What does TJ have???
I think TJ will be the favorite by wouldn't be surprised if Albermarle won.
If you do win you will have to travel to Andrews or Elkin. Andrews is probably 40 minutes shorter drive than Hayesville.
Then Rville/Murphy trip.
Brutal.
Of course both have tough games but it would be cool to see and Ablemarle and Elkin matchup in the 3rd round considering the history of each program in the mid 2000s. I may be wrong but I don't think they 2 have ever played.
Don’t think so but Elkin and Ablemarle have spent a few pleasant Saturdays playing 1a/1aa championship games together.Of course both have tough games but it would be cool to see and Ablemarle and Elkin matchup in the 3rd round considering the history of each program in the mid 2000s.

I’d kind of like to see Andrews-Albemarle to give Andrews the chance to host a third round game since I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before.
What if Andrews ended up in the western finals? I'd say its possible. That side of the bracket is a tossup imo.
If that happens, one of either Robbinsville or Murphy will be practicing basketball, so the griping on here about seeding will be next level.

Lol. You picked my brain. Yep I would like to see a 3rd round game in Andrews. But of course we have to focus on the game at hand. A win at Elkin with this young team could really help this team for next year with a good taste of 3 round footballI’d kind of like to see Andrews-Albemarle to give Andrews the chance to host a third round game since I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before.

I don’t believe we have. Back in the early 2000s Albemarle and Elkin were playing for ships. Albemarle did a 3 peat and I believe Elikin did the same.
Those were some good Elks teams. I'm glad to see Elkin getting closer to prominence. It helps 1a, especially with Mitchell hovering on the line every year. Although, when the realignment comes out, it might not matter anymore...Elkin won 4 in 5 years from 02-06. 04 they lost to Swain in the western finals. The played at least twice on the same day for their ships. I think Thomasville played the other 2 times Elkin went.

Elkin will have a good year next year then I think they fall off again. They're about to hit a couple groups that didn't even have enough to field a middle school team 2 years in a row. If the MVAC stays the same(which I hope it doesn't) after realignment East Wilkes will more than likely be the top 1A team in the conference for a couple seasons. It will be interesting to see. Especially considering teams in the 500s in enrollment couldn't bump up to 5A. Imagine Mitchell, East Wilkes, Starmount, Avery, etc playing 2A ball with teams like. Shelby who probably won't have enough kids to be 3A.
We already did that in the 90s. We won in basketball sectionals in men’s and 2 state championships in women’s. Not much luck in football. When your 2a it is a way tougher rd to the championship.
Not entirely, Pine Lake Prep and Lincoln Charter are likely to be 2A in 2021 even if they stick with four classes (joining Lake Norman Charter) and if they go to five classes there will be more charters moving up now and in the future.However if you're currently 1A and bump to 2A you get rid of having to play the advantage schools in basketball, soccer, and the country club sports.

I believe you are assuming they go through the Gorge to get to Hayesville. Anyone going to Hayesville from the east goes through Franklin and over the Mountain. I'm sure thats the way Albemarle went (If someone from Albemarle would like to chime in on this). I live in Hickory but travel to Peachtree when visiting my father and its about the same distance for me either direction I take.. it just depends if you want the river view or the mountain view.I think TJ will be the favorite by wouldn't be surprised if Albermarle won.
