I don't think they need to change their schedule. I think except for about three or four teams 1A is pretty bad. No sense in getting kids hurt before the playoffs. Just beat everybody as bad as you can within reason then get to the playoffs.
With Elkin a conference game, this schedule keeps all 5 county school gate money in the county which is 16 games a year on rotating bases going to the Mount Airy and some of the other county schools on top of the other out-of-county home games. Minus Elkin, I can't remember Mount Airy, North Surry, East Surry & Surry Central not playing each other other than East Surry's 1st year in 2A and MA played Draughn 2021. Someone's memory is probably better than mine these days.
All 4 Surry County schools are on this schedule, East Surry, Mount Airy, North Surry & Surry Central. Mount Airy has 2 home games & 2 away games which should be good gate games for the schools.
Not hard to do with how utterly terrible they've become since 2010. Hard to believe how bad that program has fallen. Even though they're enrollment looks like it's getting up close to 500. What a terribly run athletic program which all starts with football. They have more sports than some 4 a schools
Probably Starmount vs Mount Airy in the conference & Mount Airy vs East Surry non-conference & Robbinsville vs Mount Airy in the play-offs...
I hope they were better than last year. I thought they were the 6th best team mount airy played.

This would be nice to see breakdown by years or how many years the schools have been playing football.
21 more Friday nights until we see him play. The Roster below has the juniors who will be seniors this year and there are several names we heard called out on the speakers last year. Check out the juniors & sophomores that move up this year. It's going to be a good year for Bear 🏈 .Mount Airy's Class of 2024 Derick Dandy #32 Has announced that he will become a Va. Tech HOKIE. Looks like he may keep his #32.

Didn't Ashe county give Mt airy a game for 3 quarters last year or was that a fluke?
They had one really good Qtr. But they did put more points on Mount Airy than any 2022 team, including Tarboro.

I think they had a hell of a running back didn't they? That was pretty much it. Once Mount airy decided to stop him it was pretty much over.
That doesn't like it took them three quarters It was like it took them the third quarter since they were winning what 21 to seven at halftime.? Looks like it was a new wrinkle. Pretty well coached team in Ashe county so they obviously came out and did something they hadn't seen.
MA was missing Danby and Ashe QB was hitting his receivers big time. This game did MA wonders it showed them that they couldnt just show up that they had to keep their focus.
