Is Henderson Collegiate a public school?
Yes, just like everyone else in NCHSAA
No not even close to the traditional schools in the NCHSAA! Traditional schools don’t have the right of refusal to a student if their grades are bad or their test scores are low. Then they boast about the schools scores being higher than the surrounding public schools, well hell yeah they should be they get to cherry pick the students that are enrolled there.Yes, just like everyone else in NCHSAA
How can they play a 35 game schedule and be considered a public school? I'm not sure where this is headed?
That's correct BUT If you look at their schedule. They did not follow the NCHSAA rule with their schedule. NCHSAA messed up on this rule with Henderson Collegiate?Schools that don’t play football get 6 extra games and can start practice 2 weeks earlier.

I think Nov. 16th was when football playing schools started!
Andrews was beaten by Mitchel...another one of your "traditional" schools ...nice tryIt’s squeezing out traditional 1a schools that work hard with kids from the time they’re in kindergarten until they graduate high school just to be competitive. Andrews boys are a great example a very small school with a really good coach and team. They have 300 kids? They can’t compete with schools cherry picking Athletes from other schools. Neither could Avery high when they lost to wsp every year. It’s a real shame
Ten years ago Nantahala with around 50 students lost in the regional semifinals by three points to Hendersonville (who had 763 students for the record). It may be one of the greatest achievements in modern NCHSAA athletics.Andrews has 200

Again my issue is the handbook clearly says these extra games do not count in the rankings. This year they did. BC..... see above. These extra games vs the likes of Mor Prep etc allowed them to gain points / ratings whatever you want to call that, other schools mostly traditional could not do that. Henderson has 31 on adjusted rankings, Chatham Charter 29 and Voyager 28. Again a traditional school who played the max of 24 plus a 3 game conference tournament would have 27 at the most.
I'd take losing to the Hendersonville's and Maiden's of the world 10 times out of 10 than dealing with basketball mills and "1A" charter schools that recruit and/or draw from giant metro areas. Hendersonville, Maiden, etc. may have a big advantage in raw numbers compared to most 1A's but at least they are traditional publics.I think that also highlights the double edged sword for traditional 1A schools...take charter schools out and the dividing line goes up. the people thinking it was great before charter schools forget what is was like dealing with Cummings, Thomasville, Jordan-Matthews, Maiden, Hendersonville etc in 1A. Pick your poison.

I'm not here to argue or throw stones but it is the same argument every year once a "traditional" school doesn't make it. Honestly, rules of recruiting and transferring schools were made long before "nontraditional" schools came along. Hmm wonder why?
Honestly, I can see what some argue about. But for the most part, charter schools are accused of something they have nothing do to with. If a Charter school is being run properly, the word recruiting is a joke. The lottery in a school eliminates any type of recruiting going on at all (again, if the charter is being run properly...if not, they don't last). Kids can get on a list and hope and pray they get in but most of the time it doesn't work out. But again, most of these rules were put into place long before charters were even thought of so the problem lies within traditional schools as well.I’ll give you that...before it was charter schools and magnet schools people would argue about districts with more open policies for out of district students. But since it’s now the same argument every year, doesn’t that indicate maybe we aren’t dealing with apples to apples?
More kids to choose from. If you can recruit those kids to a 1a school it’s better talent. If Mitchell drew kids from a 30 mile radius we could get kids from any county bordering us. McDowell included. Gives a 1a team more talent to choose from.
I don’t think reclassify is an option with NCHSAA. You have charter confused with private.Are any of the kids at Henderson reclass kids?

Can someone tell me what the difference is between 1A and 4A talent? I don't understand how classification determines talent level. Talent is talent and has no respect of classification. IJS. I've seen some 1A players (boys and girls) that would hand some kids their butts on a platter in 4A.
