Ok, I see 2 teams dropped out. I am about ready to drop !
We’re playing Hendersonville high tonight. They play like we use to. It’s a tough one to watch on many levels.
You do know that 2 if not more players on Lake Norman's team were recruited to play for them via their travel ball team, right? Ask Pine Lake coach how good they would be if those kids were still playing for him.
Teams can recruit but only through legal channels, unless they are private or open enrollment and they can recruit from anywhere in the county if open enrollment and no limit on private even though they claim differently. A private Girl's team won 9 straight state championships and so many complaints we logged on here and they fell off.
Pine Lake is a private school and recruits all the time. My guess is, that if what you say is true, they only recruited players whom already live in the Lake Norman school district. To be sure I will ask my daughter who teaches at Lake Norman.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Pine Lake, like all charters, is a public school and runs on a lottery which honestly makes it very difficult or impossible to "recruit." I'm not a fan of PL, just stating what I know to be true. Both of those kids have been at PL for quite some time, so not sure where they live but they have been at PL since their younger years.
Interesting as 95% of the players from those teams were from their own feeder schools which there are 6.
Made it to 12/30, what 4 or 5 weeks in to basketball season before Bishop and Forsyth county open enrollment gets brought up.
One question, how do schools legally recruit?

Well you did not burst my bubble because charter schools may be chartered by the state by they do not play by the same rules and every body in the world knows that. I also know of several of Lake Norman Football players constant being recruited by Pine Lake Prep with promises of more playing time or at different positions.
When Mt Airy lost to Pine Lake in the playoffs a couple of years ago I believe half their team were players from Chambers or Hough. They were great players but sitting behind even better players so they did what I would have done and went to where I had a chance to play..
It is kind of hard to live by the sword of recruitment and then plead victim when their home town (district) school gets them back. Here in Mount Airy, the son of a friend of mine went to Millennium Charter school and was very happy until he grew to 6'2", developed a jump shot and wanted to play for a "real" (this is not to say any other charter school is not good/great but in this case...) team with real competition. He and they went to the third round of the playoffs and got beat by LINCOLN CHARTER. I am sure they do not recruit. Sure of it.
Probably in T minus 2 hours. ‘Legally’…when you’re going from middle school to HS you don’t see a ton of that if at all. BJ Mack was highly touted and went to Charlotte Catholic then bounced because of recruitment but not until he was already in HS.
About 4-5 years ago 2 kids from Page ended up at Piedmont Classical but heard before end of season they were leaving not due to recruiting but just school preference and coaching.
Kids left Southeast Guilford (a few years ago) due to what they perceived as not good coaching/system and other disgruntled coaches. So kids leaving takes many forms and unfortunately many think because kids are being recruited. Don’t get me wrong some are outwardly recruited with promises. Legally, “hey would love to see you here as we have great academics. Come talk to our administrator that handles that”.
ALL of those kids that beat Mt Airy the 3 years grew up at LCS, played middle school at LCS, and about half played JV. That is why LCS was/is always good, but I don't get caught up in those comments as people have opinions and are entitled to think what they want.
I don't doubt PL and other charters and traditional schools always try to convince a kid to attend for various reasons. That will never die out.
If they gave Richmond Sr. a 2-point game, they must be pretty good. Richmond Sr. pretty much steamrolled a good field at Cherokee's Christmas tournament.
My question would be why would a 4A team in the east, ranked #2 in the state, drive 5-6 hours to play in a tournament that honestly only had 1 team that could play with them (LCS)? And LCS played really, really poor vs Richmond and gave them no game after halftime. If they are really that good, go test your abilities with other 4A teams from Fayetteville, G'boro, or Charlotte. Didn't make much sense to me. They are young and good though.
Because taking kids to Cherokee is a good experience for them? Because they thought Moravian Prep would be there? Because they thought the other teams there like Lincoln Charter and Bishop McGuinness would give them a better game than they did? Because it was a good fit for their women's team? If you look at their schedule, they played at Northern Guilford, they played Forsyth Country Day on a neutral court, they played several Fayetteville schools non-conference, so I don't think they're just trying to fill up with cupcakes.
Anyway, the point is, Uwharrie Charter--like them or not--has to be considered a contender in 1A if they gave that team a 2-point game.
Irony? What is ironic about this statement? I'm assuming you are talking about LCS but look at their schedule? Their non-conference schedule is as good as any team in the state. Plus, their older coach and the coach for Cherokee have a good relationship so this tournament was scheduled long before he left. My point, regardless of the girls, why drive 5 hours to maybe play LCS or even Moravian REGIONAL team when you could get all the smoke you wanted in local tournaments with Laney, etc. Or, if I'm really looking for competition like you say, the Moravian NATIONAL team would travel to Richmond any time. Just reach out! Again, other than LCS, that field was weak, very weak, especially for a 4A team. Just saying.
Robbinsville boys with 7 players upset Swain by one.
D. Trammel Junior for Robbinsville girls got her 1,000 point vs Swain.
Uwharrie Charter drove to Robbinsville for a wrestling tournament last week.
Robbinsville won big over 2nd place UC.
Maybe they will stop talking junk now.

......and Trinity knocks off Uwharrie tonight in overtime. I may or may not have seen that coming.
Providence Grove is definitely in the driver's seat now.
Great game last night between the #3 team in 1a and the #5 team in 2a in the west. Mount Airy would prevail in a very exciting game between cross county rivals. Had players go down from both teams. Hope all are ok.
Mitchell boys playing tight tonight in the tournament. Must be the rivalry thing our girls done same thing.
Hayesville goes to Swain for third time tomorrow for SMC final, fourth time overall.
Yeah your boys played great! Smoker is a handful. On another note if they’d called games like that when we played it’d been a blood bath lol. I think Herritage beats draughn
Good luck to both your teams in the playoffs......unless yall playing us lol.
Swain becoming like a 2d home after playing Christmas and conference tourney there. Good luck tonight.
Hayesville finishes 6-0 at Swain's home court.
Hayesville is a well oiled machine. Constant movement, great passing, attack basket, unselfish play with everyone involved and a great point guard and big man who can play anywhere on court !! Oh yeah did I mention their great defense !!
This team is fun to watch !! No I’ve not been hacked !! Did I just brag on Hayesville
Lol Give credit where credit is due
