we are still alittle ways off but was wondering if anybody has posted playoff projections for the 1a west.
McGuinness girls beat Mt. Airy by double digits the 1st game so Mt. Airy will have to beat McGuinness at Mt. Airy to be the #2 seed from the NWC.

As usual, the rest of the West had better hope for a scenario like last year where most of the Northwest teams get tossed in the same side of the bracket. If they're spread out (as with 2 years ago), the state playoffs might just become another league tournament.
2 years ago you had the Midwest pod and west pod. I think we can both agree that Midwest pod was brutal but I think we can see where from last year the West has some very good teams in general. Should be another great year. How do you like the new change with the first 4 rounds now at the higher seeded HS instead of going to Winston for round 4?

Great job . Isn't the split conf 1a teams have to finish first or second to get a seed. Just a question that would change some .. Can u do a boys prediction ?
Curious about this Gray Stone Day bunch. They've been rollin' for the last month.
Also.....despite their record, I'm not counting the Bishop girls out of anything. That's a hard-nosed bunch on the defensive end.
Bishop's overall record is really deceiving because of the gruesome schedule they played out of the league. The only 1A teams to beat them have been Atkins and Prep thus far. This is a talented bunch that's pretty close to full strength for the first time and playing better. They're certainly not what they were obviously, but they're going to be a major issue at 1A for everyone outside of Prep.
I would agree with that. I believe they have been without Neiters (sp?) and just got her back here recently. I don't think you can look at their record and judge them. I watched Community School of Davidson get beat by South Stanly. That's a 15-5 team in CSD. We have had a lot of schedule padding this year and that will show in the playoffs.
Here are my Top Ten Girls Teams with the potential to win the State Championship:
1. Winston Salem Prep - WEST
2. Hiwassee Dam - WEST
3. Bishop McGuinness - WEST (They shouldn't be overlooked!)
4. Cherokee - WEST
5. Mt. Airy - WEST
6. Winston Salem Atkins - WEST
7. Robbinsville - WEST
8. Roxboro Community - EAST
9. Rosewood - EAST
10. Plymouth - EAST
I believe that the West is strong enough to have a sleeper or two advance to the 3rd round.
The East brackets will have fewer potential upsets.
Finally, I believe that the West will win the State Championship by at least 25 points.
What are your thoughts?

Bareman, I've seen 3 of the 4 in NW1A, but not BM. Do you think they have a chance to make a deep run as the other 3 do?with the way the seeding is now done, it all goes thru Hiwassee Dam with the top record...but it will take a very good team to take out WSPA....Atkins isn't far behind...this is no disrespect to any teams but almost every night in the NW 1A is a playoff game...especially with those top 4 teams
It just hit me.........I forgot all about Elkin. Seeing that they've beaten North Wilkes twice (and also Wilkes Central), I'd probably have them around 4/5 ish.

Hey Chute would elkin be apart of the 1 seeds?
Elkin will be a number # 1 seed with a record of 21-2. The will not be able to drop one of their losses because they are Both Conference. Avery is in 5th in the Mountain Valley with a 13-11 record . I do believe they will be the number # 8 seed overallHey Chute would elkin be apart of the 1 seeds?

Bulldog, not sure about Highlands. Their conference record on MaxPreps is not up to date.
Also, I notice that all the Smoky Mountain schools are grouped together. I take it they did away with the "Big" and "Little" divisions?
Great Job but I think that East Wilkes may be a number # 2 seed if not they will make it as a wild card, their 22 game record will be 14-8 also I think East Surry will make it as a wild card a 22 game record with a 10-12 recordalso if anyone has any changes let me know and I will update the list. I don't know how the Cherokee and HD conferences are working this season. If someone could post and update on conference standings that would be great along with records.
