Hope you enjoy the interview with Coach Todd Wilert And Nique Martin

Here goes:

1. Hayesville
2. Cherokee
3. Robbinsville
4. Rosman
5. Swain county
6. Andrews
7. Murphy

Not real sure about 5-7. They could end up in any order!

Best of luck to both. Schools

Who are the top players in 1A Girls?

Basketball season is on the horizon. Who are the teams to watch that could make a run come playoff time?

Should be another great game!

Good luck to both teams. CC what kind of team do you have?

If you are following the threads. Somehow Crest has become KM, and South Point has become Concord.

If KM wins, then Crest has beaten South Point (again). I sort of see this.

And if Concord wins, then somehow SP has defeated Crest. I guess based on last year's playoff result???

It is so obvious.

Morehead beats western alamance in overtime
I want to say havelock will win this game convincely but the way their offense been playing I do what to predict anymore but ima say havelock wins 42-14

1st play 60 yard TD to Wright. Shelby 7-0

You gotta think, what if Dudley wasn't DQ'd? Would Catholic have gone to Winston-Salem?

Am I doing it right, Footsoldier?

You guys remember him? The egotistical maniac that had absolutely no problem putting people in check around here. I bet that he is back before the weekend is over.

The subject of artificial turfs was just broached in another topic. I certainly understand the pros and cons of it. Pros are safety from muddy fields, a pristine field all year, less maintenance, etc. Cons are costs that many counties can't afford, losing the feel of "real, dirty football, and not being able to dress the field up (lines) for different sports. It seems that artificial turfs are plentiful in the Charlotte area and the mountains area. I am surprised that there aren't many, if any in the Greensboro, Raleigh, and Fayetteville areas, that I know of anyway. My question to you is are there any artificial turfs at schools that AREN'T considered to be Charlotte and mountain area schools? This is mainly for my education, because I don't know of any, but would love to learn if there are.

Fairmont High School is currently looking for an Offensive Line Coach, Running Backs Coach, and Secondary Coach. There are openings in EC and English (10-12) immediately, and a possible position may be coming open in Health and Physical Education (K-12). If you are interested, please contact Head Football Coach Mark Heil or Principal Kent Prater at 910-628-6727.

Just saw MaxPreps' ranking of their top five girls teams in NC. My jaw dropped when I read that they had Andrews at #5. Are they really supposed to be THIS awesome???

Here are the pre-season boys basketball polls from NCPreps.com. Note: No pre-season girls basketball poll due to lack of info sent in.


1A

1. Winston Salem Prep 20-8 - returns a lot of talent off state runner-up team

2. Voyager Academy 29-3 - features one of the top 2016 players in NC in Virginia commit Jay Huff

3. Lincoln Charter 24-7 - has a lot of returning talent and depth to make a run at a title

4. East Caretet 28-2 - loss some fire power to graduation but the defending state champs still will be in the hunt

5. Riverside Martin 19-6 - features 3 returning starters & 9 players with varsity game experience and good size

6. Hayesville 21-6 - features Appalachian State commit Zach Cottrell and company

7. North Stokes 11-14 - returns 4 out of 5 starters and leading scorer

8. Bishop McGuiness 15-10 - coached by John Thompson the Villians are poised for a big year

9. Albemarle 26-1 - legendary coach Al Andrew retired, but Albemarle still has talent from undefeated JV team

10. Avery County 20-9 - return 5 seniors, 3 juniors, and a sophomore plus experience from 1A West Regional team

10. Queens Grant 16-9 - return 6'8 Columbia commit Patrick Tape and company


Notes: Some teams will start the season without football players and get stronger as the season goes. Don't be shocked if a team drops one ranking and then bounces back later on in the season. NCPreps.com will be doing individual articles on certain teams with more in depth coverage.

Win your rivalry game or still be playing football in late November and December. This isn't a discussion post. Just a simple "one or the other" answer.

I have watched this The Burlington School for 3 years now. They are the Defending 1A Private school State Champions and their defense man handled a much bigger Victory Christian and Word of God at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge, yet I can hardly find anything about their games. Had Word of God blown them out, I am sure there would have been much written about that. I will continue to follow them and hope they get the respect that they deserve.

North Davidson.....Proud of you guys (players, coaches, fans, etc). Hope everyone enjoyed this season (ups and downs) from beginning to end. Great season with great memories. Hate to see the seniors leave and think they represented the program very well. Never gave up and fought hard, can't ask for anything more.

TIME TO GET READY FOR NEXT YEAR!! Ok, take a week off and then START GETTING READY FOR NEXT YEAR!
