I dont know about all that, with the Wilson Prep's and Henderson Collegiate's of the world still around the 1A publics are still behind the 8-ball even with Lincoln Charter moving up.Mount Airy had a good shot at the 1A title this coming year
Hayesville?? Come on man I hear that name every year and each year they are put out in the first round or two. They play in a very weak conference and it hurts them come playoff time. If they want to prepare themselves, make the 3 hour drive and play some teams in Hickory/Gastonia/or Charlotte area.I dont know about all that, with the Wilson Prep's and Henderson Collegiate's of the world still around the 1A publics are still behind the 8-ball even with Lincoln Charter moving up.
Hayesville was probably going to be the best 1A public team this year with a D1 point guard in Kolbe Ashe and 6'7 D1 athlete Jake McTaggart moving back to Hayesville this summer after leading Towns County to the 1A title in Georgia last year.
Either way I hate to see public schools lose their athletes to preps and charters, that's a tough blow for Mount Airy.
You don't hear the name Hayesville from me every year, you must have me confused with someone else, because most years I agree with you that they come in overhyped. This is the first time in a long time I think that they're a real contender.Hayesville?? Come on man I hear that name every year and each year they are put out in the first round or two.

Wilson Prep had their moment in the sun. They cheated and I mean cheated (with NCHSAA knowing) to win a state. Henderson Collegiate will be tough as always. But the West is wide open again. Mt. Airy has a shot still. The PG and SG are solid and at 1A level all you need is 1 or 2 guys. They have that this year.
Everybody's entitled to their opinion. I guess it's technically true they went out 2d round last year, although with a round cut out that was basically the 3rd round, and they went more than two rounds deep the two years before that. Anyway, this year's team will should be a good bit more talented than those teams. Take 4 of the top 6--including a point guard with a couple D1 offers-- from a team that was undefeated until losing by a basket to Mountain Island Charter in the Sweet 16. Then add this kid (6-7, numerous D1 football offers, a hoops state title in GA and Atlanta Journal-Constitution Georgia Class A basketball player of the year last year) and you're crazy if you don't think that will be a good team. I don't know if that will be enough, but if it isn't enough to at least be in the running come March, then I'd be surprised if a traditional public school ever won the title again.Hayesville??

I will believe what I see Mount Airy and other schools have posted by Friday or next week. It's like playing cards, you don't show your cards when they are first dealt.I dont know about all that, with the Wilson Prep's and Henderson Collegiate's of the world still around the 1A publics are still behind the 8-ball even with Lincoln Charter moving up.
