Looks good. I made my first attempt at figuring this out over the weekend. I had a couple errors but basically the same. Thanks for doing this.

 

[LTown Wolves]

@GrizzlyDevil thanks for the work. Always look forward to this post. Any idea where we’d be assuming Bunker Hill wins out and gets the 1 seed?

 

[Bobert253]

Reidsville-CS Davidson 3rd Round setting up 4th Round game with Reidsville and Shelby. Bottom bracket give me Randleman-Brevard 3rd Round then Randleman and Monroe in the 4th Round with Reidsville and Randleman to decide the West!! If it started today!!

 

[Bobert253]

Lincolnton is dangerous as a 10 seed would love to see them and Salisbury in the later rounds

How is Monroe this year? I know they always have athletes, but their schedule looks to be really weak. 29-52 record overall. The best teams they have played are Central Davidson, Porter Ridge, Forest Hills and Anson. They've had several teams in the past that we all thought would make a run, but seemed to choke, for lack of a better word. Maybe they're under the radar a little this year and this will be their year.

At Maiden!…wait and see!😂

Wouldn’t be surprised at all.

If you shut down Monroe's QB from running you can beat them. Usually bouncing to the outside. Something FH didn't do or adjust to. When he's forced to throw he'll just sling it up hoping the other talent will get it. FH intercepted him twice but didnt capitalize on it. Not the most accurate QB but probably the fastest guy on the field when you face him. They do have talent and speed as usual. Watch out for nationally ranked athlete Jordan Young. He doesn't leave the field much. FH problem at the time was the non stop rotating QBs which hurt us in the early season. When our current starter (6' 3" Zach Dilworth) took over he lead us to our only TD that night against Monroe but it was too late. He's since thrown for almost a 1000 yards and 10 TDs since. It's been against weaker opposition but he's now getting the consistent reps and has improved drastically.

I don't know how big of a change Monroe is from last year but when I saw them last year even when the quarterback hit the receivers they dropped everything. That team last year couldn't catch a cold when I saw them.

Against FH Chambers their QB was 4/10 123 yards 1 TD and 2 INTs. Unfortunately he ran for 100 yards which we failed to stop.

please tell me hurricane weary Madison Co. doesn't have to travel to Reidsville to face the Rams again for the third year in a row?? last 2 years the combined score is Reidsville 154 Madison Co 14......not to mention first round of basketball back earlier this year where Reidsville won 92-17..................

If it stays as is pretty easy bracket for Reidsville

Thanks GrizzleyDevil I appreciate the time you take to do this!!

Yeah, count me out on going to that game.

As far as dangerous teams once the playoffs start, I think any of the teams from CVAC, West Stokes, Walkertown from the mid-state, and Burns are dangerous. The teams in CVAC are all beating up on each other and West Stokes and Walkertown gave Reidsville a scare, which lets be honest, hasn’t happened in a while, and Burns is well coached with athletes. Not sure anyone in the West wants to see any of these teams roll in.

Brevard and East Rutherford too!

 

[Otis4411]

When do the playoffs start? I’m asking for a friend!

 

[JKTigers0713champs]

When do the playoffs start? I’m asking for a friend!

November 15th i think

 

[olddog77]

November 15th i think

Should be the 8th

 

[FHJackets90]

Should be the 8th

The playoffs have been postponed one week due to Hurricane Helene. Start on the the 15th and end Dec. 20-21. Some teams are playing and additional game on the week of the 8th if they choose to.

Shows you what I know

I don’t think South Granville can be an 11 seed even though they won the 2A part of their conference. They want finish above 500

 

[SWE'98]

Having Tarboro on our schedule must carry a lot of weight. I can't think of any other reason why SWE, with its losing record and last place position in the conference, would even be in the playoffs, much less a top 20 seed. Not so sure I like how they do it now, because no team that finishes last in their conference should make the playoffs, no matter how strong their schedule is. If you've proven that you can't even compete to be the best team in your own group, then it's obvious that you aren't worthy of an opportunity to prove that you are the best team in the state.

 

[Chopper747]

Everybody in the west bracket has a struggle except for Reidsville, cake walking into round 4 based off this projection

 

[Maiden Creek]

It says must finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and/or finish .500.
They’ll finish 3rd…I think they’re in as a champion.

I think SWE has beaten 2 (2a East) conference champions.

Nash Central and Eastern Wayne

Watch and see if those two aren’t seeded in the top 11 when it’s all said and done.

I believe SWE should be there!

same could be said for Shelby

 

[HoeyMan76]

It's usually that way for a number 1 seed.

#1 seeds have always had the easiest path. That's how it's set up.

Agree but I have seen 1 seeds upset before

 

[SWE'98]

Happens often. But their path is still the easiest when the brackets come out. Still have to play though. I love it when #1 seeds get upset in the first rounds in any sport.

 

[kingbluedevil]

North Surry and East Surry have good teams not sure how they matchup with Reidsville

 

[Chopper747]

#1 seeds have always had the easiest path. That's how it's set up.

yes and no, when brackets are loaded there's at least one somewhat challenging game, or even two before the regional.
