Yeah I don't think Prep lost much. I think at this point BM and WSP is assumed lol. Albemarle lost a lot as well but they play atough schedule so that's a wait and see.
Cherokee I would assume with what they return will still be a good team
HD I think lost it's 5 starters right?
CSD I believe lost their best player so I don't see them being where they were unless they gained some players.
West Mont lost a lot but still return a very very good player.
Hayesville?
Mount Airy I believe were young last year after losing 5 seniors they year before so I would expect them to be a dangerous team come playoff time.
Cherokee had 2 D2 signees? I know the PG was very good who else?
Hayesville I think will be down. The loss of their center will hurt did they lose the shooter as well?
Prep would surprise me if they lost a game this season. They will be strong plus you know they probably had 1 or 2 new girls come in.
From Cherokee, the PG is at Lenoir-Rhyne, and one of the starting wings is at Converse.
Hayesville's PF is at Mercer, and the shooter is at Liberty.
Back in the seventies and eighties our boys were tough. I know we won about 4 SMC tournaments in the late 70's into the 80's. If you remember Cissy Bristol that played, her team went 32 & 0 and won the 1 A title. Coach Solesbee had some good years and will probably hang it up after this group of ladies graduate next yearI really hope to see Andrews do well. Basketball is the sport where a small school like Andrews has the best shot of being competitive with bigger schools, and I remember them having some very good boys teams through the years.
Northwest Conference will go 1. WSP 2. Atkins 3. Mt. Airy 4/5. Bishop McGuinness/East Surry. Girl you mentioned from New Garden Friends for McGuiness is nice kid but not likely good enough to start for for any of the top 3 NWC teams or maybe even McGuinness. McGuinness will be small and no true point guard.
I did not use the "r" word bulldog. Yes i know that having a strong program will attract talent. My problem is that any school that has "no boundaries" should not be playing against a school who does. I've watched this in several sports over the last 9-10 years. How do small towns compete? I thought that was the idea of 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a. If a school that has kids from a 8 mile radius has to play a school with kids from all over a metro area, why have classifications?
Heard GS added a 6'4 girl to the lineup. I haven't seen them yet but if in fact they did they will be the tallest team in the state lol. I think that would give them 3 or 4 girls over 6'.
