I'm posing a question and would like everyone's thoughts. I don't have an opinion or idea one way or the other...just wondering. For quite a few years, Charlotte has had programs that were dominant statewide. You had Independence with Tom Knotts, Mallard Creek with Mike Palmieri, Butler with Mike Newsome and Brian Hales and Chambers. When I moved to Charlotte in 2008, there were some very good teams besides the ones mentioned. East Meck was very good, along with Providence. Recently, there's been an exodus of very good coaches to other states. I'm wondering with the exodus of these top notch coaches, along with the improvement in programs around the state, particularly East Forsyth and the Raliegh area, is Charlotte's dominance coming to an end. There's been evidence of this in recent years. I first noticed a difference with the Wake Forest run, then this past season with Cardinal Gibbons' state championship. In my opinion, the Charlotte area is still producing very good programs, but will we continue to see the dominance that occurred in the past. Some of you guys here are from Charlotte and have followed the ins and outs of Charlotte high school football for a long time. You'd know much better than I as I'm a relative newcomer, having moved to Charlotte from Maryland in 2008. I'm looking forward to your input and hearing things I don't know.
