Independence at Hough and Mallard Creek and Watauga are tough Second Round matchups for sure

Watauga has a remote learning day with a 2 hour delay on the start time for instruction.

From what I saw this morning the roads were solid ice in many places.
Well King St doesn’t look bad. The main roads will be fine. Just watch out for slick spots when the sun goes down.

Ashbrook at South Point II (the rematch)

I like south point in this one. I haven't seen them in a number of years but I'm going to try to make it to the game. Everybody says they're one dimensional on offense but they won't mention that offense is won a lot of games!
They are still very much one dimensional but more now than probably ever before they can throw it if they need to.

North Davidson vs North Lincoln

I truly don't care one way or the other, as it doesn't affect me. Just trying to give grace in a world where everyone is quick to believe the first thing they hear.

If this is indeed the case, I'll hear about it eventually. Is it possible that someone on that coaching staff could be that foolish?
Based on my impressions in the 3 seasons I’ve been in the area; sadly I do believe someone on that coaching staff (or admin even) can be that foolish……… haven’t heard much good coming from that school in the last couple of years.

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

Robbinsville vs Wilson Prep next year for 1A championship
We will be very young next year skill wise. But our freshman class and rising freshman class are full of talent. 2026 could be special! I’m not a fan of the new setup at all though. The atmospheres of the Murphy and Swain rematches in the playoffs is hard to beat and kinda like the standard around here anymore.

The Transfer Portal Problem

My point is that life isn't always sunshine and roses. Kids need to learn to deal with some losing, adversity and working hard if they want the team they are on to be better. A high school athlete transferring to another school only to be part of a winning program is BS, in my opinion. As I said, if he/she is dealing with an incompetent or abusive coach, I can see allowing some leeway there. But if the coach in place is effective and he/she is trying to build a winning program, a kid on such a team should not be allowed to transfer.

The transfer portal in college is also BS and I hate it. It is ruining college sports. The if you transfer in college you sit out the next season rule should still be in effect. The only exception I would make to that is if a college coach is fired or leaves to take a higher paying job. In that case, I'd allow kids to transfer and be able to play the next season. A lot of college kids go to a certain school due to the coach. So if that coach is no longer in place, transfers and being able to play the next season should be allowed. The pros are the pros. That is purely a money based business and free agency/moving around is part of that. I have no problem with that.
I understand and agree with you for the most part but it's being done at every level of life including outside of sports. People hate when they are stuck in a bad dead end job.

Oak Grove

You can enter on the visitor side. It is card only (no cash). All parking is located in front of the school. The largest parking lot is by the south end zone. I usually park directly in front of the school, but that isn't as convenient for the away side. You could also park in the smaller lot out by the baseball/softball fields. It isn't far from the visitor entrance.
Thank You

North Davidson vs North Lincoln

It is true. They told him he made all conference. He did not. Plain and simple. Facts over fiction

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

Here are 6 3A teams that have been in the same conference before but at different times, and maybe the new conference with 4 non-conference added. Not that I like it, but if they go with conferences, this may be it. This is just my thinking. These, I think, represent the least amount of travel with some good matchups. Hopefully, they realign every 2 years as fast as ADMs are changing in some areas.

Add these 4 non-conference.

4A None-conference, take your pick, I picked 2 & need 4, ideas ?.
  • North Surry
  • Reidsville
  • Wilkes Central
  • West Stokes
  • Ashe County
  • Forbush
  • Starmount 2A
3A Conference Teams
  1. East Surry
  2. Mount Airy
  3. North Wilkes
  4. Walkertown
  5. West Wilkes
  6. Surry Central

From that list, the other two I think you have to include would be West Stokes and Reidsville. Wilkes Central and Forbush add nothing and Ashe normally isn't as consistent as WS and Reidsville. Plus I feel like traveling to Ashe is worse than the others.

Oak Grove

Hey man. Is there visitor side parking @ OG?
