Many of the charter schools have asked to be reclassified to 2A/3A but their numbers wont allow for it. But I will say, for every good Charter you have, their are about 10 that are terrible and should only be allowed to play 1A teams. Reminder....WSP is not a Charter...it is part of the Forsyth County Public system as a Magnet school...Charter schools have a lottery that ALL have to adhere by or they will lose their charter...The lottery doesn't guarantee any kid they are getting in to the school...and most charter schools, even though they have open policy, only get local kids that are more interested in academics than sports. But it is like beating a dead horse. I understand why some of these small, proud communities hate charters and accuse cheating or "having advantages" ...in reality, I'm not sure what the best solution is for charters. I would like to see them classified as 2A or 3A but again, there are only a handful that could even compete at that level at all. Grouping charters into their own league will bring on a lawsuit which is what the NCHSAA is avoiding...Again, I do think the 1A state playoffs will be really fun and competitive this year. I don't see any/many front runners like before. WSP, LCS, Starmount, CSD, North Rowan, Cherokee, North Stanly, Bishop, North Stokes, Pine Lake, Hayesville all could win it this year or all could lose early...should be fun...Good luck but beating a dead hors about charters, etc. brings a negative vibe...keep it positive and let the boys/girls compete and have fun....
