Last year rankings were not far off of projections. Conf. champs get 1 round bye?
I don't think I would break my rythem with byes,but some teams my need them.
Only in 4A/4AA and 1A/1AA. will there be 1st round byes, I believe.

judging by your logic the West always wins and the East never does.+2 for sure
Don’t want y’all having another cake walk to another state championship. If we don’t go 2A, you guys will go unchallenged once again, and y’all know this, internally. People mention Northeastern as a contender yearly, they're balanced, offensively, but never have any defense, the other teams are one dimensional running teams, schematically, a recipe for disaster vs the likes of Reidsville and Shelby.
Pretty much, man. I don’t want to engage in the redundant East vs West thing again, but when is the last time a bonified eastern team won it all in 2A/2AA? And, what I mean by “bonified”, is not one of those teams like a Reidsville or an Andrews that occasionally goes east, but are really western teams. I’m talking true eastern teams. There’s already talk that North Davidson will be in the east.judging by your logic the West always wins and the East never does.
+1 Gotta agree with you there Lion.Pretty much, man. I don’t want to engage in the redundant East vs West thing again, but when is the last time a bonified eastern team won it all in 2A/2AA?

From my observation, in my opinion, the West is stronger in football, the East is stronger in basketball. Northside went undefeated last season in hoops, blew out everyone.
But, having said this, there seems to be parity this year. East Duplin is looking strong out east, but as far as 2A goes, I don’t see anyone challenging Reidsville or Shelby. 2AA West could see Shelby, South Point, Newton Conover, and Hibriten, murderers row. East Duplin and North Davidson, a western team who is rumored to be placed in the east, are the top contenders. Just my opinion.
Our last three playoff losses were on the road.I think we have won 20 or so in a row at home.

They got my attention destroying Asheville.FYI... North Davidson is a team that has sent traditionally top 4A teams like Easth Forsyth and Scotland County home in 3rd and 4th rounds. I think they are the most dangerous team in the 2A right now although they are slightly flying under the radar because of their one loss to Tabor(I think it was Mt Tabor).
Richlands is 2A as of this yearThey have Richlands in there. Richlands is 3A
why even bother with the state title games then? its a waste of everybody's time.That's almost the case based on the math
Please please please let everything line up
love the TR quote!Most of the West teams can sleep all they want on Northeastern as the earliest they could possibly see them would be December 8/9. Why should they worry about something that can't happen for 8 weeks or may not happen at all, either because they don't make it that far themselves or Northeastern doesn't?

So Reidsville and Shelby both are gonna be 2AA?Pretty much, man.

trophies from his past proudly displayed.
Not talking about Shelby Trophies.... I'm talking about your personal trophies from rec league and middle school. Hell you may even get a replica Championship Ring for all your support through the years.

crest put 14
looks like King Mountain put up 17
looks like South Pointe put 25. Mmmmm give me a break
So Reidsville and Shelby both are gonna be 2AA?
And you're ok with that?
There up to number 5 in the country.#14 in 3A averaging 27 points a game against way more difficult comp than Reidsville's
#13 in 3A averaging 39.7 points per game against way more difficult comp than Reidsville's
#7 team in the NATION averaging 42 points per game against way way more difficult comp than Reidsville's
(You forgot about the 8 AC reynolds got....the #12 team in 3A averaging 41 ppg.)
No....no breaks given.
Unless the Anson County school has moved it is west of both North and Ledford. even though the edge of Anson County does go further East.I revised my 2AA projections this morning (based on last year's ADM numbers, so still at least half way a shot in the dark), and now both North Davidson and Ledford head West...because both Anson and Southern Vance slip into 2AA East with big surprise wins last Friday
I would like to believe you are right, but the competition has been so weak since week 2 or 3 that we really have no gauge on improvement. We will wait and see, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Shelby and South Point are both programs that have been there, done that. That means a lot come crunch time.I expect North Davidson to win 2AA, if not them then South Point or Shelby(if they go 2AA)
