Charlotte Catholic is a private school where lots of players come to play football, and have a feeder middle school that feeds just one school. Charlotte Catholic also has a 25 mile geographical border with 6 counties players can come from. So residency isn't much of an issue. 82% of the schools voted to remove parochial/private schools from the NCHSAA. be sure to mention it all.

Just like Cardinal Gibbons and similar to Bishop McGuiness. Charlotte Catholic has better coaching and better tradition though IMHO.
I'm kind of an outlier here. Personally, it wouldn't upset me too much if Catholic had to leave the NCHSAA. They could play fairly good competition from other private schools. Plus like they've done before, they could play teams from other catholic and private school leagues from out of state. Cardinal Gibbons and Charlotte Catholic could be the beginnings of a pretty good catholic/private school league.
I hope Catholic remains in the NCHSAA forever. Love the tradition, love the way they play and as we have found out if you come to play they are beatable.
Good luck Cougars (Asheville), wish you were playing here in Charlotte so I could come watch. Keep it rolling!
i think they not only got healthy they got better
Covid and injures. Our kicker was literally playing on the OL and DL. Both games we had 4 OL/DL out. And lost starting QB 2nd qtr of KM game. Taking nothing away from them teams… good teams. No excuses.
Locked into a restaurant opening but would have loved to make this trip especially this time of year.

Asheville High Fans,
I am staying in nearby Candler and looking to go to the game. With traffic and trying to get in. How much time should allow for parking and walking? Also, no judgment are fans required to wear masks inside the stadium? I have noticed there is a difference in expectations from Asheville to Candler.
Thanks for any advice looking forward to seeing an actual western NC playoffs

Be sure to state the truth.. you seem to have an issue with the truth 82% of the schools voted to remove Catholic... again you don't tell the truth becuase that is not a factual statement , which is why you do not have credibility. You also fail to state that all the kids from Holy Trinity don't all go to Charlotte catholic. or how man kids move to other schools than come to Catholic... or that catholic draws its 90% + of its students from a population that makes up about 5% of the population. ( I understand that doing some basic math is hard for you). Especially if it does not support your BS narrative. I would be willing to bet that most of the good programs in Charlotte have had more transfers in one year, than Catholic has had in a decade. You can not even say the word parochial school because a private school is not allowed to play in the public school league.
You can't even say it...
Mallard Creek wins 13-12

Good game. Defense stood strong. QB1 got a concussion on scoring td to take a 12-0 lead. MC scored 13 unanswered in 4th. Congrats creek
Lol where's the (creek is dead posts now) good win.
Wow. This was better than I thought. Congratulations to both teams. Mallard Creek for the win and Asheville hanging in like they did.
Fina
Oh well! We have the National All Star team next week. Starting at SS out of G-Boro, Starting at RB out of Fayetteville, Starting in the secondary from SC, Starting on DL from Texas, flying in from Hawaii ....etc etc
Dangit!!!! Good season Cougs!! Yall have some great kids and an awesome coaching staff! Hope QB1 is ok!!! 🙏
It’s hilarious real quiet out there and a few trying to slither back towards the warmth of the winning. Nah just stay out there with that same energy you exposed yourself. 😀
I thought this game would be a good measuring stick for the Cougars and they did great.
8 teams left in West 4a- They all come from three conferences.
Yes, and six of those eight are from two conferences. Who would've thought the predominantly Union County conference would have three teams remaining . Weddington perhaps, but I didn't see Cuthbertson and Porter Ridge still standing. The way they started the season, I didn't expect Mallard Creek to still be here either. Good luck to all the teams remaining. You've played well and all deserve to be here.
I think probably the biggest surprise is the South Meck and Southwestern got nobody past the 2nd round. Lots of people in Charlotte were screaming about Olympic not being in but now it doesnt look like a big oversight.
I expect this for the next 3 years as well. Larger schools have an advantage, tough for smaller schools in smaller cities to match the depth. Asheville did very good this year, but realistically no one expected ACR or Asheville to compete for a state title.
Well the Butler win was impressive . But squeaking by a mountain team that should be 3A is not ! Hough is next, the creek is done
Congratulations to Asheville on a very good season. See you guys next August.
