2A Rankings Week 7
- Thread starter Deana_King
- Start date
I woke this morning about 5:30. It would be extremely difficult to be hypocritical in ones sleep. You are correct about one thing though, you don’t have to tell me a dad-gum thing, but I don’t think my IQ has much of anything to do with what you don’t know. Again I say, He gets a little confused sometimes.
no the seedings in the past have included more factors than just.geographics
Don’t argue with him daletec! You’ll get caught up in a three page discussion that will not yield any logical answers.
Now Kinston can be kicked out and put another West team in
Yes make it 3 out of 25Now Kinston can be kicked out and put another West team in
Im not gonna lie that was funny 😂😂. All this bickering is giving me a headache. None of it even matters because Northeastern is the best 2a/2aa team in the state and its not even close. Were even spotting all our opponents 25 yards on each kickoff. All our opponents get the ball at midfield.🤣 If you dont believe me just look at any of our past games on NFHS Network. Now, come and get some of this heat ❗❗ We don't even need that 5* running back😎. It's ok Coach Moore, I've already forgave you.Now Kinston can be kicked out and put another West team in
No, you mention location, then claim demographic advantage, I don't see what the demographics of any team has to do with advantage. Demographic diversity is a good thing, but not an advantage. At least be honest with yourself. I didn't mention seedings, and I don't believe the racial/cultural/income makeup of any team has to do with seeding.
It's useless daletec, all that reputation has gone to his head. At first I thought he was yanking some chains but it turns out he really is that dense. The man has zero self awareness, he can't see the forest because of all those trees in the way!
They went from not making the playoffs to the best team in the state lol lavar ball jr
I get that the playoffs are divided between "east" and "west", but some teams (particularly in 1a) regularly ping-pong from one bracket to the other in the playoffs based on who on the map just to their left or right does or doesn't get in each year.
Having lived in N.C. my entire life, based on geography, politics, economic base, history and culture, I think we have 3 fairly distinct regions:
Western-which to me means mountains and curvy roads. I'd define this region as west of Winston-Salem
Central/Piedmont- starts at Winston and runs down to Charlotte, and east thru Raleigh. Of course it has its rural areas, but most everyone lives within commuting distance of the Triad, Triangle and Charlotte metro (another defining "characteristic": for a weekend getaway, you can jump in the car and be in either the mountains or at the beach w/o too much of a drive).
Eastern- east of Raleigh to the coast. I'd include Fayetteville as the most-western edge of the region, and while it is sorta/kinda metro, its heavy military presence means makes it a natural to include along with their eastern kin at Seymour/Goldsboro and Lejeune/Jacksonville.
I'm too lazy to pull out a map and look up some of these schools and where they are, but I'm guessing a handful that are being termed as "western" on this thread are really more in the central/Piedmont region, regardless where they get slotted in the playoffs.

Yes, also living in NC my entire life, we were taught that in middle school...that NC has three regions, the mountains, the piedmont, and the coastal region. However, sports cannot be in three groups, it must be divided into even numbers at least. Maybe we work out 4 regions instead of just east and west and have regional Champs battle it out for who goes to state.
Wonder if we split the state north vs south? Straight down the line. Charlotte, Cleveland County Gaston County South (thats all we'll need) and winston salem, Greensboro, Raleigh and blah blah some forsyth team to the north.
That's very generous of you giving Reidsville 25 yds on each kickoff and the ball at midfield.
Means the Rams can play with a running clock in the first qtr and we can all get home earlier!!
Wow I’ve lived in NC my entire life as well. This is remarkable. We didn’t have Middle School (6th - 8th ) back in the dark ages we had High School ( 10th - 12th ) & Jr. High ( 7th - 9th). Back then we used leather helmets and pumpkins for footballs. Needless to say the kicking game did not go well back then. There were very few penalties called then either. Taunting wasn’t a problem, cause if you did that you coach would whoop your aerss. Things have really changed but me and my buddy Wiz remember the old days, hell we’ve been following high school football for over 60 years.
😂😂😂crying!
We used a crushed milk carton for the ball and an athletic sock stuffed with toilet paper for a horse collar. Played Pasture ball at Maiden elementary b4 school every day!
I made that horse collar look good!
Haha! I'm not that old but I played for Maiden before teams started passing in the West! Shoot, we ran a 6-1 defense my first two years!
You're gettin way off the subject; pardon my ignoring you so I dont have to read such hyperbole ; you're c littering the discussion!
Woke up!
there are lots of factors, you mention several; politics is one of them; ADE determines school size; number of schools conferences. Popumation. Exceptions playing up or down.As you mentioned vey few 1A schools in the west; its all more than a com pass point. No telling how they'll seed this year.
No I think he means he thinks NE is going to kickoff alot. Bring tour defense down and value # of possessions!
That aint gonna happen if you play NE or the Horses; wont be any running clock I can assure you!
theres only a funning clock the you play teams like BY; Carrboro, Cummings, Graham; Ragsdale, really preparing for the playoffs. Heck ya got away with it for a few years now so who knows, but dont even think about a run-in g clock down here.
Congratulations on the win last night , I think though Lincolnton aint what they use to be. Still good football though.
Daletec, I think I’ve figured out Wiz’s problem. I think his “Oldtimers” has started to kick in. One cantankerous old dude I’ll tell you that.
Does anybody know anything about that funding clock he’s talking about. I’m starting to feel bad for him.

Haha..thats how Wiz does his math! Explains how the East churns out a 37% winning percentage haha.
Ragsdale is 4a. I remember playing northwest Guilford and 2a teams said that about them, but at the end of the day Northwest was still better than most 2a teams. We are always playoffs ready
Never gives an inch! ....there a movie named that. Made in 1970....Henry Fonda, Paul Newman, Lee Remick....it’s a great movie. Y’all watch it....and you’ll understand that generation. Seriously... it’s a good ‘Un!
Yeah I was born in '88. But anyone who knows me claims I'm an old soul!! I'm Southern Rock and smashmouth football to the core. There ain't no sitting at the table if you ain't bringing nothing to it! ...just how I was raised!
Hey ain’t nothing wrong with being old...
Means you ain’t dead...
And can’t figure out what’s wrong with you younguns...
Now if you will excuse me I should go eat supper. It’s almost 4:30!!!

Proves my previous post further...just finished with supper!
One more thing for you millennials or Z gens or my children: It’s breakfast, dinner and supper. Not sure who started the whole “let’s call it lunch” thing...
I’m getting sleepy so this will probably be my last post...
Unless I have to get up and pee..
thats what they're teaching in school I hear; its the new Woke math.
