Starting in the 2025-2026 season it will be increased into 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A and 8A, any thoughts on this?
Edit I didn't see the other thread already, my bad

Why do you honestly just go and lock certain threads when mount airy posters post something and don’t do the same when the mountain boys post. You said something about a peeing contest and not gonna allow it…. Well if that is the case do your job with them as well. I don’t care if you hate mount airy or not if you the moderator you have to govern the same for everyone. I am guilty as anyone at pulling other teams chains to get good banter between teams but you jump in there and try to be all powerful. Not right at all. It was great meeting Deana King this week and if you were true to everyone you would come introduce yourself as well.

Hearing 2A will be at NC state either 3 or 7pm on Saturday.

@daagoob and @Shelby Lion for holding down the fort for me while I've been kind of on part time furlough from my usual "keeping things honest" around here.

Honorable mention to some of the Maiden crew and @FACT24

that is all.

Deana King - gatarams@yahoo.com

So now if everyone doesn't agree with administration and BOE the thread gets blocked even if talking about high school coaching opening. Sounds like Mr Moderator has family in Haywood county. What a joke ... lock this

Who do you have? Whirlies or Warriors? And why?!

Way to early Top 25 teams based on returning players and returning points from the 2022-2023 season. Anyone know of other teams that need to be on this list? Any transfers + or - that will affect these rankings. Let me know.

I'm sure this gets locked down. But what's wrong with a heated conversation between folks passionate about high school football I thought that's what this board was.

So this morning we get word coach Chappell steps down at Pisgah . And word out of macon county is coach Brooks has turned his resignation in as football coach. Two of the longest tenured most successful coaches in WNC both done on same day.

How will this conference shake out this year with North Surry losing that huge senior class? Is there a favorite or is it wide open?
