Thats what i would like to know Wilkes Central. I know its early, but Starmount and East Wilkes will be predicted the top 2 in conference. What will be the outcome Elkin, Alleghany, West Wilkes, North Wilkes, Wilkes Central, Ashe County, Elkin?

I'd say Central, West, Alleghany battle for 3-5. Ashe could creep in there. I think they lost a bit and their JVs weren't good but we also know their offense creates issues for the MVAC teams. Going back into the conference is the best thing that happened for them. Elkin and North fight for the basement.
 
Ashe does have an exiting air raid offense but that's balanced out by them not having a defense. Conference is definitely Starmounts to lose..does East have alot returning?

Ashe will be ok if they are able to be successful with the air raid next year. But if others can keep up they'll be in trouble. Much of their success in the old MVAC days was the ability to simply outpace and outshoot others.

I think Central and West will be tough for them. West could be sneaky next year.
 
WC's a year away from being truly competive imo. In 2026 and 27 they will be a solid foe for Starmount. They had a really good Freshman group last year, sophomore and junior classes aren't that great so they had to rely on the Freshman more on both levels. It's why their varsity was rough last year. They had more athletes up top but the line was bad. The freshman group they had were very physical and ran that option extremely well on JV. If they keep the old man as HC and stay in that offense they will be very hard to stop unless your big and athletic. Starmount can do that. Everyone else probably not. They beat North and West Wilkes in shutouts last year. I don't think they will be deep playoffs good unless they find some consistency, they let two games they shoulda won slip late on JV last year.

West will be improved but they are reliant on their backs too much, if one or both of their two main backs get hurt they will be lost. If they face a good team defense they'd have challenges. Not that big either.

Ashe'll be better because the level of competition's down from those Northwestern teams but their JV team was pretty bad last year. They called it one of the worst freshman groups they have ever seen. They'll start off hot this year and maybe next then it'll be a drop near the end of the 4 years, it depends on how good this year's freshman will be. If their #'s increase that'll be a help too, I think with more local teams they are playing it will help.

So in your opinion it's 1. Starmount who is 2nd and 3rd?
 
From what i hear East Wilkes returns alot and a good JV team from a year ago. Currently their feeder program is looking good. I will predict that Wilkes Central could finish 3rd. As for Elkin. They have a winning HC, but not alot talent to work with at this time. It might be awhile before people start talking about the Elks again.
 
WC always has the athletes, but seems to fade away into the abyss, never to be seen again. The culture of the athletic program is a major problem. It starts from the top. They always have the best talent in Wilkes County and crumble like a $3 folding chair.

EW graduated several good kids, qb for one. But their backfield and majority of the lines will all be returning along with the kids moving up from the 1 loss JV team from a year ago.

When we talk 'bout Ashe County's game, calling it 'tricky' is like calling a magician's rabbit 'cute.' You think you know what’s coming, but BAM! They pull a new play outta nowhere, leaving the MVAC teams puzzled. Sure, they lost some key players, but if they can switch it up like a chameleon in a paint shop, we might see 'em giving folks a real challenge! Can their offense keep ‘em in the game? Only time gonna tell! MVAC teams – it’s like trying to catch a slippery pig at the fair! Let’s see who ready for the Ashe County wild ride!
