When our Lady Wildcats defeated Lincoln Charters Ladies Tuesday night I asked a fan from there how many students they had in high school. He told me 600 students. More than double what Andrews has. I did watch their boys warm up and the start of Llincoln Charters game. Very athletic but I felt Cherokee and Hayesville boys could compete with themWas looking at Lincoln Charter's website (in case we have to play them). They only accept students from Lincoln Co., Catawba Co., Gaston Co., Mecklenburg Co., Iredell Co. and other surrounding counties.
Man, Tough Life!! Don't see how they can find 5 players that can play basketball from only a couple hundred thousand students! Starting to feel sorry for them now!!
We're sitting pretty here in Cherokee. We just comb through all 300 students and have come up with two pretty decent teams!
Please read my post again. I said I asked a fan of Lincoln Charter how many kids were in your High School. That's all I can go by. I'm sure it was a educated guess. I wasn't disrespecting your school.Funny how people talk about charter schools and really don't know nothing about them. Lincoln Charter only has 430 students in high school. Most of the students are from Lincoln County area. And ALL of the boys basketball team are from Lincoln County or Catawba County which is only about 7 miles from the school. And ALL players have been at Lincoln Charter since 6th/7th grade. Plus, to play any sport at Lincoln Charter School, which is a college preparatory school, an athlete must maintain a 3.0 GPA. How many schools or school systems can say that? And they have grade checks throughout the year to make sure ALL kids are eligible. . They have a great middle school program, who has won the last 4 conference championships, and a staff that works all year long to make these kids compete.

I wasn't really speaking to you Wildcat. Some of the previous comments were directed at charter schools and at Lincoln Charter directly.
Bareman - you are wrong; kids that apply to Charters do get turned down. Greystone has a lottery that determines who gets in. Siblings get priority. Also you weren't complaining when Mt Airy won those state football championships with multiple transfers. What's the difference?Admissions
- North Carolina charter schools are like traditional public schools in that they do not deny admission based on religion, gender, disability, race or nationality. However, openings may or may not be available because these schools generally aren’t as large as traditional public schools. If the school has more applicants than available slots, they use a lottery system to determine admission.

Wrong again.not sure what you're talking about...but charters don't turn kids away.. the only, and I mean only reason would be for some educational situation that the school doesn't provide (EC)
Not sure where you're getting you're info on charter schools, but you're misinformed.Most charter schools don't have room for everyone who applies so they have a lottery. They don't receive funding like traditional schools for construction so they cannot accept everyone.

I'm not arguing with you but part of their argument is what is the difference between Charters (etc.) and schools that allow transfers. Neither have boundaries.This whole argument is just another reason prep/charter schools need to be ousted from traditional play-offs. It's a joke and the NCHSAA should be ashamed. I mean it's comical to think that those kids at prep are there for academic reasons!

WSP is not a Charter school.Everyone knows the kids are being recruited which is a major violation from what I hear. Our waitor after the game attended Carver HS in Winston Salem and asked who we played and when we told him WSP he just laughed and asked how bad they beat us. He said its Not gonna be long before Forsyth Co. Makes a change and puts boundaries in place.
Same difference to me when you can pick from kids from all surrounding counties. Bringing in a couple kids is not the same as picking out of say all of Forsyth Co or Lincoln,Catawba, Mecklenburg, etc....You can spin it anyway you want but you need to be on your own class!
They get a D on facilities as well!the day boundaries are applied in WSFCS then the doors at WSPA will shut....but that will not happen during our life time....that school has less than 300 students and got a "D" on the last state report card....nothing educational there
Like I said you can spin it anyway you want I ant buying it and no one else is either!No one is "picking" Students/Parents are Choosing....
Not going to happen.He said its Not gonna be long before Forsyth Co. Makes a change and puts boundaries in place.
