The state had already said 1A and 2a would be combined. Will be combined for wrestling as well. In any sport if less than 50% offer it they get combined with the next higher class.

Can't say I agree with that, but oh well!! Less surprising when your dealing with a bunch of clowns which is what the NCHSAA is!!!

I did not know that Sarah Strong is from NC? Regardless, Strong is really really really good. No doubt.

Really like the new SC rule. One penalty free transfer then must sit out set number of days/games. This is regardless of residency. Then rising SRs have 22 days regardless if they transfer in 26-27. Transfers are gonna happen and happen at most HS. The issue is recruiting but its hard to prove that in most cases. Having a great program is the best recruiting tool IMHO.

It can be proved its whether someone wants to go through the process of proving it. Phone and electronic records/messages never die.

Recruiting and transfer portal is happening everywhere. Coaches are even fighting for transfer kids who will be backups at their school where they would start at the school they take them from. Is absolutely out of control.

I am a firm believer that actual high school coaches should not be “actively” involved in recruiting another school’s athletes. I am pretty lenient when it comes to families moving into a district. I even understand kids, trainers, and others that support programs making suggestions to parents. When high school coaches that are on staff are the ones on the phone, making promises, and “hosting visits” that’s problematic. Those coaches are looking out for their program and not the kid.

The state had already said 1A and 2a would be combined. Will be combined for wrestling as well. In any sport if less than 50% offer it they get combined with the next higher class.

With regards to 1A I think 16 is enough since you only have a handful of teams some of which as mentioned earlier are Charters and aren't playing Football. 16 to me is enough

Definitely pulling for West Charlotte in this matchup. Indy coaches trying to close the gap by any means necessary. You would think that there are enough kids in Mecklenburg that a Charlotte school doesn’t have to tamper with kids two counties away. A coach selling lies, making promises that no one can guarantee, and risking a kids eligibility as a senior is shameful in my opinion but carry on 😊

Can’t wait for that Shelby JV schedule to drop…
Let’s see it SL.

Click to expand...

We do start out playing a 5A and a 6A power.

Tales from the Darkside was another one that was creepy in it's own sense!!

I ain’t gonna read no more of this about St. Stephens!…nope!

Keep it up and you’ll be sportin’ a fresh SSAW!😂

St. Stephens was YOUNG! last year…wait and see!…They gonna give both of the Bear teams all they want!

Let’s go! Coach Lowman!😉

For the Maiden posters…remember the Maiden-St. Stephens JV game last year? Arguably… one of the craziest games I’ve ever seen. Just saying!

Let’s go! St. Stephens.

I remember Tales from the Crypt, it was pretty good. I was young back then, in my 50's I think. The Ghoul on the screen, can't recall her name, but she sounds like a cousin of mine, especially when she is mad at me.

About your youth draining away, not to worry, when you get in your 70's you won't remember it anyway.


Used to get the goosebumps when Rod Serling would do the Twilight Zone Intro: "You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

My Mother was usually at work when it came on, but once when she was off for Christmas I had her to listen to this intro, and ask her if she thought it was scary ?" She said, "It sounds like your Daddy heading to the Red Door. " That was an illegal bar in Cherryville.

I apologize for that I get really tired up in life. Especially with the metamorphosis I've made in my physical health and body. And outside interest like demolition Derbys and destruction racing 😂. Takes to much time building cars to turn around and destroy them 🤣
