    So long 1A, it's time to move on.

    Heath Shuler's brother. Also played at TN.

    Shrewd move for what? Trying to win imaginary internet points? I've seen the thread evolve from the beginning. After going back and reading it all in one go this morning, it struck me how the vast majority of the information presented is ad hominem attacks. I'm surprised you didn't call out my...

    Calling somebody a beta male because they're not gonna internet argue with you as much as you internet argue with them is a pretty impressive lack of self-awareness. If this is the best our discussion of very relevant political issues can get, then it's no wonder we've elected clowns to lead...

    Franklin coach?

    I'm not an insider, but I do understand that the whole search process was a bit convoluted. So when Chappell turned it down, that was probably the best choice for him and us. I don't know if the way this search was conducted is a part of the peculiar set of circumstances you bring up, but I do...

    Franklin coach?

    Was your rumor Coach Brooks returning yet again? Because that was what happened. An impassioned plea from an all-conference football player at last night's BoE meeting may or may not have sealed the deal, but we certainly heard that the players wanted him back.

    My Breakdown of what 8 Classes Could be if they'd quit playing around

    Split conferences are a must, unless you are ok with 3 hour drive times or two team conferences. I agree that the big question is how many classes they will allow in a conference. First Flight over on the coast will possibly be the only 4A school in it's conference. That will probably have to be...

    NIL Approved For NC Private School Athletes

    My son's birthday is a week after the cutoff date for entering school. Based on how well he was reading and doing math in Pre-K, they told us he could absolutely start school a year early and handle it academically. We declined, thinking that we could put him in a bad position maturity wise and...

    My Breakdown of what 8 Classes Could be if they'd quit playing around

    "Small 32" seems like it would work best if the 11 man football teams can opt up into 2A, or otherwise include them in 2A conferences for football. The big problem with small 32 is they will be much more spread out than the Big 32, so we're putting the greatest travel burden on the smallest schools.

    NIL Approved For NC Private School Athletes

    I doubt it will be many athletes, but it will probably be some of the best athletes.

    Franklin job

    They're at the middle school. Soccer has been at the middle school, but they've played some playoff games at the high school. The crown at The Pit makes the field a tricky one for commie ball though. Wrestling may end up all being at the middle school too, they've just built a big ol annex over...

    Franklin job

    We were just awarded the grant last week. This is the same type of funds that Cherokee County sent back. It is conceivable that we could start this summer if we choose to spend money out of the fund balance on Phase I, which is destructing the football field and moving a significant amount of...

    Open jobs?

    I don't know which direction Franklin is going to go, but my understanding is that there should be some kind of decision at this month's meeting. I'm disappointed we don't have the position filled right now. I hope we haven't been hurt by the way this has been handled.

    Peak off-season content right here.

    My Breakdown of what 8 Classes Could be if they'd quit playing around

    Nice work. I know that takes a lot of effort, but you've done really well. The Currituck/First Flight problem is a tough one, I don't see another way to solve it other than what you've done. I just wonder how they determine playoffs with that scenario.

    Playoff format change?

    This whole deal with free lunches factoring into classification was hot garbage. I understand shooting for equity, but this was not a successful attempt at it.

    8 classes breakdown

    So I used the same numbers as Don and a similar methodology, and came up with pretty similar results. To get at BK's concerns, I counted 19 football playing schools in Don's 1A (which actually has 51 schools). I split the remainders a little differently and had a 55 team 1A with 21 football...

    Brooks steps down at Franklin

    My limited experiences in Lawndale have left me wondering what about Franklin could possibly be more backwoods than that, but most of the people were friendly.

    Brooks steps down at Franklin

    Coach Josh definitely has stepped down. Nothing official on next steps, other than I believe they will look internally first. Completely no basis for this comment, but Franklin pursuing Chappell would be like the Miami Dolphins pursuing Bill Belichick. Not sure anybody really wants that...

    Y'all keep the UHauls, don't think we need them here in Franklin.
