Que Tucker has been named the new commissioner of the NCHSAA.

Also tabled but not approved is a men's basketball proposal to place teams by how each is ranked by Maxpreps within their respective seeds. This means a two seed would get positioned after the one seeds by taking the rankings produced by Maxpreps instead of won/loss or draws. This could be an improvement for football as well giving value to strength of schedule.

Also schools who have games on Time Warner will receive a small stipend. Not sure the amount but I think it was $500.

Are the games being televised by Time Warner and all viewable on line?
If so how to access?

If you are attending all three (or two) games at the same site will you be asked to leave and reenter after purchasing another ticket or does one ticket get you into all the games that day? Anyone heard? They've done it both ways in the past.

Spartans or Chargers?

Mountaineers or Bulldogs?

I ran a search and came up with this link:
http://www.nchsaa.org/news/2014-12-12/live-stream-nchsaa-football-championships-available

but the date says Dec 2014, but in the search it said 'posted Dec 2015'

Puts it all in perspective.http://m.shelbystar.com/article/20151209/NEWS/151209012

The Braves look great again this year. I was thinking the Lady Braves might slip a little after losing 2 key players but I actually think they are as good as last years team. The boys are the same. Their speed is awesome and they can go 12 deep and not lose a step. Even though both teams lost big time players I feel like they are playing team ball which is hard to beat

SHELBY LION IS AN IDIOT.... Bottom Line

Congratulations to these very deserving players and coach.

From all I can gather smoky is fully prepared to make "unbelievable" offer to bring both coaches across cowee mt....

I am in shock that James Kenan's fans showed such a lack of respect for Head Coach Ken Avent Jr and his staff. The fans chanted at times to change QB's and there was even a call on Facebook over the weekend for a coaching change. Suddenly four 4th round appearances in a row and a 2013 State Championship aren't good enough for a head coach that has won half of the school's total State Titles. Total lack of respect for a good coach. I hope Coach Avent has thicker skin than this poster does. Because I'd hate to see the Tigers in the state they were in before Coach Mott...

What a game! Braves are the real deal. Not much height, but hustle, hustle, hustle!!! And score, score, score!!! Reynolds played one heckuva game. They can shoot the lights out of it from beyond the 3 pt. line!

Braves are relentless. They can run 15 players in and out and the quality of play is about the same! On to Andrews tomorrow night.

Go Braves!!!

This week

Heard a certain coach may be leaving for a job in Buncombe County when it opens. any info ? or is it all just talk?

Lady Braves had 6 point lead in last minute of regulation and ended up losing in 2OT! Didn't shoot well, but stayed in the game never the less! Very young team. Will only get better each game.

Good game girls.
Go Lady Braves!!

I think we have played the 1aa and 1a western champ on our schedule .. Lol
