[QUOTE="volfan1219, post: 294523, member: 12 Asheville should beat Enka and North Buncombe every year, they just have more athletes and football players and if I'm correct I do believe he did just that with only losing to those two schools once! Until recently they should have beat Erwin most years! Besides a few years here and there they should beat Roberson every year! Except for Reynolds they should beat most of the teams most years that have been in the conference and both Reynolds and Asheville have done that for the most part! QUOTE]
I don't think there is any question that Asheville consistently has the most talent in the entire mountains of Western North Carolina. Obviously this isn't the case EVERY year, but if you were to take the 300 to 400 high school football teams in the mountains of Western North Carolina the last 15 years, I bet you 10 of the top 15 most talented rosters are Asheville rosters. No team in the entire state has had more NFL draft picks the last 21 years than Asheville high. Independence, Asheville and EE Smith all have had 5 nfl draft picks, but nobody has 6. Volfan is right, the MAC is an absolute joke of a football conference (aside for 3 teams). McDowell and Roberson have to beat each other to win a conference championship. That means you can go 1-10 and if that win is against McDowell or Roberson, you won the conference championship.
It will take a few teams to see how good the new coach is, but no coach in WNC will have as much talent to work with year in and year out than the coach of Asheville high over a decade worth of time. Unfortunately for Asheville, our talent hasn't always led us to as many wins as it should have, especially lately.
