The Big South will be highly competitive in the top half of the conference this season. It will be extremely difficult to run the table undefeated in the Big South this season. This era of the Big South has been dominated by the CC teams who have won the conference title every year but this could be the year that a champion emerges from Gaston County. I will revise my predictions again after scrimmages.
1. South Point- The raiders will be really good and this version of the redbone will be faster and more athletic on the perimeter.
2. Crest- This version of the Chargers will be led by a really good defense and a workhorse at running back. The perfect formula for playoff football.
3. Ashbrook- The Greenwave will be the most physically imposing and athletically talented team in the Big South. Many people around the program believe this is the best Brook team in years. Week 1 against Forest Hills will let us know if they are for real or some toy soldiers.
4. Kings Mountain- This version of the Mountaineers will be tall, athletic, and rangy on defense while being led by a strong o- line on offense. Returning two good kickers. Solid team in all three phases.
5. Hunter Huss- A very fast athletic group in the skill positions. QB extends plays and is hard to get on the ground. Defensive backfield is loaded. If the Huskies get some adequate linemen watch out. Huss will definitely pull at least one big upset against one of the top teams.
(6)North Gaston- There is excitement in the program but NG lost a lot of production from last season. NG have a couple of kids that will compete but just doesn’t have enough of those guys yet. A good coaching staff such as theirs will attract players in the upcoming years.
(7) Stuart Cramer- off-season transfer portal wasn’t kind to a struggling program with some pretty good young talent.
(8) Forestview- The Jaguars were a one man band that looks like that it may not have the one man back. It’s going to be a long year for the View.
