I don't think so Champ. Maybe the "loaded west" prays that Scotland goes East.
I agree...they better hope yall go East...LOL

JMACDE99..... I do read fine. I know NCHSAA do seeding on each side of the bracket. I seriously doubt they will seed 1-32 because of West/East side thing. It is not feasible if number one seed " Plymouth" play number 32 seed "Hayesville" in first round. (7 hrs plus drive)
Now in 4A scenario, that would put nbr one Scotland against McDowell which would be seeded as 32. which would be 3 and half hours drive in a car at best. I beleive that 1-16 would be fine and fair enough since it split in two (West and East)
they play basketball there what in the hell do they know about football anyway. lol. There has to be a better way than what we have now.Maybe we shouldn't complain, I was visiting in Indianapolis last week and the Indiana state playoffs
started last Friday night. I went to a game where the #1 ranked undefeated 6a team played on the road at a 6-3 team with a conference loss in the first round of the playoffs. The winner of that game
was set to play the winner of 2 teams with a 500 record. (4-5)(5-4)

All is well John! Will make a point to see you during the playoffs.Coach I hope all is well. Dad and I were talking about the old days just a few weeks ago. I tell my son stories about working for you in the summer. He looks at me in amazing like, "you did what" and I tell him I enjoyed every minute of it and he rolls his eyes. Lol!
Hello folks! New poster to the boards, long time reader. Would someone be kind enough to educate me as to why the SCOTS would go west this year, when we have been in the east for so many years past?
If it's that simple, why haven't we been playing in the west bracket all along?Simple.....Longitude and Latitude.

!!! Ahhhh gotcha. Thanks for the breakdown.It will depend on which teams are in the playoffs. For example, lets say the middle of the state is 75 degrees lat. or long. (cant remember which one...but I want to say long.) So 32 teams make the playoffs. So let's say there is 12 teams from the western part of the state to make the playoffs, but 20 teams from the eastern part of the state to make the playoffs. Well you cant have 20 teams or 12 teams to play each other because it is 16 seeds each in the west and the east. So the 4 most eastern teams are going to have to move to the western side because of ***drum roll please**** latitude and longitude. If you reverse the number then you would have the opposite (most western teams have to go east) So that's why teams in the middle of the state, Richmond, Scotland, Pinecrest, Page, and etc. just to name a few have this problem.
BTW, the lat. and long. figures are not definite. I just wanted to give you an example.
The simplest answer is that Charlotte is having a power year in football in general. They will qualify more teams this season than in any other year I can remember in the last 15 years. The result is that the 4AA West bracket will be flooded with Charlotte teams, which is pushing a bunch of traditionally 4AA West teams over to the East bracket (including Page, Richmond and NW Guilford).Hello folks!
