Hickory High is looking for 3 teams to join our 6 team jamboree on August 16th. JV and Varsity both. Please call or text Joe Glass (828) 244-5919 if interested.

So as of last Wednesday Monte Simmons is no longer head football coach at West. I hope they can find the right person to come in and lay the foundation and start to build a program. It will take time but they are talent at West and the right coach is out there. So what are your thoughts on the next coach.

West is now open so who the next man up

Huge addition for the Wolfpack who I think have a great chance to be in the 12 team CFB playoffs. The schedule is kinda weak after the Tennessee game in Charlotte. They will win at least 10 games next year. THEY ARE LOADED

From Mike London

East Rowan announced today a "move in a different direction for the football program" and has posted the head football coaching job. John Fitz has coached 35 years, the last 7 as East's head coach.

Every year at this time when basketball is cranking up and when the Holiday tournaments are going on my mind always goes back to my growing up days. When my sister played for South Iredell, my family would go watch her play. She was on the JV team at the time. We would watch the JVs and stay for the varsity games as well. On the girls varsity team they had triplets that were Jrs and an older sister that was a senior. To top it off they had a younger sister who played on JV that was a freshman. If my mind recalls right they pulled up the younger sister and let her play on the Varsity team. One night they showed all the sisters playing in a game. They showed it on the news. Saw lot good games with girls and boys team. South‘s varsity boys were really good and won conference that year. The starters were outstanding. With girls varsity they had a good line up of starters. I watched lot of wins with this team. I believe they won the conference as well. Good old days of basketball. Anyone have any basketball stories to tell would be good.

Our tournament concluded on December 28th. The Top 3 finishers in each bracket were as follows:
RED Division Boys: 1st-Apex Friendship, 2nd-Green Level, 3rd-Pinecrest
GREEN Division Boys: 1st-High Point Christian, 2nd-Seaforth, 3rd-Union Pines
WHITE Division Boys: 1st-Faith Christian, 2nd-Grace Christian, 3rd-Eastern Randolph
GREEN Division Girls: 1st-Pinecrest, 2nd-R.J. Reynolds, 3rd-Northern Guilford
WHITE Division Girls: 1st-Seaforth, 2nd-Union Pines, 3rd-Asheboro

The dates for our 25th tournament will be December 26-28, 2024. Contact David Cross at (336) 953-2344 if you want your team to play in our tournament. We drew from 10 different counties this year, so it is a great opportunity to play teams not on your schedule.

I just wanted to create a thread for the 1a west girls basketball. Noticing a lot of media etc downgrading the talent and depth of the 1a girls especially on the west side. Like last year I’m seeing a bunch of talent throughout the 1a west and can already see the gauntlet the playoffs will be. Some of the teams I have seen this far to highlight.

Bishop of course hope addy is ok all prayers to her. Returned a large part of their team. Really impressed without addy how they played and competed.

Mountain Heritage returned everybody I think from last years team. I believe they were injured a bit last year in the playoffs

Cherokee really talented players with one or two good freshmen that filled a gap for them. Not sure of names

Albemarle spencer baldwin Robinson brown as well as a group of strong role players

North Rowan goodlet twins and ellis are really good

Union Academy Sutton and Thompson with their height on that team will be tough. They didn’t have Thompson in the playoffs last year really tough guard.

Chatham Charter who could make it out of the East again

If you have seen any others that could make noise come playoffs and especially players please highlight them.

West Stanly has hired former Anson HC in Ralph Jackson

Any thoughts on their season I think they will be pretty good this year with Joshua Pittman in his second year here.

question for you Clinton folk in the know, will Amaris stay committed to Florida or will he flip to maybe Auburn. Florida is becoming a bigger dumpster fire than my Tar Heel program. I honestly find it hard to find 3 wins on next years schedule and Napier will be gone most likely.

Congrats to Brogan Hill for furthering his football career at the Naval Academy. Service academies are very difficult to get into. He will definitely be missed at East Davidson for many years to come. Just goes to show you that hard work does pay off folks.

Some of you may find this online article interesting:


SC has done a “3-student count” for charter school students outside of a school’s geographic region in an attempt to balance the “recruiting or not recruiting” issue which may put some charter schools in a higher classification in South Carolina.

The controversy at Gray Collegiate Academy (Columbia) area was such that 6 conference schools forfeited games with them.

Saw where Butch Sursavage died .Played for Andrews ,later played at Clemson.Along with his brother they put Andrews right in the thick of the SMC.
