that knack for finishing games I think JM in trouble big Tex and Hill gone have a field day
Yes sir!Good Luck SD24 - Nothing like going to their house and delivering basketballs..
The game was in Hickory 2 weeks ago.Hickory by 30 this time. The refs should be neutral this time. It's always hard for Hickory to beat Statesville in Statesville, it's been that way since at least 1980....
They were very athletic but had not been tested the last two years.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.
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.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.
We had a few kids that had transferred to Thomasville during those years. different times then. Now most people that went to Thomasville don't even want to send their kids there.My favorite. Also we were in the same class and probably played against each other in little league and middle school. I wanted to transfer to Tville senior year with us getting a new coach but mom and dad wouldn't hear of it lol.
Quan had the best vision I ever saw reading blocks. Just a yard gainer. Wish I could have blocked for him. I always compare him as a high school version of Emmitt Smith. Good times... I went to all the state title games.
