Do the schools offer the same sports curriculum? I look up Robbinsville soccer on Maxpreps and can't find a player list for soccer. I am just wondering if the availability of the sporting activities affects the amount of players of certain sports. If some students perhaps weren't able to play soccer so they chose football for example. Would that not be the reason for a higher number of players in a certain sport like football say in a Robbinsville case?
Possibly, but I do know that in some instances that FB's numbers have increased as some kids play as kickers only.. also you have mentioned the only school that doesn't field a soccer team, in essence an outlier.

Robbinsville is definitely not a soccer town! We’re backwards a$$ hillbillies….remember??

LOL, LOL, LOL. What is really funny is that when I look at the rosters of the SMC schools that are in the final four in the West every year, those tiny SMC schools have always had about the same number of football players on their rosters as Mount Airy and other Western schools. Robbinsville & Murphy have high 30s and Mount Airy low 40s. There is only maybe a five or six-player difference. So how does a school of 350 ADM have as many football players as a school of 5 to 600? In the 1960s and 70s when Mount Airy was really 1A playing in 3A along with some other schools stuck in 3A, SMC would have won far fewer championships. We had no 1A teams in our area to play. Every year Mount Airy has beaten a SMC team. They have been a 1A in ADMs by the NCHSAA rules. The NCHSAA makes the ADM rules and playoff rules so stop your crying on here and take a ride to Chapel Hill. I have never seen SMC fans crying as much as this year.
WOW, take a look at the rosters of these itty bitty SMC schools. These are all this year and all look to be the same ADMs from the looks of their rosters.

You just proved my point! Thank you! And once again, you flex your big brother opinion on mt arrogance back in the 3a days! Get a grip! I ain’t whining, either , I’m giving you the facts. We’d have 80 players with your numbers most years!

Thank you, I was starting to think I was all alone. I’m not sure if you’re interested but our game can be heard Friday night on 89.9 Fm WRVS. Im thinking you’re somewhere in the Wilmington area
Definitely interested in this game and a bunch of others. I am a true highschool sports fan - all sports.

Corvian?

By the way, it is the same EXACT team. We had 9 starters (multiple 2 way players) go down week 6. We didn’t get any of them back until the first round of the playoffs against Draughn (we got 2 of them back). I wish we could just recruit kids!! That’d be awesome. The lottery tends to feed us a bunch of smart kids… and we can’t get them to figure out how to strap their shoulder pads. 😂😂
Ok sir. I think, for the most part, your posts have been just fine. Simply supportive of your teenagers without going overboard but…
9 starters? In one week? And they all made it back for playoffs? That’s almost miraculous territory.
Also most people have a charter near their schools. While we know a lottery does exist for charters, we also have never heard of an athlete being turned away EVER.
It is also my understanding that the lottery is only necessary when a certain grade level is at or near maximum students.
So please don’t play the “don’t know how to strap on their pads” card.

Your argument of the teams having approximately the same numbers is an indictment of your school and praise for the schools of the SMC. Let me explain. A school system that has larger numbers of students should in essence have a larger number of players. But this isn't always the case, why? For some reason the SMC schools are fostering a program that is conducive to students wanting to be part of a program that demands sacrifice and requires discipline. What is it about these schools that enables them to prepare and inspire young men who are willing to meet these standards. Whatever it is, they are successful at a much higher rate than the schools of which you support. Would you not agree that the biggest reward for most HS football players is the character that they mold. Thanks for providing evidence for all to see.

Corvian?

While I agree with the bottom of your post just wanted to point out a couple of things.
First Corvian already beat Mitchell 42-6 in the SECOND round, couple of weeks back.
Second they beat Eastern Randolph 27-14 in the THIRD round last Friday
Hope that’s informative.

Probably going to have to disagree with James Kenan being Northeasterns toughest opponent.

Rose started 0-5, with 4 of the losses being to teams with a combined 3 losses in the regular season. Three of those teams are
still playing.

JK is good but not on Rose’s level.

JK vs NE

I'd pass through too if it wasn't for this Hough/Grimsley or Dudley/W. Charlotte games

This one and Shelby struggling against Monroe has me curious
I don’t blame you, I don’t know to much about other classification’s outside of 2a but I know that Monroe/Shelby game is gonna be good. Those are the second and third best teams in all of 2a 😁. That should be 🔥🔥, I like Monroe

Exactly….except. They’ll no longer be playing schools half their size! Big difference! I said it before and I’ll say it again, give robbinsville 650 kids or Murphy and you can flip those wins…bank on it! And as far as itty bitty titles, is it a surprise that mt arrogant, er, and tarboro are consistently in the final 4???? There’s strength in numbers! And it’s kinda laughable with all that Mt arrogant history that they can’t field no more than they do with twice the number! The sheer possibility of having one ore two more Cuttler’s, 7/8 more big lineman, and reserves out the ass alone is the difference we’re talking!
