Chase schedule doesn't even look tough.You can say the same about Monroe's opponents also. Their schedule looked tough but it hasn't turned out that way so far.
If there’s a quarterback in 2A better than Shelby’s Daylin Lee, I want to see him. He led the state in passing last season, and he’s in the running again this season.East Surry probably got best quarterback in 2a
Give Boaz Shelby's receivers and speed..he would look like Tom Brady. Shelby= better team, receivers, and athletes..
Boaz= better QB.
Let the dehate continue.
His brother was by far the best in 2019 with that ES championship team that steamrolled Tarboro and blasted Reidsville..
Yes that game was back and forth. Best game I've ever attended. Reidsville had a great team that year.55-49....ES/Reidsville game in 2019 one of the most exciting and thrilling regular season games I've ever seen.............
East Surry probably got best quarterback in 2a
What is your definition of good quarterbackPut the bottle down. That kid is not a good QB let alone best in 2a......... When you keep ring chasing makes people wonder what in the world is going on....
One that gets offered by Florida.What is your definition of good quarterback

Idk how did it?How did that work for Will Grier?
Pretty well. He's in the NFL. Even though he's a 3rd string QB, he's still in the NFL. That's more than most people can say.How did that work for Will Grier?
Better not sleep on Chase. Underrated by many.I think you have to consider Chase, They are 4-0, haven’t been really tested yet, they are big upfront, an unbelievable running back & 2 dual threat quarterbacks. 1st test will be Hendersonville in 2 weeks.

Until Shelby lose to a 2a school they are still best team in 2a.What
you're bias
Everybody on here is biased. If not we would just voter for the championship and not have a playoff.as hell!
I believe that, in 1A and 2A, seeding is very important. Four hour one way trips can definitely affect how a team plays. Home field advantage can be huge in high school.If some 2A teams beats one of the teams that beat Shelby, would that place them higher? Speculating is fine. Who beat who, who plays a more difficult schedule, will all be out the window come November. You could take the eventual winner in December and given them the lowest seed in November and they likely would still be "the last man standing".
Has to be Monroe
I wonder what the stats are on that? Throughout the playoffs the higher seeded team has the home field advantage, as would be expected. If you look at the regular season games with the higher polling team (which is just a opinion) playing an away game do they win more often, showing home field not much advantage How much of and advantage 2 pts. 3 pts? With teams that are experienced and confident I don't think it make a heck of a lot of difference if they are playing at home or on some other teams home practice field. They rise to the occasion.I believe that, in 1A and 2A, seeding is very important. Four hour one way trips can definitely affect how a team plays. Home field advantage can be huge in high school.
I believe for regular season games...Simmons Ratings adds 2 points to the home team just for being at home.I wonder what the stats are on that?

Will St Pauls make the same noise as last season?I saw something like this over in the 1A board and thought I would start the conversation on the 2A board. I’m not looking who’s going to be the best at the end but who is playing their best football now.
The playoffs is when it matters. That requires the long bus rides, which are determined by seeding. As long as they include your opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage, it’s not a level playing field. It’s hard enough to schedule without having to predict who your opponents will schedule. Especially when your conference schedule is predetermined.I wonder what the stats are on that? Throughout the playoffs the higher seeded team has the home field advantage, as would be expected.

True...but RPI seeding nailed the 2A West on the head last year...a few wrong seeds?yes, but it pretty much was spot on.The playoffs is when it matters.

I do believe that often the best team wins the championship. But the excessive travel sometimes affects the results. Just like in NCAA basketball, the best team doesn’t always win the championship. It’s sometimes about matchups and travel as well.
